For years, many of us in the tech media fraternity have confidently recommended Amazon over other retailers in India. The reason was pretty simple: Amazon’s reputation for stellar customer service and hassle-free resolution of issues.
But lately, for some reason, I’ve been hearing an increasing number of complaints regarding the brand’s customer service and resolution offers.
And a couple of weeks ago, I personally had to go through with something similar.
The Incident: Car Polish Instead of Headphones
In March, my sister reached out to me for recommendations on a cheap pair of headphones. For someone who has personally used the OnePlus neckband earphones before, my recommendation was pretty straightforward – get a pair of the OnePlus Bullets Z2 Earbuds. And I was the one who asked her to go with Amazon since I was confident that there wouldn’t be any issues and even if there were, it would be handled properly.
But imagine our shock when, upon opening the package, she discovered not the Z2 earphones that she had ordered but a box of car polish instead.
The mix-up was so absurd it would be comical if not for the frustrating aftermath.
When she called me, honestly, I was laughing. We have seen such cases before, but I never thought I would hear this about an Amazon shipment.
But immediately, I asked her to report it to Amazon customer service; I assured her not to worry. “It’s Amazon, not some other retailer,” I told her confidently. “They’ll sort this out without any hassle.”
My confidence was clearly misplaced.
The Response: “Nothing Can Be Done”
After what Amazon claimed was a thorough “investigation,” my sister received a stunning response: nothing could be done about the mix-up.
This was not merely disappointing; it was shocking. The fundamental principle of retail is that the customer should receive what they pay for. If they don’t, the retailer has an obligation to make it right—regardless of where in the supply chain the error occurred.
I personally had a chat with one of their executives, and they said our fulfillment center placed the item in the box properly. So we can’t do anything about it.
Now, I checked the box – there was no visible damage that could have hinted at any kind of tampering when we accepted the package. No holes, or visible patch-up work. No evidence that could have forced us to not accept the shipment.
So Amazon’s refusal to acknowledge this basic responsibility represents a troubling shift in their approach to customer service, at least in the Indian market.
The end result — my sister has a nice car polish instead of a pair of earphones.
A Matter of Trust
Honestly, I’m just glad that this was with a relatively inexpensive item. But it definitely shatters my trust in Amazon and its delivery service. Imagine if I had ordered a phone from Amazon (which I have done and recommended plenty of times before).
Like many Amazon customers, I’ve developed such trust in their service that I often leave packages unopened for days after delivery, confident that:
Mix-ups are extremely rare with Amazon
If a genuine issue occurs, their support team would promptly resolve it
That confidence has now been shattered.
If Amazon can simply wash their hands of responsibility for delivering the wrong product, what does this mean for customers purchasing higher-value items?
The Broader Concern: Industry Standards Slipping?
What’s particularly concerning is that Amazon has long set the gold standard for customer service in e-commerce. If they’re lowering their standards, what can consumers expect from other platforms that have historically offered less robust customer protection?
The message seems clear: the burden of verification is shifting increasingly to the consumer. In an era of fast-paced deliveries and increasing automation, customers can no longer assume what’s inside the package matches what was ordered—even from retailers they’ve trusted for years.
It is now your duty to ensure that the package contains the right product.
Protecting Yourself: What Consumers Should Do?
In light of this experience, here are some precautions I now recommend to all online shoppers:
Open and inspect all packages immediately upon delivery even for retailers like Amazon, ideally while the delivery person is still present.
Record unboxing videos for high-value items as evidence.
Check the packaging for signs of tampering before accepting delivery.
Save all order confirmation emails and screenshots of your purchases.
Document any communication with customer service in writing.
The Bottom Line: Trust But Verify
For years, I’ve enthusiastically recommended Amazon to my readers, friends, and family. While I won’t stop using their services, I’ll certainly be more cautious with my Amazon orders. More importantly, I can no longer recommend them with the same confidence I once did.
Genuine and excellent customer support was Amazon’s biggest selling point in a competitive market. It appears that this advantage may be eroding, and consumers would be wise to adjust their expectations accordingly.
Whether this incident represents an isolated failure or a broader policy shift remains to be seen. What’s clear is that even with the most trusted retailers, the age-old advice applies more than ever: trust, but verify.
Have you experienced similar issues with Amazon or other online retailers?
Samsung will begin rolling out the stable One UI 7 update starting next week in many countries. As anyone would expect, premium devices will receive the update first, and then mid-range and budget devices will join the party.
