Welcome everyone to the biggest, best consumer technology and gadget awards, welcome to Gadget Bridge Awards 2021. This is the third time we are doing our yearly awards to know the best of the best in the tech and gadget journey. All the nominations of Gadget Bridge Awards 2021 can be found here. This year too, we saw the much-needed lockdown and due to which the markets were shut, but after that things improved drastically and everything became almost normal (thanks to the vaccination drive, as well). We saw a wide variety of gadgets throughout 2021 and this time we said why not increase and appreciate more tech toys. So, yes, we can proudly say we are the biggest tech and gadget awards of 2021, with over 32 categories. We were overwhelmed in some months because of the sudden inflow of gadgets, but we powered through and took it up as a challenge. We thank you, our readers, viewers, listeners and well-wishers who have been standing strong with us, along with the rest of the industry. The new year started with a bang and some cool smartphones were launched in early 2021. Then in mid-2021 we again saw some great gadgets coming to life, including televisions, laptops, smartwatches, cameras, and tablets. The year was business as usual. You, our audience has helped us decide the People’s choice smartphone, gadget and brand of the year 2021. Thousands came forward and voted on both Twitter and on our voting forum to decide the winners here. We got a clear winner in two categories, while the third one saw a gadget win by just a few percentage points. So, without further ado let’s get started and see who the winners are in each of the 33 categories. These are Gadget Bridge Awards 2021: The biggest, best consumer technology and gadget awards of the year.
Here are the winners of the Gadget Bridge Awards 2021:

Best Smartphone Of The Year 2021

Like last year, this was by far one of the toughest categories when it comes to smartphones. We put in a lot of thought and retested some of the features. The winner won by the tiniest of margins. The contenders here are Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, OnePlus 9 Pro, Vivo X70Pro Plus, Mi 11 Ultra and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3. Winner: Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra. Best-Smartphone-of-the-year-2021 It comes with an Exynos 2100 chipset with Quad-Core CPU clocking at 2.91GHz. This speed only kicks in when the phone demands it. Like when playing graphic hungry games or apps. Otherwise, to conserve battery the lower speed cores stay alive. With this, the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra has 12GB RAM and 256GB storage (the device we got for review). Graphics are provided by Mali-G78 MP14 GPU.

Best Camera Phone Of The Year 2021

This is one of our favourite categories of the Gadget Bridge Awards 2021. We love to tinker around with cameras especially when it is on a smartphone. We saw some great nominations this year too. The contenders here are Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, Vivo X70 Pro Plus, iPhone 13 Pro, Mi 11 Ultra and OnePlus 9 Pro. Winner: Vivo X70 Pro Plus Best-Camera-Phone-Of-The-Year-2021 The technical specifications of the Vivo X70 Pro Plus include a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888+ 5G chipset that is the fastest in the current gen of CPUs. It is partnered with Adreno 660 for graphics, up to 12 GB of RAM and 512GB of fast UFS 3.1 storage. Together it makes up for a mean tech specs sheet. For battery, the company has installed a 4,500 mAh one inside, which some might think is less, but on our tests, it lasted for a full day. Besides, it comes with a 55W faster charger in the box, that can recharge it in a jiffy.

Best Budget Smartphone Of The Year 2021

The segment is one of the most crowded and brutal classifications when it comes to smartphones. A lot of devices were launched in this one year here. The smartphones makers left no stone unturned to make our choice very-very tough. But alas we found the one that stands on the top of the podium. The contenders here are Moto E7 Power, Samsung M12, Infinix Hot11s, Poco M3 Pro and Redmi Note 10 Pro. Winner: Redmi Note 10 Pro Best Budget Smartphone Of The Year 2021 The smartphone is powered by Qualcomm‘s Snapdragon 732G processor clubbed with up to 8GB of RAM. The device has up to 128GB of onboard storage and in case that’s not enough for some users, they have the option of installing a microSD card of up to 512GB. Redmi Note 10 Pro runs Android 11 skinned with MIUI 12 that brings several customizations to the device. It houses a 5020mAh battery and sports quad rear cameras (64MP+8MP+5MP+2MP), and a 16MP selfie camera.

