The Pixel 7 is said to anonymize data, limit data collecting, and limit access to data. Therefore, all processing for features like Live Translate and others is done locally on the device, not in the cloud. You can use the Pixel 7 to determine if you snore at night.
Later this year, Google One VPN will be available for the new Pixel series. It is unclear if users in India would also have access to these tools.
The Pixel 7 features a 6.3-inch OLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate. Whereas the Pixel Pro comes with a 6.7-inch Quad-HD LTPO OLED display with a variable refresh rate of 120Hz.
The Pixel 7’s voice assistant will now be more intelligent. When you are typing, emojis will automatically propose themselves. The Pixel 7’s most crucial feature will be its ability to instantly translate audio messages. Speaker labels will be added to the Pixel 7’s recorder app as well.
With the new Google Photos feature Photo Unblur, which is exclusively available on the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro, you can give your memories fresh life with a few simple taps. Therefore, you will be able to correct any fuzzy images that you may have taken with a different camera.
A 50-megapixel primary sensor and a 12-megapixel secondary sensor with an ultra-wide-angle lens are both featured in the Pixel 7 Pro. Additionally, Pro has a 48-megapixel telephoto lens that supports 5x optical and 30x Super Resolution Zoom. Both handsets have a selfie camera with a resolution of 10.8 megapixels. According to Google, the new “Macro Focus” function in the Pixel 7 Pro would enable users to take up-close pictures of items.
The Cinematic Blur video uses software to power this capability and will guarantee portrait-style video with a background that is blurred but a subject that is in perfect focus. Google appears to be enhancing the Zoom capabilities of the Pixel 7 series. For a 2X zoom, the Super Res Zoom delivers a 12.5-megapixel image on the 50-megapixel camera.
The Pixel 7 supports both wireless and rapid wired charging, and Google’s Extreme Battery Saver mode is said to extend battery life to up to 72 hours. The Pixel 7 Pro, on the other hand, supports both wireless charging and quick cable charging. According to the manufacturer, the smartphone can provide up to 72 hours of battery life when the Extreme Battery Saver mode is used.

To the left of the battery icon, you’ll find the signs for the cellular network, mobile data, and WiFi. Similar to the battery icon, the network icons reflect the strength of the network connection. The cellular network is typically represented by four vertical bars of increasing heights. The number of bars displayed in white represents the strength of the network connection.
Next to the network bars, you’ll notice a sign that says VoLTE. This means you can make voice calls over the LTE network. The vertical arrows in opposite directions represent the mobile data connection and are only displayed when you turn on the mobile data on your device. You can also choose to display the connection speed right next to this icon.
Other network icons you’ll find displayed on the status bar include WiFi, WiFi hotspot, and Bluetooth. These icons only appear when those functions are in use.
These alerts are easy to recognise. You may have noticed the phone icon that appears when you’re on call. There’s a similar phone icon with an arrow diverting from it, which signifies a missed call. If you ever try out WiFi calling you’ll see a WiFi sign with the phone icon integrated into it.
Besides call signs, the status bar also has unique symbols for the volume setting on your phone. If your phone is on silent the status bar will display a muted speaker. If it’s on vibrate, the speaker will be accompanied by the vibration waves icon. A clock icon means you have set up active alarm(s) on your phone.
Apart from all the major icons mentioned above, there is a range of other symbols that get displayed on the status bar from time to time. Certain icons appear only appear when your use the corresponding function on the phone.

A similar remote to the Acer I series is found in the box of the Acer H Series Smart TVs box. You can pair the remote with the TV using Bluetooth and at first start, the TV will ask you to do so. Just keep the remote under 1 meter of the TV to connect it without any hassles. Then you can move it around up to 30 meters to access the TV. The remote is well designed and has all the essential keys, including shortcuts to Netflix, YouTube, Disney Plus and Amazon Prime Video.
The Acer H Series Smart TV we are reviewing is a 50-inch 4K display. There are two other models also available – 43-inch and 55-inch (these support 4K viewing too). The smart TV is almost frameless with virtually no borders at the top and sides. You get a thick silver border at the bottom, which adds to the show and also sports the Acer branding. This also hides the downward-firing 60W speakers behind it.
Spin the TV around and you will find a lot of connectivity options. These include two USB 2.0, one USB 3.0, AV, Ethernet, three HDMI and one 3.5mm aux port for headphones on the right side. The power port can be found on the left side of the back panel. The back is made up of plastic and seems sturdy to be mounted on the wall.

