iPhone 14 Pro
Carrying a smartphone to your vacation is a no-brainer. A smartphone camera is a decent alternative to a DSLR, so you’re cutting down on one additional device. But what does the iPhone offer that other smartphones don’t? With the iPhone 14 Pro, you get satellite connectivity, which means you can send out SOS messages in an emergency even when you don’t have cellular reception. You can read about iPhone 14 Pro’s satellite connectivity feature in detail here. It’s one feature we hope you never have to use, but it doesn’t hurt to have it in your smartphone.
Styleys Gadget Organiser
One of our biggest pet peeves is charging cables and headphones getting tangled with the luggage while travelling. Most travel bags do not have specialised pockets for your electronic devices and accessories. Styleys Gadget Organiser solves this particular issue, offering an organised solution to keeping your electronic gadgets and cords in one place. This portable pouch will fit in comfortably with your luggage and you can pull it out easily without having to rummage through your luggage.
Kindle
Why carry a book while travelling when you can store an entire library on your Kindle? With Kindle Unlimited you get access to over 2 million titles. While having access to an endless number of books is a big plus, what makes the Kindle Paperwhite perfect for travelling is its thin, lightweight design. It barely occupies any space and its glare-free paperwhite display lets you read the text in any lighting condition. Certainly a must-have travel gadget for readers.
rts Dual USB Universal Travel Adapter
Nothing less than a necessity when travelling internationally, a universal travel adapter will make your life much easier while dealing with different power outlets. The rts Dual USB Universal Travel Adapter is compatible with 4 different international sockets (Australia, US, UK, Europe) and its compact design barely takes up any space in your luggage. The 4 power outlet plug-ins are enough to cover most places on the planet. You also get 2 USB ports with the rts travel adapter, that can be used to directly charge your smartphone, camera, mp3 player, or Kindle.
Mi Power Bank 3i
When travelling long distances, you won’t always get the chance to charge your electronic devices. Smartphones can run out of battery even when they’re on standby mode, as background activities like GPS, mobile data, and background apps can consume a fair amount of power. The Mi Power Bank 3i comes with an impressive 20000 mAh of battery backup, which is more than enough to fully charge multiple smartphones. You can plug in up to three devices at once, and enjoy the luxury of 18W fast charging while on the go.
Sony SRS-XB32 Portable Bluetooth Speaker
Take the party with you wherever you go. The Sony SRS-XB32 is one of the best portable speakers around. The XB32 offers a brilliant audio output which can further be taken to another level by turning on the live mode. Its portable design makes it convenient to carry around while travelling, and you can set it up wherever you like. With a battery that lasts up to 24 hours, you don’t have to worry about plugging it in to charge every few hours. The LED lights around the speaker can be controlled with the Sony app, bringing all the more fun to the party. Read our detailed review of the Sony SRS-XB32 here.
Ozomax Sleek Travel Iron
Travelling on a budget? Save up on unnecessary ironing costs by carrying your own portable travel iron. The Ozomax Sleek Travel Iron has dimensions of 15.8 x 11 x 4.8cm, and you’ll have no difficulty fitting it in with your luggage. The foldable handle adds to the portability and the temperature control knob will help you adjust the iron for different fabrics. This device becomes a lifesaver when you’re travelling to attend a function and need to iron your clothes at the last minute.
Oppo Enco Air2 Pro
Every traveller is aware of the tedium that comes with travelling long distances. With a pair of wireless headsets, you can combat boredom on the road by listening to music, podcasts, or audiobooks. But why go for wireless headsets when a pair of wired headphones will also do the job? Well, the Oppo Enco Air2 Pro offer Active Noise Cancellation, which will easily tune out the background noise of the road, train tracks, or airplane engine, helping you relax and get some quality rest. Constant exposure to noise is one of the major reasons behind travel fatigue. With a good noise cancelling headset you will be able to get quality sleep on the go. Read our review here.
Dyson Airwrap Multi-Styler

The Vivo T1x is the newest addition to Vivo’s T-Series of smartphones, which have always offered excellent value for the money spent on them. The smartphone competes with the Redmi Note 11 series and has a design that is quite similar to the iQoo Z6. It is intended for online-only users and is priced somewhere in the inexpensive range, approximately Rs 12,000. We’ve been using this phone for a while, so trust us when we say that it feels as nice as it looks. Let’s find out what else the phone has to offer in this review. Just a glimpse, the smartphone is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 SoC and boasts an FHD display with a 90Hz refresh rate, among other features. So let’s check it out.