Best Gaming Smartphone Of The Year 2021

Gaming is now part of everyone’s life. Many of us play casually as well as professionally. Smartphones were the first weapon of choice to level up our gaming skills. Last year the category was won by Asus ROG Phone 3 and this year will its elder brother step up on to the top of the podium? Let’s find out. The contenders here are Asus Rog Phone 5, Oneplus 9R, Poco F3 GT, Iqoo 7 Legend and Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra. Winner: Asus Rog Phone 5 Best-Gaming-Smartphone-Of-The-Year-2021 The smartphone comes screaming in with the top-of-the-line Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset. This is the absolute best when it comes to premium performance and gaming capabilities. The is partnered with Adreno 660 graphics. With that, you get 8, 12 or 16 GB of RAM. The one we are testing has 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. The 8GB RAM version comes with 128GB storage, the 16GB RAM model also comes with 256GB storage. The storage is UFS 3.1 supported. For audio, there is stereo sound available as there are twin loudspeakers available on the ASUS ROG Phone 5. These are optimised for the best gaming sound with DTS:X so that you always end up getting chicken dinner in PUBG.

Best Mid-Range Smartphone Of The Year 2021

A tough decision for us, as the votes were very close between two smartphones. The Oppo and Poco. But the previous had a wee-bit more firepower in the mid-range category. The contenders here are Oppo Reno 6 Pro, Oneplus 9rR, Samsung A52s, Poco F3 GT and Mi 11x. Winner: Oppo Reno 6 Pro.

Best Mid-Range Smartphone Of The Year 2021

The smartphone is powered by the new MediaTek Dimensity 1200 processor clubbed with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. The handset houses a 4,500mAh battery and supports 65W fast charging. The device runs ColorOS 11.3 that gets with itself some customizations like always-on display, really-cool animated wallpapers, a dedicated gaming mode, and more. There are some pre-installed apps on Oppo Reno 6 Pro including Soloop, Snapchat, Facebook, Josh, Hey Fun, Moj, et al. While most of them can be uninstalled, you’ll have to live with Hot Apps and a few other apps from Oppo’s family. This is a downside as some of them really spammed us with notifications during our time with the phone, and we didn’t really expect this from a device that is this expensive.

Best Mid-Range Camera Phone Of The Year 2021

A new category created this year is this one. There are plenty of smartphones, which launched this year in the mid-segment that came with very powerful cameras. So lets’s see which one comes out on top here. The contenders here are Xiaomi Mi 10i, Samsung Galaxy F62, Oneplus Nord 2, Vivo V21 and Samsung Galaxy A52s. Winner: Xiaomi Mi 10i Best Mid-Range Camera Phone Of The Year 2021 The smartphone is powered by Qualcomm‘s Snapdragon 750G SoC and it is available in three storage options – 6GB RAM/64GB storage, 6GB RAM/128GB storage and 8GB RAM/128GB storage. The handset houses a 4,820mAh battery and it comes with a 33W fast charger in the box. Mi 10i runs Android 10 skinned with the company’s MIUI 12.0.3 and the software of the device is highly customised. There is plenty of bloatware on the device and we often received notifications for promotional content, which is obviously something that hampered the user experience. Something that we really want Xiaomi to improve on. Not that they have not done it, but there is room to improve.

Best Selfie Smartphone Of Year 2021

Another fresh category we created in the 2021 awards is for selfie lovers. People love clicking selfies and there are plenty of smartphones in the market for that. We went through a ton of phones to find out the winner here. The contenders here are Samsung Galaxy S21+, Vivo X70 Pro Plus, Apple Iphone 13 Pro, Mi11 Ultra and Oneplus 9R. Winner: Vivo X70 Pro Plus Best Selfie Smartphone Of Year 2021 The Vivo X70 Pro Plus is by far one of the best we have seen this year. You get best in class Zeiss lenses here, with a gimble attached to it. This means you get super steady shots no matter what the situation is. Also, the primary shooter has a glass lens by Zeiss on it, which is much better than the usual plastic lenses found on most smartphones. The Vivo X70 Pro Plus comes with 32MP wide-angle lens with f/2.5 aperture size. The story here is also very lively. We were able to squeeze out excellent selfies during the day, but quality fell a little in low light. So, our suggestion is to use the rear cameras if you are shooting at night. The front camera can also shoot videos in 4K at 60FPS, which as said is great for vloggers. The colours are very close to life and you do not see any ghosting or details lost here.

Best Vlogging Smartphone Of The Year 2021

Whether you are creating videos for YouTube or for TikTok, you need a great smartphone for that. Makers are producing specific phones as well as features in them to cater to this audience, so it made perfect sense to create a class to appreciate them. The contenders here are Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, Apple iPhone 13 Pro, Oneplus 9 Pro, Vivo V70 Pro Plus and Samsung Galaxy Flip 3. Winner: Apple iPhone 13 Pro Best Vlogging Smartphone Of The Year 2021 Under the hood, Apple has put the latest Bionic A15 chipset that is the latest and the fastest from the company. This is coupled with up to 1 TB of storage, so all those who were bickering about the brand, not including a memory card slot in the iPhone can simply buy larger storage driven iPhone 13 Pro. The RAM and battery size have been bumped up and together with the latest CPU from Apple, the smartphone can open the most intense of games and apps in a blink of an eye. Battery life has become better in the Apple iPhone 13 Pro, too. You will get a few additional hours of playtime if you compare it to the previous version. Also, iPhone 13 Pro is water and dust resistant and comes with an iOS 15 operating system out of the box.

