It can focus as close as 3cm at the 24mm end and at…
MIVI has always made audio devices: earbuds, speakers, soundbars. Now, the Hyderabad-based brand announced its first smartphone this week, the MIVI One 5G, launching in India this September with a Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset. That’s a big leap. MIVI built its name on audio since 2015. Smartphones are a tougher market: fiercer competition, thinner margins, higher technical demands.

What We Know So Far: Chipset: A Snapdragon processor, likely the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2, based on a Geekbench leak.…

We caught up with Pulkit Samrat, who believes technology should empower people, not replace them. There are actors who follow a plan, and then there are actors who follow instinct. Pulkit Samrat belongs firmly in the latter category. Long before social media became a launchpad for careers, he was a Delhi boy who packed his bags and moved to Mumbai with little more than belief and ambition. Television gave him his first big break. Films gave him a larger canvas. And over the years, he has quietly built a career defined not by safe choices, but by constant reinvention. That…

The 2026 FIFA World Cup delivered all of that in abundance.

Here’s what truly defined football’s biggest month. Norway’s Viking Army Took Over the World Norway’s return to the World Cup after decades of absence was reason…
