Jeep has finally launched the 2021 Compass facelift in the Indian market, and the American carmaker aims to revive the SUV’s depleting sales in the country with this update. The competition in the mid-size SUV segment is cut-throat, with buyers demanding an all-rounder SUV that is loaded up to the brim with features and safety tech, has powerful powertrains and is also pleasing to look at. The Jeep Compass faces competition from the likes of Tata Harrier and the MG Hector, and while the former received some important improvements last year, the latter was recently updated with a mid-life refresh. This means that the competition in the mid-size SUV segment is now afresh. Here is a detailed specifications comparison between the 2021 Jeep Compass facelift, the Tata Harrier and the MG Hector to help you decide which one offers the best value for your money – Dimensions for the Jeep Compass The Jeep Compass facelift measures : 4395 mm in length, 1818 mm in width, stands 1640 mm tall has a 2...

                         Why Apple is so expensive??? Apple products have never been cheap. And the cost of some of its products has increased dramatically over time. Just look at how the price of the iPhone has increased over the years. What started at $499 in 2007, now starts at $999. So what makes these products so pricey? Well, some say, it boils down to no other reason than the fact that Apple can convince us to pay the hefty price. There’s even an unofficial term for this phenomenon. It’s called The Apple Tax which describes the extra money customers are willing to pay for an Apple product over a competitor product with similar features. And, often it’s attributed to the so-called “cool factor” associated with Apple. It’s those premium prices that helped catapult Apple into becoming one of the world’s most valuable companies. And at the start of 2019, it announced it was holding a whopping $245 billion in c...

Jeep Compass 2021!!!!

FCA debuted the Jeep brand in India with its Wrangler and Grand Cherokee premium SUVs in 2016 but the real breakthrough came when made-in-India Compass was launched in July 2017. The Compass really set the tone in the premium SUV segment but its popularity faded away in recent times. With it being the sole volume seller for the brand, a mid-life update has been introduced in India. The 2021 Jeep Compass is priced between Rs. 16.99 lakh and Rs. 24.49 lakh (ex-showroom) (around Rs. 50,000 price increase across variants) and it features a host of changes inside and out in response to the growing competition. On the inside, the facelift has been given a thorough revision with redesigned headlamps having integrated LED Daytime Running Lights, revised front grille with seven vertical slats and honeycomb inserts. It also gets a brand new bumper section with wider air inlet and restyled fog lamp housing enhancing the sporty vibe of the new model. While the overall sturdy pillars and roofline r...

Tata Safari 2021

Tata has finally dropped the wraps on the upcoming Safari SUV. The Safari badge is largely responsible for establishing the SUV culture in India back in 1998 the time when it was introduced. And in its current avatar, Tata has equipped for firepower to make the argument fool-proof, or has it? Hence here is how the last iteration of Safari goes up against the new one on paper. 1. Monocoque Over Body on Frame The previous Safari was based on an X2 body-on-frame platform that also underpinned models including Aria and Hexa. While the chassis proved to be potent off the tarmac, its highway manners were somewhat satisfactory to say the least. This has been fixed in the new model that comes with Land Rover’s D8-derived monocoque platform. The handling is expected to be more tied down, just like the Harrier, which it is based on. 2. More Powerful Engine The new Safari uses an FCA-sourced 2.0-litre diesel engine that outputs 170PS and 350Nm of torque (same as the Tata Harrier)  . While it'...

Samsung S21 Ultra!! The real flagship??

How would you make the best smartphone? If money was no object, what would it look like? Would it have more cameras, better cameras, a bigger and brighter screen, faster processors, more RAM, more storage, a stylus? Well, Samsung thinks it has the answer. The Galaxy S21 Ultra. A phone that imagines what it would look like if you didn't have to make any compromises. It's a phone that shows what the best of Samsung hardware and Android software can look like. If you're willing to pay for it. (bouncy synth music) The Galaxy S21 Ultra is Samsung's latest superlatively named smartphone. It's the successor to last year's Galaxy S20 Ultra and it shares a lot in common with that phone. Giant OLED display, an 108-megapixel camera, the works. But the Galaxy S21 Ultra is a refined version of last year's model. One that looks to smooth out some of the sharp edges of the S20 Ultra. Literally in some cases thanks to the new rounded design language that Samsung is using he...

      Why IOS is better than android??? The iOS vs Android debate has been ongoing ever since the platforms were created over a decade ago.  I love Apple products, But we’re going to talk about why iOS is better than Android. But I do want to preface this entire video by saying I don’t hate Android, I truly believe both platforms have their own strengths and weaknesses. And the decision regarding which one is best for you, is your decision to make. Everyone’s smartphone needs are different. And therefore no one can say that one platform is objectively better than the other, but I do think it’s fair to point out the specific strengths that iOS has over Android. Alright so let’s start with what I think it’s the number one reason why people choose iOS over Android. And that is the user experience. Apple is great at making tech products for non-tech people. And I think iOS does a fantastic job at keeping things simple enough that everyday people can pick up an iPhone or ...

  LG on their way to quit smartphone business...  So LG's mobile division has been facing losses after losses for a very long time now. To be specific, their mobile division has reported 23 consecutive quarters of losses, that's about 4.5 billion dollars(around 33 thousand crores) over the last 5 years and as a result of this, LG is now considering quitting the smartphone market for good in 2021. LG recently teased a rollable smartphone at CES (Consumer electronics show) a few days ago, clearly indicating that the company has not run out of great ideas for its smartphone business. Also recently one of their executives said that the rumors about them exiting the smartphone business are “completely false and without merit.” However, in a dramatic turn of events, Reuters has  found an internal memo from the CEO of LG that basically says that they are considering all options for its loss-making mobile division, which could include shutting its smartphone business or selling o...

Mi 10i 5G Best mid ranger???

                                               H ey, what’s up guys!! The Xiaomi Mi 10i 5G is one of the newest Mi 10 series phones to come out.  With 'I' in the name, you know this one is a mid-ranger, and knowing Xiaomi, it's bound to have a bunch of bang for your buck. So, let’s see what the Mi 10i brings to the table in our full review. The Mi 10i brings looks that are reminiscent of the Poxo X3 on the back thanks to its rectangular camera arrangement. However, here the back is made of Gorilla Glass with a glossy gradient finish. The frame is still made from plastic, though and it's matte, not glossy, which offers a bit of extra grip. The phone's curved back adds a bit of comfort in the hand, too. But at 215 grams, the Mi 10i is actually not that light. On the front is the 6.67-inch IPS LCD with a 1080p resolution and a fast 120hz refresh rate.  The fast ...
