Most clear, honest, technical, yet simple, gadget reviewer in India. I am glad you always reviewed in english since i dont understand most indian languages

[@subhammaji827]

I'm watching tech reviews from various youtubers from 6-7 years now and I have come to a conclusion that almost all Indian youtubers dont really make a proper buying guide type video for the masses rather they have turned into puppets of smartphone manufacturers only gyan therapy and Mr. Ranjit have kept the legacy to make and unbiased and true to life reviews which are really useful and that's the reason this channel has such longevity ! Lots of love to you Sir ❤

[@TejasNaik01]

Agreed!!!

[@gyaane5728]

Agree with you.

[@rohitrana2020]

I trust Mr Ranjit more than any1 in tech industry, and one more reason of liking him the most is that as i am following tech products from around 10 years myself, I find majority of the time my opinion is same as his about any product whether it's smartphone, wearables or electric cars. Love u Sir, keep making consumers aware.

[@primegooner1886]

I agree with you and him about all tech apart from electric cars... I do not think he has the correct notion on the impact of electric cars ....

It is not just TSMC. It has also to do with SoC architecture otherwise Samsung might have manufactured their own Exynos on TSMC for their S series device rather than going for Snapdragon. Even 8Gen 1 didnt heat up as much as Exynos and Tensor

Does the pixel 7 also have heating issues while gaming?

i didnt even consider that the local temparature would be factor into choosing your phone, does that mean the phone over heats quiet a bit ? Noted i live in Montreal hence, the temperature wouldnt surpass 35 degrees celcius in the summer

[@deepaknirala2130]

Whoever is reading my comment. Dont take the heating issue mentioned by Ranjit lightly. I sold my pixel 6A last week. Its so uncomfortable to touch and use the phone with tesnor chip ( exynos) is that the whole metal grill is like hot rod. Believe me my thumb and palm was burned in prolonged usage of 20 mins or so on mobile data. Its that HOT. So before throwing away your money , listen carefully to what Ranjit says.

[@maneeshpathik5802]

Hello Ranjit. I am having same issue with Pixel 4a. Heating and switching off under normal usage of Android Auto for navigation and music on Spotify, using mobile data. Google should do more research for heat management for Indian conditions. I will have to think again to consider a Pixel, for my mobile upgrade which will be around this Diwali.

[@equiknox]

Google needs to listen to Indian users because the Pixel can hold quite a good percentage of market share if they start to introduce service centers, self repair programs and listen to feedback from Indian users and actually move to TSMC instead of using samsung for chips. I hope Pixel 8 series will address the heating issues even when they go for Samsung chips.

Ranjit Sir : As a Pixel 4a user, i can confirm that Google does slows up the charging speed quite a lot when the temperature sores up. My pixel 4a which usually takes 1.3 hour to fully charge, in current summer conditions without AC takes almost 2 hour to charge. It has the plastic back still it gets so hot while charging without AC, it is slight scary to use atall. Hence i do try to switch off the phone while charging

Yeah and the 4a has heating issues as well. I own it from day 1 and I can confirm that it has heating issues.

Otherwise the phone is good just a few bugs you will find while using it for some time and the heating I wish gets resolved atleast be brought down please.

Sir, I own a OnePlus 8t and had a very bad experience with both OnePlus and Oppo devices with their motherboard crash. Now I'm planning to move to the Pixel devices. Looking at the current prices I can see that Pixel 6a is a great deal, but still Pixel 7a is pulling me because of its 90 hz display and Sony IMX786 sensor compared to very old sensor on Pixel 6a. But the only thing I'm worried is about prices. I'm not getting that interest to spend huge amount of money on smartphones. Do you think the 6GB RAM and 60 hz works for me, as I have 120hz and 12gb RAM on OnePlus 8t Please advise me on this.

All apps are as fluent and snappy as you can ask for, and I've rarely seen this phone lag, only when starting up or when it's at like, 5% charge remaining. Also, this is 2 gens old at this point (S20, S21, S22), still is a Phone I'm comfortable saying that I can use for another few years without issues.
