Motorola

Motorola has had one of the most interesting runs in its history. From being the pioneers of personal cellphones, virtually being responsible for putting one in everyone's pockets, to being tossed around by different parent companies, mostly due to financial reasons. Motorola carries a long legacy and has weathered most storms, a true representation of a relentless survivor. One of my first smartphones was the first-generation Moto X in 2014, a well-built, uniquely designed handset with its iconic carbon fibre-like back. The Moto X was shortly followed by the Moto G series, which truly gave the company a strong foundation, at least in India.

Telling Motorola smartphones apart is getting increasingly difficult. Whether you pick up a Rs. 70,000 flagship or a Rs. 25,999 mid-ranger, there is a good chance the first thing you will notice is just how familiar the design looks. The Lenovo-owned company has carried this design language across its lineup for some time now, and the new Moto G77 Power is the latest example. On paper, though, it has a few things going for it, including a massive 7,000mAh battery, a 120Hz display, a clean Android experience, and a capable 50-megapixel primary camera.

Most of us have seen videos on social media platforms claiming that wired earphones are making a comeback. Many people allegedly now prefer the more conventional style of personal listening. However, nobody can forget the hassle of unwinding those wires or them getting stuck somewhere. Let's be honest: wireless earbuds offer a more convenient, hassle-free music-listening experience. Hence, I would say the true wireless stereo (TWS) category is here to stay.
