featured-image

Pixel 9AThe Pixel 9A is the latest Pixel smartphone that packs a punch with its novel features and incredible value. The 6.3” Actua display is incredibly smooth (60-120Hz) and provides upto 2700 nits of brightness with HDR support.

The 9A looks elegant and refined thanks to a flush camera setup in the rear that doesn’t protrude. The dual rear cameras (48MP+13MP) take exceptional photos and videos (upto 4K) across lighting conditions with OIS+EIS. Pixel 9A’s IP68 certification for dust/water resistance enables use in any environment.



The features I found useful for me while testing the 9A include - 7 years of OS, security and Pixel Drop updates (the phone is a long-term device with refreshing and frequent software and feature updates), Ample storage (256GB), Outstanding battery life 5100mAh (About 32 hours on a charge) + wireless charging, Excellent Gemini and in-built AI integration across the board (imaging, transcribing, social content etc), Robust Tensor G4 sensor/Titan M2 security coprocessor (providing security and safety as well as ace performance). The Pixel 9A is a phone I’d strongly recommend for anyone looking for quality, value, longevity, durability and the latest features in one device! INR 49,999 store.google.

com flipkart.comInfinix Note 50s 5G+Infinix is on a roll in 2025 with multiple new smartphones at excellent price-points. Their new Note 50s 5G+ is one of the slimmest curved phones I’ve come across with a fantastic 6.

78” 144Hz 3D curved AMOLED display. The phone runs on a Mediatek Dimensity 7300 Ultimate chipset and XOS 15 (based on Android 15) - I found performance to be smooth all-day even with extreme multi-tasking. The 5500mAh battery easily lasts for a day+ and charges fast with 45W charging while even offering reverse charging for other devices.

The Note 50s 5G takes remarkably good photos and video for its price-segment, the 64MP IMX682 rear sensor and 13MP front sensor allow for capturing 4K@30FPS video that’s smooth and stable. What really impressed me from Infinix is the MIL-STD-810GH certification and IP64 rating (military grade durability and water/dust resistance) offered here at this price-point which adds tremendous value and life to the phone. Infinix also provides a whole suite of AI features including AI Halo lighting, Eraser, Note, Writing assistant and Voice assistant (Folax) which all work formidably to create a solid smartphone package.

At this price-point it’s unlikely you’ll get a better phone anywhere else! Superb Value! INR 14,999. infinixmobiles.in flipkart.
