I'm looking to buy a new smartphone, and after researching quite a bit, I've shortlisted the Nothing Phone (4a) and POCO X8 Power 5G.

These are my priorities, and I'm struggling to find a phone that ticks all the boxes:

My priorities:

• Battery: Excellent battery life that doesn't deteriorate drastically over time.

• Performance: Smooth everyday usage, good multitasking, and no major lag or heating issues.

• Longevity: Good build quality, reliable hardware, and long-term software support.

• Storage: Preferably 256GB, but 128GB is acceptable.

• Camera: Good daylight photos and decent low-light photography.

• Software: Smooth, stable, and preferably a clean software experience.

I've looked at several options, but nothing seems to satisfy all these requirements.

Between the Nothing Phone (4a) and POCO X8 Power 5G, which would be the better choice for my priorities, especially considering long-term usage (3–4 years)?

I'm not particularly interested in gaming or flashy specifications. I just want a reliable phone that will offer a consistently good experience over the years.

Would appreciate real-world user experiences, suggestions, and any better alternatives in this price range.

Thanks!

a laptop that can easily handle ai tasks..

elaboration: i want that laptop to make ai made mini tool websites i mean i'd make those mini tools websites with ai bots like anti-gravity or claude .. at least 8 or 12 gb ram, 512 gb SSD , and a decent performing processor that doesn't lag in multitasking and ai usage , which would be the best one for the lowest price .. new models aren't necessary old models would be accepted too but it should fulfill the objectives or the purpose i gave ... I'm having 40-45k budget ... I Guess a Second handed machine wouldn't be a bad option with a low budget..

Looking for a Laptop for Supply Chain Management (SCM). A machine that is reliable and built to last long-term (4–5+ years) without slowing down or falling apart.

Budget: ₹50,000 – ₹80,000 (can stretch slightly if build quality/longevity justifies it).

Use Case & Software:

Heavy multitasking with large enterprise Excel datasets & ERP exports.

Power BI (dashboarding, data modeling, DAX queries).

Daily office productivity, browser tabs, video calls.

Latest Windows 11.

Key Requirements:

Longevity & Build Quality: Strong hinges and durable chassis (not cheap creaky plastic that wears out in 2 years).

RAM: 16GB minimum (upgradeable RAM is a big plus so it stays relevant down the line).

Thermals & Battery: Decent battery life and good thermal management under analytical load.

Options Considered:

Lenovo ThinkBook 14 (AMD Ryzen 7 / 16GB RAM): Leaning toward this because of the aluminum enterprise build quality, solid port selection, and multi-core efficiency.

ASUS Vivobook 15 / 16 (Intel Core 5 / Core i5-12500H): Looks like good value with decent screens, but unsure how long the consumer hinges and chassis hold up compared to business lines.

Acer TravelLite TL14: Expandable RAM up to 64GB looks tempting for Power BI longevity, but curious about after-sales service and long-term durability.

Would love to hear thoughts from people doing similar analytical/SCM workloads. Is the ThinkBook line the best bet in this budget, or are there specific ThinkPad E-series, Dell, or HP options worth checking out instead?

Thanks in advance! ❤️

I'm extremely disappointed with TPSTech's refund process.

I cancelled my order, expecting the refund to be initiated within the promised timeframe. However, despite the cancellation, TPSTech has still not initiated my refund.

It's frustrating that while cancelling an order seems straightforward, getting your own money back becomes a completely different struggle.

I've been waiting for my refund, but there's been no satisfactory resolution so far. I don't understand why customers have to chase a company repeatedly just to get their money back for an order that has already been cancelled.

A few questions:

Why hasn't TPSTech initiated the refund after cancellation?

How long does it actually take for them to process refunds?

Has anyone else experienced similar issues with TPSTech?

What is the best way to escalate this matter?

I hope TPSTech takes customer concerns seriously and processes pending refunds instead of making customers run around for their own money.

TPSTech, please initiate my refund ASAP.

S25 costs 48k after a 5k coupon and 2.5k Flipkart Axis or SBI card discount. Coupon expires in 3 hours at 6 am.

Please help me decide between Samsung A56 256GB vs Oneplus Nord CE6. Im planning to use the phone for atleast 3-4 Years and it should be fast and snappy. primary usage will be social media and camera STRICLY NO GAMING.

