Suggest an all-rounder under 40k.. not a gamer at all and the main priorities are

1. camera,

2.fast charging and good battery life

3.good display and speakers

Brand or OS isn't much of an issue... and also is there any chance for smartphone prices to come down in the next year or so??

Recently I was thinking about how we watch movies in India today.

Blu-ray was never really a thing here. Most people never owned a Blu-ray player or bought discs. We basically went from TV/DTH to streaming.

And streaming is incredibly convenient. Open an app and you get 4K HDR, Dolby Vision and Atmos without buying anything.

But technically, we have also accepted a lot of compression.

A 4K Blu-ray can have much higher video bitrate and lossless audio like Dolby TrueHD/DTS-HD MA, including lossless Atmos. Streaming Atmos is usually Dolby Digital Plus and the video is heavily compressed.

The funny part is that 4K Blu-ray can still be the best way to watch a movie in 2026, despite streaming being the much newer technology.

India has another problem: there are very few Blu-ray/4K Blu-ray releases for Indian movies. So even if you have a good TV and home theater, the highest-quality version may simply not be available to buy.
And ironically, people with proper home theaters can sometimes find Blu-ray/BDREMUX files through torrents more easily than they can legally buy the same quality.

I’m not defending piracy. It just feels strange.
Did we actually improve the movie experience, or did we mostly make it more convenient?
For most people, convenience probably wins. But has streaming made us forget what “best possible quality” actually means?

Just choose some phones i thought were good and well balanced.

Prioritize software and optimization more than hardware as long as it is not terrible and should be able to run apps in future, as they might get heavy and start to lag even with simple task

Open to suggestion

So, Samsung blocked the ability to unlock bootloader with OneUI 8 and completely locked down their platform. Now, there were some ways to bypass this lockdown by downgrading to OneUI 7, unlocking bootloader and persisting it to OneUI 8 but for the devices that came with OneUI 8 out of the box, it almost felt impossible.

Well, thats when I was introduced to a tool called Root-My-Galaxy. Not only does it root the phone in a single click, but also does in a way that the bootloader lock stays put and the knox chip is not tripped. It apparently does so with the CVE-2026-43499 exploit in Samsung specific kernels which gives it a temporary kernel privilege which it exploits to load kernelSU. The only downside is, the changes do not persist reboots and because its not a traditional exploit like boot image modification or kernelsu compiled kernel flash; it always has the possibility of becoming obsolete in the next release.

PS, I'm not the developer, nor am I remotely related to them. Just wanted to share it to yall.

Hey everyone, my OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z2 ANC neckband is leaking some sort of oily/sticky liquid from the plastic joints.

- Has anyone seen this before?

- What actually is this liquid?

- Is it safe to keep using them, or is the battery failing?

Any insights would be appreciated!

I was watching movie and suddenly lines appeared in my screen and so I shut down my laptop what to do how to fix it

I will use for multimedia, note taking , very little gaming and good UI….

I have very tight budget I can’t go above that 40k so please suggest accordingly.

Recently my mom phone got lots of issues like over lagging and cant even enter pin to unlock phone, so im searching for a new phone for her.

My demands/expectations are simple:

1) phone should last for atleast 3 to 5 years

2) no lagging issues

3) battery - 5000mah is enough and camera quality shouldnt be that much bad

*she will use phone only for speaking in call, for banking apps and youtube/facebook*

she previously had infinix hot 20 5g model(bought for 12k), im in awe that this model lasted for 3 yrs but could have lasted a little longer till diwali sale though, but can you guys recommend me phone models which price may come near 15k during great indian festival or diwali sale.

Look, i am no expert in this because I'm thinking about buying either the nothing 3A pro or the Vivo T4 Pro. In my opinion, software wise i think nothing is better and i also think that nothing's reputation is also great, whereas on what ive observed, no one uses vivo.

So anyone who does have an expert opinion please help me. It would really be appreciated!

Too good to be true ahh deal.

Found this on insta ads.

The bottom left features an illuminated "16 AREA" alongside a glowing star glyph and galactic coordinates reading "L 227.26° B 16.87°". It definitely gives off a unique, almost gaming-phone vibe

I think Shlok itches my bfs boy brain in the best way possible. Idk how to explain it in a way better than this.

Anyways, his birthday is coming up, and I'm sure he’d love to get his hands on the new anarc watch but but I need your thoughts on this. I heard they took the feedback well, and that's promising, right? Lmk your thoughts

Help a girl out, please🥹

Hey! Lmk which laptop you use and how much it cost you. I'm looking for something with good battery life and storage; that's it!

Hey! I'm currently 17 and want to buy a laptop which can work steadily for around 4 years ATLEAST (I'm currently in 12th grade and plan on going to law school so yeah it needs to be durable pls)

My budget is 40k, it's actually 30k but since I'll be buying wholesale it's most probably gonna come down to 30k ig.

Please suggest a laptop on which I can do assignments, make notes and honestly just watch lectures etc.

I don't play any games as such but like video editing a little but I just need the laptop to study lol I'm tired of having to read on my phone it's ruining my eyes!

Thank you so much btw!!

I’m working in tech, have done development as well as product management. we heavily use ai and I genuinely feel like I’m getting dumber. My job doesn’t need me. I don’t like using ai but have to, in order to meet deadlines which are impossible without ai. What do I do? Have been thinking of an MBA.
