It was only a matter of time before WickedLeak would answer the call and bring out its own Wammy phablet. Unlike the Wammy Note, which was a 5 inch smartphone, the Wammy Titan is a proper hybrid device with a stylus and the girth to match.

At first glance though, it resembles a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 or even the recently released Galaxy Grand. Not that it’s a bad thing because we are beyond the point of manufacturers ripping off designs from each other, but was there really nothing more original available? Regardless, the plastic construction and curved corners ...

Devices like the Karbonn A15 fill an interesting little segment. They aren’t powerful enough to really compete with big brands but perform most of the basic functions that said brands can. However, with the big brands increasingly branching out into budget offerings – and the smaller ones performing magnificently, such as with the Pantech Discover – do devices like the A15 still have a place?

As such, we have yet to really find any consistency of quality with Karbonn’s devices. The A15, unlike its predecessors, adopts an all-black front finish which is immediately reminiscent of the Apple iPhone but with ...

Keeping that annoying shine away from oily skin is probably one of the tougher jobs in the world. Only those with oily skin would know the pain and the number of problems this skin type brings along with it, always leading us on to the search for newer products that can control oil and keep our face matte and shine-free. One of the most trusted names in skincare; Pond’s has brought us a face wash in the form of facial foam - Pond's Oil Control Skin Mattifying Facial Foam -, meant to target and aid in case of such skin ...

Now that we’ve gotten the keypad and QWERTY devices out of the way, it’s time to see how an honest-to-goodness Nokia touchscreen smartphone measures up to the recent budget Android devices. Ever since Samsung introduced its budget Rex range of smartphones, the comparisons between Nokia’s Asha series has been inevitable. Does the Nokia Asha 308, a dual SIM, Series 40 device possible measure up to an Android Jelly Bean touting phone? At least in design terms, the Asha 308 looks more premium than the Rex line. A gold shade adorns the candy-bar design, similar to the Asha ...

Though the Butterfly/Droid DNA set our collective imaginations on fire, the real revolution was yet to arrive from HTC. Codenamed the “M5”, this new device would be the next evolution, following the HTC One X and competing with the next generation of Samsung Galaxy and Apple iPhone. Now that the HTC One is finally here, it feels slightly sobering yet all the more unreal. A chunk of that enthusiasm is attributable to the design. Gone is the polycarbonate unibody look of the One X and One S – the HTC One now features an almost fully aluminum, sharp edged design ...

The Samsung Rex 70 completes the range of low budget smartphone the manufacturer has created to cater to the average entry-level consumer. While the range itself has been somewhat wanting in terms of performance, it’s fairly impressive for introducing Android Jelly Bean on such meager specs. The Rex 70 pretty much continues that trend, but we’re just comparing miniscule differences at this point. At least the design has been one of the more interesting points of diversion – Samsung made sure that each Rex model looks unique.

The Rex 70 incorporates a more curved cornered look, making the silver ...

Whirlpool being the pioneer in refrigerator market has launched its Ice Magic series of refrigerators which has a distinct brand value.

Even if big manufacturers enter into the budget smartphone stream, Micromax has proven it more than capable lately of competing. If the Canvas HD didn’t show up the Samsung Galaxy Grand, then the A27 Ninja provided a viable alternative to Samsung’s recently launched Rex line-up. The Micromax Bolt A35 is another recently released budget smartphone, again packing Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread, but it underscores just how far manufacturers like Samsung and even Nokia have to go if they wish to compete. The design sticks to a plain black plastic finish with silver edges, but flip it over ...

For those with oily skin, choosing the right face wash often becomes a problem because some face washes for oily skin tend to dry out the skin too much, resulting in it feeling stretched and dry.

Himalaya has come up with this face wash that deep cleanses oily skin and removes excess oil while being gentle on the skin and also containing 100% herbal actives.

The Samsung Rex 90 represents the absolute best that the range has to offer, but considering that this is a range best known for its cost-effectiveness, that’s not saying much. However, considering that it can Android Jelly Bean on its modest range of specs – which not a lot of mobile device can (or should) claim to do – is it not worth a look? Like the Samsung Galaxy Y, and even a mix of the Samsung Galaxy S Duos, the Rex 90 features a more relaxed design. The curved corners still coexist with the silver edge linings and large home ...

Present a Fisher Price Chatter Phone to your child and make him happy! Children like toys very much. It is natural that they like toys and there is a wide range of benefits of these toys.

Fisher price chatter phones were invented in 1962 for the first time and in the last half a century, these toys have gone through a very long way.

Bizarre as it sounds, the HTC Desire U is very much like the Desire VT – it’s even meant for China. The design goes with the simple polycarbonate unibody seen on the Desire V, with the bezel clearly visible around the display. The back panel is interesting for the spiral design around the camera lens. It somewhat helps in gripping the device, though it’s made awkward by just how you’re supposed to grip it. Build quality is strong and the device weighs roughly 119 grams, while measuring 0.37 inches thick. Again, this isn’t much different from ...

Call this one of the more baffling follow-ups to an excellent machine that we’ve seen in a while, but the reality is clear: the Dell Inspiron One 2330 is no XPS One 27. But let’s back-track a bit – when Dell released the latter in the market, it immediately caused a stir. Not because of its components or design or for being one of the best Windows 8 all-in-one PCs out there, but because it featured a 2K resolution display, a first for a non-iMac system. This was accentuated by the fact that even the lowest configuration featured that ...

The Samsung Series has seen more than enough incarnations in the past few months, but one model that’s continuously been sticking out is the Series 5. Whether it’s the high performance Series 5 Gamer or the reliable powerhouse of the Series 550P, Samsung has found a great means to show its dominance in the Windows 8 age. The Samsung Series 5 Ultra Touch aims to bring touch screen technology to its ultrabook line, all while enabling excellent performance and battery life. The design itself speaks volumes, as Samsung went with a matted aluminium lid and metallic body that ...

QWERTY smartphones are generally regarded with a bit of casual disdain, but devices like the LG Mach have shown there’s a good enough market for manufacturers willing to do it right. After all, why try to fit into a touch screen and keypad into one surface, when you can split the two and get the best of both worlds? Cue the Samsung Galaxy Stratosphere 2, which exudes the typical Samsung aesthetic with rounded corners and silver edged linings. It weighs about 154 grams, with a bulky 0.53 inch thickness, but this is backed up by strong build quality ...

For all intents and purposes, let it be stated that Lenovo is extremely gutsy with the new IdeaCentre Horizon Table PC. Yes, you heard us right: a table PC. This means a typical, 27 inch, all-in-one PC that can be laid down flat like a table and which runs Windows 8. On one hand, this sounds like a great idea for business and graphic designers who can gather around and make inputs on the fly, all at once. However, the IdeaCentre Horizon is primarily billed at home PC owners. Already the problems start to add up: Do you have this ...

No matter how many times it tried, mobile manufacturing upstart Spice keeps missing the mark with its smartphones and phablets. Its latest effort though, the Spice Stellar Virtuoso MI-495, perfectly underscores what’s wrong with its process as a whole. The problem starts with the design, as the MI-495 looks exactly like an Apple iPhone 4S with glossy panels and silver bandings around the device (no Home button though). Comparisons end there as the device, despite its rugged build, doesn’t have as luxurious a make or feel as the iPhone 4S. Though not as sleek either, it is pretty ...

The Nokia Asha series, despite its overall lack of performance, has been a fairly good decision on the part of its manufacturer. As an introductory measure for first-time smartphone users and budget consumers, the Nokia Asha 310 is the latest in the range. There’s not much that’s different this time, aside from dual SIM functionality. When compared directly to the Asha 311, the device looks significantly sleeker, an extension of the Asha 308 and 309 models. The fabled unibody is still in effect, and this time it weighs roughly 104 grams (compared to the 311’s 95 grams ...

As a brand, Himalaya Herbals has acquired the trust of millions of people in India. They bring us some of the most effective skin care products which are natural, herbal and affordably priced for the common man to be able to use them to their benefit. A toner is a must as a part of your skin care regimen. It removes any excess oil and dirt from the face, refreshes the skin, tightens pores and makes your skin beautiful with daily use as part of the CTM (Cleansing, Toning, Moisturizing routine.) Today’s review focuses on the Himalaya Herbals Refreshing ...

HTC has been on the warpath with recently released premium smartphones like the One X+ and Droid DNA. It’s been making quite the effort in the budget market as well, with a range of Desire phones each carrying their own unique trait. Along with the One VX, HTC is looking to bring some of that variety over to the One series with the One SV. The design is the usual unibody look, arched slightly in the back, with a nicely matted back panel and Gorilla Glass adorned front. So you can count on scratches and blemishes for the respective ...

After much anticipation and many delays, the BlackBerry Z10 is finally here with the new BlackBerry OS 10. This new OS marks the first significant evolution to the interface since…well, arguably since its first inception. Obviously, the Z10 is up against a large variety of competition – it’s specs and features, earlier thought to be ground-breaking, now have to content with the very best that Samsung, HTC, Apple and even Sony have to offer. But first, the design, which is unlike any BlackBerry device to date, promoting sharp corners, bands across the top and bottom of the display, and ...

The Asus VivoBook S550CM continues the company’s strategy of inundating the market with quality Windows 8 notebooks and configurations until eventually the consumer gives up and settles. For the most part, when it comes to a touch-based experience, this strategy has been working fairly well. However, what differentiates the S550CM from its siblings, thus making it a worthier purchase? It’s certainly not the design which continues the black streaked metal lid that’s becoming the trademark of the device line. It’s slightly thicker than the S400CA at 0.86 inches and weighs 2.6 kg. An ultrabook ...

I am a huge fan of Maybelline products. This is one brand that seems to combine both quality and style in each product that they launch in the market. Maybelline Fruity Jelly Lip Glosses come in delectable shades. Today’s review focuses on the Maybelline Fruity Jelly Lip Gloss – Crazy for Caramel.

