Printer companies like HP, Canon, and others used to give dirt-cheap printers and make up the difference with ink cartridges. Printers are becoming more expensive, while ink costs are decreasing. HP Deskjet Ink Advantage Ultra 4826 AIO, which we recently reviewed, is one such example. Let’s take a look at what this printer has to offer its customers.
In This Article
HP Deskjet Ink Advantage Ultra 4826 AIO review: Design
Out of the box, the HP Deskjet Ink Advantage Ultra 4826 AIO is a very modern-looking Deskjet machine. It is not the usual boxy printer you used to get 5 years ago. This printer has curves and is not afraid to flaunt it. We quite liked the new look HP has given to this printer.
The paper holding tray can be found at the top back, which also has a flip over it that protects it from dust. The bottom tray is divided into three parts, one that hides the colour and black ink cartridges, a fixed output tray and a drop-down tray that extends the fixed tray further with a swivel out arm. The output tray can hold up to 25 pages, while the input slot can hold up to 60 A4 sheets.
Since it is an all-in-one machine, you get a scanner on top that can scan pages up to A4 in size. On the left of which users get to see a few buttons, that can scan, scan and print in colour or black, the power button and the Wi-Fi key. Here there is a mono colour LED screen that shows you the ink levels of the cartridges as well.
At the back, you get to see the USB port as well as the power input port. All in all, the HP Deskjet Ink Advantage Ultra 4826 AIO is a well built, sturdy and good looking machine.
HP Deskjet Ink Advantage Ultra 4826 AIO review: Performance
Now let’s talk about the main USP of HP Deskjet Ink Advantage Ultra 4826 AIO – its scanning and printing capabilities. Setting it up is easy and one can just download the HP smart software after turning on the machine and wirelessly set it up using a PC/Laptop or via your smartphone. Yes, you can give direct print commands from your smartphone as well.
We chose to set it up with our laptop and it was a very easy process. Just remember to turn off your Anti-Virus for a few minutes as that might hinder the process as it did in our case, we had to turn down Kaspersky for 5 minutes for the process to complete.
In the box, you get two black number 47 cartridges as well as tri-colour number 47 cartridges. But the printer can hold just 1 colour and 1 black. So the additional ones can be used once you run out of the first ones.
HP claims that the HP Deskjet Ink Advantage Ultra 4826 AIO can print up to 7.5 pages of black and 5 pages of colour pages in one minute at mid 600PPi setting. However, on our test bench, we could only squeeze out 5.5 black and 3.5 colours pages in a minute, which is not bad but isn’t the best either. If you bring down the quality then you can get over 12.5 pages of black at blitzkrieg speeds, but that will not give you the desired results.
At the max setting, which is 1200PPi you get the best results and blacks look deep, and colours look vibrant. But printing at that level is painfully slow, even if you are just printing a black excel sheet it will take over 5 minutes to spurt out a single paper. Colour? Even more. We ended up getting a fabulous looking page but after 7 minutes of wait time. We gave the print command, made ourselves a cup of coffee and the page was still printing. But as said, the wait is worth it. In case you are ok with decent (not the best) looking colour pages, you can always print at the mid setting of 600PPi.
Over that, we did not find the colours to be bleeding, no white lines in between and at the best settings the colours came very close to what we were seeing on the laptop’s screen.
Scan times are very decent and in under 35 seconds, you get a fabulous, scanned copy on your computer screen. You can even scan and print in colour without the need for any computer or mobile. Over that, printing through an Android mobile (with Bluetooth V4.2 or higher) using the HP Smart app is also child’s play. Again, no need to send the file to a computer, simply connect to the HP Deskjet Ink Advantage Ultra 4826 AIO using your smartphone and print away. Remember you need to be less than 5 feet from the AIO to print using your mobile phone.