People’s Choice Smartphone Of The Year 2021

This is our first people’ choice awards category of 2021. This is where all of you helped us decide. You voted and this smartphone won. There was a clear champion here. The contenders here are Apple iPhone 13 Pro, Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, Mi 11 Ultra and Oneplus 9 Pro. Winner: Apple iPhone 13 Pro Peoples-Choice-Smartphone-Of-The-Year-2021 The Apple iPhone 13 Pro has triple 12 MP cameras that take care of ultra-wide, wide, and telephoto shooting experience. There is a TOF 3D LiDAR sensor included, which is great for adding depth to images. This has become better and the depth in shots is far superior when compared to its previous gen. Not to forget, the imagery has become much better from all three camera sensors. In our test, we got to see exceptional results in the day and at night. There was hardly a time of the day when we could not adjust the settings and get the shot we wanted from the phone. A new cinematic video mode has been added in the native camera app that will adjust the subject focus automatically. If there are two subjects in the video and one looks away from the camera the focus will automatically move on to the other person. Which by the way can be shot in 4K at 60FPS (frames per second).

People’s Choice Gadget Of The Year 2021

Good close completion here as well. Again you decided the winner, and we presented it as the clear winner. Let’s find out who won. The contenders here are Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3, Amazon Echo Show 10, Apple Ipad Pro 2021 and Asus Rog Zephyrus Duo 15 2021. Winner: Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 People’s Choice Gadget Of The Year 2021 The smartphone comes with a Qualcomm 888 chipset that has an octa-core CPU with a max clock speed of 2.84GHz. The graphics are provided by Adreno 660 GPU and it comes in two models. One model sports 12GB RAM with 256GB storage and the other has 12GB RAM with 512GB storage. Both support UFS 3.1 for faster performance of storage and better power efficiency. There is a 4,400 mAh battery inside, which does keep the phone alive for more than 21.5 hours under nominal use, which includes few hours of calling an hour of gaming and 1-2 hours of social media and YouTube browsing and playback.

People’s Choice Brand Of The Year 2021

You decided which is the tech brand of the year. The decision was unanimous and some of us in the team did see this one coming. The contenders here are Xiaomi, Samsung, Apple and Amazon. Winner: Samsung People’s Choice Brand Of The Year 2021

Winner: Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 Best Gadget Of The Year 2021 The operating system on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 is Android 11 with Samsung UI 3.1 skin on top of it. Thanks to the 12 GB RAM and the latest Snapdragon 888 chipset, we hardly came across any lag. The apps and games open in a jiffy and the 120Hz browsing and scrolling experience is top-notch. You get a lot of quick options in the drop-down quick settings menu and users can quickly access recently used apps from the sideswipe menu. We love an app drawer in a smartphone, and this mobile device also has one, so that everything on the home screen looks neat and not cluttered.

Hatke Gadget Of The Year (Design) 2021

Now let’s move to the Hatke categories that have something fresh about them. These gadgets are Hatke (different) when it comes to design. All of them had something unusually cool about them (design-wise). But one stood out as we have never seen this design feature anywhere else. The contenders here are Asus Aio 241e’, Fitbit Luxe, Oneplus Nord 2 Pac Man Edition, Samsung Flip 3 and Dyson Purifier Hot+Cold.

Charging the Philips Fresh Air Mask is also very easy and one can do that with any USB charger using the supplied cable.

Best Value-For-Money Laptop Of The Year 2021

What do we all want from a gadget? Value for money, especially when it comes to a gadget like a laptop, which we will use for years to come. The choices here were very competitive, but finally, we came to a conclusion. The contenders here are Acer Aspire 5, Asus Vivobook Flip 14 2021, Xiaomi Mi Notebook Ultra, Asus C214 and HP Pavilion 14. Winner: Xiaomi Mi Notebook Ultra Best Value-For-Money Laptop Of The Year 2021 So what all do you get under the hood? We are reviewing the Xiaomi Mi Notebook Ultra with the Intel i5 11th Gen (11300H) CPU that has 4 cores and a clock speed of up to 4.4GHz. This is partnered with 16GB RAM (3,200MHz frequency), which is soldered on the mainboard and 512GB of NVMe SSD. For graphics, you will get an onboard Intel Iris XE graphics unit. Other features include WiFi 6 for fast network connectivity and Bluetooth 5.1 support.