Similac Go and Grow doesn’t need any introduction it has already made its mark in the baby care category for producing premier healthy products for their customers. Similac Go and Grow is yet another baby boomer product from its basket. It is introduced to cater the needs of parents to give their child the critical nutrients required for growth. At this time, not everything that parents give contains all the nutrients nor is it necessary that it suits the child’s pallet and tummy. Which is where Similac Go and Grow proves to be important for children as it ...

Released as the Droid DNA in the United States and the J Butterfly in Japan, HTC’s newest smartphone has captivated its fair share of minds. Known simply as the HTC Butterfly in India, this marks the first time that a smartphone (or even phablet) with a 1080p display has been seen in India. Is it worth the hype and hullabaloo? Does the display really live up to expectations? How different is it from the Droid DNA, which we reviewed not too long ago? Well, here’s a major spoiler: the Butterfly and Droid DNA look exactly alike – and that ...

We are always on the lookout for creams and under eye gels. Most times, no matter how many people recommend certain creams- one is usually disappointed by the under-eye creams. Perhaps the problem lies with the fact that we usually expect under-eye products to magically erase dark circles- the failure of which, in most cases, we attribute to the failure of a cream. However, the job of an under-eye cream is not necessarily limited to the eradication of dark circles: there is an array of things that an eye gel is responsible for- the most important being, resting of the ...

Dell has always been firmly on the Windows 8 radar with its XPS line-up, producing some great all-in-one PCs like the XPS One 27 and great notebooks like the XPS 15z. However, as the delineation of technology continues – and to offer more battery-friendly alternatives – we’re starting to see more portable Windows 8 machines from manufacturers, like the Dell XPS 10 for instance. Altogether, with its rounded corners and silver linings, it looks sleek enough to use as a regular tablet. It weighs 626 grams and measures 0.36 inches in thickness, certainly thinner than other devices like the Microsoft ...

Windows 8 has officially overtaken all normal spheres of life from tablets and smartphones to convertibles and notebooks. However, there are still a few players out there who are sticking to Windows 7 – even if they don’t normally pose a threat to the competition. Fujitsu is one such example. On its own, the Fujitsu LifeBook AH552/SL is fairly unassuming in its design. The lid is made of aluminium and the overall body features a black finish. However, it measures only an inch thick and weighs 2.2 kg, making it lighter than your average notebook but slightly heavier ...

That the “iPad-killer” is still a worthy title for a tablet to carry is indicative of just how popular Apple’s device continues to be. However, there are some devices that legitimately dwarf the device without charging an arm and a leg (per year) for it. The Archos 97 Titanium HD is one such device, if it wasn’t obvious from the all-white emblazoned design, rectangular dimensions and slightly curved corners. And did we mention silver edges? The casing is aluminium too, and weighs a mere 640 grams while measuring 0.35 inches thick. The newest iPad weighs 653 grams ...

The world of MP3 players is an odd place. For every new iteration of the iPod Touch and Nano, there are several other players vying for the limelight. A lot of them simply escape notice or just aren’t worth the time, but we have seen some decent efforts like Samsung’s Galaxy Player series. With that in mind, and considering all the amazing work the company has been doing in pushing new and innovative takes on technology out of the door (like the Samsung Galaxy Camera), we look at the Samsung Galaxy Muse. As an ultraportable music player, that ...

Just as the Zenbook Prime series brought Asus to the forefront of the ultrabook industry, so does the VivoBook in the Windows 8 era. But if the Asus VivoBook S400CA didn’t float your boat, then maybe the 15 inch VivoBook S56CA will. With a smart, plain black aluminium lid and silver brushed body, the S56CA surely looks the part. And at 0.83 inches in thickness, while quite heavy at 2.27 kg, the device was easy to manage with a strong stable body overall. Perhaps the only issue is that glossy nature of the lid, which attracts dust ...

Just as Lenovo has its ThinkPad line of notebooks, evidenced by the recent ThinkPad X1 Carbon Touch, HP also wields its own ultrabook line of business notebooks. In fact, the EliteBook Folio range initially made up the first wave of ultrabooks. HP is looking to get back onto executives’ desks (via their wallets, of course) with the new EliteBook Folio 9470, which brings Windows 8, a slightly revamped design and a 14 inch display. The look itself isn’t a big deal, with the white lid offsetting the silver coatings of the past. Aluminium still adorns the body, helping to ...

Your first thought on seeing Celkon A200 smartphone won’t be one complimenting the typical design. Truthfully, after the unibody-like, curved edge shell that HTC revolutionized with the One series (which anyway was used to some effect in their previous mobiles) doesn’t look so new anymore. Also, combined with the somewhat cheap plastic build of the device and you might dismiss the Celkon A200 as just another budget Indian handheld. The good news is: It’s far more than that. Despite the 0.42 inch thickness and 147 gram weight – which honestly adds to the phone’s surprisingly stable ...

Remember the initial days of phablets? The days when Samsung first introduced the Galaxy Note and debate raged on as to what qualified as a tablet and what qualified as a smartphone? Since then, we’ve all become comfortable with that balance – even with the Note 2 introducing a 5.5 inch display. But it’s becoming ridiculous with the Byond Phablet PIII. There are many key design flaws in Byond’s latest nightmare, not the least being its all-round performance. However, it’s design with an emphasis on curved corners, a glossy front prone to scratches and dull back ...

We’ll admit: We were a bit confused when hearing about the iBall Andi 4.5h, since the last device we reviewed, the Andi 5c, was a phablet. But this is definitely a smartphone, without a doubt. What then differentiates the two, aside from the difference in screen sizes and prices? One look at the Andi 4.5h gives the impression of a sort of iPhone/HTC hybrid but its way more typical than that. Of course, it’s also of infinitely shabbier build, despite its average weight and thickness, but everything is held together well enough. Given its budget ...

Just Herbs is a relatively new entrant in the market but already they have carved a niche for themselves due to their exquisite line of pure, Ayurvedic beauty and spa essentials developed from plant-based ingredients and Indian precious herbs.

The ideal budget tablet always feels like a fleeting dream – but only if you live in India. The Google Nexus 7 and now the iPad Mini have showcased nothing but the highs of such devices, and even Amazon’s Kindle Fire HD has proven that it can wrap up the eBook reading market without many worries. It’s always seemed that the home-grown tablets have always had to compete with these behemoths, and while progress has been slow, it’s been steady. We never suspected HCL would be the one to finally tap the glass ceiling with its ME Tablet ...

Every manufacturer gets it wrong, sooner or later. Whether it be a lacklustre feature set or just an unappealing design, it’s not hard to foul up. But everyone has committed their fair share of sins, and one can’t simply point to a single company and label all their products terrible anymore. Windows 8 seems to be bringing out the best and the worst of manufacturers efforts with alarming alacrity, and though Toshiba might be the one who can’t seem to do right these days, that doesn’t mean efforts like the all-in-one HP Spectre One should go ...

Samsung continues to expand its Galaxy line-up, one niche addition at a time, as it seeks to capture the illusive mid-tier user. The Galaxy Express is only another in a long line of such phones, boasting a slim profile to go with the plastic construction and decidedly Galaxy S3-like looks. While we're good with just about anything that comes out of the offices from Samsung, does the Galaxy Express do enough to distinguish itself from the crowd? For that matter, how does it compare to similar devices in this price range, Samsung's own Rugby Pro which boasts a ...

Despite some well-embraced efforts from WickedLeak and ADCOM, and a new attempt by WishTel to deliver a display resolution higher than 800x480, most budget tablets will continue the trend of catering to the lowest common denominator. As such, we'll see dime a dozen tablets and evolution at a snail's pace but who cares when you can boast of a low price tag and the most basic features? Datawind, who invented the original budget tablet Aakash, tries its hand yet again with the Ubislate 7Ri, a 7 inch tablet at just under 4K that features the most rudimentary features ...

Asus has had a leg up in the ultrabook war with its Transformer-like VivoTab and the dual screen wielding Taichi. But these are still premium devices at the end of the day - what is the famed manufacturer doing when it comes to the "lower-end" ultrabook user? Companies like Acer and Dell have already responded quickly, releasing several touch-enabled ultrabooks with Windows 8 while Asus has set about creating a new line exclusively for this purpose: The VivoBook series. We've already had a look at the S200. How does the VivoBook S400CA measure up? Its design is fairly by the ...

Micromax's Superfone Canvas A100 was quite the surprise when we first had a look at it. For the past few months, we've been seeing the advent of budget phablets to go with the requisite smartphones and tablets but no one really seemed to "get it". The A100 reflected a clear mind-set and tried to offer infinitely more than such a budget would have allowed. The Superfone Canvas 2 A110 comes with its fair share of expectations, especially since Micromax has bumped up the specs a notch or two while still retaining the same price. The build is still ...

Pantene has recently introduced its new range of nature fusion. Combining the power of science with the goodness of nature. I know the shilpa shetty ads keep on popping up on every channel that we watch. So recently i bought just a trial sachet to try the shampoo. I have fine hair, so wanted to try if this would add the bounce to my hair and make it look voluminous. Let's see how it fares.

Product claim: Restores shine and fullness to hair upon the loss of volume and natural gloss through constant damage. Augmented with Cassia Complex, which ...

I seem to use a lot of vlcc products as they seem to work for me. I picked up their 3 day acne spot correcotr when i had developed a sudden bout of acne. I was very helpless so resorted to trying all acne products. This was the first one i picked up. I needed it to be sorted quickly as i had a function to attend. Lets see if this helped.

Product description:

Hair colouring in India is a trend that is still picking up. This is because most people are scared to do so because of the multiple myths about hair damage, due to hair colour that they hear from time to time. I've been colouring my hair for the last 15 years, and nothing scares me from continuing to do so. Reason being that if you are careful in choosing the hair colour by checking on its ingredients i.e. mainly no ammonia, then if you colour your hair the right way and take required care post colouring, you can ...