Verdict
The HP Deskjet Ink Advantage Ultra 4826 AIO’s sleep mode power consumption is less than 1W, which is good because it becomes more power-efficient. Additional black or colour number 47 cartridges cost only Rs 472 to buy. As a result, the printer is very cost-effective and will not burn a hole in your pocket. The overall weight of the machine is less than 5.8Kg, which makes it quite luggable and easy to move around. So, is it worthwhile to purchase at Rs 9,778? We initially thought maybe, but after looking at the cartridge prices, it makes a lot of sense. You may be paying a lot right now, but you will save a lot of money on printing costs in the long run. In addition, two additional ink packs are included in the box. If you need a printer for your home or small business, the HP Deskjet Ink Advantage Ultra 4826 AIO is an excellent choice.

TWS earbuds are quite popular these days due to their design and mobility. But, if you ask us, we prefer neckband earphones since they are more utilitarian and beneficial than TWS earbuds. And, most importantly, you do not misplace them. For the past few weeks, we have been using Oppo Enco M32 neckband style earphones. In the Oppo Enco M32 review, you’ll find out whether the device is as good as it appears.
In This Article
Oppo Enco M32 review: Design
Because of the high quality of construction, these are built to last. There is a huge button that allows you to effortlessly increase and reduce the volume. Also, these are so light that you don’t even notice you’re wearing anything around your neck; simply wear them as a necklace.The ergonomically designed silicone ear tips fit perfectly in the ear canals, and the plush ear wings keep the headphones firmly in your ears even while you’re working out.For control, there are three sensitive buttons. The Volume up button when once pressed increases the volume and Hold down to pick the next track. A multifunction button is located between the volume up and down buttons. Once you’ve pressed the button, you may play/pause audio or answer/hang up a phone call.Press three times on the button to activate the voice assistant. To refuse a call, press and hold the button for 2 seconds. The volume down button, on the other hand, lowers the volume. To play a previous track, press and hold.The greatest thing is that the Oppo Enco M32 earbuds have IP55 dust and water-resistant certification. You may listen to music while working out in the gym or walking around in the rain, knowing that your headphones are secure.
Oppo Enco M32 review: Performance
Before purchasing any form of earphones or headphones, we look for three things: first, audio quality, which requires the gadget to have strong drivers. Oppo has given 10mm titanium-plated composite diaphragm dynamic drivers for the M32. The audio quality is really good given the price point at which the item is available. By the way, we’re now obsessed with Gehriayaan’s music, and listening to Doobey on this gadget gave us a lot of joy. The nicest feature is that it provides high-quality bass, similar to what we’ve heard from premium devices like JBL and Sony. The mids and highs are perfectly clear. Whereas the vocals and instruments are quite superb, which is amazing for the price. These earbuds also support the AAC audio format.Second, we require a secure fit, particularly whether working out, going for a stroll, or performing home tasks. These earbuds are ideal for everyone since they fit snugly into your ear canal and provide an almost noise-cancelling experience. The ear loops hold them in place so they don’t fall out of your ears and you don’t have to constantly adjust them to keep them in place. So the Oppo Enco M32 has a great fit. Additionally, the manufacturer includes ear tips within the package that can be readily adjusted based on size for a snug and secure fit.The earbuds are magnetic, so if you need to remove them quickly, simply take them out of your ears. After they stay together, the music you’re listening to stops, and when you’re finished talking, put them back in your ears and you’re ready to leave.The OPPO Enco M32 employs a Hall-effect switch. When you split the headphones, they instantly connect to a device; when you put them together, the headphones immediately switch off and stop playing music. Controlling the audio is quite simple.The third and most crucial consideration is the battery life. Bluetooth earphones, whether TWS or neckband type, must have long battery life. The oppo Enco M32 is powered by a 220mAh battery that provides 28 hours of playback time. Furthermore, just 10 minutes of charging can provide you with 20 hours of battery life. However, it just takes around a half-hour to completely charge.In terms of connectivity, the Bluetooth earbuds provide a quick switch feature that connects to your other device instantly when you are out of range. For example, if you connect the M32 to your laptop and have your smartphone nearby, and then leave the room to do some work, the earphones will automatically connect to your smartphone with the click of a button. Simply pressing the volume up and down buttons for 2 seconds changes the device from your laptop to your device. There is no requirement for re-connecting. Bluetooth 5.0 low-latency transmission technology is supported, with a communication range of up to 10 metres. This ensures strong and fast connections for smooth chats, films, and games, as well as an optimal listening experience at all times.