In This Article
Vivo T1x Review: Design and display
The Vivo T1x is quite slim and svelte in appearance. The polycarbonate and glass used to form the back panel, which has a pretty excellent finish and is composed of plastic, seem quite nice. Furthermore, it hardly ever attracts fingerprints—aside from a few smudges—and generally remains spotless. Although the camera bump is definitely not subtle, we were able to rest our fingers on it with ease, and there is a Vivo logo at the bottom.The sides are quite thin, and it has a lovely flat shape that gives your hand a great grip. The volume rockers and power button, which also serves as fingerprint sensor, are located on the right. A single down-firing speaker, a USB Type C port, a microphone, and a 3.5mm headphone connector are all located at the bottom. Then a SIM tray with space for two dedicated micoSD cards and nano SIM cards is located on top. A selfie camera is housed in a teardrop notch on the display. The side bezels are thin with a noticeably thick chin. Overall, we would say that the build and design give you the impression of using a high-end smartphone.The Vivo T1x’s front features a 6.58-inch full-HD+ LCD screen with a resolution of 1,080 by 2,408 pixels. The display has a 90Hz refresh rate, a 90.6 percent screen-to-body ratio, and a 96 percent NTSC colour gamut coverage.The contrast and overall saturation levels are rather outstanding, and the screen looks lovely. Thanks to the full HD quality, the fonts and icons are also apparent. While the display is adequate for casual media viewing, it is not bright enough for use outside in the sun. However, you do have support for 90Hz refresh rates, which makes a significant impact, especially when you are browsing through social media. By offering a 90Hz refresh rate, which looks fluid but has little to no influence on your battery life, the whole display experience is improved. You can still use a smart switch, though, where the refresh rate adjusts based on the type of video being displayed. If you want to conserve battery life, maintain it at 60Hz.The T1x is a highly enjoyable, clear, crisp, and bright device for watching videos and movies on. It does have Widevine L1 certification, enabling full-resolution streaming from services like Netflix and Amazon Prime.The single speaker that fires downward is loud and clear enough. However, it would have been fantastic if it had twin speakers.On the other hand, despite being incredibly secure, the side-mounted fingerprint scanner is not the fastest. It takes a moment or two for it to recognise you before unlocking. Although it became quicker as I began to use it more frequently, you may also utilise face unlock. Although not the safest, it is really quick. Faceunlock can be challenging in dimly lit areas where it is less effective; thus, we advise using the fingerprint scanner instead, which is far more dependable.
Vivo T1X Review: Performance and camera
With FuntouchOS, the Vivo T1x runs the most recent version of Android 11, which has a few small tricks up its sleeve but still looks and feels quite similar to pure Android. We genuinely adore how responsive, slick, and simple to use it is. Even the basic gesture controls function well. The main drawback, though, is how bloatware-heavy it is; it feels like half of the Play Store is included. The good news is that you can remove any apps you no longer use.When it comes to performance, the Vivo T1x is driven by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 SoC, which has an octa-core 6nm architecture and is paired with an Adreno GPU 610. The phone can also support up to 6GB of LPDDR4x RAM. The Vivo T1x supports UFS 2.2 onboard storage up to 128GB, and a microSD card with a maximum capacity of 1TB may be loaded through a dedicated slot. As a result of the additional built-in storage, the RAM may be raised to 8GB, which was beneficial for multitasking and kept the most frequently used apps in memory, which is incredibly helpful.We were quite pleased with the overall user experience and found no speed slowdown. We played COD, and it was a fairly enjoyable experience overall. We played for more than 30 minutes without experiencing any lag. It’s also important to note that this phone has full-layer cooling technology, which keeps it from overheating and improves gaming performance.Regarding the battery, we have a 5,000mah battery that, depending on usage, can easily last you a day to a day and a half. There is now an 18W charger included, and a full charge takes roughly three hours. Additionally, there is no possibility of overcharging or overheating the phone because the device has a VEG (Vivo Energy Guardian) charging feature that automatically stops charging when the smartphone is fully charged.The Vivo T1x includes two rear cameras, one with a 2-megapixel secondary sensor and an f/2.4 aperture and the other with a 50-megapixel primary sensor. It features an f/1.8 aperture 8-megapixel front camera for selfies and video calls.Let’s start with the main camera, which is actually rather decent. In well-lit conditions, the 50-megapixel primary sensor produces clear, bright, and sharp photos. With true colours, you get a dynamic range that is astounding. We tried a few times, and it didn’t let us down. While we won’t say they are perfect, some of them were taken at night and are still rather good.MacroIf you utilise the 2-megapixel macro in well-lit environments, it should work fine. When there is good illumination, the front camera is very clear and performs admirably. Additionally, you can use bokeh blur to create portrait shots. Edge detection can be hit or miss, depending on the situation.PortraitAs for the videos, you may capture a full HD movie at 60 frames per second. If you don’t hold the camera steady, the footage can be a little shaky, but overall, the quality is excellent.
