Oppo teases the first look of its upcoming smartwatch

Oppo’s smartwatch was first teased during Oppo’s Inno Day back in December. It talked about topics such as it's plans for 5G, its breakthrough technologies, and future devices such as smartwatches, smart earbuds, and even the announcement of AR glasses. Now, a company official has shared live images of the smartwatch. 

The Oppo Vice President, Brian Shen has taken to Chinese social media platform Weibo to share the first image of the company’s upcoming smartwatch. The wearable will have a square screen with curved edges and two buttons on the side. The official has refrained from giving out details regarding the name of the Oppo smartwatch or its key specs and features. However, he does note that the smartwatch will sport a flexible display with curved edges. The device can be seen sporting metal edges in gold and a cream silicone strap.  Shen says it could possibly be the ‘best looking smartwatch to launch this year'. 

 While the Oppo smartwatch bears strong resemblance to the Apple Watch, instead of one crown, it has two keys with a hole in between them. It could be a microphone, which could let users talk to their Oppo smartwatch without needing the smartphone. The wearable device is rumoured to come with ECG support. 

At Inno Day, the company showed a teaser for the upcoming smartwatch and smart true wireless earphone, which revealed a square display for the watch. On the other hand, the truly wireless earphones resembled the Apple Airpods. Both these devices are scheduled to launch in Q1 2020.

Realme X2 Pro starts receiving January security packs, VoWiFi feature with the new update

Last week, Realme India CEO Madhav Sheth promised the arrival of the VoWiFi feature on the Realme X2 Pro to enable Wi-Fi calling support. Now, the Realme X2 Pro has started receiving a new software update. It brings Wi-Fi calling support alongside the January 2020 security patch to fix various known security issues.

According to the changelog posted on the Realme community forum, the latest update for the Realme X2 Pro brings firmware version RMX1931EX_11.A.09.

In the forum post, Realme noted, “In order to ensure the stability of this update, it will have a staged rollout. The update will be randomly pushed out to a limited number of users today and will have a broader rollout in a few days after making sure there are no critical bugs. If no critical bugs are found, the full rollout will be completed in the upcoming days.”

The new software update has started rolling out for the Realme X2 Pro. It is a staged rollout. Realme enthusiasts who cannot wait for the update can manually download it from here.

Moto G Stylus live photos surface online

Motorola is all set to launch new smartphones at an event on February 23. It is said that the company may be looking forward to launching four new smartphones, namely - Moto G8, Moto G8 Power, Moto G Stylus and the Moto Edge+. Now, more information regarding the Moto G Stylus has surfaced online. The smartphone has leaked in live images, giving us our first look at the front of the handset.

The latest development comes from Twitter user Gustavo Gonzalez who allegedly has the pre-production unit of the Moto G Stylus. The image reveals the front panel of the handset. It is seen sporting a punch-hole display alongside a stylus. The latter looks pretty basic and does not appear to have any buttons for added functionality like Samsung’s S pens. One of the images show the stylus sitting beside the phone that has the Notes app opened on it. However, it is unclear if this is an exclusive Moto app.

Another leaked image shows a device that reads "Finish configuring your Moto G7". This could be because of the unfinished software on the pre-production unit. The smartphone is rumoured to run Android 10.

The Moto G Stylus bears the model number XT2043-4 and is expected to come with a 6.36-inch FHD+ display with a punch-hole notch. It may house a 25MP selfie shooter in the notch. One of the previously leaked images has shown the device sporting a quad rear camera setup. The Moto G Stylus is tipped to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 chipset, paired with 4GB RAM and 64GB of internal storage. It is expected to pack a 5000mAh battery with support for 18W fast charging.

Nokia 92 PureView could be first to sport an under-display camera

That all-essential selfie camera on top of the display is the biggest reason why we see notches of different kinds and shapes on smartphones today. While we’ve seen many different workarounds for the ‘notch problem’, we have yet to see a workaround that puts the selfie camera behind the display. Nokia, it seems, could be the first one to come up with such a technology on its upcoming flagship smartphone. According to a tweet from online tipster Nokia anew, Nokia is currently “testing” its “under-the-display front camera” on the the Nokia 9.2 PureView.