Lenovo has seen some pretty good success with its IdeaPad U series, and why not? The line is what ultrabooks aspire to be: Slim, lightweight, powerful and stylish looking. And while the competition turns up the heat with their line of ultrabooks, Lenovo is looking forward to its newest addition to the series, the IdeaPad U510. It still retains the borderline Macbook Pro look, with its silver shaded body and black keys. However, beneath that aluminum chassis beats a more powerful version of the ultrabook line as compared to the U410. Weighing 2.2 kg and measuring 0.83 inches ...

Lenovo's IdeaPad series is responsible for some nifty notebooks like the IdeaPad Z580, which features a pretty good assortment of technology at a decent price, and the IdeaPad U series. The latter is especially compelling because it's provided some amazing ultrabook performance with a good battery life and fitting form factor. We would assume that was the idea behind the IdeaPad S300, a different take on Lenovo's ultrabook standards. It's thicker and heftier, measuring 0.86 inches thick and weighing 1.8 kg respectively so it's tough to actually call it an ultrabook at all ...

As Dell has showcased with its XPS series, it's capable of releasing a varied range of devices. The XPS 15z is closer to the XPS 14 in design but it's packing a ton of power, and offers much more from the outset than the latter. Again, the XPS 15z looks almost identical to Apple's flagship portable computer. It matches it in design as well as construction, packing an aluminum-magnesium alloy that extends to the entire body. The device weighs about 2.6 kg and measures 0.91 inches in thickness, so it won't be winning any ...

No one can blame a manufacturer for upping the looks quotient on their devices. Look at the latest batch of Windows Phones. Would they have gotten anywhere if they looked even half as plain as most Android devices? Or Apple, for that matter, who's beautiful, industrial design, has made it one of the top companies worldwide. Where would Apple be without putting crafting its design philosophy that computers don’t have to be ugly, or all look like one another (which ironic since everyone own an iPhone/iPod now)? So when we look at the Vizio CA24T-A4 and its ...

If Acer can deliver a strong, compelling and elegant notebook with Windows 8 that doesn't bother with all the converting and transforming that various ultrabooks have showcased, then why not Sony? Despite the manufacturer delivering mixed results as of late, nows as good a time as ever to wipe the slate clean and start afresh. Thus the new Sony Vaio E17, which packs a beautiful, curvaceous black and white body. It's hefty at 3.18 kg and measuring at a maximum of 1.5 inches thick. Sony's exquisite build quality is in full force here, and the ...

LG sometimes gets its smartphones right, no matter how uncommon that phenomenon might be. Look at the LG Optimus G, a wonder of technology that packs a great screen with awesome technology and the elusive all-round feature set that makes for the best devices. And then it delivers some odd failures, like the LG Optimus 3D. The majority of its lineup is decent however, much the LG Venice. It's an Optimus-styled smartphone but with a sleeker exterior including a silver back panel and silvery edges. The construction is still plastic, making use of the curved corners and slab-like front ...

The Lenovo IdeaTab Lynx is on the budget end of the Windows 8 spectrum, shipping with the RT version of the OS (more on that later) and focusing more on a detachable keyboard dock over the transforming nature of high-end ultrabooks. The Lynx is actually quite fetching and sleek, boasting a good build quality. Without the dock the overall thickness of the tablet is about 0.37 inches, making it quite slim, while it weighs 658 grams on its own (1.3 kg with the dock). The dock locks in tightly enough into the system and helps give the overall ...

The amount of technology built to support Windows 8 is only rising, and it was only a matter of time till we saw an HP Envy device join the party. The HP Envy TouchSmart Ultrabook 4 doesn't really convert or transform into anything special. Its screen can't even be bent back the whole way. And at almost an inch thick and weighing 2.04 kg, it's not exactly an ultrabook either. But as a notebook touting Windows 8, it's an interesting option for those looking to get introduced to the experience for the first time. HP ...

For every step the Indian budget tablet industry as a whole takes forward, with recent efforts from WickedLeak and ADCOM standing out, there will always be one manufacturer who takes things nine steps backward. The BSNL Penta T-Pad WS703C is one such device. Yes, the very same BSNL designed this travesty of a device. It would be pertinent to note that it retails for about 7K while featuring 3G capability. However, considering you can get such functionality at half the price, and better technology at the same price, it's certainly in a very awkward position. The plain black front ...

Almost every device we can think of, even the lowest of line-ups for manufacturers like Samsung and Lenovo, are being outfitted with Windows 8. The Acer Aspire M5-481PT is another such device, looking to bring a mid-range ultrabook that can still deliver on functionality and performance while incorporating a touchscreen for Windows 8. The company is off to a good start with the design, which boasts a very sleek aluminum finish but weighs a meaty 2.1 kg despite the 0.81 inch thickness. This isn't a major problem since it comes with a good build but the overall ...

It's a new day, with another new convertible ultrabook packing Windows 8. And maybe companies are running out of new inventive ways to transform their devices, or Sony thought the Toshiba Satellite U925t had something going with its slider mechanism. Yes, the Vaio Duo 11 includes a touchscreen that you can slide out to reveal a keyboard. The design itself looks quite good but comes off slightly thick. The overall weight is about 1.3 kg - by no means an easy amount to wield in tablet mode. However, Sony's taken a bit of a different approach with the ...

Another day, another ultrabook, this one from Toshiba as they attempt to appeal to the budget consumer. It's been done to death but at least Toshiba are doing something we can get behind - unlike their recent spread of devices for executives and slider-happy folks. The Satellite U840-10V features a fetching streaked metal lid, with a plastic strip across the top. It measures 0.78 inches and weighs a healthy 1.58 kg, so it's obviously playing hard and fast with the "ultrabook" tag. The keyboard is backlit, which is probably the only nice thing about it as it ...

Judging whether a device will become a success in the increasingly perilous budget smartphone market - or just wallow away at the bottom of the heap - isn't easy. The Huawei Ascend G300 bested the likes of the Samsung's Galaxy Y but the latter still walked away with the sales. Now we have the Ascend G330, a bigger and slightly better version of the device that is beset from all sides by competition (Sony's Xperia and HTC's Desire devices, for starters). With a plastic shell, rubberized back and ho-hum design, it doesn't exactly offer a unique look ...

Khadi, for skincare- especially their range of soaps and facewashes, are products I usually swear by. In fact, I have moved on to Khadi from my otherwise preferred Body Shop. Though both are all-natural, I find khadi much friendlier to my pocket. Plus, they have generations backing them!

When you at displays these days, it's easy to get up in the hype. They're larger and slimmer than ever before with new features like LED technology and 3D. With the exception of 3D, it's fairly easy to find these new technologies for reasonable. And what better company to go for than LG, which is known for starting out in the home entertainment and appliances sector before it branched out into smartphones, computers and the like? The LG 47LS4600 tries to appeal to the LED demographic, and features a slim design with a 10.6 inch thickness ...

The Samsung Series 5 550P, referred to as the Series 5 Gamer, is a little less befitting its tag then the Series 7 iteration. Nonetheless, it is quite monstrous in its own right and comes at a time when gaming laptops are making resurgence in today's market with Asus, Maingear and Razer piling on the weight with every little spec bump. Overall, the Series 5 550P boasts a silver finish that’s as normal as it does fetching and the screen is even matted to prevent glare. At 1.22 inches thick and weighing 3 kg, it's quite ...

Unlike other Windows 8 machines, the Acer Aspire S7 is a regular ultrabook: It doesn't contain any means of converting into a tablet. Forget about the plastic or rubberized lids of other devices - the Aspire S7 can provide either an aluminum or Gorilla Glass lid, but the device itself is primarily aluminum. It's as lightweight at 1.3 kg as it is slim at 0.47 inches, and its impressive build quality and construction is even more astonishing since Acer has never attempted such a design before. While the keyboard seemingly offers a more sub-standard quality of keys ...

Before using the Dove Damage Therapy Nourishing Oil Care Vita Oil Serum, I had never used a serum/leave in conditioner in my life. Till date I don’t know what prompted me to buy it other than a feeling that since I am buying the shampoo, conditioner and repair mask from this range then why not the serum also. Today I thank that feeling. On days that I don’t have time to oil my hair or condition it during my bath or my hair feels kind of dry, this serum comes to my rescue. The instant nourishment that ...

Microsoft wasn't so much testing the Windows 8 tablet market as bringing its own alternative to the many power-hungry hybrids out there when it launched the Surface RT. Now, the gloves seem to be off, as not only will the Surface Pro allow for installing legacy apps that are lacking on the RT version of Windows 8, but it's packing a significant amount of power to take on any and all comers. This, of course, remains to be seen with the amount devices like the Dell XPS 12 and ASUS Vivo devices are packing. Firstly, the Surface Pro ...

The MAC Select Sheer Pressed Powder is super light, sheer and not at all chalky. It stays on the skin for over 6 hours of use keeping the skin looking fresh.

One doesn't simply hate budget tablets, and the new myZenTab 708BH from ZenFocus certainly isn't the kind of budget tablet that you hate. However, it's not part of the likeable crowd either, and given the over-crowded market these days with budget tablets, that doesn't bode well for its state. The design, despite claims from the manufacturer, is not fully made of metal but plastic all around, measuring a bulky 0.46 inches thick and weighing 347 grams. The Google Nexus 7, against which all budget tablets are measured and even the iPad Mini both exceed those ...

The Samsung Galaxy Camera is, for all intents and purposes, a camera. It features a 4.8 inch display and Android Jellybean, plus you can insert a micro-SIM. But it's a camera. In an age where the nature of optics either merges blissfully with the device in question (the Nokia Lumia 920) or threatens to overtake the device altogether (Nokia's 808 PureView), the Samsung Galaxy Camera has its priorities somewhat set. At its thickest, it measures 1.4 inches thick and weighs about 305 grams, so don't count on slipping it into your jeans pocket. The display ...

Some one at Huawei had a Eureka moment but the real world had enough to dilute it into a merely okay idea. The pricing and feature set, lacking a few basic things compared to the now-ample amount of competitors, ultimately kill the device. Sadly, this is one of the slower deaths since the Huawei MediaPad 10 had such potential. After introducing a 7-inch solution, the MediaPad 7 Lite, which compared quite nicely to Google's Nexus 7, Huawei took the plunge into full HD territory. It does so with an interesting design that features some of the most treacherous corners ...

