Below the charging port, an LED indicator can be found. The bottom of the charging case is a little flat so that it may stand upright on a flat surface. You can see that the earphones are securely put into their assigned slots marked left and right when you lift the case’s cover. To keep the earbuds in place, the casing has built-in magnets.

The Noise Buds X have a good in ear-canal fit, long stems that extend downward, and a flat, touch-sensitive surface that is silver in colour with the company logo imprinted on it. Black and White are the only two colour choices for the TWS. Black would be a better option in our opinion since the White model we have for the review can attract smudges and fingerprints. The earbuds are incredibly light and comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. Three extra sets of the replaceable silicone ear tips that come with the earbuds are supplied.
You can select between tunes, accept or decline voice calls, and activate the voice assistant with the sensitive touch sensors in both earbuds. You can use the device anywhere, including in the gym or when exercising in the rain, because it has an IPX5 classification that provides resistance against water splashes.
The Noise Buds X’s 12mm dynamic drivers support the SBC/AAC codec, resulting in distortion-free audio. The listening experience is wonderful throughout. Additionally, the loudness is perfectly balanced, neither being too high nor too low. The snug fit offers excellent noise cancellation while talking on a phone or listening to music.
We tested them outdoors and found that the ANC on these does a wonderful job of totally cancelling out the noise by 90 to 95 percent. The transparency mode is also very effective.
The TWS earphone has a maximum operating range of 10 metres and supports Bluetooth 5.3 connection, A2DP, HFP, HSP, and AVRCP profiles. The connection to your associated smartphone or other device simply takes a few seconds. It’s fantastic that the earbuds work with both Android and iOS devices.
The audio was crystal clear on both ends, so we also had no trouble receiving calls. Additionally, they support Siri and Google Assistant, which enables you to answer or decline calls, switch between songs, pause a song, and even control the volume all without using your hands.
We tested these to see if they are suitable for gaming even though they are not specifically designed as earbuds for gaming. Unfortunately, due to latency problems, these are not suitable for gaming. When playing demanding titles like Call of Duty, there would be a lot of audio lag. But in light gaming, there are no significant latency issues.

Depending on ANC, the device can run for five to seven hours. When ANC is activated, battery life is compromised. When ANC is turned on, the total battery life with the case is up to 28 hours, and it is up to 35 hours when ANC is turned off. Quick charging is supported; it can extend battery life by two hours in just ten minutes of charge.

Google Play Store charges app developers service fees of up to 15% for using their platform. This service fee only applies to developers that sell digital goods and services within their apps. Only 3% of developers in India are required to pay a service fee. The 15% service fee is the lowest among all the major marketplaces.

In the Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360, you get a fairly large full QWERTY backlit keyboard with a NUM pad. Right below is the larger-than-usual trackpad as well. Robust hinges connect the screen and bottom façade, which can swivel all the way to the back making this machine a 2-in-1. Yes, this notebook can be used in tablet mode as well since the display is a touchscreen.
In total, you will get 6 ports on the Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360. These are located on the left and right side of the machine and include HDMI, 2 USB type-C, 1 USB 3.2, 3.5mm combo audio port and a microSD card reader. The laptop can be charged using the USB type-C port using the supplied charger and charging cable. Furthermore, you will also find the Samsung branding on the top of the lid and speaker vents on either side under the structure.
Since Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360 is a machine specifically made for creators in mind, you will also get a large stylus, also known as the Samsung S Pen in the box. This comes in handy if you want to draw, mark content or create something new. The S Pen has a click button on it, which can be used as a mouse right-click to open the menu system. For easy access, the S Pen can be magnetically placed on the top part of the laptop’s lid.
Now let’s jump back to the display and take you through. The screen resolution you get on the Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360 is 2,880 x 1,800 pixels, which makes it FHD+. It is a beautiful touch screen with a 120Hz refresh rate that showcases extremely vivid colours and deep blacks. Everything on this display looks fabulous. The graphics are provided by Intel Iris XE and it does a very good job. There is no discrete graphical system on board, yet the performance is top-notch.
We played games like DOTA 2 and CS: Go and we were able to get 100FPS on the system with ease. But games like BattleField 2042 struggled at medium to high-end graphics settings. You will get 30-35FPS at low settings. But hey, this device is not made for gaming, it is made for consuming or creating content along with business needs.
So, we switched gears and watched a few movies on Netflix and Prime Video. Since Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360 is Dolby Atmos ready, the experience was superb. We enjoyed every bit of it as the display was able to handle and differentiate between dark and light parts of any scene with ease. Also, there was no ghosting. The only issue we faced was and is a problem with all touchscreen AMOLEDs is the glossiness of the screen. If you have a direct light source behind you, it will ruin the watching experience.
Also, if you are one of those who loves to use his/her fingers on the touchscreen, then please keep a microfibre cloth handy, as the screen is a smudge magnet. But luckily, a quick wipe takes all the smudges away. All in all, the design and display scored quite high on our test tables.