If Nokia succeeds in its venture, then the Nokia 9.2 PureView will be one of the first smartphones in the market to feature such technology and, hopefully, be more successful than previous models in the PureView family. Apart from wanting to learn how it works, smartphone critics such as ourselves will also want to understand just how ‘Pure’ the ‘View’ produced by the hidden camera is. Since Nokia hasn’t confirmed this development officially, we suggest you take it with a pinch of salt for the moment. 

Nokia has reportedly delayed the launch of its flagship smartphone for 2020. Referred to as the Nokia 9.1 PureView in online discussions, Nokia’s upcoming flagship was originally reported to employ Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 765 chip. However, more recent reports suggest Nokia will brand it as the Nokia 9.2 PureView (ditching any plans for a Nokia 9.1 PureView in the process) and equip it with Qualcomm’s top-of-the-line Snapdragon 865 chip. This rework is thought to be the cause of Nokia’s launch delay.

However, if you’re in the market for a Nokia PureView smartphone right now, you can consider the Nokia 9 PureView. Available through some online channels for around Rs 49,999, it's powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chip with up to 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage space. The handset’s ‘PureDisplay’ pOLED screen measures 5.99 inches diagonally and has a maximum resolution of 1440x2880 pixels. In addition, the Nokia 9 PureView sports a 12MP penta-camera setup on its back panel and a single 20MP selfie camera. You can read more about its advanced camera system here.

Note: Cover image represents the outgoing model, the Nokia 9 PureView

Apple reports record earnings for first quarter, iPhone still its highest earner

Apple just got done with its earnings call for the quarter, ending on December 2018, declaring it to be a record-setting quarter. The company reported a quarterly revenue of $91.8 billion, a 9 percent gain over the same quarter from last year. According to Apple, 61 percent of the quarter’s revenue came from international markets.

A closer look at the revenue numbers from Apple’s earnings report sheds light on some very interesting revelations. For example, while Apple says that 61 percent of the revenue came from markets outside of the U.S, almost 60 percent of the revenue was generated by the iPhone alone. Apple CEO Tim Cook said that the strong demand for the iPhone 11 and the iPhone 11 Pro during the holiday season was a strong contributor to the company’s record-setting growth. For perspective, of the $91.8 billion revenue, $55.9 billion was generated by iPhone sales, alone. The numbers are for net sales, meaning that any returns and discounts offered have been deducted from the final figure. The Services wing generated $12.715 billion in revenue, taking the second spot in the revenue tally. The wearables category also showed strong growth, earning Apple $10 billion in revenue, a marked improvement over the $7.3 billion from the same quarter the year before. What is surprising is that the revenue from the Mac and iPad dropped in comparison to the same quarter the year before. However, in comparison to the quarter ending September, both Mac and iPad sales did pick up, most likely owing to the general uptake in sales during the holiday season.

2019 saw Apple launch notable new products like the Apple iPhone 11 Pro (review) and the iPhone 11 (review) alongside the long-awaited 16-inch MacBook Pro. The company also announced an all-new MacPro with some serious hardware inside. There are many rumors about what’s coming from Cupertino in the coming months, but for now, it's just better to wait and watch rather than get prematurely excited.

Motorola Edge+ spotted on Geekbench, may feature Snapdragon 865 SoC, 12GB RAM

Motorola is rumoured to be working on a flagship smartphone that could be called Motorola Edge+. The device is expected to be launched at an event on February 23 during MWC 2020. The phone name was first tipped by tipster Evan Blass. He claimed that Motorola Edge+ could be launched by the company on Verizon in the US and it will carry a hole-punch display design. Now, it has appeared on Geekbench listing. 

Upcoming Motorola flagship phone, Motorola Edge+ has appeared in the database of benchmark Geekbench. It scored 4106 in the single-core test and recorded a score of 12823 in the multi-core test. It is shown to be powered by an octa-core processor that has a base frequency of 1.80GHz. It is mentioned as “burton” in the motherboard field. Although that codename has appeared online for the first time, it is expected to be referring to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset.

Motorola Edge+ is likely to run Android 10. The Geekbench listing also revealed that the device could come with 12GB RAM. Other specifications of the smartphone are yet to be known. But we expect more details to show up online as we inch closer to the launch date. 

Motorola Edge+ is expected to come with a punch-hole display. However, there is no word on the position of the punch-hole. It could be on the top-left or top-right corner of the display. To recall, Motorola One Vision that was unveiled a few months ago was the first punch-hole display from the company. Moreover, the leaked Moto G8 renders show a punch-hole display as well.

