  Samsung 25W Travel Adapter (TA800) Review: The Only Charger You Should Buy for Galaxy? By The Tech Guru If you just bought a Samsung Galaxy phone—whether it's a budget M-series, a mid-range A55, or a flagship S24—you likely faced a rude shock when you opened the box. No charger. Just a cable. Samsung says this is for the "environment." We know it's to save costs. So now you have a choice: buy a random cheap charger from the market, or buy the official Samsung 25W Travel Adapter (TA800) . Is the official one actually worth ₹1,000? Or is it just an overpriced brick? I bought one for my Galaxy M34 to find out. The Secret Sauce: What is PPS? Most students make a mistake here. They buy a "33W Fast Charger" from brands like Mi or Realme, plug it into their Samsung, and wonder why it charges slowly. The reason is PPS (Programmable Power Supply) . Samsung phones use this specific technology to unlock "Super Fast Charging." Standard Charger: Charges a...

Tribit XSound Go Review: Is This the 'Budget Bose' for Students?

Tribit XSound Go Review: Is This the 'Budget Bose ' for Students? By The Tech Guru If you ask most students what the best Bluetooth speaker is, they'll probably say " JBL " or " boAt ." But if you ask an audiophile —someone who obsessively cares about sound quality—they will whisper a different name: Tribit . The Tribit XSound Go has built a cult following for one simple reason: it claims to offer the rich, clear, balanced sound of a premium speaker like the Bose Sound Link, but for a fraction of the price (under ₹3,000). Is it too good to be true? Can a budget speaker really sound this good, or is it just hype? I bought one, tossed it in my backpack, and used it for a week of hostel life to find out.

Realme Buds T310 Review: Is 46dB ANC for Under ₹2,500 a Scam or a Steal?

  Realme Buds T310 Review: Is 46dB ANC for Under ₹2,500 a Scam or a Steal? By The Tech Guru A few years ago, if you wanted good Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) that could actually silence a bus engine or a noisy roommate, you had to spend at least ₹5,000. Budget earbuds would slap "ANC" on the box, but in reality, it was just a marketing gimmick that barely blocked a whisper. Enter the Realme Buds T310 . On the box, it makes a bold, almost unbelievable claim: 46dB Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation for under ₹2,500 (and often available for around ₹2,200). That is flagship-level territory. So, what's the catch? Did Realme actually pull off a miracle, or is this just another case of "specs on paper" vs. "reality"? I bought a pair and put them through the ultimate student stress test to find out. The 46dB ANC Test (The Main Event) This is the reason you're reading this review. Does the ANC actually work?