While Samsung has not officially announced the One UI 7 rollout timeline for Galaxy A-series phones, it shouldn’t take long once the initial rollout begins. This major release brings a host of new features and improvements, making Galaxy users eager to receive the update. But is your Samsung Galaxy device eligible for the One UI 7 upgrade? Review the list below to find out.

Samsung has yet to release an official list of Galaxy devices set to receive One UI 7. But then how did we create this list? Well, we did this by analyzing the software update policy for all Galaxy A-series devices. While not official, it is unlikely to differ significantly from Samsung’s final announcement.
Samsung has confirmed that the One UI 7 rollout will begin on April 7. While most countries will receive the update on this date, some regions, including the US and Canada, will have to wait until April 10. Users in Malaysia and Singapore will experience a further delay, with the rollout beginning there on April 14.
The update will first arrive on the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy Z Fold 6, and Galaxy Z Flip 6. However, later in April, it will also reach dozens of other Galaxy devices such as the Galaxy S24 FE, Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy Tab S10 series, and more. You can click here the complete list of devices scheduled to receive the update in April.
Interestingly, Samsung’s current rollout plan does not mention any Galaxy A-series devices, which suggests they may not receive the update this month. However, given that the Galaxy A55 is part of the One UI 7 beta program, there’s a possibility it could receive the update this month alongside high-end phones. That said, given the overall delays in the One UI 7 rollout, we wouldn’t count on it just yet.
We’ll know more about the One UI 7 rollout timeline in the coming days. Stay tuned and regularly visit our One UI 7 section for the latest news and updates.

The Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) is a popular budget-friendly smartphone that offers excellent value for its price. It features a high-quality screen, a good camera setup, and an octa-core processor. The battery lasts more than a day, and most importantly, it brings wireless charging support and a built-in stylus that we typically don’t see in budget phones.
The Galaxy A35 isn’t without its benefits. It’s an excellent mid-range option with longer software support, strong battery backup, and capable cameras. It costs $100 more than the Moto G Stylus 5G. So, is it worth spending the extra $100, or is the Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) still the better deal? Here, we break down the differences to help you make a better decision.
Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) vs Samsung Galaxy A35: Design and build
Both smartphones have clean, modern aesthetics. The Galaxy A35 has slightly thicker bezels and more rounded corners, which results in a lower screen-to-body ratio compared to the Moto G Stylus 5G. The selfie cutout also takes more space on the Samsung phone.
The Galaxy A35 features Gorilla Glass Victus+ for added protection, while the Moto G Stylus 5G has a vegan leather back, giving it a more premium feel and better resistance to fingerprints compared to the glass back of the Galaxy A35.
Additionally, the Galaxy A35 is IP67-rated for dust and water resistance, whereas the Motorola phone lacks an IP rating. The Samsung phone is also a little heavier and thicker.
On top of everything, the Moto G Stylus 5G has a built-in stylus, which is rare among budget phones. This unlocks a whole new level of creativity and makes the device more senior-friendly. The Galaxy A35 doesn’t have a stylus.
Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) vs Samsung Galaxy A35: Display
Both smartphones have flat, high-quality displays with 120Hz refresh rate support and almost the same screen resolutions. However, there are some key differences as well. For instance, the Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) supports 10-bit color depth, whereas the Galaxy A35 supports 8-bit color depth. This means the Motorola phone can show a wider range of colors for a more immersive viewing experience.
The Motorola phone’s screen is a little bigger, at 6.7 inches (vs. 6.6 inches on the Galaxy A35). Additionally, it has a higher peak brightness for better visibility outdoors.
Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) vs Samsung Galaxy A35: Performance and software
The Motorola smartphone has the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset at its heart, whereas the Samsung Galaxy A35 is driven by the in-house Exynos 1380. While both chips use the same CPU cores, those in the Exynos chip run at a higher speed, offering additional performance boost.
The Mali-G68 MP5 GPU inside the Exynos 1380 also performs better than the Adreno 710 GPU inside the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1. Here are benchmarking scores to give you a better picture:

On all three benchmarking platforms that we tested both phones on, the Samsung phone comes at the top.
Overall, the Galaxy A35 offers better performance, but the Moto G Stylus 5G still provides a smooth, lag-free experience for everyday tasks like browsing, messaging, and scrolling through social media feeds.
The software support goes entirely in favor of Samsung, thanks to its impressive update policy. The Galaxy A35 promises four generations of OS updates, whereas the Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) will get just one. This has been a long-standing problem with Motorola phones. Newer models, however, do come with extended software support.
Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) vs Samsung Galaxy A35: Camera
The Motorola phone’s cameras have been upgraded from its predecessor. The 50MP primary camera now comes with OIS support. While it doesn’t match Google Pixels, the shots are nice and detailed in daylight. However, the low-light performance is just okay-ish.
The Galaxy A35’s primary camera also retains good details and produces share-worthy shots when there’s sufficient light but struggles with low-light shots. It has an 8MP ultrawide camera, while the Motorola phone has a 13MP ultrawide sensor.
The Galaxy A35 also has a 2MP macro shooter, which is just useless. The Motorola phone doesn’t have a dedicated macro camera but instead uses the 13MP ultrawide sensor to achieve good macro shots, which look way better than the Galaxy A35.
Motorola phone takes good selfie photos and videos with its 32MP camera. The Galaxy A32 features an 8MP selfie camera that can also take decent photos and videos. As for the video quality, both smartphones support 4K recording using front and rear cameras.
Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) vs Samsung Galaxy A35: Battery and charging
While both phones have the same 5,000mAh battery capacity, the battery backup isn’t the same as it depends on various factors such as chip efficiency, software optimizations, and more. In our case, the Moto G Stylus 5G (2025) comes at the top with an extra hour of battery life over the Galaxy A35. However, the Samsung phone lasts a little longer when gaming. Both phones comfortably last for at least a day, though.
Additionally, the Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) supports 30W wired charging, whereas the Galaxy A35 peaks at 25W. However, both take nearly one and a half hours to reach 100%. The Motorola phone also benefits from 15W wireless charging support. The Samsung phone doesn’t let you power it wirelessly.
Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) vs Samsung Galaxy A35: Misc
The Samsung phone has better connectivity features. It brings Wi-Fi 6 support for enhanced speed and efficiency. It should also provide better Wi-Fi performance in crowded spaces. The Galaxy A35 also supports a newer Bluetooth standard, which offers better connection stability and data transmission.
Another plus point for the Motorola phone is the 3.5mm headphone jack, which is absent on the Galaxy A35.
Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) vs Samsung Galaxy A35: Which one should you buy?
The Motorola phone offers a high-quality display experience, decent camera performance, and slightly better battery life. Its standout features include a built-in stylus, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and wireless charging support—none of which are found on the Galaxy A35.
On the other hand, the Galaxy A35 is more durable with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+ and an IP67 rating. It also delivers faster performance, longer OS updates, and better connectivity with newer Bluetooth and Wi-Fi standards.
If durability and long-term software support are your top priorities, the Galaxy A35 is the better choice. Otherwise, the Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) offers great value and saves you around $120.
Samsung showcased the Galaxy S25 Edge a while back, but there was no official word regarding the ultra slim flagship’s launch. Recent reports had hinted at the upcoming premium smartphone launching later this month, although a fresh report hints otherwise.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge launch delayed
The South Korean tech giant’s original launch timeline of April might have been delayed, as per an ETNews report. Samsung might be pushing behind the Galaxy S25 Edge’s release by a month or two, with the new release timeline sometime between May and June 2025. India was originally expected to announce the ultra slim flagship on 15th April 2025, but changes in leadership might be the reason behind the delayed launch.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge
The report claims that the leadership changes within the brand’s MX division are the primary reason behind the announcement being postponed. If this is true, then the delay isn’t due to any production or quality related issues. Samsung has reportedly informed three telecom carriers, confirming that it will sell the Galaxy S25 Edge in South Korea around this new launch window. Notably, the company could be planning on unveiling the specifications, pricing, and release dates during an online event.
Based on what we know so far, this model is expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy SoC. But one of its highlighting aspect is its thin design paired with a titanium alloy frame and a 2K AMOLED display. A small 3,900mAh battery pack might power this model, which could support a disappointing 25W wired fast charging. The rear has a dual camera setup, which could have a 200MP main sensor.

Acer’s new Nitro XV240 F6 monitor is officially on sale in China, and if you’re serious about competitive gaming, this 24-inch beast might just be overkill in the best way. First announced back in September, the monitor is finally available at 5,989 yuan (roughly $830), and it’s bringing some serious speed to the table—literally.
Acer Nitro XV240 F6 Monitor Specifications
The headline feature here is the overclocked 600Hz refresh rate when connected via DisplayPort. That’s well beyond the 240Hz limit you’ll get over HDMI, and it puts the XV240 F6 in rare company. Acer is clearly targeting esports players and twitchy shooter fans who want to squeeze every frame out of their system. Pair that with a 0.1ms GtG response time, and you’ve got one of the fastest displays on the market right now.