The Android TV 11 OS supports all the OTT apps and the popular ones like Netflix, Prime Video etc are already present on the device. More can be downloaded from the Play Store. Thanks to the 2GB RAM in this smart TV the OS experience was lag free for us. Acer H Series Smart TV did not hang even when 3-4 OTT apps were open in the background.
The sound does perfect justice to the super bright LED screen. In the price bracket, users usually get 20-30W speakers, but with 60W, you will end up getting a lot of good audio vibes to you in a virtual surround sound setup. As we said, the audio is tuned by Dolby Atmos so that the virtual effect can be felt through the speakers. The settings menu is filled with good options for the users to customise the screen according to their viewing preferences, too.
In operation mode, the TV consumes 120W of power which is usual in this segment.

Additionally, we cannot express how much we adore this alert slider, which is particularly useful during meetings. One thing that we were not in particularly awe of is its camera module. When you look at them attentively, you will notice that they are not symmetrical since they are randomly arranged inside two large circles, which in our opinion is odd. Please share your opinion of the design in the comments area below since the form factor and design are subjective, did you like its rear? Remember that the OnePlus Nord 2 has a cleaner camera location and fewer ringlets than the 2T, which we found more attractive.
Be aware that the Nord 2T’s glass panel attracts fingerprints. If you decide to use the phone without a cover, as we did, keep a microfibre towel at hand to wipe it down during the day because it picks up fingerprints very easily. We reviewed the phone in Jade Fog shade, a sort of mint green colour option that looks beautiful and expensive, but we would have preferred a matte finish over the shiny glass finish. Another version of this phone, the Gray Shadow, has a matte back and looks pretty beautiful if you enjoy matte finishes as we do.
In order to increase durability, OnePlus has added Gorilla Glass 5 protection to both the front and back of the smartphone. However, the mid-frame, which has rounded corners, is built of polycarbonate, yet is very premium.
Additionally, the power and volume buttons provide really pleasant tactile feedback, which makes using this gadget pretty pleasant and easy to reach. Over that, the display contains an optical fingerprint reader that functions fairly well.
Regarding the display, the OnePlus Nord 2T 5G features a 6.43-inch full-HD+ AMOLED display with a hole-punch design and a resolution of 1,080 x 2,400 pixels. It comes with a 20:9 aspect ratio, a 90Hz refresh rate, and HDR10+ certification.
In addition to being well built and designed, this phone has the same display as the Nord 2 and we had no qualms here. The colours are pretty vibrant, the contrast is excellent, and the display quality is really amazing. The company has also done a good job of optimising the 90Hz refresh rate; we haven’t experienced any stutters, so that’s also nice.
Here, we’d like to point out that many smartphones in this price range feature a 120Hz refresh rate, thus given that this device is the successor to the OnePlus Nord 2, it would have been a boon if OnePlus had used 120Hz display instead of 90Hz.
Another issue we found, when we played Genshin Impact for long was that the OnePlus Nord 2 started to get hot. However, when we played other games this was not the case.
Other typical functions, including multitasking and accessing apps, run smoothly on this device. Also, both the typing experience and the vibration feedback are also pretty pleasant. Because of the OS’s careful optimization, the OnePlus Nord 2T’s overall performance has been satisfactory.
The software experience is still OnePlus’s biggest selling point. The UI of the OnePlus Nord 2T 5G, which runs OxygenOS 12.1, functioned without any glitches. Except for Netflix, there isn’t much-preinstalled bloatware. Additionally, according to OnePlus, 2 years of OS updates and 2 years of security fixes will be available.
Let’s have a look at the camera tech specs of the OnePlus Nord 2T before comparing it to the OnePlus Nord 2, which was released last year and had fairly strong cameras.
With a 50-megapixel Sony IMX766 primary sensor and an optical image stabilisation (OIS)-capable f/1.8 lens, the phone sports a triple back camera array. The camera setup also includes an 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera with a 120-degree field of view and a 2-megapixel monochrome sensor with an f/2.2 lens. A 32-megapixel Sony IMX615 camera with an f/2.4 lens is located on the front of the OnePlus Nord 2T 5G for taking selfies and making video calls.
