The Indian smartphone manufacturer Lava has unveiled its next smartphone, the Lava Agni 3, in the affordable market segment. The device is equipped with decent features and has undergone notable design tweaks, strongly positioning it in the segment. Some of the standout features include the dual AMOLED display, a glass sandwich design, and an action button. Let’s delve deep into the features of the device and assess its standing in the segment.&nbsp;

<h2>Lava Agni 3 Review: Design</h2>

The Lava Agni 3 sports a premium yet minimalistic look, featuring a glass sandwich design further adorned with the rectangular camera module. The camera module also houses the secondary display, which is a major talking point. On the right, users will get the power button and the ‘action key’, while the volume rockers are located on the left. The device weighs 215g and offers a premium in-hand feel. Despite the large camera module, it remains stable when placed on a flat surface. The smartphone is available in two colour variants: Heather Glass and Pristine White. The device boasts an IP64 certification for dust and water resistance.

<h2>Lava Agni 3 Review: Display</h2>

The device features a 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED display, paired with Dolby Atmos-tuned stereo speakers for a seamless multimedia experience. With a peak brightness of 1,200 nits and a refresh rate of up to 120Hz, the display is smooth, delivering punchy and bright outputs. However, when the speakers were used at full volume, some vibrations could be felt at the back. Additionally, the 1.74-inch AMOLED display on the back can be used to take photos and videos or comes in handy in checking notifications or answering or rejecting calls. The Action Key is a useful addition, allowing users to customise it for functions like taking a screenshot, starting a recording, or turning on the flashlight. However, the action button sometimes fails to respond to commands instantly.&nbsp;

<h2>Lava Agni 3 Review: Performance and software</h2>

Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300x processor, the Lava Agni 3 performs well on several benchmarks. Performance is further enhanced with up to 8GB of RAM support. While the device manageably handles gaming on high graphics, it tends to get slightly warm, which is understandable at this price point. The device comes with Android 14 out of the box, with a promise of 3 years of software updates and an additional year of security patches. The device offers a clean UI experience, with no bloatware, a rarity in this segment. One notable downside is the absence of a dedicated gallery app or file explorer to save photos, necessitating the use of the native Google Photos app or the file manager.&nbsp;

<h2>Lava Agni 3 Review: Camera</h2>

The Lava Agni 3 boasts a triple camera setup, including a 50MP primary camera with OIS, an 8MP ultrawide lens, and an 8MP telephoto sensor. For selfies, there’s a 16MP sensor. The primary camera performs well in daylight conditions, delivering near-natural colours and adequate details. The ultrawide lens also offers decent performance, with a slight loss of detail and minimal colour shift. The telephoto sensor tends to overexpose the photos sometimes, especially in well-lit setups. The 16MP takes good selfies but often adds a reddish tint, making photos appear overly processed with inadequate detail.&nbsp;

<h2>Lava Agni 3 Review: Battery</h2>

The device packs a 5,000mAh battery with 66W charging support. For modest users, the device easily lasts a day, but under intense usage scenarios, users might need to charge it for the second time during the day. It takes approximately 50 minutes to fully charge.&nbsp;

<h2>Lava Agni 3 Review: Verdict</h2>

The Lava Agni 3 offers a good balance of design and features. It aims to bring premium features to the budget segment with dual AMOLED displays, an Action Key and an IP64 rating, among others. However, there is room for improvement in software performance, and cameras could also be more consistent. Overall, if you are looking for a budget device with some of near-premium features, the Lava Agni 3 is worth considering.&nbsp;

<h2>Lava Agni 3 Review: Pros and Cons</h2>

Lava Agni 3 Pros:&nbsp;

- Minimalistic design with a premium look

- Dynamic display

- Good battery life

Lava Agni 3 Cons:&nbsp;

- Inconsistent camera performance

- Software experience can be smoother

WhatsApp New Features: Instant messaging platform WhatsApp has introduced a new feature that will let users save contacts from any device they may be using. The Meta-owned platform will also introduce a new option that will let users save a contact exclusively to WhatsApp.