Verdict
We don’t have a particular musical taste; we listen to merely what feels nice to my ears or that we enjoy. Also, we don’t listen to music all day, only for a few hours, and we have the earbuds swinging about exactly on our neck for that. It is important to highlight that whether you are a traveller, fitness fanatic, or use public transportation to get to college or a job, neckband earbuds are for you. We’ve tried a number of TWS earbuds, and these Oppo Enco M32 neckband type headphones are our absolute favourite. They’re also quite affordable (Rs 1,699). You’d think we’d solely covered the positive aspects of the Oppo Enco M32 review. In fact, we couldn’t locate any flaws or drawbacks.

iQoo 9 Pro is the latest smartphone to launch in India today under the iQoo 9 Series, which also includes two other devices iQoo 9 and iQoo 9 SE. As of now, there are very few smartphones with similar features and especially consisting of Qualcomm’s latest flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC. And we believe the OnePlus 10 Pro is the ideal gadget to compete with iQoo’s newest phone. So comparing the iQOO 9 Pro Vs OnePlus 10 Pro will help you understand how the iQOO 9 Pro 5G equates to the OnePlus 10 Pro 5G and which one you should buy.
iQoo 9 Pro: Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoCOnePlus 10 Pro: Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC
Rear camera(s)
iQoo 9 Pro: Triple back camera array with a 50-megapixel Samsung ISOCELL GN5 main sensor and ‘Gimbal‘ technology with optical image stabilisation (OIS). In addition to this, there is a 50-megapixel 150-degree fisheye wide-angle lens and a 16-megapixel portrait sensor with 2.5x optical zoom. The iQoo 9 Pro’s camera system is paired with five-axis video image stabilisation (VIS) technology.OnePlus 10 Pro: Triple rear camera array for photographs and videos with a 48-megapixel Sony IMX789 main sensor with f/1.8 aperture and optical image stabilisation (OIS). A 50-megapixel Samsung ISOCELL JN1 ultra-wide sensor with an f/2.2 aperture and an 8-megapixel telephoto lens with OIS is also included in the camera configuration.
Selfie camera
iQoo 9 Pro: 16-megapixel selfie camera sensor with an f/2.45 lensOnePlus 10 Pro: 32-megapixel Sony IMX615 camera sensor with an f/2.4 aperture
RAM and Storage
iQoo 9 Pro: 8GB RAM with 128GB storage and 12GB RAM with 256GB storageOnePlus 10 Pro: 8GB RAM with 128GB storage and 8GB RAM with 256GB storage
iQoo 9 Pro: Android 12 based Funtouch OS 12OnePlus 10 Pro: Android 12 with ColorOS 12.1 on top
Price
iQoo 9 Pro: Rs 64,990OnePlus 10 Pro: CNY 4,699 that translates to Rs 54,500
Our Take
Both gadgets include LTPO displays, which means they consume less energy. Furthermore, they feature an adaptive 120Hz refresh rate, therefore the displays are identical. In terms of hardware, there is no significant difference; the SoC is identical, and both run Android 12 with their separate skin overlays, which provide extensive customization choices. The cameras are also the same, however, the sensor on the OnePlus 10 Pro is made by Hasselblad, whilst the iQoo 9 Pro has gimbal stabilisation and a telephoto sensor. In terms of selfies, we prefer the one on the OnePlus phone, which has a 32MP camera, while the iQoo has a 16MP selfie camera.OnePlus has a longer battery life, but the iQoo 9 Pro has an advantage because it supports 120W fast charging. OnePlus has yet to announce the smartphone in India, but when its Chinese price is converted to Indian currency, it is less expensive than the iQoo 9 Pro, which is roughly Rs 10,000 more expensive. Both phones have premium features, therefore our selection would be the OnePlus 10 Pro, but we will have to wait till the company introduces the smartphone in India. In case it is more expensive than the iQoo 9 Pro, then our vote will swing in iQoo’s favour.