With that, the Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360 also has 1TB of NVMe SSD, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.1 and quad speakers are their powered by AKG. Two 5W Woofers and two 2W tweeters complete the audio setup. The power button on the device also doubles up as a fingerprint reader, which works very well. Window 11 Home is what you get installed on the machine, which came across as odd because this laptop is built for superior business needs. Windows 11 Pro would have been advantageous.
We had a gala time with this laptop. The Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360 is a treat to work with, we did a lot of things using this laptop. From typing out work documents to drawing on MS Paint. It handled everything like it is child’s play. We even opened over 40 tabs in the Chrome browser on this notebook and it did not flinch.
Impressed? Wait, here is the best part – its battery life. The Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360 comes with a 76Wh battery that can be charged with the supplied 65W faster charger. On our tests, this Samsung notebook stayed alive for almost 10 hours at 60% screen brightness. We did a lot of things on it, watched 1 Netflix show, did our full day of office work and even played music while we were at it.
The S Pen is a neat addition as it does help if you are an avid creator and use a lot of Photoshop or similar software. You can do so much with it and more. Over that, if you are in the Samsung Ecosystem and use a Samsung mobile then transferring files between the devices is very easy. Just remember you have to be logged on to the same Samsung ID on both of them and you can easily make use of the Samsung native apps.
Samsung also provides an extra layer of security, which keeps your files and data safe from scammers and hackers.
We did use the Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360 in tablet mode, which some might like, but for us, it was slightly big to be used as a tablet. 11 to 13-inch form factor is perfect for any tablet use. But hey that is just us, some creators would love the extra screen space when they use it in the tablet mode.
We loved the audio this laptop produced. Since the speakers are powered by AKG and are Atmos-ready, you will love editing videos and even watching high-res movies. One will get good virtual surround sound from them when sitting close and they do perfect justice to the whole scheme of things.

Ambient temperature plays a significant part in determining your iPhone’s battery health. If your iPhone is constantly subjected to extreme temperatures, its battery health will take a hit. The 16-22°C window is deemed as the ‘ideal comfort zone’. This means your phone’s battery will be unaffected by the temperature as long as it operates within this temperature window. Exposing your phone to temperatures above 35°C can affect its usage and battery capacity. The battery life will drop by a considerable margin as well. Putting your phone on charge at this temperature can permanently damage the battery too. The other end of the extreme does not affect the battery permanently but it can alter the performance of your phone. Your phone can take a longer time to charge in cold temperatures but the battery health will not take a significant hit.
Your phone doesn’t need to be 100% charged at all times. If you frantically reach for the charger as soon as your device’s battery drops to half, it can have a negative effect on battery health. Batteries degrade over time. What degrades batteries is the heat generated during a charge cycle. Apple says that your iPhone’s battery capacity drops to 80% after 500 charge cycles. Ideally, you should plug in your phone to charge when it hits 30% and charge it to 80%.
Excessive current running into your phone’s battery can permanently damage the cells. If you leave your phone to charge overnight, it is bound to take a toll on battery health. iPhone has a great feature called ‘Optimised Battery Charging’ for people who charge their phone overnight. You can find it by going to Settings>Battery>Battery Health & Charging. Once Optimised Battery Charging is turned on, your iPhone will observe your charging patterns. If you charge your phone overnight and plug it out as soon as your wake up, your iPhone will charge the battery to 99% at regular speed, then slowly trickle charge the remaining 1% until you wake up. This prevents excessive current from flowing into the battery.
Every new iteration of your phone’s OS comes with better and smarter ways to manage the battery. Apart from giving a boost to your iPhone’s speed and performance, new iOS versions may also offer new features that help you manage battery health in the long term. To update your iPhone, go to Settings>General>Software Update.
This goes without saying but third-party power adapters and cables aren’t going to deliver a better consistency than the official Apple charger. Apple’s original accessories are better optimised for your iPhone. Whereas a third-party charger may damage your device in the long run. There are a lot of low-grade third-party chargers in the market that don’t cost as much but will severely damage the battery’s health.
It is a good idea to turn off any background functions that you aren’t actively using. This includes location, WiFi, Bluetooth, and such. These background functions slowly drain the battery, increasing the frequency of charging cycles. Since the idea is to keep the charging cycles to a minimum, it is essential your make sure your iPhone isn’t getting drained faster due to these background functions.
You may know this already, but using your phone while charging also diminishes the battery life, and in the longer run, the battery capacity. You can still do small tasks like checking and responding to messages, but more power-intensive activities like gaming and navigation should be strictly avoided. While performing these tasks, you are actively draining the battery while it is being charged, resulting in greater heat production.
If you plan on stashing away your iPhone for a long time, charging it to 100% before storing it can negatively affect battery health. What’s worse is if you drain the battery and then store your iPhone for a long time without charging it. This can make the battery enter the ‘deep discharge state’ and can seriously inhibit its capacity to hold charge. While storing your iPhone, it is also important you ensure that the surrounding area is dry and not too hot.