<h2>Save Contact on WhatsApp Using Any Device</h2>

Till now, users only had the option of adding contacts from their mobile devices - by either typing in a phone number or scanning a QR code. But the Meta-owned platform will soon let you add and manage contacts from the comfort of your keyboard on WhatsApp Web and Windows. This feature will eventually be extended to other linked devices.

<h2>Save Contacts Exclusively To WhatsApp</h2>

Another feature that WhatsApp will soon introduce is the choice of saving contacts exclusively to WhatsApp.&nbsp;

"These WhatsApp contacts are ideal for when you are sharing your phone with others or if you want to separate personal and business contacts when managing more than one WhatsApp account on your phone," the company said.

This will be beneficial to users as they easily recover the contacts saved to WhatsApp in case they ever lose the smartphone or change devices.

<h2>Saving Contacts Exclusively To WhatsApp Can Be Useful If -&nbsp;</h2>

- You’re sharing your phone with others

- Manage a work and personal WhatsApp account on the same device and want two contact lists&nbsp;

- You lose your phone or change devices, since contacts you save to WhatsApp will be restored.

<h2>Extra Privacy For WhatsApp Users</h2>

These updates will also let users manage and save contacts by usernames. The good thing about saving contacts by usernames on WhatsApp is that it will add an extra degree of privacy.&nbsp;

As part of this feature, Meta has announced an encrypted storage system called Identity Proof Linked Storage (IPLS).&nbsp;

"IPLS allows you to save your contacts and automatically restore them directly through WhatsApp," Meta said.

WhatsApp New Features:&nbsp;Till now, users only had the option of adding contacts from their mobile devices - by either typing in a phone number or scanning a QR code.


WhatsApp Manage Contacts feature: You can soon add contacts without using your phone - Here's how

Beats Solo 4 Headphones Review: Earlier in August this year, Beats entered the Indian market with the launch of the Solo Buds, Solo 4, and Pill speakers. In this review, we take a closer look at the features of the Beats Solo 4 headphones. While the company is known for delivering bass-heavy sound, the Beats Solo 4 headphones maintain that similar signature audio profile. The device also incorporates major upgrades, which will be discussed in the subsequent sections.&nbsp;

<h2>Beats Solo 4 Headphones Review: Premium outlook with sleek profile&nbsp;</h2>

The Beats Solo 4 looks stylish and premium, sporting a sleek profile and weighing just 217g. The build quality is impressive, with brushed steel hinges and foldable design making it a convenient device to carry. When folded, the device becomes compact and comfortably fits into the handbag. The ear cushions are soft and perfectly designed to block external sounds, contributing to passive noise cancellation. However, the on-ear design, while initially comfortable, may start to cause discomfort as the pressure from the headband becomes slowly perceivable during extended usage. The device is available in three colour options: Matte Black, Slate Blue, and Cloud Pink.&nbsp;

<h2>Beats Solo 4 Headphones Review: Seamless connectivity across Apple and Android ecosystems</h2>

One standout feature of the Beats Solo 4 is its seamless integration with the Apple ecosystem. Once synced with Apple devices, it becomes extremely easy to switch between them. Additionally, the compatibility with the ‘Hey Siri’ functionality allows users to seamlessly control volume, skip tracks, or give commands without having to touch the smartphone. The device also offers seamless connection with Android devices, thanks to features like ‘Find My’ and automatic pairing. The headphones also support a 3.5mm audio cable or USB-C, ensuring high-resolution and lossless sound output. Users can opt for the 3.5mm cable for a more refined experience compared to Bluetooth streaming.&nbsp;

<h2>Beats Solo 4 Headphones Review: Sound quality, a clear standout</h2>

Beats has always been acknowledged for its bass-heavy sound output, and the Beats Solo 4 follows suit. Users who enjoy genres like EDM, hip-hop, and other music with deep bass will find this device appealing. When it comes to clarity and balance, the device performs well, delivering clear vocals without being subdued by the bass. The headphones represent instruments decently, making orchestral music pleasant and ensuring an immersive experience. The device’s spatial audio feature is also notable, with personalised spatial audio complemented by dynamic head tracking that adjusts the sound based on the user’s movements.