For reference, Moto Z2 Force was the last flagship phone revealed by the company. It was launched way back in 2017. Moto Z3 and Moto Z4 did make it to the market but they featured non-flagship chipsets. Hence, Motorola Edge+ could mark the return of Motorola in the flagship arena.

New Realme smartphones with Android 10, 4300mAh battery and more spotted on US FCC Certification website

Two new Realme smartphones are in works. The devices carry model numbers RMX2063 and RMX2001. The two smartphones have been spotted on the database of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the US. The company is also rumoured to be prepping for the launch of a new flagship with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC. However, the two devices are expected to debut as Realme’s next-generation affordable models.

According to the FCC listing, the Realme phone with model number RMX2063 measures 163.9x75.8x9.4mm (WHD) and weighs 196 grams. The phone is listed to run on ColorOS 7, which means it could run Android 10. The phone appears to have a 4300mAh battery. Moreover, the schematics available in the FCC database suggest a power button on the right side and a volume rocker on the left. To recall, a Realme phone with model number RMX2061 had reportedly received a BIS certification in India. 

Other than the Realme RMX2063, another smartphone with model number RMX2001 appears to be in development. The listing suggests that it measures 162.1x74.8x9.6mm (WHD) and weighs 191 grams. It also packs a 4300mAh battery and runs ColorOS 7, which is similar to the Realme RMX2063.

The two model numbers suggest that they are two different smartphones and not variants of a single smartphone. For reference, the Realme X had RMX1901 and RMX1951 as the model numbers. Hence, these two smartphones could be upgrades of the Realme X series.

Separately, a Realme smartphone was recently spotted on AnTuTu with model number RMX2071 and Snapdragon 865 chipset. It is said to be showcased by the company at MWC 2020 in Barcelona next month.

Samsung Galaxy Fold successor may come with Snapdragon 865, S Pen and more

Samsung is reportedly readying a true Galaxy Fold successor despite its plans to launch another foldable phone, the Galaxy Z Flip alongside the Galaxy S20 series. The Galaxy Z Flip is likely to be a clamshell foldable phone like the Motorola Razr (2019). On the other hand, the Galaxy Fold successor is expected to be designed on the roots of the original Fold. The specifications of the upcoming Galaxy Fold have surfaced online.

Max Weinbach from XDA Developers has shared speculated specs of the true successor for the Galaxy Fold, which could be launched in the second quarter of 2020. The Galaxy Fold successor is expected to be a 5G device powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC. It is likely to feature an 8-inch display with ultra-thin glass that is expected to be seen on the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip. The purported Galaxy Fold successor could come with a 108MP main camera. Moreover, it is tipped to be accompanied by an S Pen stylus, which would make it the first non-Note series Samsung phone to support the S Pen.

For reference, Galaxy Z Flip is rumoured to feature an ultra-thin glass display with a plastic layer on top. The additional plastic layer is said to ensure the display is not scratched easily. Further, Galaxy Z Flip foldable phone is tipped to pack a 3300mAh battery. In contrast, the Galaxy Fold had a battery capacity of 4380mAh. But then, the Galaxy Z Flip is likely to be a clamshell device with a smaller display on the body. To compare, Motorola Razr (2019) packs a 2510mAh battery.

Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy Z Flip alongside the Galaxy S20 series in February.

TVS iQube electric scooter with 75km range quietly introduced at Rs 115 lakh

TVS Motor and Bajaj Auto have for long been close competitors in the sub-250cc motorcycle market and they now appear to be taking the competition to the electric mobility space as well. In less than a fortnight after the official launch of Bajaj’s Chetak electric scooter, TVS has introduced its own electric scooter. Called TVS iQube, the scooter delivers a riding range of 75 kilometres on a single charge. The TVS iQube is currently on sale only in Bengaluru for an on-road price of Rs 1,15,000.

While the Bajaj Chetak sports a curvy, Vespa-inspired styling, the TVS iQube goes in for a squarish, white Honda ASIMO-like design. Powered by three lithium-ion battery packs, the electric motor on the iQube puts out 4.4kW of power. TVS says it’s enough to propel the scooter from 0 to 40 kilometres per hour in 4.2 seconds and achieve a top speed of 78 kilometres per hour. The IP67-rated battery can be charged using the bundled charging kit and a 5A domestic wall socket. While a full charge can take up to 5 hours to happen, TVS says a “day-long ride” can be achieved with just an hour of charging.