Acer has been making waves this year with its Aspire line of notebooks and Windows 8 devices, but it's also interesting to note that they also make smartphones. Their last device was the Liquid MT, but the S500 CloudMobile looks far more interesting. Without skipping a beat, Acer is looking to release a smartphone to compete with the HTC One S and Galaxy S2 line of mid-tier devices. It's a gutsy move, but the company has the hardware and an interesting design to back it up. The top and bottom edges are curved, coupled with sharp corners and ...

We always associate mascara, lipstick, kohl with makeup but it’s about time when we get our basics right and a foundation will help in doing just that. For ages, women in our country have been either completely ignorant of foundation as the base for makeup or negligent of its capabilities to accentuate the features. They will get wooed and whine at those Vogue models but never made effort to really know what it is that really transforms the look! Luckily, with economy going bizarre for a while now, we have just about every brand that one can think of ...

We’ve already looked at the Asus Vivo TF810C, the more powerful of the Windows 8 hybrid line. However, casual consumers might want something cheaper, but still providing enough bang for their buck. Thus we have the Asus Vivo Tab RT or TF600, which varies from it’s older brother in screen size, resolution and operating system. The hybrid market is becoming quite crowded but if you need to look at tablets with sophisticated docks, Asus is always your best bet. The Vivo Tab RT features a very similar look to the Android-based Transformer line, but weighs 522 grams and ...

Pantech has always created devices with the notion of “toughness”, as we’ve seen with the water-resistant Pantech Element tablet. However, as is the trend these days, the manufacturer is looking to make a serious play for the premium smartphone market. And kudos to them for studying their technology beforehand, to make sure the new Pantech Flex has some of the best. Not only that, but Pantech has taken it upon itself to construct two separate interfaces to further increase accessibility to users. However, those charming aspects are greeted by one of the oddest designs you’ll find anywhere. A ...

When Karbonn unveiled its latest range of tablets, namely the Smart Tab 3 Blade and Smart Tab 9, we looked at the former and concluded that featured little to not improvement over its predecessors. It occurred to us that maybe it was a lesser version of the Smart Tab 9, and maybe the manufacturer had made some serious effort with its 9-inch display. Cast aside all those expectations: The Karbonn Smart Tab 9 is as disappointing an effort, perhaps more than the Smart Tab 3 Blade. While it features a better utilization of screen real estate and modified front, it ...

I’m going to review the Sony Xperia U. The phone was announced in February 2012 and was released in May 2012, as a part of the NXT series. It is priced around Rs 16000 in the market.

Moreover, the lower cap is replaceable and comes in many colors according to user’s choice. The phone stands at: 112 x ...

Many of the Indian manufacturers we look at have seen mixed success as of a late. While Micromax has struck upon something interesting with the A100 Superphone Canvas, it hasn’t had the best results with its tablets. Karbonn is more or less the same – they haven’t put out anything very worthy on the tablet side, but unlike Micromax, their smartphones seem to be getting more and more typical. Part of the reason could be the lack of any real difference in the devices. However, when you compare the Karbonn A11 to the A9, what is the point? How ...

It’s been raining good news for Motorola in the past year. From being relatively down and out, to reinvigorating its lineup with the Droid RAZR and then getting purchased by Google, it seems the company can only go up.

The first is the Droid RAZR HD, packing a strong display and stronger specs. And if you’re familiar with the Kevlar-backed, angular design – which curves slightly outward near the top ...

It’s not odd to see some smartphone manufacturers’ dive into the tablet market – just as it’s not too odd to see first-timers in the perpetual technology pool branch out into multiple directions. Huawei, known for its broadband routers, took the first steps towards smartphone development with its Ascend and G300 devices which, despite not lighting the market on fire, present very competent options for the masses. Now, they want to do budget tablets with the MediaPad 7 Lite. Although such devices aren’t a first for the company, how far can their efforts go when compared to the ...

Huawei has been trying to break into the smartphone market for a while now, even gaining a bit of a reputation with its Ascend series. The Ascend G300 has primarily gathered a good bit of attention, boasting a decent display and price point compared to some of the bigger players in the field like Sony. However, every manufacturer makes a blunder at some point, producing a follow-up that’s not quite the update it should be. Such is the case with the new Huawei Ascend 2. Pegged as an extremely low budget device, how hard does it fall?

Well, it ...

As they would say about events which undergo a turn for the bizarre: “Curiouser and curiouser”. How else could one explain HTC’s new Desire X? Granted, it was a given that it was coming but the Desire series sits a little different in the pecking order as compared to One series. When it comes to the Desire X, it’s reportedly supposed to sit below the HTC One V, but above the Desire C (ignore the Desire V/VC for a minute). Considering its mix of all the right ingredients, beating the One V means it becomes the best ...

One of the LG’s major problems as a smartphone manufacturer hasn’t been it’s flirtations with disastrous technology (like the LG Optimus 3D) or it’s inability to break through the premium glass ceiling (with the LG Optimus 4X HD). There just hasn’t been an unequivocal product, one that clearly stands up to the One Xs and Galaxy S3s of the world. This makes the LG Optimus G all the more potent. It’s unassuming and packed to the gills with powerful technology. But does it properly establish the LG Optimus identity, at last, as a device ...

Staying ahead in today’s smartphone market is no small task, not even for the established players. Apple’s iPhone5 is breaking benchmark records everywhere, Samsung has officially anointed the Galaxy Note 2 as a smartphone and power plays are happening every day, such as the new Windows 8 phones that are rolling out. Where does HTC stand with its signature One series? The manufacturer reinvented itself and struck blood this year to create one of the best premium devices in the market, the HTC One X. With innovation comes success, and with success comes renovation. The HTC One X ...

Try as they might, some tablet manufacturers just can’t seem to get the magic formula for producing a strong budget tablet. The standards have been more or less defined by the Google Nexus 7 and Amazon Kindle Fire HD, but it’s touching that some Indian manufacturers are still trying to compete. However, such is not the case with Zync. Its Z919 Tablet is an exercise in both frustration and confusion, packing both dated features and ill-implementation of the same. Don’t let it’s price or components fool you.

Looks-wise, the device isn’t aspiring to be anything ...

Today I’m going to review the Apple iPod Shuffle 4th Generation. The iPod is currently available in 2 GB internal storage space and is as tiny as ever.

Having siblings like the iPod Nano and iPod Touch, the iPod Shuffle still gets many buyers for the sole reason of being a budget friendly Apple product. Except for it’s size, the 4th generation is, in every way, better than the 3rd generation of iPod Shuffle.

Although the 3rd generation version bragged about being the smallest iPod and had no buttons at all on device, it seems the world wasn ...

The Maybelline Colossal Kajal is a product that everyone has been talking about ever since its launch in India. Women have been glued to kajal since time immemorial. Who would not want a kajal that provides bold strokes in jet black color and at the same time stays perfectly in place without smudging throughout the day? Addressing these needs of Indian women, the much-renowned brand Maybelline has come up with this unique product with tall claims that became an instant bestseller as soon as it launched in the market. Let us see how good this kajal is in reality.

While looking for a face scrub, it is always best to use samples and find the one perfect scrub for the face. It is important to keep in mind that a face scrub should always be mild, for any chemicals on the face are more harmful than beneficial. However, there are multiple options for suitable scrubs these days: scrubs that are good enough to substitute cleansers and toners. Sadly enough, this particular scrub is not one of those.

Quantity: 60 ml/150 ml

Product Claim: Removes dirt and opens clogged pores. Can be used on sensitive skin.

Ingredients: Cetyl Alcohol ...

Lenovo has been having significant success lately. In this highly competitive market, especially the Ultrabooks segment where it’s tough to find a strong combination of performance and budget, Lenovo has surged ahead with it’s Ideapad U series. However, that doesn’t mean it’s abandoned it’s traditional laptop line at all. This is the line which doesn’t push too hard on costs, but is still far from being the most mobile solution available. Regardless. the Lenovo Ideapad Z580 delivers strong performance for a veritably successful combination.

A silver streaked, metal lid adorns the Ideapad Z580. Lenovo ...

Yet another day, yet another budget tablet, as Zync releases the Z999 Plus on a rather suspecting consumer base. “Suspecting” because they’ve already released the Zync Z990 and it wasn’t exactly the crowning glory of the budget tablet market. But this addition features some buffed up features to justify a new model. It doesn’t have the tag of being the first Android ICS Indian tablet like it’s predecessor - can it hold things together with a stand-out performance?

It’s a given that we’ll be comparing all budget tablets to the Google Nexus 7 and Amazon ...

Samsung’s new Ativ line-up is interesting because it represents the company making serious strides from the outset to bring about quality Windows 8 devices. This was exemplified in the superb, Galaxy S3-esque Ativ S smartphone. But that’s not the big deal. There’s also the Ativ Tab, which will be one of the first Windows 8 tablets when it releases. Considering Microsoft made quite a lot of noise with it’s Surface Pro tablet, how does the Ativ Tab measure up?

The first thing we noticed is the more than average plastic feel. Lambast Samsung for this all ...

The Lumia 920 may be the flagship smartphone to carry the Windows Phone 8 OS, but it’s by no means the only device update that Nokia has up it’s sleeve. A forerunner needs a partner to cater to the market below, which is where the Nokia Lumia 820 comes in. It’s an update to the original 800, and borrows quite liberally from its bigger brother to craft a smartphone both powerful and portable. There’s no PureView here but the Lumia 820 gets along just fine.

When the Lumia 800 began the unibody design, it became iconic ...

Unlike most competitors, that are springing up out of the woodwork, Mercury has a bit of experience making tablets. But considering that both efforts of the mTab were losing ones, it doesn’t necessarily count. The manufacturer used to release devices without proper testing or calibration, simply to reach the market first. We now have the mTab NEO 2, and while this isn’t the case of being ahead of the competition, it’s still a losing effort that shows the worst of budget tablets.