The screen might have a refresh rate of 144Hz, a 20:9 aspect ratio, and HDR10+ support.The smartphone might be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC, as well as up to 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB of internal UFS 3.1 storage.

Facebook’s short video feature Reels is being expanded to more than 150 countries. This feature was first made available to Meta owned photo-sharing app Instagram in 2020 and was expanded to Facebook last year. The company is extending tests of overlay ads, beginning with banner and sticker advertisements, to enable creators to make money from Facebook Reels. Remix, sharing to Facebook Stories, and other new Facebook Reels capabilities will also be available.Meta via blog post said, “Today, we’re expanding the availability of Facebook Reels for iOS and Android to more than 150 countries across the globe. We’re also introducing better ways to help creators to earn money, new creative tools and more places to watch and create Facebook Reels.”As per Meta, Reels is the fastest-growing content format by far on its platform. “We’re focused on making Reels the best way for creators to get discovered, connect with their audience and earn money. We also want to make it fun and easy for people to find and share relevant and entertaining content.”In order to create earning opportunities for creators, Reels Play bonus program, part of Facebook’s $1 billion creator investment, pays eligible creators up to $35,000 a month based on the views of their qualifying reels. As per the company, these bonuses have helped creators like Jason the Great fund their reels creation and better understand what types of content works on Facebook. Facebook will expand the bonus scheme to new countries in the coming months, allowing more artists to be compensated for making reels that their communities like.The company is also building direct monetization options for Facebook Reels through ad revenue share and fan support to allow creators to earn meaningful income from our monetization products like in-stream ads and Stars.Meta is also expanding tests of Facebook Reels Overlay Ads to all creators in the US, Canada and Mexico, and to more countries in the coming weeks. It will be starting with two formats: banner ads that appear as a semi-transparent overlay at the bottom of a Facebook Reel, and sticker ads: a static image ad that can be placed by a creator anywhere within their reel. These non-interruptive ads enable creators to earn a portion of the ad revenue.Any creator in the United States, Canada, or Mexico who participates in our in-stream advertisements programme is instantly able to monetize their publicly posted reels with ads. By mid-March, these experiments will be extended to creators in virtually every country where in-stream advertising is accessible. On its Meta for Creators blog, creators may learn more about overlay advertisements. In the coming weeks, it will also begin testing Stars on Facebook Reels so that users can buy and give Stars while viewing reels to support creators. Overlay advertisements and Stars are both meant to increase creator payments as more people watch and interact with Reels on Facebook.Brand suitability controls, including Publisher Lists, Blocklists, Inventory Filters and Delivery Reports for Banner and Sticker Ads in Facebook Reels have also been announced giving advertisers more control over how their ads appear in places they don’t consider suitable for their brand or campaign.In addition to this Facebook is also testing full-screen and immersive ads in between Facebook Reels since October of last year, and will roll them out to more places around the world over the coming months. Just like with organic content on Facebook, people can comment, like, view, save, share and skip them.

Xiaomi has been manufacturing televisions in India for several years. Every year, they up the ante and release something that blows the competition away, and in 2022, they appear to be on a mission to be even bigger number one in the category. The latest product to emerge from their Indian factories is the Redmi Smart TV X43, which we put through its paces. This is what we could make of Xiaomi‘s new-age TV.

