THE G-SHOCK OF SMARTWATCHES
Huami’s Amazfit T-REX is probably where a smartwatch meets a G-shock. This rugged, all-weather smartwatch has passed 12 regulations of military standard (MIL-STD-810) quality tests to resist extreme environments, and can also withstand extreme temperatures. Despite its rugged demeanour, the watch weighs under 60 gm (thanks to tough plastic), and doesn’t feel too heavy on your wrist. The T-REX is packed with 14 sports modes, and offers a host of drill-down data options. It’s backed by a solid hardware set-up that includes GPS and GLONASS. The hardware spec sheet also includes a bold 1.3-inch AMOLED display (360 x 360 pixels) that offers good visibility even under direct sunlight. Rs 9,999
MARATHON MAN
If battery life is your thing, the Samsung Galaxy M21 won’t disappoint. The 6000 mAh battery should have you covered for two days. Samsung sweetens the deal with a 15W fast charger that powers up the device in quick time. But this one’s more than an energiser bunny. The 6.4- inch FHD+ Infinity U display (2340 x 1080 pixels) is quite vibrant, and one of the better options at this price point. The M31 is propelled by the Exynos 9611 processor and comes in two storage variants — 4GB/64GB and 6GB/128. A 48MP primary lens is part of the triple rear cam setup that includes an 8MP ultra-wide cam, and a 5MP depth sensor. Rs 12,699 onwards
ART ATTACK
The Serif from Samsung elevates a TV to a piece of home décor. The Serif is the result of a collaboration between Samsung and the acclaimed Parisian design duo, Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec. One moment it’s a piece of art with its own stand, and the next moment it’s a brilliant display, equipped with Quantum Dot Technology. The Serif, with its unique unibody design in the shape of an ‘I’, doesn’t just score with its looks. The Active Voice Amplifier function that automatically adjusts volume and clarity in real time, is one of the many handy touches. It’s also one of the only premium TVs that comes built in with NFC (Near Field Communication) for seamless entertainment. And then there’s the clever AI upscaling technology that upscales everything to 4K picture content. Rs 83,900 onwards
