T3 India as a magazine/ezine rightly focuses on products that are new and under development. This, of course, does not suggest or imply that everything old is bad and outdated. The pace at which technology moves, demands that we cover all product developments for our readers. In few cases, this means going back to the past. Look at the worldwide revival of turntables. Only 20 years ago, the turntable was consigned to the dustbin. Today, pressing plants are hard pressed to meet the demand. The area where retro is most in demand is music – both Western and Indian, and T3 India seeks to address this gap. We hope you enjoy this section.…

QD-OLED After spending a decade pleading with us not to buy OLED TVs, Samsung has just launched an OLED TV. To be fair, though, while Samsung’s OLED take still delivers the key advantage of every single pixel in the picture producing its own light independently of its neighbours, it does differ from ‘traditional’ OLED tech in two ways. First, QD-OLED TVs, as their name suggests, combine the organic materials that give us the O in OLED with the non-organic Quantum Dot colour technology previously only found in LCD TVs. Specifically, QD-OLED TVs pass a phosphor-emitted blue light through layers of Quantum Dots containing larger dots that glow red and smaller dots that glow green – an approach that offers more precision than regular colour filters. The second big QD-OLED difference…

Seasonal Vibes Monsoon season has always been exciting.

Travel industry has been cautious till now, but suddenly big plans are unfurling, and India is destined to be a hive of activity.

As an avid user of MacBooks, I am so here for the rumoured arrival of a 15-inch MacBook Air from Apple. Right now, however, the supposed 15-inch MacBook is nothing more than imaginary – with speculation pointing to Apple’s June 2023 WWDC showcase for the reveal – but its a rumour that seems likely. So what features would a 15-inch MacBook Air need to bring to the table to be an immediate purchase? I’m already in the MacOS ecosystem, sure, but the 16-inch MacBook Pro is too pricey (and probably too powerful) for me, while the 13-inch MacBook Air, despite its strengths, does still have shortcomings. So here are the three features I’d like to see from an all-new 15-inch MacBook. The first is kind of obvious: a 15-inch MacBook…

₹50,490, garmin.co.in We are reviewing the light blue color Forerunner 265, and the first thing that strikes us is the significant improvements over the previous Forerunner 255. The lack of a touch screen was a huge negative with the 255, which has finally been corrected. The bright AMOLED display on the 265 is a welcome change. As always, Garmin watches score in the running and sports modes with clinical precision, and the same is repeated with the Forerunner 265 as well. The default display screen of the Garmin in running mode has to be their best feature on this device. The comprehensive health and sleep tracking on the watch produces some easy-to-understand and follow instructions for the user, and the accuracy and perceptiveness of these insights impressed us. We only…

When I first drove a car with Apple’s CarPlay in 2014, I was bowled over. I thought it was a genuinely big thing, ranking alongside the likes of video streaming and your first digital camera. Simply by plugging your phone into the dashboard, you were no longer dependent on dumb and costly-to-update sat navs, you could bring your own entertainment with you in different cars, and enjoy hands-free operation of your phone, through simplified versions of apps. All while the phone was charging and without any clumsy mounts cluttering your view ahead. Android Auto, launched in 2015, achieved similar magic for Android users. Since launch, improvements to both systems have been limited but worthwhile – bigger screens, a wider range of app support, more voice control options, wireless connectivity and…

GOOGLE PIXEL FOLD Google has now officially entered the foldables market with the Pixel Fold – and the aesthetics of this device don’t stray too far from previous Pixel devices, apart from the folding screen part.

When it comes to the key specs, the Pixel Fold runs on the same Tensor G2 chipset as the Pixel 7 phones, and that’s combined with 12GB of RAM and either 256GB or 512GB of storage. The main display opens out to a size of 7.6 inches, while the cover display measures 5.8 inches, and Google says the battery life will get you through a whole day.…

₹1,399, mi.com TWS earbuds have become one of the most sought-after categories in the market, thanks to the convenience and inconspicuous design. While the top tech brands have been able to keep their premium prices justified with their technical finesse, the lower end has been the most popular with masses, thanks to the low prices. Established tech brands like OnePlus and Realme have so far managed to stay clear of the under-2000 market, but the Redmi Buds 4 Active marches boldly into that space. The Redmi Buds 4 Active is clearly aiming to deliver better quality products at the lower end of the price band. These buds do not break any new grounds in design as it uses the established pebble design for the charging cover. The device is available…