Redmi Smart TV X43 review: Design
Xiaomi like the rest of the pack has also become more earth-conscious. They are using less and less plastics and more eco-friendly containers for their devices. Unpacking and setting up the Redmi Smart TV X43 is child’s play, yes there are some large plastics still present on the TV that you need to remove, but it has become less than before.
So let’s get into it and talk about the form factor. The Redmi Smart TV X43 is a brilliant looking TV that has a 43-inch, almost edge to edge, display. The bezel is super thin and it almost merges with the wall behind it. The Redmi branding can be seen under it and the indicator light is now white, not the usual red. This can be controlled to stay off/on via the settings menu.
The TV can easily be wall-mounted or kept on a table using the supplied V legs. At the back, you will find a lot of connectivity ports. These include three HDMI, USB, headphones that are side-mounted and downward-facing AV, Ethernet and Optical ports. The physical power off button is placed behind the LED indicator at the bottom.
The remote has also seen an upgrade. Well, it is still sleek, but with the Netflix and Prime video buttons, you will also get dedicated Disney+ Hotstar and Apps keys. These are good additions as people do watch a lot of Disney+ Hotstar, and geeks like us want to quickly get to the apps section instead of jogging through the menu.
Redmi Smart TV X43 review: Performance
The Redmi Smart TV X43 is a significant upgrade. There are a lot of good things happening in it. But first, let’s quickly get the tech specs out of the way. This smart TV has a 64-bit quad-core A55 CPU, Mali G52 MP2 GPU, 2 GB RAM (out of which 1.5 is available) and 16GB of internal storage for apps. 4K works at 60Hz refresh rate and what you essentially get is a better looking Android 10 driven system.
Thanks to this configuration, the scrolling and OS fluidity has become much better. Also, the users have the option to either use the Redmi PatchWall 4, which has good features and gives you a lot of personal recommendations. In case you like the vanilla Android 10 TV OS look, you can always go back to it at a press of a button. You do get pre-loaded apps like Netflix, Prime Video and Disney+Hotstar on the TV and more can easily be downloaded from the Play Store.
With it, there are a few other good free apps available too, like Live TV, which will stream news channels like Republic TV and ABP. If you want more you can always download the Zee5 app that has almost all the News Channels.
Now let’s talk about its main USP, the 4K HDR 10+ driven display. The Redmi Smart TV X43 also has Dolby Vision and Hybrid Log Gamma, which makes everything look very realistic and life-like. We loved every bit of this smart display. The colours are very vivid, blacks are super deep, and everything from sports to fast-paced action movies look super great on it. We played a lot of Netflix, Prime Video and YouTube content on it and Redmi Smart TV X43 never gave us a chance to bicker or find fault. As we said, it floored us.
And the experience becomes even better thanks to the 30W (15W x 2) downward-firing speakers with Dolby Audio. They are exceptionally loud and are great for bedrooms and large living rooms. We always kept the sound under 25 and from 12-14 feet, every word was audible. With that the remote also has a dedicated Google Assistant button, so you can voice command your TV to open or search for shows and movies. 9 out of 10 times the feature worked perfectly.
The Redmi Smart TV X43 supports dual-band Wi-Fi and Ethernet in case you want wired connectivity. We ran 100% of the review through Wi-Fi and the internet router was in another room 35 feet away and not once did we see a buffering signal. We even connected a wired USB Mouse to the TV and immediately it recognised it and a mouse pointer appeared on the TV screen. A mouse makes the browsing experience much better.
Another advantage of the Redmi Smart TV X43 is that its remote is Bluetooth 5 compatible. As a result, if you want to address the TV with the remote, you don’t need to point it at it. Simply press the buttons, and the TV will respond. Speaking of which, it is a simple remote with a circular dial for next, previous, up, and down. The middle section/button is used to execute or enter.