<h2>Beats Solo 4 Headphones Review: Robust battery</h2>

The company promises up to 50 hours of playback time, allowing an average to go for a week without needing to charge. The Fast Fuel feature is another handy functionality, which becomescrucial when the battery runs low. Additionally, a 10-minute charge offers up to 3-4 hours of playback time.&nbsp;

<h2>Beats Solo 4 Headphones Review: ANC’s absence a big miss, call quality is decent</h2>

One significant downside of the Beats Solo 4 headphones is the absence of the Active Noise Cancellation feature. Given its price of Rs 22,999, the feature should have been included, as devices priced much lower offer this feature. Nonetheless, the call quality is good, thanks to the beam-forming microphones. These microphones effectively isolate the user’s voice from the background, delivering a clear voice at the receiver’s end. The device features a multi-function button for seamless pairing and power, and it operates without any noticeable issues. Additionally, the ‘b’ button allows users to play or pause music and answer calls.&nbsp;

<h2>Beats Solo 4 Headphones Review: Verdict</h2>

Overall, the Beats Solo 4 is a good device with some standout features, including a bass-heavy output with decent clarity and balanced sound. The seamless connectivity across Apple and Android ecosystems gives it a clear edge, while the premium design is an eye-catcher. Battery life is also a crucial point to consider. However, the absence of the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) feature, which is even provided by alternatives priced more competitively, is a major downside. The on-ear design may be a thing of subjective discussion, but on a personal note, the device might leave users craving comfort while using it for extended sessions.&nbsp; 
Beats Solo 4 Headphones Review: Pros and Cons

Beats Solo 4 HeadphonesPros:

- Premium design with lightweight profile

- Decent sound quality

- Seamless connectivity across Apple and Android devices

Beats Solo 4 Headphones Cons:

- No ANC feature

- Price towards the higher side

Beats Solo 4 Headphones Review:&nbsp;Overall, the Beats Solo 4 is a good device with some standout features, including a bass-heavy output with decent clarity and balanced sound.&nbsp;


Apple's Beats Solo 4 Headphones Review: With ANC, the headphones would hit differently

Garmin Forerunner 165 Music Review: Garmin, the American tech brand, has earned its name for professional smartwatches, specially designed for athletes. The previous smartwatches by Garmin did not gain as much popularity, as the brand would have intended, likely due to their high price points. To address this, Garmin has launched the Forerunner 165 and Garmin Forerunner 165 Music in the Indian market. Positioned in the affordable segment, we shall take a look at the features of the Garmin Forerunner 165 Music and analyse its standing in this price segment in this review.&nbsp;

<h2>Garmin Forerunner 165 Music Review: Design and sensors</h2>

The Garmin Forerunner 165 Music has a sporty look with a 43 x 43 x 11.6 mm dimension. While the strap is made from silicone, the bezels are composed of fibre-reinforced polymer. Weighing just 39 grams with the straps included, the watch is lightweight and comfortable to wear. Additionally, it is compatible with 20mm wide bands offered with the device, allowing for quick straps replacements. On the underside of the watch, you will find Gamin’s Elevate V4 optical heart rate sensor, although it lacks ECG functionality. The device is also equipped with a blood oxygen saturation monitor, an accelerometer, a thermometer, a compass, an ambient light sensor&nbsp;and a barometric altimeter, useful for monitoring changes in elevation and weather conditions. It supports all common positioning systems, including GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo.&nbsp;

<img alt="Garmin-Forerunner165-Music-Re1" src="https://i.ibb.co/2qhk2Xz/Garmin-Forerunner165-Music-Re1.jpg" />

<h2>Garmin Forerunner 165 Music Review: Display</h2>

The watch features a 1.2-inch AMOLED display with a peak brightness of up to 800nits and a resolution of 390 x 390 pixels. However, it does not come with Gorilla Glass protection, which may be a downside for some users. The device has a total of five buttons with labels printed next to them. It becomes critical to read the user’s manual, in case you want to make proper usage of the buttons. The device is offered in four colour options: Mist Gray/Whitestone, Turquoise/Aqua, Berry/Lilac, and Black/Slate Gray.&nbsp;