Verdict
Numerous features about the Vivo T1x are excellent. With a Snapdragon 680 SoC and effective cooling, it is a reliable performer. A full HD display with a refresh rate of 90Hz is included. Additionally, it incorporates VEG technology for secure charging. The phone’s cameras are also being used cautiously by the gadget. Although the images are fairly outstanding, the HDR performance is not exactly the best. With these features, the smartphone manages to stand out from the competition for a starting price of Rs. 11,999.

Mobile phone penetration has hit unprecedented levels during the last few years, with current figures in the United States indicating that 82.2% of the population uses a smartphone. This phenomenon has created an opportunity for businesses to reach a much larger audience. The gambling industry has moved aggressively to increase and dominate the growing market share.
With the increase in the number of online casinos came the need to differentiate themselves so as to appeal to a loyal clientele. Every credible casino offered a casino bonus of one form or another. However, as the industry becomes more and more mainstream, online casino operators are faced with playing in a safe online environment that will guarantee the security of their funds and data.

Tips on Playing Safely on your Mobile Phone
Here are a few measures that a gambler can take to play safely on their mobile phones:
1. Ensure the online casino website is licensed
A licensed website will confirm that the online casino is carrying out legal activities. This information is found at the website’s footer, or in a section called ‘Licensing’. A licensed website has its numbers generator periodically audited to ensure RTP (return to player) percentages are fair, offering games that are not rigged.
When registering an account on a licensed casino website, the player should expect all payment information to be handled securely to avoid abuse. The player should also be assured that all complaints or queries will be quickly responded to with helpful feedback.
2. Look out for Two-Factor Authentication
Laws governing online gaming activities have made it mandatory for all iGaming websites to make use of two-factor authentication. This system requires the user to prove they are the authorised owners of the account by presenting two different authentication factors. The options could include a fingerprint or face ID, a password, or a one-time code from the OTP token.
Gamers are protected from identity and payment fraud, while the company avoids expensive lawsuits from people whose personal data was leaked. Logging in from a new mobile phone will also prompt for proof of identification.
3. Secure Payment Options
To keep clients’ data confidential and away from the reach of hackers, casino websites need to implement a few security protocols. SSL (Secure Socket Layer) is a data protection measure that keeps the gamer’s information safe. It is mandatory for all genuine sites as it prevents scammers from carrying out phishing attacks.
These protocols not only help the casino build trust with their customers and comply with regulations, it also helps gamers to identify genuine gambling sites. The HTTPS letters at the beginning of the URL will guide the gambler to access a connection that is secure.
4. Keep your Playing Device Secure
In the search for a legitimate gambling site, the mobile phone is prone to malware. The virus that has made its way into the phone application may obtain sensitive passwords or hack your bank account. Ensure that an antivirus is installed and continuously updated.
Many times, punters at online casinos get tired of the lengthy registration process while trying out a new gambling platform. Customers are in fact, a bit hesitant to share any personal information regarding their identity since most of them prefer to stay discreet while gambling online.
From a gambler’s point of view, this issue is quite understandable since financial details are also being shared. Over 45% of people gamble in the UK each month. In 2020, there were 24 million adult punters in the UK and almost half of them preferred online betting. Thus, customers wanting to evade the registration process are a majority since the documentation process can be extensive and bears a risk of revealing the punter.
Basically, if you want to play without registration, you can simply google a list of operators providing this service – like this list of no-verification betting sites on NonStopCasino.org. Or, you can simply read on to learn which options are available for you, and make a choice yourself.
In This Article
Ways to Gamble Online Without Verification
Among the most common ways to play without registration are:
Using no account casinos
Playing with no-deposit bonuses
Playing free demo games
Playing at the casinos supporting crypto
Let’s take a closer look at each of these methods.
No-Account Casinos
No account casinos basically do not require a verification process mandated for the punters. The Pay N Play variants are highly preferred when it comes to gambling platforms that allow withdrawals without a proper signup process.
A simple hassle-free money deposition process is enough for placing bets. It is definitely an easy and convenient method and is powered by Trustly, a payment gateway that enables secure and swift transactions without a security check on the identification details.
However, a major con of no-account casinos is that it has limited availability and is not offered to UK punters. Irrespective of the instant payout process, these platforms lack lucrative bonus deals for gamblers which is a drawback.
Playing With No-Deposit Bonuses
For luring new punters, online casinos often provide lucrative offers. Casinos now provide free spins to new customers without a depository requirement, unlike the traditional 1st deposit bonuses. No deposit bonuses do not require a mandatory sign-up process, including identity verification, which is usually mandated. These free spins help punters explore the casino a bit and understand the games before actually investing in one.
This method requires no credit card or financial details unless one feels the urge to feed in. Punters have access to all no deposit slot games which require no deposits or verification. Besides, no-deposit bonuses are often offered by providers that are not on GamStop, so even self-excluded gamblers can enjoy them.