Let’s start with the design. If you notice, the display seems to occupy the ...

You didn’t think HTC would be very far behind in bringing out a smartphone for Windows Phone 8 OS, did you? Featuring a very stellar new design from the manufacturer of the famed One series, the HTC Windows Phone 8S looks to be catering to the mid-range market of consumers. It’s powerful, sleek and features just right amount of premium design. As of now, the only competitor in this segment is the Nokia Lumia 820. How well does the 8S compete?

The design is certainly interesting. Putting a sleek, rectangular profile, with a prominent coloured bar at the ...

Leave it to Asus to go ahead and mark it’s territory in the Windows 8 tablet market, which hasn’t even been fully established yet. Much like it’s Transformer Pad, Asus is looking to showcase a Windows 8 tablet that not only functions as a standalone device but can dock with a keyboard for added functionality as a hybrid notebook. This is the Vivo Tab TF810C in a nutshell, and while Samsung’s Ativ Smart PC and Microsoft’s Surface Pro tablet may have their perks, Asus still puts up a pretty strong fight with its range’s ...

In a country like ours, we must pay extra attention to cleansers and products that remove all traces of the dirt we acquire on a daily basis. Whether its pollution or simply humidity: at the end of the day, the skin feels dead and sticky. That’s the reason a face wash just won’t do without a cleanser to go with it.

Price: Rs. 515 for 200ml

Product Claim: Oil-balancing, daily cleanses and softens the skin for a matte complexion.

Ingredients: Aqua, Sodium Hydroxide, Parfum, Alcohol

Directions for use: Apply in dots over the face and spread through circular ...

If you are not a fan of strong fragrances but are looking for something warm and effusive yet feminine, look no further than Jovan White Musk Perfumed Deodorant Spray for Women. I am thankful that I picked up this delightfully sensuous deodorant on one of my impulsive online shopping hauls. Let us focus on further details of the product so that you may decide whether this is the right kind of perfumed deodorant for you or not.

Product Description: Indulge into the world of fragrance with notes of White Musk. Unpredictable in spirit, pure in ...

You can count on Sony to introduce not one but two low-tier smartphones in it’s newest line of Xperia phones. While it’s not so much spoiling consumers for choice as bombarding them, the Xperia Miro is quite an interesting device. How much does it improve on its younger brother, and just how integral of an addition is it to the Xperia line? It may not be indispensable, but having more choice never hurts.

The NXT design by Sony is constantly undergoing changes, but each device carries the same profile. A no-frills front with the Sony logo above the ...

Look at the new Micromax Funbook Alpha P250. Does it significantly improve on the performance of it’s predecessor? Is it more than just a simple “learning” tool and now a legitimate talent? Is it worth the cheap price? Is it yet another example of manufacturers just not getting it right when it comes to budget tablets? Only one of those questions has a definitive yes, and it’s not the nice question.

At least Micromax did away with the perfunctory capacitative buttons but the resulting screen real estate doesn’t feel any different from devices like the Reliance 3G ...

Reviewing the new Apple iPhone 5 is a tricky path to walk on. After a less than a year’s since the reveal of the 4S, Apple took to retooling the device without sacrificing too much of it’s identity. But the controversy the device has been marred since its reveal on September 12th is amazing and some consumers have valid criticisms. In light of the Samsung Galaxy S3, HTC One X and a ton of other premier smartphones that have come out since, is the iPhone 5’s increased screen size its only crowning achievement?

Apple hasn’t taken ...

I have been using Patanjali products for over a year now and I am extremely satisfied with these herbal, effective and low-priced products. I would like to thank Baba Ramdev for introducing these fantastic products in the Indian market and I am sure all of you have tried at least one product from this brand. Today’s review focuses on the Patanjali Dant Kanti Dental Cream which I substituted for my regular toothpaste at my aunt’s advice. Read on to know more about it and whether it lives up to its promises or not.

Price: Rs.35 for 100g ...

What do you get when you combine Samsung’s Omnia series (and design) with the Galaxy S3 sensibilities, and feature the snazzy new Windows Phone 8 OS? Samsung’s Ativ S handset, and the above doesn’t come close to describing how beautiful it looks. We often spoke of manufacturers waiting for definitive Windows to arrive, so they could go all out and produce a device the OS deserved. Has Samsung come close to that? And how strongly does it compete with the Nokia Lumia 920, the current flagship juggernaut of Windows Phone 8?

As the design indicates, this is ...

It’s worthwhile to look at what the smaller companies are manufacturing in terms of smartphone technology. You never know when you’ll come across a genuine gem or something that shows potential. The Karbonn A7 smartphone feels like more of the latter than the former, but the curse of the budget Indian device still hangs over it’s head.

HTC’s One series is a success, but to hone that - without copying it outright - some manufacturers seem to be taking clues from the Desire. The Karbonn A7 is one of those devices, and it’s not necessarily a bad ...

If the combination of smartphones with Prada seems odd, LG doesn’t seem to think so. The manufacturer and world renowned designer have been trying to fuse high-quality phones with sleek, sexy designs since Apple released the iPhone. The new LG Prada 3.0 came out when there was no Samsung Galaxy S3 or HTC One X/S to compete against. While it doesn’t adhere to premium bracket so quickly - despite it’s awesome looks - could it still eke out a claim in the mid-range segment?

One look at the phone is all you need to know that it ...

It’s hard to put a finger on just what the next line of Sony Xperia NXT smartphones are trying to achieve. Certainly each Xperia in this new line-up seems to adhere to a different philosophy but the Xperia T’s is clear - to be “The Ultimate HD experience”. To that end, Sony presents a stronger showing for it’s dominance with a 13 megapixel camera and 4.6 inch HD display. Does it succeed as more than just a beautiful media machine though?

The design does feel like a combination of the best of both worlds. It’s curved ...

Whether we admit it or not, Huawei deserves credit. It went from being a simple broadband router manufacturer and took the leap into the smartphone market without overtly embarrassing itself. The Ascend series has it’s pluses, but lacks the all-around appeal and hype to help it compete with the Samsungs, Apples and HTCs. Then again, there’s a reason why their products can’t be outdone simply by investing more in marketing, and the Ascend G300 is tantamount to that fact.

Keep in mind that the Ascend G300 is a budget phone. It’s design says otherwise, imbuing some ...

Canon and Nikon are arguably the two titans of the photography world, but Canon isn’t content to just have a friendly rival. Its range of professional 1D cameras aims to dominate, marking wide-spread use in sports photography, independent (and now, even mid-range budget) films, and so much more. The Canon EOS 1D-X aims to be the crème of the crop, the “X” signifying 10 years since the first 1D was introduced. As Canon’s new flagship camera, does it measure and surpass our wildest expectations or temper them accordingly?

Design-wise, the EOS 1D-X can be looked at as ...

Skin blemishes, dark spots, pigmentation – probably most of us have faced at least one of these problems and we do not know what to do, specially if it is on our body. The answer to these problems has now arrived in the form of Medimix with Sandal and Eladi Oils Bathing Bar. Before we proceed into the review, let me tell you that Medimix is an Indian brand of ayurvedic/herbal soap manufactured and marketed by Cholayil, a Chennai based company.

Price: Rs.36 for 125g

Ingredients: Eladi Oil Constituents: Eladi Oil content in bathing bar is 0.2%. In ...

The craze for budget tablets can’t really heat up any more. The gold standard for such tablets is the Google Nexus 7 but Apple has announced that it will be showcasing a new iPad Mini to compete with the former. In between, there are literally dozens of manufacturers, especially in India, trying to grab a piece of the enormous population that can’t afford more expensive tablets. The Zen Ultratab A100 us such a tablet, but really, in the face of the best and the rest, does it leave a lasting impression at all?

It’s a given that ...

Archos isn’t the first word to come to mind when one considers tablets with attached keyboards. Would any tablet come to mind in that case? Apple’s iPad keyboards have had a fair bit of success – not to forget the Asus Transformer keyboards. But the Archos 101 XS builds its keyboard into the very design of the tablet. Do they form a strong mesh together or is it simply another low-key manufacturer with a gimmicky design?

The first answer could be “hardly”. Though the 101 XS packs a very unorthodox design, it’s more plastic than metal, the design ...

Let’s be honest: If you’re looking to buy a Blackberry with a QWERTY keypad, you’re not exactly demanding the greatest features. This has been established all throughout the RIM’s history of devices, as they emphasize a business outlook of security, communication and portability, along with their signature style. But really, the time has passed where flipping a Blackberry out in front of someone would elicit an impressed reaction. The Blackberry Curve 9320 is a special example, with its antiquated and low-key technology.

Though we’ve seen it several times before, a Blackberry’s look is still ...

HP’s Envy series is recognizable but not without its flaws. Being one of the manufacturer’s primary ultrabook lines, it’s only fitting that the new HP Envy 14 Spectre should take everything good about the series and improve it. “Improve” is an understatement though – HP has taken an interesting approach that gives the device its fair share of new features and a fetching design to match. It may not be the best of the best, but it’s definitely better than the rest.

To look at the Envy 14 Spectre’s design, one feels something akin to looking ...

Lenovo might always have hit-and-miss success with their tablets, but one thing they’ve proven themselves well is in the notebook market. Marketing their newest ultrabook, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon, you begin to wonder whether they might be losing their touch. The X1 Carbon looks very typically like any other ThinkPad, but then, Lenovo mixes excellent construction with powerful hardware to deliver what may very well be the best ThinkPad yet.

The ultrabook has the “Carbon tag r for a reason. As part of a new construction process, the device now has a resin-fibre laced structure to it. It ...

HTC Windows phones, much like their Android counterparts, have their own hierarchies. The entry level has been sealed thanks the HTC Radar, which combined good performance and all-around features with a stylish casing to compete with Nokia’s offering. On the other end, the high-end spectrum, there is the HTC Titan II. As a follow-up to the original, the Titan II purports to be the premium - which is odd, considering how little it changes from its previous iteration. Does it establish a new world order for HTC in the Windows Phone high-end market, or flounder as it’s little brother ...