<h2>Garmin Forerunner 165 Music Review: Connectivity options&nbsp;</h2>

The watch offers connectivity options including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and ANT+ for seamless integration with health and fitness devices, such as the Garmin HRM-Fit. It also boasts a 5 ATM water resistance rating, allowing it to withstand pressure when swimming at a 50-meter depth.&nbsp;

<h2>Garmin Forerunner 165 Music Review: Garmin Connect app and features</h2>

To use the watch optimally, users need to download the Garmin Connect app, available for both Android and iOS devices. The app allows several personalisation features, such as setting up the sleep schedule, adding music to the watch, setting up Wi-Fi, configuring safety features, and more. Additionally, users get the option to set up Garmin Pay, enabling users to make payments. For first-time users, the Connect app may seem sophisticated, so familiarisation with all its menus, configuration options, and reports is crucial. The Garmin Forerunner 165 Music already comes with several watch faces, and some more can be downloaded from the Connect IQ Store. Despite all its features, the device leans heavily towards a sporty aesthetic, making it less suitable for other occasions.&nbsp;

<h2>Garmin Forerunner 165 Music Review: Smart features</h2>

The watch comes integrated with a range of smart features, such as app notifications, functionality to call or reject calls, and the option to send predefined text messages in reply. However, it does not have a dedicated microphone or speaker, and thus for a better calling experience, you need to have your phone around. On the positive side, users can play music without the smartphone, and the device is compatible with Spotify, Deezer, and Amazon Music. To listen to music with this device, you need to download an appropriate app and also have access to the playlist you want. Connecting your Bluetooth headphones with the watch is the next step. The process can be tricky and may need several attempts.&nbsp;

<h2>Garmin Forerunner 165 Music Review: Health tracking and fitness features</h2>

The Garmin Forerunner 165 Music excels at tracking heart rate, tracked automatically throughout the day. This is then complemented by heart Rate Variability (HRV) measurements, providing insights such as stress score, respiration rate, and body battery. Sleep tracking is appropriately detected, offering a sleep score. The device satisfactorily measures blood oxygen levels, though it may not be the best in the segment. Additionally, the monitoring of respiratory rate helps evaluate sleep quality and stress levels. Other health-related features include stress level monitoring, daily water intake tracking, women’s health tracking, and more. For athletes, the device stands out with its GPS lock and accurate tracking, offering dynamic data such as cadence and power.

<h2>Garmin Forerunner 165 Music Review: Battery</h2>

The device is powered by a lithium-ion battery, with the company claiming to offer approximately an 11-day battery backup. However, this requires the pulse oxygen monitoring to be turned off completely. Once the battery reaches the 10% level, it prompts users to enable a battery saver, but it can still last for approximately 24 hours after that, which is an optimistic estimate. The device takes a little over an hour to get fully charged using a 45W charger.&nbsp;

<h2>Garmin Forerunner 165 Music Review: Verdict</h2>

Overall, the Garmin Forerunner 165 Music is a well-rounded device with numerous positives, including good performance, reasonable battery life, sturdy build with proper durability, and a strong focus on fitness. Its sporty look makes it well-suited for sporting events, but the design may not be the best option for formal settings, including office setups or fancy events. If you are an aspiring athlete or a fitness enthusiast, the device can be a great option for you.&nbsp;

<h2>Garmin Forerunner 165 Music Review: Pros and Cons</h2>

Garmin Forerunner 165 Music Pros:&nbsp;

- Good performance

- Durable device

- Sporty outlook

Garmin Forerunner 165 Music Cons:

- Lacks an ECG sensor

- Primarily suited for sporty use

Titan has launched its Stellar 2.0 collection, inspired by celestial themes and featuring unique materials, as part of its strategy to premiumise its portfolio. But what is keeping these analog watches relevant even in the era of smartwatches? According to Mahendra Chauhan - Head Of Design- Product &amp; UX- Watches, Wearables and Accessories, freedom from constant notifications, the status symbol associated with analog watches and their timeless nature are factors why these timepieces are still relevant.

