Coolest Smartphones of 2022

Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max

The iPhone 14 Pro Max with its Dynamic Island has been everyone's favourite this year. Apple's novel solution to hide the camera cutouts impresses us and consumers a lot. Add to that a mighty A16 Bionic chip, a superb 48MP main camera, an amazing OLED display, and a stellar battery life to back it all, the iPhone 14 Pro Max is our favourite. Starts at Rs. 139,900.

Google Pixel 7 Pro

The Pixel 7 Pro leaves us spellbound with its still photography, especially when the Sun goes down. No other phone camera can match its colour science. That and a gorgeous 6.7-inch Quad HD+ AMOLED display, a beautifully skinned Android 13, and mighty performance makes it our favourite Android flagship of 2022. It costs Rs. 84,999.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 has to be in this list for its sheer folding capability. Having a pair of nicely tuned cameras on a origami-style tripod makes for a great camera to carry around. Plus, you can fold it shut when not needed. The Flip 4 also offers good battery life, a nice 120Hz display, and flawless performance from its Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip. Starts at Rs. 89,999.

Nothing Phone 1

A phone with a semi transparent back and LED “Glyph” lights to adorn it – how can that not be cool? Especially when it starts at Rs. 27,499?

Dashing smartwatches

Apple Watch Series 8

The Apple Watch Series 8 defines the perfect smartwatch of today. Be it health monitoring or an extension of your iPhone, the Watch Series 8 is the coolest watch for the job. Get the 45mm variant for its large beautiful display.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro does all the cool things the Apple Watch Series 8 does, and lasts 3 days easily on a single charge. Plus, it works with Android phones (only). The rugged look also is a crowd pleaser.

Rocking TWS earbuds

Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro

At Rs. 16,999, the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro sounds superb and fits in well with most ears. Audiophiles will love it. It also offers a plethora of smart features to make life easy on the move. Get it preferably if you use a Samsung phone.

Apple AirPods Pro 2

The Apple AirPods Pro 2nd Gen impresses with its solid ANC performance and a well tuned audio signature. The case also has its own speaker for notifications on battery status and FindMy scanning. Only recommended with Apple products though.

Awesome TVs

Xiaomi OLED Vision TV

An OLED TV for Rs. 89,999 – this is cool in itself. And that too a good one. The Xiaomi OLED Vision TV left us impressed with its picture quality and a superb user experience. PatchWall is brilliant for content hunting and its speaker system eliminates the need for an additional soundbar.

Samsung QN95B Neo QLED 4K

It is eye-wateringly pricey at Rs. 2.7 lakhs but TV lovers can't get anything better than this in this price range. Samsung's QLED panel is better in colours and brightness that competing OLED TVs at this price. Plus, we loved Tizen OS as a smart TV platform; it is well sorted and runs fast.
