Reviews

8.4/10 by Shubham Raheja | 14 Feb 2023

The Galaxy S23 is a high-spirited phone, with powerful innards, no heating issues (so far) and decent cameras. Just picking it up can sometimes cheer you. We are just hoping the battery life improves with the Adaptive battery tech running in the background and that in the next iteration, the entire Galaxy S line-up gets new lenses or anti-glare coating.

8.3/10 by Keval Vachharajani | 26 Mar 2024

The Pixel 8 is a compelling option for those seeking a premium Android experience with a fantastic camera, clean software, and a commitment to long-term updates. It's also a compact phone, which is quite rare these days. The display and design are top-notch, and the AI features are helpful for productive tasks. However, battery life and charging speed remain its downsides. If these areas aren't dealbreakers for you, the Pixel 8 is a phone that will continue to get better with time.