Regarding competition, Chauhan highlighted that Titan's main challenge is to attract consumers who currently don't buy analog&nbsp;watches. He described the design philosophy for the Stellar 2.0 collection as elegant and exploratory, drawing inspiration from the cosmos.&nbsp;Speaking exclusively to ZeeBiz.com, he expressed confidence that the collection would appeal to younger audiences and attract new customers to Titan.

<h2>Here are the edited excerpts from the interview:</h2>

Que: In the age of smartwatches, what keeps analog watches relevant?

Mahendra Chauhan: Several factors contribute to the ongoing popularity of analog watches. Firstly, they provide a break from the constant notifications and tech overload that smartwatches bring. Analog watches offer a respite from the digital buzz, allowing wearers to enjoy a more serene experience.

Secondly, analog watches are perceived as status symbols, a concept ingrained in our culture for generations, often associated with luxury brands like Swiss watches. Many people who wear smartwatches often switch to an analog watch for professional settings, emphasizing its role as a fashion statement and status symbol.

Lastly, analog watches are timeless pieces that can be passed down through generations, showcasing enduring elegance. In contrast, smartwatches often require frequent upgrades, losing their novelty after a short time. Thus, their timeless nature, status appeal, and technological freedom contribute to the continued relevance of analog watches.

Que: What innovations have emerged in the analog watch segment?

Mahendra Chauhan: Analog watches can be categorized mainly into mechanical and quartz types. Both categories have seen significant innovations over the years. Mechanical watches have evolved to include various features such as speed measurement and medical functions. Meanwhile, quartz watches have become more sophisticated, incorporating multiple functionalities without sacrificing aesthetics.

Recently, hybrid smartwatches have emerged, combining analog displays with smart technology, allowing for health tracking through traditional watch hands. This fusion represents the latest innovation in the analog segment, showcasing the adaptability of traditional designs to modern needs.

Que: Will Titan continue to focus on all segments, or is there a shift towards premiumisation?

Mahendra Chauhan: Titan sells approximately 18 million watches annually, covering every demographic in India, from tier two and three cities to affluent globetrotters. We have carefully curated our offerings to cater to various preferences and price points.

In recent years, there’s been a noticeable shift towards premium products across all demographics. Many consumers are seeking upgrades to more luxurious items, even in lower price ranges. Notably, about 60% of young urban Indians are investing in high-end products. This trend towards premiumisation influences all segments of our portfolio, including the Stellar collection, which features unique materials and design elements previously unseen in our products.

Que: What competition does Titan face in the analog watch segment, and what challenges lie ahead?

Mahendra Chauhan: Titan has maintained a strong market share of around 60-65% in India, positioning us as a dominant player. Our integrated business model—encompassing design, manufacturing, and retail—affords us significant market control.

The main challenge lies in converting potential customers who currently do not wear watches. Our focus is on reaching those who favor smartwatches from various brands or those who choose not to wear a watch at all. Attracting these segments back to Titan is a key objective for our group.

Que: Can you share insights into the design philosophy of the Stellar 2.0 collection?

Mahendra Chauhan: Titan's design philosophy centers on simplicity and elegance. Our watches are not merely time-telling devices; they tell a story. The Stellar 2.0 collection draws inspiration from the vastness of space, including swirling galaxies and celestial bodies.

We previously explored themes like black holes, and for this collection, we’ve incorporated elements from the Sun, Moon, and planetary movements. The textures and motions of these celestial elements have significantly influenced our designs, making each piece a narrative of cosmic exploration.

Que: What market share do you anticipate capturing with Stellar 2.0?

Mahendra Chauhan: The performance of Stellar 1 was exceptional, allowing us to penetrate a previously unexplored market. While I won’t provide specific numbers, we expect a substantial interest from younger audiences and those who haven’t previously engaged with Titan. We believe these innovative products will attract new customers and spark excitement in our offerings.