On the other hand, the bonus spins offered are much lesser than those that are offered on making a deposit. Thus, punters lose out on the actual benefit in order to avoid the KYC process.
Playing Demo Games
The demo games offered at online casinos are usually free for new punters. These games help gamblers get familiar with the games and get a hang of them. Demo games require no verification or deposit. These games are available at offshore casino platforms in Curacao, Malta, Gibraltar, and Kahnawake since the UK-based casinos do not allow underage gambling and require a verification process.
Almost 16% of British gamblers are between 16-24 years of age followed by 29.8% between the 35-44 years of age group. Even during the Covid-19 crisis, the global market for casinos had an estimated value of $123.4 billion in 2020 which is projected to surpass $153.2 billion by 2026. The CAGR would stand at 3.7% over the entire analysis term. However, there are a very limited number of casinos offering demo games to their customers.
Playing at Crypto Casinos
Cryptocurrencies in online casinos have had rapid growth over the years. These casinos assure gamblers of not disclosing their identities and skipping the entire KYC procedure for gambling. This adds up to the privacy practices of casino operators.
Most crypto casinos are popular on Bitcoins that require no verification or registration, although it takes time to choose a proper crypto casino brand to play at. Mostly, due to the fact that it is extremely rare for a crypto casino to offer convenient payment methods like bank transfers, credit/debit cards, e-wallets, etc.
Cryptocurrency would undergo positive growth in the next few years with eSports viewership expected to reach $646 million by 2023. Another feature of these casinos that customers are inclined towards is the instant yet easy withdrawal process where one can cash out within seconds.
On the other hand, gamblers are often advised against playing at crypto casinos because of the limitations of payments are flexible in cryptocurrency casinos. Punters across the globe have access to such casinos without the imposition of restrictions. They mostly hold the status of international gambling platforms.
Conclusion
On average, UK punters spend $2.60 per week on gambling and the Gross Gambling Yield in 2020 stood at 5.89 pounds. Thus, punters look forward to trying out various types of casinos which offer minimum verification and KYC procedures. 29.3% of adult gamblers in the UK gamble every month and have seen the largest annual increase in the number of gamblers. It went up to 4.2% between 2019-2020.
However, a punter must always gamble on a licensed, secured platform with 128-bit SSL Encryption in order to be safe and free from fraudulence. All the above-mentioned ways will help a gambler choose the appropriate hassle-free gambling experience on no-account casinos across the globe.

Simply connect the USB drive or External drive to the USB end of the OTG cable to access the contents of the external storage on your smartphone.The external storage devices need to be in FAT32 or exFAT file format in order to be compatible with your smartphone. If you keep your movies and music stored in external storage, you can play them directly on your smartphone without needing to transfer them first.
Connect a keyboard to your Android device
Modern smartphones and tablets can do just about anything, but if you need to type a document, you’d still prefer a physical keyboard. This is because on-screen keyboards, while extremely useful, aren’t designed for typing a large volume of text. Using an OTG cable you can simply connect an external physical keyboard to your Android device and start typing away. The plug-n-play functionality makes it that easy.
Connect a video game controller
With Android games getting with every passing year, more people want to play them using their console controller. With an OTG cable, this becomes an easy enough task. Xbox controllers have native Android support, so connecting one to your smartphone and tablet is a matter of plug-n-play. For PlayStation controllers, you may have to root your Android devices for basic connectivity.
Connect a printer
Ever wanted to quickly print a document but did not have access to a PC or laptop? With USB OTG connectivity, you can directly plug your printer into your Android device and easily print out any document. To print out a document, you’ll need to switch the USB mode on your smartphone or tablet from mass storage to ‘PTP’ or ‘MTP’ mode. Some printers may not offer plug-n-play functionality, so you will have to download their necessary drivers before using them.
Connect a microphone to your Android device
Yes, most headphones come with an in-built microphone. But it is common knowledge that the quality of audio they record is barely passable for a phone call, let alone a professional recording. If you’re a podcaster or YouTuber and need to record audio on the go, you can easily carry out the task on your smartphone. Simply connect your microphone to the OTG cable and plug it into your Android device. The quality of audio recorded by microphones connected through a USB port compared to those connected through the 3.5mm jack is between night and day.

Conclusion
These are the 5 best ways you can use USB OTG on your Android device. Apart from these functionalities, there’s a lot more you can do with a USB OTG connection. Some people even use a USB OTG to reverse charge a smartphone or connect to the internet via an ethernet cable. If you’re a DSLR user, you can connect your camera directly to your Android device and transfer photos, much like any other mass storage device.
Due to the rise of certain technologies and their distribution across vast swathes of the population learning a new language has never been easier. Whether on a smartphone, tablet, your humble PC, or smart-enabled TV, these can all now be empowered with an app to help teach you a new language in record time.

