Gadgets of the week: Intex Thriller 1300, Poco X8 Power and Ninja CRISPI

Intex Thriller 1300

The Thriller 1300 is a 130W trolley speaker from Intex designed for style, convenience and powerful sound. It has a rechargeable battery (runs for 3hrs+) and dual cordless Mics for fun karaoke nights. I found both the connectivity impressive (this connects via BT, USB, AUX and plays FM) and the front RGB lights energising. Sound is capable with a 10” woofer and 4” tweeters and MID speaker on board. You also get a IR remote and full digital controls. The trolley speaker is easy to move courtesy of wheels and an extendable handle. Impressive trolley speaker from Intex! ₹30,999.

Poco X8 Power

Poco’s new X8 Power is a formidable phone with a “never-ending” 10000-mAh battery on board! I loved using the yellow variant (looks unique and sporty) over the last few weeks, reasons including - a 1.5K 6.83” 120Hz AMOLED display, IP69K durability, 4 years OS updates, Corning’s Gorilla Glass Victus 2 for protection, 10000mAh battery (lasts for 2-3 days on mixed use ) with 100W charging, underwater camera mode, a scorching Qualcomm SD 6 Gen 5 processor and a 50MP OIS dual camera/32MP front cam. Poco X8 power also runs on the smooth Xiaomi HyperOS3 with Hyper AI for all your daily needs. X8 Power is great for entertainment with HDR10+ and Dolby Vision/Atmos and Hi-Res audio. A smartphone like the POCO X8 Power pushes the limits of performance, durability and longevity for mid-range smartphones! ₹35,999.

Ninja CRISPI

The Ninja CRISPI is an insanely good Air Fryer which uses CleanCrisp high grade borosilicate glass for retaining flavour, texture and nutrition. The Glass air Fryer provides 100% chemical-free (PFAS-free) glass cooking which is much safer for health compared to non-glass air fryers. I could literally see  the entire food cooking, crisping and browning through the glass. CRISPI has a 1700W PowerPod which delivers fast, efficient and powerful air-fry performance. The Glass Air-fryer comes with 2 containers (1.4L and 3.8L)  which can also be stored in freezers or even microwaved for reheating. Even the crisper plate here is PFAS-free. Results were excellent across the board with Ninja CRISPI where I could make healthy, oil-free dishes (grilled veggies/meat, fries, baked dishes and gravies) in 10-20 minutes with minimum prep. Ninja CRISPI is a revolutionary glass Air-Fryer which adds safety and health to your amazing cooking experience. ₹15,999.

Rolex Perpetual Padellone

Rolex has launched a novel Annual calendar in the form of the Perpetual Padellone with a moon phase display. The unique watch requires only a single adjustment in a year (Feb-March) as it can differentiate30-etween 30 and 31-day months. Also it’s instantaneous - at midnight day, date and month change seamlessly. The 39mm watch comes in 3 options - Everest Gold, Everest Gold with bracelet and the 950 Platinum shown here. A Calibre 7190 powers the Padellone (coincidentally means “big pan" in Italian). The watch displays accurate time, day, date and month and the current phase of the moon.