The display itself is a 24.1-inch Full HD TN panel, with 1920 x 1080 resolution and support for 95% of the DCI-P3 color gamut—surprisingly good color coverage for a TN screen. Acer’s also claiming wide 170-degree viewing angles and a 1000:1 contrast ratio, so this isn’t your old-school washed-out TN experience. It’s also VESA DisplayHDR 400 certified, and can hit peak brightness levels of up to 350 nits.
AMD FreeSync Premium is onboard for smoother, tear-free gaming, and there are a couple of 2W speakers built-in for basic audio output. I/O is solid: two HDMI 2.0 ports, one DisplayPort 1.4, and a standard 3.5mm audio jack. The stand is fully adjustable—height, tilt, swivel, and pivot—and there’s support for 100x100mm VESA mounting if you want to clean up your desk setup.
Design-wise, Acer keeps it aggressive with red accents, slim bezels for multi-monitor setups, and smart thermal design to keep everything cool during long sessions. And for those who grind for hours, Acer’s included its usual set of eye-care features—flicker-free backlighting, low blue light tech, and a matte ComfyView coating to keep glare in check.
In related news, Acer launched two new QD-OLED gaming monitors yesterday — the Predator X32 X2 and X27U X1 — offering 240Hz refresh rates, ultra-low 0.03ms response times, and vivid color performance. The X32 X2 features a 31.5-inch 4K panel, while the more compact X27U X1 delivers WQHD visuals and stronger built-in audio.

Yesterday, OnePlus confirmed that it will launch the OnePlus 13T, a compact flagship smartphone, later this month in China. Li Jie, President of OnePlus China, has begun teasing the device, highlighting a major upgrade in battery capacity. His latest revelation indicates that the OnePlus 13T will feature a battery rated at over 6,000mAh, setting a new benchmark for small-sized flagship phones.
OnePlus 13T may pack a 6,200mAh battery
OnePlus 13T battery size teased
As per a recent Weibo post by tipster Digital Chat Station, the OnePlus 13T will house a 6,200mAh battery. Rumors surrounding the device suggest that it may support 80W fast charging. It is speculated that the Oppo device with model number PKX110, which was spotted with an 80W charger at China’s 3C certification, could be the upcoming OnePlus 13T. At present, it is unclear whether the device will offer wireless charging support.
Despite its focus on battery efficiency, OnePlus does not seem to have cut corners on performance. The OnePlus 13T will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, offering top-tier processing capabilities like recent flagships. Additionally, the smartphone is said to include OnePlus’ gaming-focused engine, which dynamically adjusts CPU and GPU frequencies to enhance gaming performance.
OnePlus 13T mock render
The OnePlus 13T is designed with a 6.3-inch flat 1.5K display, featuring ultra-narrow bezels and a boxy frame.

Smart glasses aren’t just a tech gimmick anymore—in 2025, they’re smarter, sleeker, and far more useful than their earlier iterations. What used to be bulky experiments have evolved into real-world wearables with functional cameras, voice assistants, and even augmented reality (AR) overlays. Whether you’re capturing moments hands-free, translating foreign text on the fly, or navigating city streets with digital directions floating in your view, smart glasses with built-in cameras are finally ready for the spotlight.
We’ve rounded up the best smart glasses with cameras available or announced in 2025, diving into the features that actually matter: camera performance, comfort, battery life, smart features, and how well they blend into everyday life. From Meta and Ray-Ban’s fashion-first approach to TCL’s futuristic AR spectacles, here are the most compelling options on the market.
Meta and Ray-Ban’s second-gen collaboration nails the wearable balance of tech and style. These are the most approachable smart glasses you can buy—they look like actual Ray-Bans, yet pack some serious smarts.
The dual 12MP cameras can shoot 1080p video up to 60 seconds and take surprisingly sharp first-person photos. Perfect for social moments, the camera is tailored more for lifestyle than pro use, and that’s fine. What sets these glasses apart is the seamless integration with Meta’s social ecosystem. Snap a pic and it’s already halfway to your Instagram story.
Battery life hits about four hours per charge, extendable up to 32 hours with the sleek charging case. Open-ear audio with five microphones allows for music, calls, and Meta AI voice commands. You can literally ask it to describe what you’re seeing—a neat but occasionally spotty trick.
These glasses are a hit for a reason: they blend fashion and function, and they do it better than any others in the space. They’re not perfect—the camera won’t beat your phone’s, and privacy concerns still linger—but they are the most mainstream-friendly option by far.
