Our Google Pixel 6a video review is up

Google finally released its mid-range offering from the Pixel 6 lineup and we couldn't miss reviewing it. Despite the Pixel 6a being marketed as a midranger, many of the phone's aspects are flagship-worthy. It has a bright OLED panel, albeit 60Hz, a flagship Tensor chipset and a nice set of capable cameras. We have every detail of the phone explored in our written review, but we totally understand those that would rather watch the highlights summed up on video as well. Ricky delivers all the highs and lows of the Pixel 6a in just under 9 minutes.

Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 in for review

The Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 has landed at HQ and we've got an unboxing for you. It comes with a case for the rear glass panel, complete with an adjustable kickstand, a USB-C to 3.5mm dongle, a 67W charger, and a cable. The Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 is among the thinnest foldables around. It measures 5.4mm when unfolded, and 11.2mm when folded. Compare that to the Galaxy Z Fold4's 6.3mm/15.8mm, and the Xiaomi phone feels thin as air. There's a lot to say about the Mix Fold 2 in comparison to the Galaxy Z Fold4.

Xiaomi Smart Speaker IR Control review

The Smart Speaker IR Control is Xiaomi's latest audio product, at least in the Indian market. It's a modestly priced device for its category with one interesting new feature; it lets you control devices around your house with just your voice, as long as they work with an IR remote. Design The Xiaomi Smart Speaker is a relatively compact device, measuring 14cm tall and 9.5cm across. It is made out of matte black plastic that does unfortunately show dust quite readily and requires regular cleaning. On the front is a four character seven-segment LED display that mostly just...

Realme 9i 5G hands-on

Realme launched the 9i in January and followed up with the 5G version last week. It has Soulful Blue, Rocking Black, and Metallica Gold color options, but Realme is currently only selling the latter two models, with the blue variant coming at some later point. We got a chance to spend some time with the Metallica Gold version, so here are our first-hand impressions. The Realme 9i 5G comes in a yellow-colored box similar to its 4G counterpart, including a protective case, a SIM card ejector tool, a USB-C cable, an 18W power adapter, and some paperwork.