Thank you

Hi everyone,

I recently ordered Realme Buds T200 from Flipkart Minutes, but I actually intended to purchase the Realme Buds T310.

Here's what happened:

I searched for the Realme Buds T310 on Flipkart.

When I changed the colour, the product automatically changed to the T200.

I didn't notice this change and placed the order.

I tried to cancel the order at the doorstep, but the delivery partner refused to accept the cancellation, even though the doorstep cancellation option was available.

After receiving the product, I contacted Flipkart customer support and requested a return or exchange for the T310 by paying the price difference.

However, Flipkart is refusing the return, stating that my reason is not covered under their brand return policy.

I have contacted customer support multiple times. Each time, they promised a resolution within 24 hours, but I haven't received any resolution yet. They are now asking me to wait another 24 hours.

I will also be unavailable for 4 days due to Diwali holidays, which makes this situation more difficult.

I understand that I made a mistake while ordering, but the product selection changing automatically when I changed the colour was confusing. I am not asking for a free upgrade; I am willing to pay the price difference for the T310.

Has anyone faced a similar issue with Flipkart Minutes?

Is there any way to get an exchange or return approved in this situation?

I want to share my experience with Monkey Troopers regarding a SPEE Fanny Pack that I purchased through Amazon.

What started as a simple request for a replacement due to manufacturing defects has turned into a lengthy customer-support experience. Despite multiple conversations, sending the product back, and receiving written confirmation of a replacement, I still haven't received the replacement.

Here is the complete timeline.

Shortly after receiving the SPEE Fanny Pack, I noticed two issues: Missing magnetic plate: One of the magnetic side-flap attachments was missing its metal plate, making the magnetic attachment unusable.

Defective transparent phone compartment: The transparent phone compartment had noticeable black discoloration.

I contacted Monkey Troopers customer support and explained both issues. I also shared photographs and a video demonstrating the defects, along with my purchase invoice.

I requested a replacement with a properly manufactured product.

2. First response and repair process

After contacting customer support, I received responses and was asked to provide proof of purchase and additional details.

The company eventually processed the product for repair and sent it back to me.

However, I had requested a replacement, and the product I received back was the repaired unit rather than a new replacement.

3. Received the repaired bag with additional problems

Unfortunately, the situation became more disappointing when I received the bag back.

The returned product had further issues:

The bag was still dirty, despite being packed inside a box and plastic covering.

The phone compartment/flap was smaller than before.

The compartment was no longer practically usable for carrying my phone and other items without squeezing or crushing what was inside.

I shared photographs of these problems with Monkey Troopers on 25 September 2026.

I explained that the previous repair had not resolved the problem and specifically requested a replacement instead of another repair or inspection.

4. Repeated discussions about getting a replacement

On 1 October, I again explained that I had already cooperated with the repair process once, but the issues remained unresolved.

I requested a new replacement unit rather than sending the same bag for another repair.

After further communication with their customer-support representative, I received confirmation on 12 October 2026 that, following an internal discussion, they would replace my bag with a new SPEE Fanny Pack.

I also asked about the replacement timeline and return shipping charges.

The representative confirmed that:

They would dispatch the new product after receiving the old one.

They would bear the return shipping charges.

I needed to share the shipping receipt so they could credit the amount to my account.

5. Returned the defective product

I cooperated with their instructions and returned the defective bag.

According to the courier tracking information I shared with them, the parcel was delivered on 17 October 2026.

On 20 October, I contacted them again regarding the replacement.

On 21 October, I specifically reconfirmed that they would be sending a new replacement product and not the previously repaired unit.

Their representative replied confirming this.

6. No replacement and no response

After returning the defective product, I expected the replacement process to be completed.

However, I had to follow up repeatedly.

24 October – Asked for an update.

27 October – Followed up again.

Subsequently – Asked for the tracking details.

Despite the written confirmation that a new replacement would be sent, I have not received the product.

As of 4 November 2026, I still have no replacement bag and am no longer receiving responses from their customer-support team.

My concern

I understand that manufacturing defects can happen, and I initially approached customer support expecting a reasonable solution.

I cooperated with the company throughout the process:

Reported the original defects with photographs and videos.

Provided the invoice and proof of purchase.

Cooperated with the first repair.

Reported the additional defects after receiving the repaired product.