Solos AirGo Vision throws out the rulebook with a design focused entirely on AI. Forget video capture—this pair has dual 5MP cameras meant for visual queries, not cinematography. They don’t record video, only stills, and even then, it’s mostly so ChatGPT (GPT-4o, to be specific) can analyze your surroundings.
The standout feature? Built-in ChatGPT vision. You ask what you’re looking at, and it responds with contextual info: that’s a 19th-century cathedral, that’s the price of this menu item in dollars, that’s how you walk to the nearest pharmacy. This is AI-first eyewear that sees the world and narrates it back to you.
Battery life is excellent—10 hours for music, up to 16 hours if you’re mostly using it for AI queries. You can detach the camera arms for a more incognito look, a clever privacy move that’s lacking on other models.
Downsides? Audio quality is thin, and the cameras are barely usable for personal photos. But for travelers, language learners, or accessibility needs, AirGo Vision is quietly revolutionary.
Rokid isn’t as well-known as Meta or TCL, but their 2025 smart glasses might be the best-kept secret in the space. These are everyday AR glasses built for utility: light, wearable, and filled with just enough smart features to feel futuristic without overstepping into gimmick territory.
Their single 12MP camera captures photos and videos while supporting visual search and live translation. They’re not trying to be cinematic—they’re trying to be helpful, and they succeed. The green monochrome AR HUD subtly overlays text, arrows, or captions in your field of view. Think subtitles for real life, or arrows guiding you to your meeting room.
The weight? Just 49 grams. The battery lasts all day with the help of a case that can top them up ten times over. They don’t look like a headset; they look like, well, glasses. And they work.
Voice assistant support, posture tracking, teleprompter mode—there’s a whole productivity toolkit here. And while the AR display isn’t as immersive as TCL’s full-color panels, it’s far more practical for everyday use. Rokid hits the sweet spot between utility and wearability.
The RayNeo X3 Pro is the smart glasses equivalent of a concept car you can actually drive. These are high-end AR glasses with a focus on vivid, immersive visuals. They aren’t trying to disappear on your face—they’re trying to show you the future.
With an estimated 12MP camera and support for AR scene recognition, real-time translation, and environment scanning, the X3 Pro is more HoloLens than Wayfarer. It runs a standalone Android-based OS and doesn’t need your phone to function. You can speak, swipe, and summon floating UIs in your field of vision. The 2500-nit micro-LED display is easily the best here, bright enough for daylight and colorful enough to render rich AR overlays.
The catch? Battery life is short. Like, 30-45 minutes of active use short. It’s a portable powerhouse, not a 9-to-5 companion. But if you want the most futuristic smart glasses on the market, this is the one.

Realme has officially announced the launch of its upcoming flagship smartphone, the Realme GT 7. According to Realme executives, the device will be among the first to feature MediaTek’s latest Dimensity 9400+ chipset. The chip, which is set to debut on April 11, will be an overclocked version of the Dimensity 9400 that debuted in October last year.
Realme GT 7 to launch this month with Dimensity 9400+
Realme GT 7 with Dimensity 9400+ to launch in April in China
Realme’s Vice President, Xu Qi, has highlighted the importance of 3nm technology in defining next-generation flagship performance. The Dimensity 9400+ chipset, built on TSMC’s advanced 3nm process, is expected to bring substantial improvements in power efficiency and thermal management.
The CPU configuration includes one Cortex-X925 core clocked at 3.73GHz, three Cortex-X4 cores at 3.30GHz, and four Cortex-A720 cores at 2.4GHz, making it MediaTek’s highest-frequency mobile processor to date. Benchmark results suggest that the chipset could surpass 3 million points on AnTuTu, positioning it as a top-tier performer among Android devices.
The GT 7 will succeed last year’s GT 6, which featured the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip. The brand has confirmed that the GT 7 will debut this month (April) in China.
Realme GT 7 specifications (rumored)
Apart from its powerful chipset, the Realme GT 7 is likely to feature a 7,000mAh single-cell battery with 100W fast charging. The device is also expected to feature a 1.5K flat display with support for a high refresh rate.
Despite the larger battery, Realme has managed to keep the phone thinner and lighter than its predecessor, making it more ergonomic and comfortable for daily use. While the official pricing remains unconfirmed, industry analysts expect the Realme GT 7 to be priced around 3,000 Yuan (~$415), aligning with Realme’s GT series positioning.
The Realme GT 7 will face competition from the Redmi K80 Ultra and the OnePlus Ace 5s, which are expected to feature the Dimensity 9400+. The Honor GT Pro, which is expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite, will also rival these the three Dimensity-powered smartphones.