It works well in most situations, but when browsing a website, a remote with air mouse capabilities is preferable, so we used the wired mouse. However, this is not a disadvantage because 99 percent of people would rather watch TV shows than browse the internet, which it is perfect at. Oh, just in case you are wondering where the mute button is? Double press the reduce volume button on the remote and it will mute the Redmi Smart TV X43.
Verdict
We were able to search for any OTT show using voice command on PatchWall 4’s home screen. We liked it because it cut down on our search time, as we didn’t have to go to an app, then search, then go to another, and so on. When turned on, this TV consumes less than 100W of power. So, is it worthwhile to purchase the Redmi Smart TV X43 for Rs 28,999? That is a resounding yes. This TV has everything you could want in a budget-friendly 4K TV. If you prefer a larger screen, the same TV is also available in 50, 55, and 65-inch sizes (at extra cost). Overall, this is a promising start for Redmi TVs in India in 2022.
Redmi Smart TV X43 Pros
Excellent 4K display
Not expensive
Exceptional audio quality

In India, WhatsApp has a large user base of around 400 million people. As a result, the company has launched a dedicated centre/hub to outline the policies and processes it takes to ensure user safety in India dubbed as ‘Safety in India’. It is available as a standalone portal and highlights the advantages of employing end-to-end encryption and provides information on capabilities like two-step authentication and the option to add a security layer to safeguard WhatsApp communications using fingerprint or face recognition.“WhatsApp has made significant product changes to help enhance security and privacy. Besides continuous product innovations, over the years we have also consistently invested in state-of-the-art technology, artificial intelligence, data scientists, experts, and in processes, to support user safety” the help centre states.The ‘Safety in India’ resource centre contains subjects related to internet safety, privacy, and security. It contains information regarding end-to-end encryption, which is touted as a feature that helps safeguard a user’s messages, photographs, videos, voice messages and others.The resource hub also emphasises Touch ID or Face ID which offers its users the ability to add another layer of security to their accounts. In addition to this, it also highlights forward limits and additional limits to limit forwarding messaging and circulation of fake news through the platform.It further explains Block and reports a simple way for users to block accounts and make reports to WhatsApp if they encounter problematic messages. Whereas the Message level reporting will allow users to report accounts to WhatsApp by flagging a specific message. Users simply need to long-press a message to either report or block a user.Other privacy features like disappearing messages, view one, flash calls, admin controls, and end to end encrypted backup have been explained on the ‘Safety in India’ resource hub.To prevent abuse in India, WhatsApp has built specific Indian processes. A grievance officer has been appointed who can be contacted if a user has a concern about their experience and is unable to report it through other channels. In addition to this WhatsApp regularly releases its monthly report in India that highlights steps taken by us to ensure user safety on WhatsApp.The Meta owned instant messaging app states that it has zero tolerance for child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and other sexual abuse material.Also in order to address misinformation, the company also does fact-check which the app and according to WhatsApp in India 10 fact-checking organisations (as of February 2022) help to provide users with the service of verifying information through a WhatsApp bot. They are enabled through the WhatsApp API-platform solution and are accredited by the International Fact-Checking Network. IFCN’s bot is free of cost service. Users can save +1 (727) 2912606 as a contact number and text,”Hi” to get a message or information validated. Alternatively, our users can click http://poy.nu/ifcnbot to access a global directory of fact-checking organisations.The ‘Safety in India by WhatsApp’ also recommends carefully scrutinising messages that request sensitive information, money or other assistance, even if those messages initially appear to have been sent from known contacts. In such circumstances, it is best to verify that the message was in fact sent from someone known (for example, calling the contact who is the apparent sender and asking them if they’ve sent the request).Furthermore, the resource hub also gave clarifications on chat leaks. According to the app, end-to-end encryption technology used by WhatsApp helps to keep conversations private between a sender and a receiver for all personal messages in transit within WhatsApp to help protect against WhatsApp and third parties from reading them. In addition to this, it does not store messages once they are delivered or transaction logs of such delivered messages. Undelivered messages are deleted from our servers after 30 days.
