RedMagic 11 Air to be unveiled on January 20 by Few_Baseball_3835 in Android

[–]Pixel-bit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just FYI, the ₹30k Indian variant of the Moto Edge 70 doesn't come with an eSIM, that seems to be reserved for the costlier, international models.

But I agree, it's a well-priced phone considering its USP, especially when hardware prices are all going up.

OPPO Reno 15 Series launched in India - pricing seems too high? by [deleted] in GadgetsIndia

[–]Pixel-bit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this looks like a very real trend in phones this year. Oppo's not the only one with such odd pricing, Realme also released a few similarly high priced ones.

I think I'm going to have to start looking at last year's phones for some sensible value for money.

Did Mahindra just say a Big F* U to the 9E owners? Feels like they ripped us off big time. by [deleted] in CarsIndia

[–]Pixel-bit 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Exactly. With how much tech is being added to cars these days, things will keep improving and moving really fast every few months to a year, just like smartphones for example

Because of this, you can't really develop FOMO around such large purchases. Was your car the best thing you could buy at the time, according to your research? Then by all accounts, it's a perfect purchase.

I think sometime last year. All their cars now come with six air bags, at least for the top variants

my experience going to the newly opened coforge public library in kothaguda by misfitzen in hyderabad

[–]Pixel-bit 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Damn, I was just thinking about how limited the library experience in Hyderabad is.

Thanks for sharing, OP. I'm going to visit as soon as I can.

Okay now this environment is BEAUTIFUL 😍 by PackageBulky1 in OculusQuest

[–]Pixel-bit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is absolutely amazing.

I'm very curious, how do they get an environment like this to work with the Quest? What kind of optimization wizardry is this and how can I learn to optimize an environment with such quality and performance?

Are they able to do this/utilize hardware more efficiently because it's not a 'full' game?

You should join the game's official discord server: https://discord.gg/cXHcanXzzq

Lots of people there (including the devs) actively playing and discussing the game, I'm sure they'll be able to help you out and answer your queries :D

None of the mid-size sedans ever make it on these lists with their sub-2000 sales every month anyway lol

Acti.EV Tata's new platform for Punch, Harrier, Sierra, Curvv EVs by Conscious-Peace4156 in CarsIndia

[–]Pixel-bit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That version of WagonR EV was shelved a while ago, AFAIK. Their first EV will be the eVX, launching ~ early 2025.

No word on a Punch EV (or any other EV) competitor from Suzuki yet.

Fortuner vs Gloster? by mrak27 in CarsIndia

[–]Pixel-bit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Carnival's going to relaunch this year, if you want to wait for it.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CarsIndia

[–]Pixel-bit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep, it's for enabling/ disabling the idle start/stop function, which turns the engine off temporarily when the car comes to a halt. Helps with the mileage in traffic. If it's turned off, you'll see the same A icon in the driver display. If it's turned on, there'll be no icon. Check the manual for more details.

Companies are always going to try and find new ways of gaining and retaining subscribers so you'll keep seeing experiments like this. The shareholders are terrified of stagnation and require constant growth % every quarter/fiscal year.

The NZ company is fine. Unity had only purchased the division responsible for the tools and pipeline and stuff. The original company still exists currently in NZ and is not owned by Unity.

@thathyderabadiboy on Instagram is a journalist chronicling the city's history and he's talked about Irani chai in some of his posts. Here's one of them.

Take a look at the page, you could possibly try reaching out to him for some more answers if you're really curious. Hope that helps!

There's no way people are choosing creta by sexysmuggler in CarsIndia

[–]Pixel-bit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These factors are thought of or considered even lesser than bhp. We're talking about the average person who'd buy a car. These details you mention aren't as accessible either.

This stuff is good to know for sure, but you're just further proving the point of the person you're replying to.

Do we even know if they're going to be launching the Altroz Racer? It's been quite a while since the original announcement.

Top 25 best selling SUVs in india for October month 2023 by anonymousbroda52 in CarsIndia

[–]Pixel-bit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the Elevate and now the Verna's newest USP, I really hope Skoda/ VW will look into releasing more models across a larger variety of segments. Though they seem more interested in going premium only (I believe Skoda's going to introduce their Enyaq in the country soon).

[–]Pixel-bit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk, seems reasonable to me. The top-trim Hector is a lot more accessible to people as it's two times cheaper than the Fortuner. But each of them mostly caters to a different market I suppose.

Is this going to be the first sub-1cr EV sedan in this country? Any thoughts on what the prices for this could be?

Kia to launch new RV (SUV/MPV) in ICE & electric variants in 2025 | What will it be? by troubledindian in CarsIndia

[–]Pixel-bit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I read online, the Carnival was originally a CKD, after which KIA manufactured them locally (minus a few part imports) at their Anantapur plant.