The Rise of Language Learning as a Business Model
Being able to teach someone a new language could always be an income earner. Be it one on one lessons, extracurricular classes, or a series of books with accompanying audio. However, with the advent of smartphones and other portable computing devices, the idea of language learning is a billion-dollar industry truly began to emerge. In 2021, language learning apps generated 8.21 billion USD, a 32 % increase over the previous year.
Despite the above stat, questions have been asked as to the viability of the business model. These questions tend to look at how quickly a product can be profitable or go public. These are valid questions given the current competition in the marketplace but tend to ignore the role future technologies and current technologies will have on the industry. If it wasn’t for the proliferation of mobile devices like smartphones or tablets this discussion would not be happening right now.
Tech Driving theIndustry
One of the great advantages of learning a new language via the app is the increased language learning speed at which that language can be learned. This has been driven by adopting successful teaching methods with the convenience of your smartphone being a learning tool as well as a communication device. In the recent past, machine learning and artificial intelligence have presented better ways to improve how a new language can be learned, in particular, natural language processing (NLP).
NLP can be defined as a branch of computer science and the study of artificial intelligence that looks to further how computers can better understand both the written and spoken word. This is done so that computers can understand language as humans do, or at the very least communicate with humans in a human language rather than a programming or machine language.
NLP was not the revolutionary technology for language apps at the start. In fact, in many ways language apps were behind the curve in adopting NLP as a potential technology to boost growth. This is in part due to NLP’s teething problems. These problems included English-centric development, issues concerning accents and different dialects, difficulty in detecting emotion and tone, and the differences between listening to and reading a specific language.
To overcome these problems NLP needed a vast amount of fine-tuning. For both computer scientists and linguists, an uphill battle was looking to be on the horizon to see if NLP could be a revolutionary technology. Luckily, some in those fields saw the potential NLP could have and began working towards that.
NLP Gets a Boost
It was not just academia that saw potential in the technology but massive corporations. Google and Facebook have spent millions of dollars in overcoming the hurdles mentioned above. It is not just those tech giants but Elon Musk’s OpenAI has also made great strides in helping others realize NLP’s potential.
With regards to OpenAI, their newly released GPT-3 technology is capable of language multi-tasking, meaning it can translate text, extract text, and communicate with a human to a high degree of accuracy. Google has also released LAMDA which is a conversational artificial intelligence capable of talking to humans on a nearly endless number of topics.
Conclusion
The advancements made in the last few years regarding NLP have done much to overcome the issues faced roughly five years ago. Work still needs to be done but NLP is maturing to the point that it can effectively be used within language apps to further the app’s ability to allow a user to learn a new language.

We have been waiting for the Sony WH-1000XM5 to launch on this side of the globe, and they finally have come. We have been dissecting the past versions of the popular 1000-series of headphones by Sony year on year to be amazed every time. Excited, we took out the hammer and scalpel again to see if there is any chink in the armour this time around. Did it succumb under pressure? Let’s find out in the Sony WH-1000XM5 review below.
In This Article
Sony WH-1000XM5 review: Design
This time with the Sony WH-1000XM5 the company has done quite a few changes in the outlook. The headband has become thinner and lighter. The earcups do look similar but are now much sleeker and better looking. It weighs just 250 grams, so users can easily wear them for prolonged times. The headphones come in two colours white and black, and we reviewed the latter.
A nice matte finish runs all over the Sony WH-1000XM5 with premium, soft leather padding on the headband and ear cups. This gives the headphones a very rich, first-class look. The power button, which also doubles up as the Bluetooth button, active noise cancellation key, 3.5mm audio port as well as an LED indicator can be found on the left ear cup. While the right ear cup has the feather touch panel and USB Type-C charging port.
The Sony branding in bronze gold can be found at the end of the headband stem on each side, which adds to the show. In total 8 microphones are located on the Sony WH-1000XM5 for the best-in-class ANC. In the box, users also get a USB Type-C charging cord, 3.5mm aux wire and a very premium carry case, which compresses to about 1.5 to 2-inches to fit in tight spaces of your backpack or carry bag.

Sony WH-1000XM5 review: Performance
Listening to the Sony WH-1000XM5 put an ear-to-ear smile on our face. Yes, these are that good. And here is why. To begin with, these headphones carry a large 30mm audio driver in each ear cup. Combined with dual proprietary Sony processors, one to cancel ambient noise and the other to accentuate resonance at the same time boosting bass. Over that, it is built to give Hi-Res wireless audio too.
Frankly, it just blew us away with its terrific sound. We put all sorts of music and movie genres to the test. We even threw the kitchen sink at it and not once did it duck. It kept standing like a superhero out of a Marvel movie. Our pick will be Wolverine or Iron Man, if you really want a comparison.