As you can see, the daylight captures have decent detail and sharpness levels. Most of the time, the colours are realistic and don’t oversaturate the pictures. However, occasionally, the sharpness was less of a concern and could have been better. Overall, the dynamic range appears to be good; there is nothing to be concerned about.
Since we were testing the cameras during monsoon and it was mostly cloudy where we were, we were unable to test the cameras in really intense sunlight.
Moving on to the ultra wide-angle camera, it should be noted that while the photographs contain respectable detail, the sharpness levels are plainly not as good as would be expected from an 8MP sensor. Comparatively speaking to the primary sensor, colour reproduction has been handled fairly well. The ultrawide sensor is therefore usable but not of the best quality seen from Oneplus.
Moving on to the close-up photographs, you get good details and the pictures are sharp. The colours are generally executed properly and do not oversaturate pictures. This phone lacks the macro sensor that is present in many other phones in this price range.
Low-light photographs taken indoors under artificial lighting also appear well-done where noise levels are kept to a minimum. A night mode is available for use in extremely dim lighting situations, providing well-lit, detailed photographs. Once more, the new AI engine helps to some extent manage the noise. The primary camera has OIS, which enhances the photos in low light.
Moving on to selfies, the 32MP front sensor likewise produces good-quality images. There are plenty of details, and the sharpness levels are excellent. Also wonderfully done was the skin tone. There is a night mode for selfies, and the low-light selfies turned out to be good as well. In terms of edge detection, the portrait mode performs admirably overall, too.
The video recording follows next; it can capture videos in 4K at 30fps with perhaps only OIS on the offer. Although the resolution is outstanding, the colours appear to be a little overexposed, which is typical of most 4K movie modes. Because there is no EIS present, it is not advised for moving footage. In terms of colour and motion accuracy, 1080p at 60 frames per second is better than 4K because it supports EIS and does a decent job with the hues.
Additionally, 1080p at 30 frames per second supports EIS too and looks beautiful all around with accurate colour reproduction. The video also appears to be stabilised well and has acceptable crispness. The ultra wide-angle camera may also be used in 1080p mode, and it has decent visual quality, despite the fact that EIS was not operating in this mode. The phone can slow down video up to 72dB at 960 frames per second or 1080p resolution. The OnePlus Nord 2T’s front-facing camera sample can capture videos in 1080p HD.
The camera on the OnePlus Nord 2T is the same as the one on the Nord 2, which was released last year, and the results are essentially the same. The primary camera produces good portraits, close-up photos when used in the daylight and good low-light photos. Also attractive are the selfies. Although users won’t be dissatisfied, the phone’s cameras aren’t going to really amaze you. They are sufficient for the majority of situations.
The 4,500mAh dual-cell battery inside the OnePlus Nord 2T can be fast charged at 80W using the included charger. According to OnePlus, the battery can be charged from 1% to 60% in under 15 minutes, which is roughly accurate to the company’s promise. In our tests, the phone took 15 minutes to charge from 1% to 66%. So it finished charging in approximately 28 minutes. Therefore, it took the gadget 28 minutes to charge to 100%. With such good rapid charging, you can simply charge in a few minutes even if your battery dies.
Last but not least, we’re not overly satisfied with Nord 2T’s speaker quality. The highs sound quite crisp and the audio is not balanced, but they are loud and there is no distortion at the loudest volumes either. They’re fine for occasionally watching movies and other things, but if you listen to a lot of music, you’ll find that their audio quality is only fair. Maybe the next iteration of the phone can have better loudspeakers.
The tablet has 8.0-megapixel (RGB) front and back cameras, a 7,700mAh battery, and comes pre-packaged with a 20W fast charger. Both models include four Dolby Atmos-capable speakers and a 3.5mm headphone jack. A pen stylus, however, is not included in the selling box.
As we said earlier the Android Tablet comes with dedicated features for kids therefore there is Google Kids Space. It is a mode specifically created for kids that offers content filters, safety settings, and privacy protection for kids while they find and install programmes. Kids may explore and learn from the apps, books, and movies in the specialised mode.
Lenovo Tab M10 Plus Gen 3 tablet comes with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage for the WiFi and LTE variant. The price of both the models is set at RS 19,999 and Rs 21,999 respectively. The Android tablet will be available in two colour options of Frost Blue and Strom Grey.
According to the business, the Tab M10 Plus Gen 3 tablet is currently on sale through the company’s official website and Amazon.in and will soon be made available through more offline retail channel partners.