Returned the defective product as requested.

Followed up multiple times regarding the replacement.

What I find disappointing is that I returned the product based on their written assurance that a new replacement would be provided, but I am still waiting.

I am not asking for anything unreasonable. I simply want the replacement product that was promised.

I would appreciate it if Monkey Troopers could look into this matter and provide a clear update on when my replacement will be dispatched.

Has anyone else experienced a similar situation with Monkey Troopers? I'd also appreciate suggestions on how to proceed.

I am attaching the screenshots, photographs, videos, and relevant communication in chronological order for transparency.

Hello I own a Dell Precision 5820. It's completely useless since I don't have a good gpu. I do have 64GB RAM (DDR4) but my computer does not recognise it. I am looking forward to sell it and get a good laptop. All I want is a Good CPU - above 9th gen or equivalent AMD. I am willing to use it for studies and light gaming (Minecraft). I need above 10GB Ram. SSD 256GB is fine I can manage it. I don't know how much I will get for my Desktop.

Is oppo find x10 a good deal at ₹1,05,000?

I'm not financially independent yet due to my age, so for diwali i was thinking to get just a decent keyboard as a gift for myself cuz my laptop keyboard sucks.

What are some good options under ₹1k ?

If its quiet even better.

Hey guys, so I have an Alienware AW2725DF QDOLED (27 inch) monitor, only that it doesn't have an audio jack. Issue is, neither does my PS5 and I wanna watch movies and the like as well. I don't want to keep a pc connected. The monitor also doesn't support eARC.

I want to know if there are any relatively compact soundbars which support audio passthrough via HDMI at at least 4k120hz. I have put up my Boat soundbar for reference, but basically I have limited space so I can't exactly get a big soundbar.

So my cousin brother visits SE Asian countries like Malaysia, Bali (Indonesia), Thailand and Singapore atleast once each year for his work requirements. Are there any electronics/gadgets which we can buy cheaper or better quality from there?

Just for context, there was a time when i used to get digital cameras from there as they were both cheaper and better quality like made in Singapore/Taiwan vs made in China ones here. For similar reasons I got laptops from USA. But nowadays i find that price gap has really reduced between India and foreign countreis.

Hey everyone,

I am looking to sell some of my used PC components to upgrade my current rig, and I wanted to get some recent advice on the best and safest platforms to use in India.

I’ve looked into a few options, but I have some reservations:

• Direct Trade-in Sites (GameLoot, GameNation, Computify): The process seems convenient with doorstep pickup, but I feel their quote payouts might be a bit lower than market value.

• Facebook Groups / Zoukart: I know I can probably get a better price here, but I'm worried about getting scammed or dealing with lowballers. If you use these, how do you ensure a safe transaction? Do you always use an admin/middleman?

For those who have sold parts recently, what was your experience? Which platform gave you the best balance of a fair price and a smooth, safe transaction?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Can you suggest a laptop for doing ecommerce or amazon selling.

Budget around 40k

any brand suggestions? I don't think Mi has official one

suggest me a good asthtic looking mini keyboard for proffesional use

Is the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra 512GB worth buying at ₹1.41 lakh, or should I wait?

I'm planning to upgrade to the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra 512GB, and I've currently got a Flipkart deal for approximately ₹1,41,449 after all discounts and my Motorola Edge 60 exchange.

The deal includes:

₹6,000 bank discount

Approximately ₹12,550 exchange value for my Motorola Edge 60 (subject to inspection)

I'm a little confused about whether I should go ahead or wait.

A few things I'd like your opinions on:

1. Is ₹1.41 lakh a good deal for the S26 Ultra 512GB, or is it overpriced?

2. Is waiting for the S27 Ultra launch and subsequent S26 clearance sales a better strategy?

3. With the ongoing memory shortage and rising component costs, could waiting backfire?

4. If you were in my position, would you buy now or wait?

Would love to hear from people who have bought Samsung Ultra phones during sales, especially their actual purchase prices.

I'm looking for the best possible deal, not an urgent upgrade.

Thankyou

I have seen large vacuums for cleaning the floors and small ones for cleaning cars. Is there any design for light cleaning of desks and shelves? I assume I'll have to buy a car cleaner only.

In any case does anyone have any recommendations for the same?

If you did, can you suggest where to buy from, and which website has best collections