In the mad race for identity in the Ultrabook segment, manufacturers have been attempting newer and newer hooks for their devices. So here we have the Toshiba Satellite U845W that attempts a much wider aspect ratio than the market norm. Most Ultrabooks have an aspect ratio of 16:9 (which translates to a 1600x900 resolution); the Satellite U845W, however, has an aspect ratio of 21:9. Is it enough to provide a whole new twist to a quickly crowded segment? Or is it one of those things that Toshiba was better off leaving alone?

To start with, when you have ...

We've seen Ultrabooks and notebooks from HP but the company seems to be surging ahead with its new Sleekbook series. Considering how the company still manages to keep its competitors at bay, the Sleekbook 6z is looking to accomplish a niche: Balancing power with light weight design and price. How well it achieves that purpose, we’ll soon find out.

Weighing 4.75 pounds with a 0.96 inch thickness, the Sleekbook 6z isn’t looking to wait any fitness awards. Nonetheless it’s quite well made and very attractive, with an overall clean design and strong build. The ...

Despite the hullabaloo over Windows phones, they’re still very much an entity in today’s market. Thanks Nokia and Microsoft with the Lumia series, other manufacturers have begun to offer their own take on Windows phones. Does the Samsung Focus 2 live up to the pedigree set by it’s Android cousins?

Any one who’s used a Galaxy phone will know about the predominantly plastic feel. A personal preference to be sure, but it doesn’t compare to the exquisite feel of a Lumia. That being said, it’s quite light at 122 grams with a 0.5 ...

HTC’s One series has made waves since it’s release. One would think the new Desire series seems superfluous. Hasn’t the One V endeared itself to every single budgetary concern? That being said, it’s Wildfire series has catered well to a market that prefers the Samsung Galaxy Y. Why not provide a powerful revision to the same with the Desire C?

The design caters well the standards set by the One series. Measuring 0.48 inches in thickness and weighing a measly 100 grams, it’s easy to handle. The rubberized back helps in gripping the device ...

Acer plows onwards with its laptop line. It’s been having generally good degrees of success with its new Iconia range of tablets – can the Aspire S5 achieve a similar effect in the Ultrabook segment? Especially with such a high price tag?

To make things clear, Acer has introduced a brand new feature with the Aspire S5. One that allowed the manufacturer to lay claim to being the “thinnest Ultrabook”: MagicFlip, a motorized port cover of two USBs, a Thunderbolt and HDMI slots. You press a button to activate it, and the port will emerge, raising the device slightly. Immediately ...

LG is only one of the companies to be playing catch up to Samsung and HTC. However, one can’t deny their tenacity: Taking seemingly some of the best aspects of the devices and cramming it into the LG Optimus 4X HD. However, the One X and Galaxy S3 are amazing because they are more than the sum of their parts. Does the Optimus 4X HD do as well?

The design is all angular and curt, as expected from LG. Which isn’t bad, since it immediately gives the Optimus 4X HD a striking and clean-cut appearance. It won’t ...

Gaming laptops are often associated with Alienware. However, since being purchased by Dell, it’s just never been the same. As far gaming laptops go, one always looks for the right amount of portability to match the power at hand. It may seem odd, but Clevo’s W110ER, which has been customized by Maingear for selling and now goes by the name Pulse 11, offer that alternative.

Now, it should be noted that the Maingear Pulse 11 is that it’s small. Yes, it’s only 3.77 pounds, though the thickness can go up to 1.46 inches. And ...

Given any amount of time, technology will advance to a point where the previously extraordinary is now becoming the all too common. We’re currently on the cusp of that advancement, with quad-core, 1920x1200 resolution tablets now rolling into market. Acer made a big comeback with the Iconia Tab A510, and seems poised to capitalize with the A700. Make no mistake, this is an incredible tablet currently. When measured against the competition, it stands proud but not necessarily as tall.

Looks-wise, this is the same Iconia Tab we know and have grown to appreciate, if not love. It’s slightly ...

With the hot and sweltering weather throughout the year, we Indians never seem to be at peace. The scorching sun makes it mandatory for us to apply a sunscreen/sunblock when we step out of the house. But did you know that sun protection should not be skipped even on cloudy days? The sun is truly the culprit behind many of us developing sunspots, pigmentation, wrinkles and fine lines at a young age. Therefore, if you do not want all these skin problems; invest in a good sunblock that offers broad spectrum sun protection. The Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock ...

Rose water has a variety of uses. In the first place, if you are looking for a natural toner for your skin, your search should end with rose water. As a natural astringent, rose water acts on your pores and tightens them and also effectively cleanses all traces of oil, dirt and grime from your skin. It helps to retain the natural youth and beauty of your skin, keeping wrinkles at bay. It can cure a number of skin problems as well. Many of us mix rose water in face packs too to make them more effective. Since Dabur Gulabari ...

Any Indian mobile manufacturer that truly wants success knows well enough what to do. And that’s targeting the overwhelming majority for whom smartphones are unreachable luxuries, foreign in their appeal but expensive. Such is the, ahem, idea of the Idea Smartphone Id 918. One would deign it unnecessary to compare this device to real smartphones. But then, in this range, it’s hard to call Idea’s latest device a steal.

Calling the Idea Id 918 conservative in design is an understatement. It's circular,clam-like design is stands out, and it's quite lightweight. However, perhaps the most ...

As recently outlined, Indian-based manufacturer WickedIdea’s Wammy 7 isn’t the best budget tablet on the market. In fact, it’s really not much of anything, save for it’s ability to run Ice Cream Sandwich and it’s low price point. Nonetheless, WickedIdea isn’t finished yet, as it’s decided to launch an update, the Wammy Plus 3G. Quite a bit has changed this time around, as WickedIdea decided to revamp the design and add 3G support. The price tag has been upped by nearly 6K, so is it worth the added features?

First the new design ...

Say what you will about Samsung, but when it comes to stepping things up, they go all in. The Samsung Galaxy S3, for example, along with the Galaxy Tab 10.1, which was a serious upgrade to its predecessor. So when the Galaxy Tab 2 came along, many expected it to match the new iPad and its stunning Retinal Display. However, the top-of-the-line Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 we were all looking forward to isn’t everything we expected.

In fact, it’s the original Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 in terms of specs and hardware. The processor, the RAM ...

Tea tree oil is widely used in skin care products due to its curative and healing properties. It is especially effective in solving acne problems. It has antiseptic, antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal properties. It also helps in case of certain skin infections and is even added to shampoos as it can get rid of dandruff and an itchy scalp. There are few face washes in the market that contain tea tree oil. The Fabindia Tea Tree Face Wash is one such product that is specially formulated for oily skin.

Price: Rs.165 for 120 ml

Ingredients: Purified Water, Sodium Lauryl ...

LG's Optimus line of phones is left somehow floating in a sea of obscurity. They're there, but they haven't smashed through the public perception like Samsung or HTC have. That doesn’t stop them from competing with the big boys as is. A Samsung Galaxy S3 competitor is on it’s way with the Optimus 4X HD. However, for the mid-range, there’s the new Optimus L7.

Style-wise, the Optimus L7 proposes a highly rectangular and angled design. It’s not revolutionary, and not even that visually appealing but feels quite solid. This is reinforced by the ...

Himalaya is one of the leading health care brands in India which certainly needs no introduction. Himalaya possesses a range of safe, natural and effective products that combines the best of Ayurvedic remedies with years of scientific research to help people lead healthier lives, by getting rid of all health concerns. Often we suffer from joint pain, injuries to tissues, spondylosis, lower back pain, muscular pain, pain in the knees etc. Himalaya Rumalaya Gel is an effective multi-action topical application which gives fast relief from pain. Being a completely herbal Ayurvedic formulation it has no side effects.

Price: Rs.50 ...

Himalaya has achieved new heights of excellence by launching its impressive range of skin and hair care products which contain 100% herbal actives. You would find tons of brands in the market, even those selling herbal products, but how herbal they are is a big question. Therefore, if you are on the lookout for genuine herbal products, you can trust Himalaya since it is a reputed company which has made its presence felt all over the globe since its inception in 1930.

Today’s review focuses on the Himalaya Nourishing Skin Cream which is quite decently priced and therefore within ...

I travel by bike everyday to office and my skin had turned troublesome. Dull,dirty and splotchy because of the pollution. I was on the lookout for a nice scrub,since I heard scrubs remove dead skin cells,dull skin etc. This scrub from the Himalaya brand hit my eye. A gentle exfoliating scrub with apricot. I immediately got it. It is priced at Rs.65/- for 50 gm pack. The packaging is quite similar to the other Himalaya products like the Face washes etc. The pricing is also OK for the quantity. It promises to “Remove dead skin cells ...

I have been in the lookout for a day cream for quite some time now. My requirements were simple. To not overly dry my skin yet give it a matte non-oily finish. I saw this new product in the supermarket aisle, Gokul Sandiva Fairness Cream. Gokul santol talcum powder is a household name in many families down south with its distinctive perfume. This cream is a new launch from the company.
The cream is attractively priced at 41 rupees for a 25 gram pack. The Packaging is also quite good.

The Cream's main ingredients are Real sandalwood,Milk protein ...

The Nokia Xpress Music series of phones was meant to compete with Apple and Sony Ericcson in the MP3 playback market. The line has since been phased out by the X-Series, but remains recognizable for music lovers. The Xpress Music 5130 is supposed to be the budget option, but this doesn’t always equal amazing quality.

The 5130’s glossy design is very similar to the 5310. It’s slightly thicker at 0.58 inches but lightweight at 88 grams. This ensures easy listening on the go, as the phone accommodates most pockets easily. The keypad, on the other hand ...

RIM’s Blackberry series needs no introduction at this point, but the Blackberry 9000 (also known as the Bold) comes with it’s own baggage. The effect of several delays dulled the otherwise evolutionary changes it was supposed to bring to the line. It won’t be beating the iPhone 4S in terms of performance, but it certainly holds it’s own in the business section of the smartphone market.