The TVS iQube features a digital instrument cluster in the form of a colour TFT display, which displays the battery charge status, service reminders, and other riding data. Like the Bajaj Chetak, the TVS iQube connects with the user’s smartphone via Bluetooth for extended functionality. With the optional TVS SmartXonnect service, an iQube user can use features such as geofencing and incoming call alerts. They can also enable turn-by-turn navigation on the instrument cluster when their smartphone is connected. 

The iQube comes with LED lighting all around. It features a ‘Q-park assist’ system that allows the user to pull out the scooter from tight spots more easily using the power of the electric motor. It has a storage bin under the seat that’s equipped with a USB charging port. According to TVS, the scooter can manage gradients of up to 10 degrees. The front brake is a 220-millimetre disc, while the rear brake is a 130-millimetre drum. The scooter weighs 118 kilogrammes. Currently available only in Bengaluru, the TVS iQube can be ordered online on TVS Motor’s website here.

Looking closely at the stylus, it doesn’t seem to have a pressure-sensitive tip that exists on the S Pen of Samsung’s Galaxy Note series. Therefore, the phone could be a mid-range offering like the LG G Stylus series and not a top-end option. 

This is the first Motorola phone with a stylus. The leaked render comes after alleged Moto G Stylus with model number XT2043-4 appeared on the Radio Equipment List (REL) on the Government of Canada website. It received approval Canadian authority in early January. It also surfaced on the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) website with the same model number.

The name of the phone is unknown but Evan Blass says it is not the Motorola Edge+. The leaked phone is expected to run Android 10 out of the box.

Samsung Galaxy A21s with secondary macro camera on the cards: Report

Samsung appears to be paying special attention to its Galaxy A-series of entry-level and mid-range smartphones in this new year. Last month, it officially announced the Galaxy A51 and Galaxy A71 smartphones globally, both of which are confirmed to go live in the Indian market in the next few days. According to a new report from Sammobile, the Korean electronics manufacturer is now working on an entry-level model called Galaxy A21s with dual cameras. Other models reportedly in the works are the Galaxy A41 and possibly the Galaxy A31.

According to the report, the Galaxy A21s is not preceded by a ‘non-s’ Galaxy A21, as has been the case with many Galaxy A-series models in the past. Rather, it’s possible Samsung will market the same phone in the US as the Galaxy A21 and in other markets as the Galaxy A21s. Not much about the Galaxy A21s is known at this point. It is expected to come in two storage variants, namely 32GB and 64GB. It will also come in a number of colour options, namely blue, red, black, and white.

The Samsung Galaxy A21s, whose model number is most likely SM-A217F, is expected to sport a dual camera setup on its back panel even though it’s an entry-level device. Though the report doesn’t shed light on the resolution of the primary sensor, it does confirm the presence of a 2MP macro sensor. A macro sensor (of unknown resolution) is also expected to do duty on the more mysterious Galaxy A41. The information we have on hand so far suggests that Samsung is betting big on macro photography even on entry-level models.

The Samsung Galaxy A51 and Galaxy A71, which were announced globally last month, are expected to become available on Samsung’s online store in the next few days. The Galaxy A51 features an Exynos 9611 chip with up to 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. The slightly larger Galaxy A71 features the same maximum RAM and storage options but gets a Qualcomm Snapdragon 730 chip. The Galaxy A51 is expected to be priced at Rs 22,990, while the Galaxy A71 is expected to be priced at Rs 29,990. You can read more about them here.

Lenovo ThinkPad E14 quietly introduced in India, configurable from Rs 42,836

In early December 2019, we reported that Lenovo would switch to a simpler format of model numbers on its popular ThinkPad line of business laptops. We noted that two of the models in the E-series—the ThinkPad E490 and ThinkPad E495—were running out of numbers in the ‘400’ series and that they would be succeeded by the ThinkPad E14, which was already spotted in some Asian markets. And now, it appears Lenovo has quietly brought the ThinkPad E14 to India as well. According to the Lenovo India website, the ThinkPad E14 starts at Rs 42,836.