But jokes aside, the Sony WH-1000XM5 is definitely something a superhero would wear to hear music on his/her off day. It will bring them immense pleasure after a long fight they just won saving the planet or the galaxy.
The active noise cancellation of the Sony WH-1000XM5 works wonderfully well and has become much better than before. Users can easily turn it on or off by pressing the ANC button on the left ear cup. With that, users also get touch controls on the right ear cup. The same cool stuff comes on to the Sony WH-1000XM5 as well. Double tap to play or pause, swipe to the front or back to skip a track, and swipe up or down to increase or decrease the volume. Press and hold with three fingers and you can hear the ambient sound for the pressed duration.
Tap it with three fingers to enable/disable speak-to-chat. What it essentially does is that even with ANC on, you will be able to hear ambient sounds like important announcements at the airport. Or if you are talking to someone you can converse with them and when you are done talking the music comes back into play after a few seconds. Pretty cool!

Also, the music pauses as soon as you remove them from your head. We took them out for a run and these stayed in place. Not once did we feel that they are coming off or will drop if we are not careful. You can adjust the band to your head type and the sturdy bar will make sure they stick onto your head.
Moving to its battery life, the Sony WH-1000XM5 can provide up to 30 hours of playback, which the company claims. On our test, we got over 29 hours of playback split over a few days. With that, these also support fast charging. In just 3 minutes of charge, you can get 3 hours of audio playback.
To test it further we played a few games like COD: Mobile using them. The audio just (again) blew us away. The shot-to-sound lag is negligible and we would certainly recommend them for high-end and professional gaming. We loved every bit of it. Famous AI’s such as Google Assistant as well as Alexa are supported, too. Here also thanks to the microphone array, we faced no issues. Just pair them with any mobile that has BT 5.0 or higher and you are good to go.
If you are a Spotify buff, then you are in luck. You can customise the Sony WH-1000XM5 with the Spotify and the Sony Headphone Connect apps so that you can resume Spotify music playback by either double or triple tapping the ear cup. There is no need to bring out your smartphone for it.
Multipoint connection is also on point here. The Sony WH-1000XM5 can connect to your laptop and smartphone at the same time, so there is a seamless transition between a Zoom call on the laptop to an audio call on the smartphone. Talking about which, the engineers at Sony have done a mighty fine job in fine-tuning the voice and mic quality. It is by far the best we have heard all 2022 from any wireless over-the-ear headphones.
Verdict
There is so much happening in the Sony WH-1000XM5. The Japanese major has made these headphones feature rich and we just could not get enough of them. So, at a special price of Rs 26,990 are they worth buying? We have been asked this question at least 10 times in the last week. With each passing day of using them, our yes, Yes, YES! kept getting louder.
If we really have to nit-pick. The only thing Sony could have done better is the placement of the ANC button on the left ear cup. We kept accidentally pressing it when we wanted to put them on or remove them with our left thumb. Rest, everything is perfect. If you can afford them, these are the best out there in terms of ANC, audio and over-the-top features.
Sony WH-1000XM5 Pros
Excellent audio and bass
Premium design
Excellent ANC

Taking the next step in the evolution of its TWS products, Nothing has officially unveiled the Nothing Ear (stick). Supposed to be the successor to Nothing ear (1), the Ear (stick) sports a new cylindrical design. The promotional images do not reveal too much about how the earbuds look, something that Nothing is holding back for the official release.Read Also: Nothing Ear 1 review: The first step in the right direction

Nothing Ear (stick): What to expect?
The case design of the Ear (stick) is consistent with the leaks that surfaced earlier this year. The company claims that the new ergonomic design is moulded to provide the perfect fit. The design is inspired by cosmetic silhouettes and is compact enough to glide into pockets. Nothing’s theme for the Ear (stick) seems to be minimalism, as it seeks to strip the Ear (stick) of any flashiness and keeps things simple and practical. The company states that ‘its tech you can’t feel, so you can experience everything else’. The Ear (stick) debuted at Chet Lo’s London Fashion Week Show on 20th September. The Nothing Phone (1) also made an appearance, as an accessory placed in custom-made limited edition bags fashioned out of sheer fabrics – giving a glimpse of the smartphone’s Glyph interface back panel.Talking about the specs, it seems that the Ear (stick) will miss out on wireless charging, owing to the new charging case design. The leaks that surfaced earlier this year also claimed that the Ear (stick) will not offer Active Noise Cancellation. However, nothing can be said for sure until the official launch. Read Also: Nothing Phone 1 Review: A statement piece
Conclusion
The official launch of the Nothing Ear (stick) is scheduled to take place later this year. Pricing and further details will be revealed at the launch event. From what we can tell, the Ear (stick) will sport a new stem design and will also come with new branding on the buds and the case.