The first thing you notice – aside from the piano-black finish – is how bulky the Bold feels. It’s a hefty 136 grams but about 0.55 inches thick. The curved ...

In the wake of the Galaxy S Advance and Galaxy Pocket, there exists another Samsung smart phone under the radar. Known as the Galaxy S Blaze 4G, it could easily be the souped-up version of the Galaxy S2. A trend has begun where last year's premium tech is this year's mid-tier. The Blaze 4G continues this tradition admirably, with some small shortcomings.

The Galaxy S Blaze 4G encapsulates Samsung's design philosophy. Its rounded corners and sharp screen edges are topped with an interesting metallic finish near the camera. The device measures 0/43 inches in thickness and ...

A while ago, most of the talk concerning Windows phones was centered on Nokia and it's partnership with Microsoft. However, Samsung, better known for it's Android line of phones, isn't one to ignore a potential market. Their Omnia series is better known for employing Windows as an interface, as is the case with the Omnia W and Mango. Does it measure up to the standards set by Nokia's Lumia?

Like the Galaxy S2 line, the Omnia W employs a more plastic feel than the metallic chassis of the Lumia. It's a given that if you ...

Despite mixed results with it's smart phone line – and imminent success with it's Xoom tablets – Motorola continues to soldier on. After their wonderful Droid RAZR, we now have the Motorola Atrix 2. Built as a mid-tier effort for combating HTC's One S, does it's performance belay it's bulky looks?

The device weighs a slightly husky 147 grams and is 0.41 inches thick. Not that this is a terrible thing, considering the build quality. A slightly rubbery back helps in handle on the phone, and you rest assured of the chrome finish. Corning Gorilla Glass ...

Is it plausible to enter a market one has little to no stake in? If that market is smartphones, and you're Samsung, that question is irrelevant. Be it entry-level devices like the Galaxy Pocket to hybrids like the Galaxy Note, Samsung has a finger in every proverbial pie. Except, of course, for the business executives who rely on their BBM, spreadsheets and mail syncs to get them through the day. Which is exactly what the Galaxy Y Pro Duos seemingly caters to.

“Seemingly” because the overall identity of the device is in question. It features a QWERTY keypad and ...

Apple has returned with a new iPad update, but it’s not the iPad 3 everyone has been anticipating. It’s more or less referred to as the “new iPad”, but is there anything really new about it? Has Apple taken it upon itself to introduce a brand new, revolutionary device? Or is this new iPad the very best that one can buy? That would depend on what you’re looking for.

Appearance-wise, not much has changed about the iPad. It feels stronger, which given the increased thickness at 0.37 inches and heftier weight at 652 grams should be ...

RIM has come out with a new Blackberry phone for the masses. While this may be stating the obvious, it's interesting how it's being marketed. The Blackberry Curve 9220 has a low-end camera and display, besides the lack of 3G. The basic aim seems to be creating a next-generation Blackberry for those interested solely in business and BBM. While it worked several years ago on older models, BBM faces competition from several apps that can do the same thing for less.

This is still the same Blackberry design we've all come to know and probably love. It ...

Nokia’s Lumia 800 series presents its first full blown effort to compete with the likes of Samsung and Apple. However, last year, the N8 was touted as the next step for Nokia. It’s not as ideal as an Android or iOS device, but still has a nice group of features.

The Nokia N8 has a wider design than we’re used to seeing. The overall metallic sheen looks good though the 0.51 inch thickness and 135 gram weight make it a bit bulkier than the competition. It’ll still fit comfortably in your hand (and most pockets ...

If Apple has continually proved one thing with it’s hardware, it’s that it knows how break new ground. On the laptop side of things, we have the ultraportable Macbook Air which currently holds the record for the world’s thinnest computer. Previous iterations faced criticism for their overall performance and battery life, but Apple’s 2011 design provides the best Macbook Air yet.

Design-wise, the Macbook Air is a thing of beauty. Words don’t do justice to that feeling you get upon looking at it the first time. It’s encased in a pure, off-white shade set ...

Nokia continues to roll out its budget handsets with the Nokia X2. As a less expensive option to the Nokia X3-02 Touch and Type, the device offers many features while still retaining ease-of-use. Granted, it's not the most luxurious phone in the market but as far as non-touch screen phones go, it offers decent performance at an affordable price.

It’s obvious that Nokia wanted to go for a no-frills design when it came to the X2. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, since it brings most of the features up front and center for users to easily ...

Karbonn's new Smart Tab 1 and the IPL seem to have become synonymous – what with the frequency of advertising going on for the new budget tablet. Due to release in a matter of days at a retail price of Rs. 6999, the Smart Tab 1 is clearly aimed at the average Indian user. It finds equal company with Micromax's Fun Book tablet. However, while the latter is focussed more on education, the Smart Tab 1 claims to lend itself well to gaming.

Whether you subscribe to this notion or not depends on what you're looking for in ...

The Toshiba Satellite Z830-10U is the company’s latest entrant in the venerable ultrabook market. Looking to compete with such the Macbook Air in slimness and functionality, the Satellite balances sophisticated design with above average performance and battery life.

Design-wise, just looking at the Satellite Z830-10U evokes a feeling of pride and joy. Toshiba used a silver-streaked shade on top of an aluminum finish, similar to what we’ve seen in the Dell XPS 15z. However here, it’s slightly more muted, lending a subtlety to the beauty. It may not be very curvaceous, but the strictness to the edges ...

The Google CR-48 was first developed as a prototype for Chrome OS. If you didn’t know, it’s Google’s take on the typical OS framework. The prototype “Chromebooks” were subsequently shipped to several reviewers and testers for simple testing in 2010. With the feedback received, Google tied up with manufacturers like Acer and Samsung to bring out Chromebook models aimed at the public.

We’ll be looking at the Samsung Series 5 Chromebook in this review. The size of the device is apparent and more in the league of notebooks than netbooks. It features a plain white lid ...

What more needs to be said about the iPhone 4? Its release in Summer 2010 was preceded by immense hype and anticipation, much of it spread by Apple founder Steve Jobs. Almost two years later, Jobs has passed and several new players have emerged in the smart phone market. This doesn’t include the iPhone 3GS and 4S. Does this revolutionary device still pack enough punch to hold it’s own?

Aesthetically, the iPhone 4 is still a marvel to behold. It’s composed of two sheets of chemically treated glass (boasted to be tougher than the iPhone 3’s ...

Kajal accentuates the beauty of a woman by highlighting and making her eyes appear more prominent. Most women do not step out of the house without applying their favorite kajal or kohl pencil to enhance the beauty and look of their eyes. Some even carry it in their purse for reapplication. Now there are so many brands of kajal available in the market that it becomes to difficult to make a choice. Therefore we mostly have to depend on the recommendations of friends or expert product reviews to choose a brand. This review focuses on the VLCC Kajal, one of ...

RIM recently entered the touchscreen phone market, but at a time, it succeeded more with the traditional QWERTY keypad. The more rudimentary business features take importance with the Blackberry Curve 8310. It hardly stands up to today’s smartphones, but the Curve 8310 offers a nice retro option for those who need a cheap executive phone.

The Blackberry Curve 8310 sports a metallic silver design, with specially marked buttons for the numpad and sleek black sides. It’s about 0.61 inches thick and weighs about 111 grams. The QWERTY keypad is stellar with well-spaced keys that make it a ...

Dell systems have always held the public eye. Even as tougher competitors like Apple and Asus came up, the company has always attempted to renovate to it's customers' needs. The XPS line represents that attempt. It has a few kinks, but it still comes highly recommended.

We'll be looking at the latest and so-called "slimmest" of the line, the Dell XPS 15z. It's important to note that Dell wants to compete with Apple's Macbook Pro. One look at the 5.54 pound device and you'll agree. From the cool, metal exterior that mixes aluminium and ...

At one point in time, Sony was considered the technology leader of the world. They'd created almost everything, from the Walkman to the Playstation Vita. When Apple rolled out its iPod and iPhone, Sony found itself bulldozed by the former and facing stiff competition from the latter. Now with Tablet S on the market, will it achieve redemption?

The device's design is a welcome departure from the usual rectangular tablet. One side is bulkier, tapering off towards the opposite side, similar to a magazine folded open. This provides a firm grasp of the tablet, and elevates it slightly ...

The Nokia Lumia 800 wasn’t a failure by any means, but it was certainly fairly underwhelming. It seemed like Nokia and Microsoft were promising us a future that hadn’t yet arrived. This is a future where Windows phones could apparently stand on equal ground with the Android and iOS devices of the world. The new Nokia Lumia 900, despite similarities, brings much promise with it.

Design-wise, it’s easy to compare the Lumia 900 to the 800. It feels a tad tougher and worn, though. The screen slightly bulges out compared to the oh-so smooth melding of the ...

Nokia’s new budget phone, the Asha 303, is exactly what you’d expect from a device targeted at low-end users. It’s extremely affordable and while it doesn’t go out of it’s way to impress, a few unexpected and interesting features await.

The design is quite fetching and compact despite sporting a QWERTY keypad. It contains a metal finish on the back, and is available in red, black, grey and green. The keypad is fixed and immobile – no sliding in and out. Not that this is a bad thing, but it would have been nice if there ...

After establishing itself as one of the leaders in the healthcare industry Himalaya has come up with their brand new range of skin care products, targeting all ages and skin types. For those with oily skin, choosing the right face wash often becomes a problem because some face washes for oily skin tend to dry out the skin too much, resulting in it feeling stretched and uncomfortable. That problem is completely eliminated with Himalaya’s Neem Foaming Face Wash which this review will deal with. Probably one of the most innovative face washes in the market, Himalaya has come up ...

Yardley of London is a fresher in the Indian market, out to capture the hearts of women with their exotic range of soaps, fragrances (eau du toilette), body sprays and talc. My interest in Yardley grew after watching their advertisement on television featuring the beautiful Katrina Kaif. Having always experimented with new brands in the market, Yardley soaps aroused my curiosity.
This is a review of the Yardley English Lavender Bar Soap that I have been using since a month or so. Yardley has been manufacturing soaps since 1770 which shows that it has a rich tradition. There are 5 ...