Every new smartphone comes with a product warranty. The warranty on Apple’s products is called AppleCare. Every iPhone comes with free AppleCare for one year. This means that any malfunction or defect will be fixed free of cost by the manufacturer, which in this case is Apple. AppleCare covers software as well as hardware-related defects. What it does not cover is accidental damage done by the user of the device. So, if you accidentally cracked your iPhone’s display, it will not be covered by AppleCare. You also get free 90-day technical support with AppleCare, which means if you encounter any trouble while setting up the phone, you can contact Apple Support at any time.
AppleCare+ is Apple’s premium warranty plan. You have to pay extra for this warranty coverage. First off, AppleCare+ adds an extra year to your product’s standard warranty. On top of that, your Apple device is also covered for any accidental damages. This means Apple will repair your iPhone free of cost even if you drop it and break it. That’s not even the best part. As long as your device is under AppleCare+ warranty period, you can bring it in for accidental damage repair any number of times. This means even if you break the display of one device multiple times, Apple will repair it free of cost every single time.
There are other benefits of getting AppleCare+ as well. You get global repair coverage with this premium warranty package. This means no matter where you are in the world, you can get your Apple device repaired free of cost, given there is an Apple-authorised repair centre nearby. You also get free battery replacement if the battery health drops below 80%. What we like about AppleCare+ is the added benefit of getting a temporary replacement device issued to you while Apple repairs the device that you brought in.
There are a lot of factors that determine whether you should pay extra for AppleCare+. The primary factor is the device you own. If you are looking to get the premium warranty package for Apple TV or Apple HomePod, then it may not be worth it. This is because these two devices are supposed to stay in one place most of the time and aren’t prone to physical damage. This is also why the AppleCare+ package for these devices costs significantly lower than others.
Devices like iPhones, iPads, and Macbooks are more prone to accidental damage. This is why AppleCare+ makes more sense for them. Currently, AppleCare+ for iPhone costs Rs 8,900 which seems like a good deal if you consider you’re getting 2 years of warranty which also covers accidental damages. If you don’t like putting a case around your phone, with AppleCare+ you can fearlessly handle your iPhone.
At the end of the day, the decision boils down to how safe you are with your device. If your smartphone handling habits lie on the reckless side, getting AppleCare+ for your iPhone makes more sense. You can purchase AppleCare+ only within the first 60 days of buying the Apple product.

RadarBot is a very handy app, especially if you plan on driving on highways for an extended period of time. With speed cameras everywhere, you never know when your vehicle is being monitored. RadarBot notifies you every time there is a speed camera in your vicinity. While it is not faultless, the app works fine most of the time. It alerts you every time you break the permissible speed limit and produces a sound when there’s a camera nearby. For bike riders, the app offers vibrational alerts, which means you don’t have to pull your phone out of your pocket or mount it on your bike’s console.
Most cars come with a ‘cruise control’ mode which limits your speed to a certain number and does not go beyond that. Ideally meant for highway driving, cruise control lets you take your foot off the accelerator, which means you won’t accidentally over speed on extended empty patches of the highway. It doesn’t take a long time to familiarise yourself to cruise control, and it comes in very handy in the long run.
The speed limit depends on the kind of road and the region you are in. Luckily, every major road has a speed limit sign board that lets you know the permissible speed for driving. It is also a good idea to keep yourself updated about the different road signs and what they mean. The speed limit sign is something that every driver recognises. Some roads also have a digital sign board that scans your vehicle‘s speed and displays an estimated velocity. Keep an eye out for these signs and make sure you adjust the speed of your vehicle accordingly.
Like RadarBot, Speed Camera Radar is another great app to get notified about any speed cameras while you’re diving. Apart from alerting you of any static, ambush, or traffic light cameras in your vicinity, this app also notifies you about any road hazards. Once you install the app on your device, make sure you update the database routinely so you don’t miss out on any camera.