Entry-level wireless headsets did not have a favourable reputation for a very long time. Often regarded as having an inferior sound profile, most consumers entirely skipped the TWS in the under Rs 2,000 category and simply went for wireless neckband headsets or the more traditional wired headsets.However, it took only a few category-defining products to set the new standard for entry-level TWS. The Oppo Enco Buds released last year were certainly pivotal in setting the benchmark for what an entry-level TWS should perform like. Now, with Oppo Enco Buds 2, the company seeks to fine-tune its product and even experiment with the design (a little). We tested the Oppo Enco Buds for a little more than a week, here is our review.

Oppo Enco Buds 2 review: Design
Oppo Enco Buds 2 come in compact packaging, with only the warranty and a pack of extra silicone tips inside. Oppo has decided not to include the charging cable to cut down on e-waste (and the price). The Oppo Enco Buds 2 charging case sports a circular design, a complete departure from its pill-shaped predecessor. The case has a matte black finish on the body with a glossy strip along the circumference. The build is robust, something you don’t usually get to see in entry-level TWS. Getting a feel of the case, it seems like it was designed for heavy, rugged use. The quality of materials used here is easily better than most products in this price segment.The USB Type-C charging port along with the mini LED notification light are housed at the bottom of the case. The Oppo branding can be found right in the centre, just below the lid. The lid itself is easy to open, and magnetically snaps shut in one satisfying motion.Flipping the lid open, you’ll notice the light blue interior housing the two earbuds. This offers a nice contrast to the all-black exterior, and the dual-tone look really suits the case. We’d still have preferred if there were a few more colour options, though. Like the charging case, the earbuds have also undergone a total design revamp. Pull the Oppo Enco Buds 2 out and you’ll notice a new stem design with touch sensors on top. The earbuds fit nicely in the ear and come with an IPX4 rating, which makes them splash and sweat-resistant. The touch sensors are prone to accidental touches like every other headset in this category, but they come in quite handy when you don’t want to unlock your smartphone to perform basic operations.To put the water resistance to test, we took the Enco Buds 2 out for a run and the performance did not drop at all. We had our doubts about the earbuds falling out after breaking a sweat – mostly due to the glossy finish inside – but they held up quite well.
Oppo Enco Buds 2: Performance
The Oppo Enco Buds 2 come with 10mm dynamic audio drivers in each earbud, an improvement over the 8mm drivers on the Enco Buds 1. The upgrade is clearly noticeable in the volume of the sound produced by the headset, and the thumping surround that comes along with it. You also get Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity with AAC/SBC codec support. Much like their predecessor, the Oppo Enco Buds 2 bring their A-game when it comes to the sound profile. The bass-heavy tone is something most users will enjoy. The overall sound output is well-rounded, and even though the tone may be bass-rich, it doesn’t overpower the other frequencies.We played Mdou Moctar’s Afrique Victime, and the sound was well relayed by the Oppo Enco Buds 2. We were impressed by the attention paid even to the more minor details. The clean guitar tone wasn’t suppressed by the bass-y notes and the hi-hat hits were distinct and well integrated into the output. In an indoor environment, the sonic experience was immersive and there weren’t many faults we could pick on. Perhaps the only minor drawback is that the sound distorts a little at maximum volume. Between the 40-80% volume range, you’ll get a rich, detailed audio output.The Oppo Enco Buds 2 also offer an ultra-low latency gaming mode. We tested the Gaming Mode with Call of Duty Mobile and it delivered on what it claimed. The audio synced up perfectly with the gameplay and delivered a very crisp output, which made the experience all the more immersive. With the AI Deep Noise Cancellation on offer, the call quality is on par with the category, but there is a slight room for improvement. In an outdoor setting, the Oppo Enco Buds 2’s noise cancellation could have been a little better. It’s something we hope the Enco Buds improve upon in the next iterations. You can further customise the Oppo Enco Buds 2 with the HeyMelody app. The app displays the charge status of the earbuds and lets you customise the touch controls. If the earbuds are still in the case with the lid open, the app will even tell you the charge left in the case. You can turn on the ‘Game Mode’ from the app or assign a special touch gesture to activate it. The ‘double tap to take a selfie’ feature is reserved only for Oppo phones. The app also offers ‘Enco Live sound effects’, which gives you two options – one to boost the bass and the other to boost the vocals. Either effect was too extreme for us and disturbed the well-balanced frequencies of the original preset. When it comes to charging, Oppo claims a total of 28 hours of playtime, earbuds and charging case combines. Playing music at 70-80% volume, the earbuds lasted a little over 6 hours. The charging case provided an additional 20-21 hours of battery backup, which we found to be quite satisfactory. Read Also:Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro coming to India, the company confirmed
Verdict
The Oppo Enco Buds 2 are currently listed on the Oppo Store at Rs 1,599 (the launch price was Rs 1,799). For that price, this purchase is a no-brainer. If you’re looking for an affordance TWS primarily for the purpose of listening to music, the Oppo Enco Buds 2 should be at the top of your list. Apart from the audio performance, the battery life and low latency mode on offer are a bonus.