The Nokia Lumia 800 boasts itself to be “easier, faster and funner”. As the successor to Nokia’s N9, it certainly has much to prove. Also, given the hype surrounding the device (due to Nokia’s newfound association to Microsoft), Nokia has its hands full making a dent in the smart phone market.

Its look will immediately draw you in. The 800x480 AMOLED display uses the same technology as Samsung’s Galaxy Note. Right off the bat, the phone shows off its “clear blacks”, detailed contrast and rich colours. However, Nokia went with a lesser model of AMOLED. The kind ...

As Nivea’s tagline goes “100 Years Skincare for Life”, it has unveiled its newest collection of Lip care termed the Fruity Shine range.

I was actively seeking a lip balm which would nourish my lips and at the ...

Lenovo’s Ideapad series tries to offer something for every user, be it light, compact netbooks or ones geared towards HD. The Ideapad Z-series, specifically the Z570, shows promise in both power and affordability. Can it outdo Lenovo’s own Thinkpad X220?

It’s already beating it in terms of looks. The Thinkpad Z570 has a smooth metallic lid with a faint purplish-silver hue that looks very sleek. The main design is predominantly of plastic but at 5.7 pounds, it’s sturdy enough to hold it’s own. The keyboard is Chiclet design with a numpad. You’re ensured ...

That oily skin does not need to be moisturized is a myth that still exists in the minds of many. No matter how much oily the skin may be and even if it is acne-prone, we need to hydrate our skin or else more sebum (oil) will be produced by the skin to compensate for the lost moisture, thus causing further trouble.

Finding the perfect moisturizer for oily and acne-prone skin was really a tough job till I came across the Sebamed Clear Face Care Gel. Prior to that every moisturizer I used made my skin greasy and oily after ...

After the excellently designed CloudMobile S500, one could wonder why Acer would want to go lower. Given the explosion of budget devices from big-name manufacturers like Samsung, competing with the likes of Karbonn and Micromax, it only makes sense. Hence, the recent introduction of the Acer Liquid Z2 and Liquid E1 smartphones, of which the latter is the more powerful.

Acer still tries to achieve more with its design than the typical smartphone manufacturer, and this shows in the Liquid E1. It’s sturdily built, with an oval like design and plastic back panel with grooves that help provide a ...

You can call baby wipes as the modern invention but they are essential for toddler care. Dry and harsh cloth are known to cause skin rash/irritation which can further the dry the skin.

Introducing a new commercial OS is always a risky proposition especially in the smartphone market where the two biggest competitors are iOS and Android. Windows Phone 8 has begun breaking through but is still in last place. So we come to the ZTE Open and Firefox OS. It’s foolish to assume that it will be taking on bigger competition, because it’s just not made for that purpose.

One look at the overall budget design of the Open confirms that. With a unibody shell that protrudes out into a prominent chin, rubbery back panel and single Home button a ...

Lenovo continues to try to make an impact in the smartphone market with the IdeaPhone P700i. The one problem the manufacturer has always faced is that it’s an ultrabook/PC company first – smartphones and tablets just haven’t fit into its portfolio as well as, say, Samsung or Asus or Apple.

The P700i certainly doesn’t gel well in the design department as those other devices do, featuring a plain black finish, with curved corners and a textured back panel. It gives the impression of numerous Indian budget handsets before it, which isn’t the best thing when the ...

In keeping with its current success strategy with the LG Optimus G, the manufacturer is looking to introduce a new mid-range series of Optimus devices that fall between the budget L series and premium G series. One of the results is the LG Optimus F5, carrying forth the same design philosophy while establishing a new pecking order in terms of performance.

The recessed screen and raised edges along with the clean front finish define the F5, but it’s also thicker than its bigger brother, the Optimus F7, and pretty weighty on its own. Not that this is a big ...

The PlayStation 4 isn’t the only device that Sony is looking to introduce the future with. The new Sony Xperia Z and ZL models are the manufacturer’s foray into the 1080p premium smartphone era, where 5-inch displays are standard. Honestly, with the Xperia Z’s price, design and the features it’s touting, one would expect the big beautiful Xperia Z to reinvent the wheel. But it doesn’t. Not quite.

Talking about the design, the piano-black finish is nothing but gloss, front and black, as Sony has done away with a lot of the sharp edges and ...

The Nokia Asha 205 feels like an evolution over the old E63 line, but bringing in the benefits of new apps and evolutions in the antiquated Series 40 OS. It features some old features like the QWERTY keypad and some news ones, like the dedicated Facebook button. Nokia took a bit of a different route with the keys compared to the Nokia Asha 206 (or simply, the Nokia 206), as each one is an individual button (think the chiclet keys seen on notebooks) rather than a single mesh. This allows for a good typing response and pretty fast travel. And ...

As part of the new ultra-budget range series of smartphones, the Samsung Rex 60 represents the absolute bottom of the barrel. It competes directly with the Nokia Asha 206 (or simply, the Nokia 206). While presenting an old school design, with its curved corners, silver edged linings and physical buttons, it tries to cram every possible function of Android on to its small screen. The benefit of having the OS on such a compact and low-priced device is appealing, but day to day functionality isn’t what it could be. Build quality is decent, as to be expected from Samsung ...

Does the Nokia Lumia 505 make sense in today’s market? This is due more to the rampant nature of Windows Phone 8 smartphones than any real slight against the device, which features Windows Phone 7.8. Otherwise, it’s a fairly typical budget device but packing Windows, coming just below the Lumia 610 but promising far less the Lumia 620. With that in mind, is it still worth a look in this era? At about 0.45 inches and weighing 131 grams, the device is quite hefty and thick on its town, but this is backed up by a ...

There are budget smartphones, ultra-budgeted smartphones and then there is the Samsung Rex series. While the HTC Desire C, Sony Xperia Tipo and Pantech Element all cater to the smartphone user wanting that inherent Android experience but at far less the cost, the Rex 80 is Samsung’s competitor to the Nokia 206. And while it won’t be winning awards for its specifications or form factor, that it can run Jelly Bean at all for its price and size is impressive. Measuring a bulky 0.45 inches, the device brings to mind the Galaxy Ace’s silver edged, bezel ...

Despite some brilliant budget smartphones, Huawei just hasn’t been able to rustle up some great premium offerings. The Ascend D1 Quad XL lost out in the shuffle of handsets, such as HTC’s Butterfly/Droid DNA, being introduced. With the Huawei Ascend D2 packing enough technology to properly compete with efforts from HTC and even Sony, will we the manufacturer finally break through the glass ceiling? Design-wise, the Ascend D2 is less curved corners and more rigid with a glossy back panel, metal frame and strong aluminum body. The portability suffers as a result with the D2 measuring 170 ...

Not many people know this, but before the Google Nexus 7 there was the Asus Memo 370T. It featured nearly identical features to the former, but with greater internal storage – and it’s not surprise that the Nexus 7 launched for a lower price. Now, Asus is back with an even cheaper Memo Pad 172V, which purports to deliver strong Jelly Bean performance. At first look, the Nexus influence – or rather, the aesthetic that Asus chose for the Nexus is plainly visible. That doesn’t diminish its appeal or build quality, and though somewhat thick at 0.44 inches and ...

The XPS series isn't the only line-up has going for it and in fact, its Latitude series of notebooks were the default choice for anyone who wanted a Dell portable device. Of course, it was aimed at business users but that doesn't mean it wasn't fit for different kinds of users. As the amount of distinction increased, Dell was able to stick to a purely business-oriented device but still give it an ultrabook's dimensions, as with the Latitude 6430u. Despite packing Windows 8, the machine features no frills to draw attention away from its main purpose ...

While there’s plenty of normal, tower PCs available for a great price, all-in-one PCs are hitting their stride in today’s market by combining high performance with a sleek design. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that Windows 8 is justifying the use of such large displays with a predominantly touch based interface. The HP Envy 23 is another, in a long line of solutions from the manufacturer to stamp to its influence on the market much like Dell and Asus have done with the XPS One 27 and ENTI systems respectively. Sadly, in terms of the design, the ...

Nowadays, Dell is either promoting a new convertible, the new name for hybrids which can switch between tablet form and ultrabook form, or new ultrabook with Windows 8. The Dell Latitude 10 should be a bit of a sobering experience – unlike the Dell XPS 10, which is primarily a tablet with a dockable keyboard, the Latitude 10 is a singular device. Weighing 667 grams and measuring 0.41 inches thick, it’s pretty easy to handle despite the wide profile. There’s a fair amount of rubber on the back and sides which helps in handling the device. Interestingly, Dell ...

Just when we thought Lava’s XOLO line would be made irrelevant in the absence of the Intel CPUs, along comes with the XOLO A1000 to show that the company still has some fight left in it. Made to compete with the Micromax A116 Canvas HD and Samsung Galaxy Grand, it’s a 5-inch smartphone (or budget phablet, if it’s that big for you) with a 720p display. Does it match up to either of the two in performance terms? Its design still relies on a fairly rectangular design, with rounded corners and almost impossibly enough, it’s only ...

Avon Naturals Lip Balms are one of the most popular products from Avon in India. Though these have been around for long, I had not thought of trying these out till now when I got the Avon catalogue for this month from a friend. I have already stocked up on tinted lip balms which I use for daily wear. But I thought of buying a non tinted lip balm for application on my normally dry lips while at home and also for wearing beneath my lipstick. Thus, I ended up with purchasing the Green Tea variant from this range. So ...

Lenovo is on better footing with their tablets before, thanks to Windows 8. However, most of those tablets rely on a convertible principle that makes them more like portable ultrabooks. So here we have the Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 2, and though it supports the standard docking options, it is a tablet first and foremost. Considering the revamp taking place – the original ThinkPad Tablet went for Android – it’d be interesting to see how Lenovo tackles the Windows 8 experience. Design wise, the ThinkPad Tablet 2 is on decent footing with nice rounded corners and a strong, albeit plastic, build. It ...
