Google Pixels will be available to purchase from offline retail stores in India
For years, Google Pixels have only been sold online that too only through Flipkart e-commerce and not even on Amazon officially in India
But now, Google Pixels 9 series will be available to try in retail outlets too like Croma or Reliance Digital and it will not be Flipkart-exclusive anymore. Thus, customers in India can first try/experience Google Pixels in stores and then decide whether to buy them or not.

Battery Drain Test of Flagship Smartphones
Youtuber Tech Nick conducted battery drain test of flagship smartphones in Feb, May, and Aug. All phones were tested with the same brightness (LUX meter), NO SIM card, on Wi-Fi & running latest software updates.
RESULTS: The Xiaomi 14 Ultra and Vivo X100 Ultra, both using Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, reached high as 68°C and 70°C even after bragging about 69,420mm² VC. They even failed to shut down after 60°C to avoid damage to internal components unlike safety mechanisms seen in Pixels & iPhones.
Pixel 8 Pro having NO vapor chamber, using a heater-- Tensor peaked at 55°C & managed 8hrs SoT, while Xiaomi 14 Ultra/Pro having large VC & efficient SoC offered just 7hrs SoT & reached 68C
iPhone 15 Pro Max had one of the best SoTs, despite a sub-5000mAh battery & heated the least. Honor and Huawei Pura 70 Ultra offered the best SoT at 11hrs. OnePlus and Samsung performed very well.
So, Vivo and Xiaomi lack/don't offer long-term care compared to others.

Xiaomi Service Centers: Turn Your Smartphone in for Repairs, Receive a Pocket-Sized Time Bomb Instead
People usually trust service centers to fix their smartphones, but Xiaomi seems to have a unique approach. Instead of just repairing devices, it seems that Xiaomi is determined to destroy your phone.
A user deposited his Mi 11 Lite 4G codenamed 'courbet' to Xiaomi's official service center in India. His device was out-of-warranty. The problem described by the customer in the jobsheet/service record says that, when the smartphone was turned ON, it enters the fastboot mode or the bootloader automatically. Also, it drains battery & the volume key was not working either
Xiaomi replaced the battery in the customer's smartphone & charged him Rs. 1472 (~18$). But just after 2 days, the customer's Mi 11 Lite smartphone exploded/blasted, indicating Xiaomi put a FAKE battery inside.
There are even cases where customers reported that Xiaomi has put FAKE displays on their smartphones

OnePlus 12R Smartphone Melted
A user on XDA (unlikely from India) reported that his OnePlus 12R (16GB RAM variant) started smoking while it was in his pocket and then suddenly exploded after he threw it on the ground just in time.
The users says,
"About two weeks ago, my 3-month-old OnePlus 12R 16GB started smoking in my pants pocket and literally melted when I took it out. It was operational just seconds before and showed NO signs of any issues. I had not improperly charged it or exposed it to overheating or anything similar. Suddenly, the screen started melting before my eyes, which took a moment for me to realize. I threw it into the garden, and shortly after, it looked like this.I reported the issue as quickly as possible, and customer support responded promptly. They asked me to fill out a poorly formatted form to describe the incident and send in the device. Now, I'm waiting for further information from OnePlus."

Realme 9i Smartphone Explosion Caused The Train To Delay By Half An Hour
A 31-year-old passenger, who was travelling by Vande Bharat Express from Chennai Central railway station to Mysuru, narrowly escaped a disaster when his Realme 9i smartphone blasted inside the train. The Realme smartphone was on charging and when the passenger attempted to disconnect his phone from the charger, the device exploded, and thick smoke engulfed his coach and the adjoining ones in a few minutes
"Passengers of the compartment started screaming as they spotted smoke emitting from the passage of the toilet in between the C-11 and C-12 coaches. The train was halted immediately and the main doors of the two coaches were opened for clearing the smoke,".
The incident delayed the train by around 35 minutes. The electrical lines in the train were unaffected and luckily no one was injured in the incident.

OnePlus Becomes The World's Fastest Brand To Ship Green Lines
After hitting the market, it seems the newly released & the latest smartphone i.e OnePlus Nord 4 decided to debut its own special feature: Green Lines.
A user purchased the OnePlus Nord 4 smartphone in India (8GB RAM with 256GB storage config) and within just 12 hours, green lines introduced themselves. Acc. to the user, he bought the phone last night, and the screen went green after "just one hour" of usage. Updated the software, and voilà – Green Line Achievement Unlocked!
Nord 4 uses Tianma U8+ panel & OnePlus bragged about 69,420mm² large vapor chamber for heat dissipation & it still got green lines under 24hrs. OnePlus advertised that Nord 4 comes with 6yrs of System Fluency certification from TUV Rheinland but it seems that software updates are introducing green lines along with smoothness.
The user is requesting OnePlus to replace and give him a new Nord 4 instead of repairing it since not even 12hrs old.

Motorola Stopped Supporting Bootloader Unlock for Older Smartphones
Motorola is stopping bootloader unlocking for their older smartphones. Users of old Moto smartphones like Motorola G5 codenamed 'Cedric' or the Moto 1st Gen, when tried to the unlock bootloader, they are getting noted that "Your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking"
Upon contacting Motorola, the support responded that "the unlock key is no longer available due to its age" and thus the bootloader cannot be unlocked anymore. Its' such a shame to stop supporting bootloader unlocking of older phone since custom ROMs are still keeping older Moto upto-date.
Moto Z2 Force was launched in August, 2017 and still Motorola denied bootloader unlocking arguing that the unlock key is no-longer available. Meanwhile, LineageOS 21 based on Android 14 is still officially supported for Moto Z2 Force and it still gets updated with LOS nightly builds