Online gambling is a viral activity among people in all parts of the globe. However, the popularity has increased even more when online casinos have become mobile-friendly. People can now enjoy a wide range of games from different locations that have safe and stable Wi-Fi connections.

Mobile Casinos Offer Different Levels of Quality
The online world is full of mobile casinos that are offering different bonuses, games developed by different software developers, etc. However, are they all the same? Do they all deserve your attention?
Without any doubt, the difference in terms of quality does exist from one mobile casino to another. The task that every individual has is to recognize that difference by analyzing all the relevant factors and characteristics. The question is – which characteristics are the most important ones?
The Popularity of Mobile Casinos in India
The quality of the mobile gambling market has certainly influenced the popularity of mobile casinos in India. As you know, brick-and-mortar gambling is legal in only a few states of this lovely country. Because of that, people from other parts had to use the alternative that was offered to them.
The alternative does not always have to be good. It can only be appropriate if you select a good mobile casino that comes with the appropriate features. You may want to check out some of the best mobile casinos in India at online-casinos.com and ensure that you make a good decision. But, in case you decide to research on your own, then you should know which features are worth analyzing. Let’s find them out!
Ensure that the Mobile Casino Has a license
As we said, the gambling laws in India are a bit specific. The government does allow international online casinos to offer their services to the locals. Because of that, you need to chase the mobile casinos that have valid licenses.
License is the document or approval that guarantees the quality of the mobile casino. All the gambling platforms go through a strict process of testing where all the safety and quality features are checked. The license is often highlighted somewhere on the website or app. If you don’t see it, that often means the license does not exist which automatically means you are not truly protected.
But, just because you see a logo of some of the international regulatory bodies and a license number next to it, that doesn’t mean you should be completely calm. Click on the logo of the institution that stands behind the casino. If the official website of that organization appears, that means the license is valid. If not, that means it is fake. Additionally, you should check the validity of the license by entering the license number on the website of the official organization. If you can’t find it, that’s another sign it is fake!
Availability on Different Operating Systems
Most people in India will use the two most popular operating systems on their smartphones. It is good if the mobile casino you are using is available for both – iOs and Android OS. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case because of the obstacles that exist.
Things with iOs are pretty simple. You go to the App Store, find the app of a casino where you plan to gamble, download the app, and that’s it. But, Android (read: Google) has a different policy. Not a long time ago, online casinos couldn’t afford to publish their casino app there. Things are not too different now. Only casinos with UKGC licenses have that luxury while others need to look for plan B.
So, what’s plan B in this case? Mobile casinos can either make the web version of the casino mobile-friendly or they have to develop the so-called native app. Native apps are those that people can download directly from the platform they plan to gamble on. In most cases, the app will be almost (or completely) identical to the website version. But, it will be adapted to the needs of mobile users and provide easy navigation.
Demands of the App
The app should not be highly demanding in terms of system requirements. All the users with different average smartphones should have the opportunity to access it. If you see that the mobile version of the casino requires strong RAM or processor, that means it is not dedicated to everyone. Casinos never make a difference between their customers and they tend to meet the possibilities and expectations of everyone.
Mobile Casino Bonuses and Promotions
The mobile gambling experience needs to be pleasant in different ways. Lack of experience is one of the key problems that mobile casino users have. Even if they want to gain some experience, they are aware of the price they have to pay. Because of that, the mobile casino that you select must offer certain bonuses and promotions that can simplify your playing.
But, it is not just the point to get some bonus. You also need to be sure that the wagering requirements of the rewards you get are reasonable. Apart from that, the validity of bonuses also must be realistic. The bad casinos will give you 24 hours to meet the requirements they determined. Does that have a point? How many gamblers will truly manage to meet the expectations within a short period?
Customer Service of Mobile Casino
As we previously said, the license ensures that your data is protected from any hacks. However, that doesn’t mean the casino won’t experience certain bags. Apart from that, there are probably many questions that you, as a beginner, will have. For all the doubts and questions, there has to be an available customer service that will solve/answer them promptly. Because of that, we suggest you test customer support before you even register at any mobile casino. If the support is kind, professional, and proactive, that means you are not making a wrong decision!
Conclusion
To conclude, the license is the main feature you should check out before everything to ensure that the mobile casino you targeted is legit and reliable. Other factors are there to confirm the quality difference between two or more casinos. They are all equally important and we recommend you do not skip a single one of them. That is the only way to recognize a good mobile casino and ensure comfortable mobile gambling.