Best Laptop Of The Year 2021

A flurry of laptops were launched in the year 2021. The demand was very high this year too, as many were working from home due to the pandemic. Some great runners in this category but one stood out of the pack. The contenders here are Asus Zenbook 13 Um325u, Dell XPS 15 (2021), Acer Swift X, Xiaomi Mi Notebook Ultra and Hp Envy 14 (2021) Winner: Acer Swift X Best Laptop Of The Year 2021 Acer Swift X laptop features a 14-inch FHDQuad HD IPS LED Backlit TFT Acer ComfyView Display. The screen offers 1920 x 1080 pixels of resolution 85.73% screen-to-body ratio, 300 nits brightness, 100% sRGB and 16:9 aspect ratio.

Best Gaming Laptop Of The Year 2021

After gaming smartphones, a category that flourished during the year 2021 was gaming laptops.

The contenders here are Alienware M15 R5, Asus TUSF Dash F15, Lenovo Legion 5, Acer Helios 300 (2021) and HP Victus 15 (2021) Winner: Asus TUSF Dash F15 Best Gaming Laptop Of The Year 2021 The Asus TUF Dash F15 gaming laptop we reviewed had the Intel Core i7 version that supports 3.3 GHz. But this is just a quad-core CPU, which is not super best for high-end gaming, but does get the job done on medium to high settings with the NVIDIA 3070RTX GPU for most games. The above is coupled with 16GB RAM, 8GB of which is soldered on the motherboard and 8GB is removable. Most super-thin gaming laptops (this one is 19.9mm thin) like these come with soldered RAM, which has its own pros and cons. Pro is the thinness of the notebook and the con is if it gets ruined, you need to replace the motherboard. Users also get 1TB NVMe PCIe 3.0 SSD. Windows 10 Home is the native OS on the Asus TUF Dash F15 gaming laptop.

Best Tablet Of The Year 2021

Tablets are the preferred choice if someone wants good performance and portability yet does not want to burn a hole in his/her pocket.

Micromax’s IN Air Funk 1 Pro are budget-friendly true wireless earphones. Looking at the case first, we notice that it has a glossy finish and that there are some scratches on it, which could be due to the packaging. However, after only a few days of use, the glossy finish attracts fingerprints and even more scratches. Micromax IN Air Funk 1 Pro Review: Aesthetically pleasing Otherwise, we thought the construction quality and design were excellent. The charging case is small and sturdy. With one hand, you can easily open the case. The hinges are also of excellent quality, and the ear tips are aesthetically pleasing. On the front, there is an IN logo with an LED light. It has a Type-C charging port on the bottom, and the battery capacity and other details are listed on the back. The TWS earphones have an IP44 rating, which means they can withstand splashes of water, sweat, and dust. Micromax IN Air Funk 1 Pro Review: Aesthetically pleasing The earbuds are magnetised to the case. These lightweight in-ear headphones have an in-ear design. The earbuds have a glossy finish as well. The earphones lack physical buttons in favour of a touch-sensitive panel. These earbuds feature Bluetooth 5.2, 13mm drivers, and a quad mic setup. Overall, we liked the design and quality of Micromax’s new TWS earphones.

Micromax IN Air Funk 1 Pro: Performance

When it comes to performance, the Micromax IN Air Funk 1 Pro’s pairing process is simple. Simply remove them from the case, locate them on your device, and click to connect them to your smartphone. The Qualcomm QCC3040 chipset with cVc 8.0 powers the Micromax IN Air Funk 1 Pro. Aside from that, Bluetooth 5.2 and Aptx are also supported. review of Micromax IN Air Funk 1 Pro In terms of sound quality, we put these Micromax true wireless earphones to the test, both indoors and out. It produces a good sound, with clear highs, lows, and mids, but it is not as loud as we are accustomed to hearing loud music. However, there is one advantage: these sounds aren’t particularly loud, but they last a long time on a single charge. Even though they have 13mm audio drivers, the bass isn’t as deep as it could be, but it’s not bad either. The audio quality on both sides is crystal clear thanks to the quad mic setup, which means two mics in each earbud. The IN Air Funk 1 Pro is touch-sensitive rather than having a physical button. The music pauses and resumes when you double-tap. You can easily switch to the next track by doing a triple tap on the right earbud, and the previous track by doing a triple tap on the left earbud. The Google Assistant is activated when you press the button for a long time. However, the sound quality is adequate, especially when used while gaming, but there is some lag to be found. On the fliside, we did not notice any lag while listening to music, but (as said) you will notice some lag in gaming because these earphones are not designed for gaming, rather just for everyday use.  In terms of battery life, the Micromax IN Air Funk 1 Pro has a great deal to offer. This lasts up to 7 hours on a single charge, and when combined with the case, it provides a total of 32 hours of battery life. review of Micromax IN Air Funk 1 Pro The Micromax TWS earphones also have ENC, which means that as soon as you put them on, a vacuum is created, effectively blocking out as much ambient noise as possible. As a result, they offer passive noise cancellation rather than active noise cancellation. So make sure to choose the right ear tip size for you, as this will not only ensure a secure fit but also improve sound quality. A Qualcomm chipset and quad-array mics are included in the Micromax IN Air Funk 1 Pro. The headphones have a total battery life of 32 hours. The vocals are crystal clear, and the instrument separation is excellent. You get good bass that isn’t overpowering but is sufficient for everyday use.  review of Micromax IN Air Funk 1 Pro We tried a variety of music genres and were generally pleased with the results, especially given the earbuds’ low price. To summarise, if you’re looking for a TWS with a good design and quality for everyday use, you should definitely look into them.

