Moto G64 5G Review: Motorola is once again making waves in the budget smartphone market with its latest release, the Moto G64 5G. Following the success of its mid-range Moto Edge 50 Pro, the company is targeting budget-conscious consumers with this new addition to its Moto G-series lineup. Packed with features like a MediaTek Dimensity 7025 chipset, a powerful 50MP main camera, and a whopping 6000mAh battery supporting 30W charging, the Moto G64 5G comes in Ice Lilac, Mint Green, and Pearl Blue colours. With a starting price of Rs. 14999 in India, it's positioned as a successor to the Moto G54. Having spent several weeks with the Mint Green variant, I'll be sharing my insights on whether this smartphone lives up to its promise as a solid 5G option under Rs. 15000. Let's delve into the review to uncover the truth.
Lava Prowatch ZN Review: An Encouraging Debut
07.05.2024 - 09:23 / tech.hindustantimes.com
Indian smartphone maker Lava has made its long-awaited debut in the wearables segment in the form of its premium smartwatch, the Lava Prowatch ZN. It is affordably priced and looks to take on the likes of boAt, Noise and other competitors in the budget smartwatch segment in India, which has honestly become saturated with options. However, the Prowatch ZN comes in as a breath of fresh air, boasting a classy design and a boatload of fitness features, albeit with a few drawbacks. So, has Lava's first-ever smartwatch managed to make a mark in this highly competitive market? Know it in our Lava Prowatch ZN review below.
Upon first look, the Lava Prowatch may seem reminiscent of the Google Pixel Watch. Although it doesn't quite match it in terms of the feature set, the smartwatch, with a round dial and zinc alloy design looks classy. There's also a rotating crown via which you can browse through menus, apps and watch faces. Oh, and it provides tactile feedback too! (good job Lava). The button toggles the sports mode directly while the crown can be pressed to go back. The smartwatch comes with both metallic and silicon straps, the latter of which is comfortable to wear even during hot summers for long periods of time.
In terms of numbers, the Lava Prowatch ZN has a 1.43-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 466x466 pixels, always-on functionality, 600 nits of peak brightness and a highly impressive Corning Gorilla Glass 3 on top for durability. What it does is it provides you with a crisp display which can withstand drops or nicks. Courtesy of the AMOLED panel, the display's somewhat chunky bezels merge into the black wallpaper seamlessly, providing a bezel-less look, coupled with a good touch response.
As is customary with smartwatches in the affordable segment, it comes with 110+ sports modes. Now, I'm pretty sure an average user won't be testing ALL of them but it's still better to have them and not use them instead of missing them when you really need them. It is also loaded with 110+ watch faces which can be downloaded via the companion app. The Prowatch ZN also comes with smart notifications, a built-in voice assistant and built-in games, all of which work well. It is equipped with PPG sensors that monitor your health metrics like SpO2, heart rate and steps. The health monitoring is fairly accurate with a bit of discrepancies but that is expected of smartwatches in this segment.
It comes with a simple swipe UI which has become a staple in budget smartwatches. Simply swipe down to access quick settings, while swiping up will open up the messages window. However, the Prowatch ZN provides one of the better experiences with smoother animations and no noticeable stutter. While the microphone isn't anything