Micromax IN Air Funk 1 Pro: Pros and Cons

Pros
  • Decent audio quality
  • Long battery life
  • IP44 rating
  • Touch controls
Cons
  • Attracts fingerprints and scratches
  • No gaming mode

Share your phone number carefully 

Admit it, we all make the mistake of sharing our personal contact numbers every time we go to a shopping mall.

You can always deny giving your contact number, if the cashier still asks for it you can just give him a random contact number.

Adding your phone number to the NDNC (National Do Not Call) registry will separate out any spam calls that were under the regulations. To do this you just need to send “START 0” to 1909 from your phone number. NDNC is created by TRAI (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India). The sole purpose for the creation of NDNC is to prevent unwanted Marketing SMS and calls from Telemarketers.Block spam calls on Android

OnePlus Nord 2 CE 5G likely to launch before February

Recently the OnePlus Nord 2 CE 5G was spotted listed on the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) website hinting at the imminent launch in the country. Now the device is tipped to arrive in the country as soon as February 2022. Previous speculations suggested that the alleged smartphone will be launched earlier in 2022 possibly in January. According to tipster Yogesh Brar, OnePlus Nord 2 CE is expected to get launched before February next year. His tweet reads, “Reading stories about the OnePlus Nord 2 CE launching soon as it popped on some database. Well, the stories are incorrect, the phone has been sitting on BIS for a long time now (nothing exclusive). Like I said in a detailed leak last week, it will not launch anytime before February.” Also Read: OnePlus Nord 2 CE 5G bagged BIS certification, may launch in India soon OnePlus has not yet officially confirmed the existence of the OnePlus Nord 2 CE but its appearance on the BIS website confirms that launch might take place in early 2022. The phone was spotted with model number IV2201 on the Indian regulatory site last week. The information about the smartphone’s launch in February may also be believed as the company recently confirmed the launch of its flagship OnePlus 10 Pro. The next-gen series launch is scheduled to take place in January and this could be the reason for the delay of Nord 2 CE. OnePlus Nord 2 CE 5G renders were leaked previously on the internet. The phone has been spotted in two colour schemes grey and olive. According to the photos, the device would feature an AMOLED display with a hole punch design. The volume rocker is on the left side of the frame and the power button is on the right side. The handset’s bottom features a microphone, speaker grille, headphone jack and USB Type C port. A fingerprint sensor will also be integrated into the display. In terms of optics, the OnePlus Nord 2 will feature a triple rear camera sensor contained inside a rectangular module. On the specifications front, OnePlus Nord 2 CE is said to run OxygenOS 12 on top of Android 12. The gadget is also likely to be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 900 SoC with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage as well as 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. The device is rumoured to include a 6.4 inch full HD+ AMOLED display with a refresh rate of 90Hz. With a punch hole cut out for the selfie, Corning Gorilla Glass will protect both the display and the back panel. Plastic will be used for the side frames. Also Read: OnePlus Nord CE 5G Long Term Review: A simple smartphone with clean UI, good for daily usage A triple camera arrangement on the rear of the smartphone has a 64MP primary OmniVision sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide lens and a 2MP macro lens. On the front, there is a 16MP camera for selfies and video calls. It features a battery capacity of 4,500mAH and enables 65W rapid charging. The OnePlus Nord 2 CE 5G is rumoured to include three card slots for SIM and microSD cards. The addition of the triple card slot is an improvement over the previous model because the OnePlus Nord CE lacks a MicroSD card slot. Also, the phone is likely to be lacking the alert slider, which may disappoint some.