The ThinkPad E-series has always consisted of entry-level business laptops and the latest ThinkPad E14 is no different. When compared with its predecessors, it is slightly slimmer. New features include stereo speakers by Harman Kardon and the proprietary ThinkShutter webcam privacy slider. Though it succeeds the Intel-powered ThinkPad E490 and the AMD-powered ThinkPad E495 in terms of generation, the ThinkPad E14 comes with only Intel CPU options at the moment. In fact, Lenovo has not listed any readily shippable variants for the ThinkPad E14 on its official website. Instead, it has made the model fully configurable using Lenovo’s recently launched ‘Build your own’ online model configurator.

The ThinkPad E14 can be configured with up to an Intel 10th Gen Core i7 CPU with four cores. System RAM ranges from 4GB to 16GB. Internal storage options include a 2.5-inch hard drive with up to 2TB capacity and a PCIe NVMe solid-state drive with up to 512GB capacity. Because the laptop features dual storage, you can have a hard drive and a solid-state drive. One of the solid-state drive options included is an Opal-compliant self-encrypting unit. Though the 14-inch screen has Full HD resolution as standard, you’ll have to pay more for the IPS panel with 250 nits of brightness. There’s a single discrete graphics option, namely the AMD Radeon RX 640 card with up to 2GB of GDDR5 video RAM.

Apart from the aforementioned options, there are a few more configurable elements on the ThinkPad E14 online configurator. For example, you could throw in a backlit keyboard (something the previous models didn’t have) and a fingerprint reader (integrated into the power button now). You can also upgrade to Intel Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0. By default, the laptop comes with no operating system; Windows 10 is an optional purchase. A fully kitted-out ThinkPad E14 with Windows 10 Pro will set you back Rs 97,164, while the most basic trim with no Windows OS at all will cost you Rs 42,836.

Astronauts bake cookies in space for first time using special space oven

In what will go down in history as one of the many firsts in space, astronauts aboard the International Space Station successfully baked food using a special oven designed to work specifically in microgravity. Astronauts Luca Parmitano and Christina Koch baked five chocolate chip cookies in separate batches during Christmastime as part of a food science experiment to explore cooking options in long-haul space voyages. While the space station was filled with the aroma of fresh cookies during the experiment, the astronauts got to eat none of them. Three of them were returned to Earth earlier this month for testing.

The special space oven the astronauts used to bake cookies was designed and built by a New York-based duo called Zero G Kitchen. The oven was installed by space station services provider Nanoracks. The oven looks slightly larger than a regular microwave unit and consists of a long, tubular section for baking food. Since convection can’t be achieved in space, the oven relies on electric heating elements in the same way a typical kitchen toaster does. Designed to draw small amounts of power from the space station’s internal power grid, the plug-and-play oven can heat food up to 177 degrees Celsius.

The dough for baking cookies in space was provided by DoubleTree by Hilton, a large American hotel chain that’s known for its cookies. According to a report by CNN, the astronauts baked the first four cookies at 148.8 degrees Celsius for 25 minutes, 75 minutes, and 120 minutes, respectively. They baked the fifth cookie at a slightly higher 162.7 degrees Celsius for 130 minutes before letting it cool for about ten minutes. The fourth and fifth cookies were considered to be the most successful because of their extended baking times.

“While we have initial visual and scent feedback from the crew aboard the ISS, we're excited to dive into fully understanding the baking results -- including breaking down why the bake time and temperature in space varies from what we are used to seeing on Earth, as well as if the baking tray, which was designed specifically for microgravity, impacted the final shape of the baked cookies,” commented Mary Murphy, Senior Internal Payloads Manager at Nanoracks. Meanwhile, NASA astronaut Christina Koch tweeted an image of the baked cookies in space a day after Christmas.

OnePlus reveals Concept One prototype in original all-black leather finish

Whether you like the OnePlus Concept One prototype or not, it’s safe to say it turned heads when the popular Chinese electronics manufacturer showcased it at CES earlier this month. If you’re a fan of it, here’s a fun fact for you: the OnePlus Concept One prototype originally donned a plain black leather finish before it took on McLaren’s signature papaya orange look for the CES demoes. OnePlus recently published photos of the prototype smartphone in its original black trim on the OnePlus Community while sharing a bit more information on its conception.

Renowned automaker McLaren started using the papaya orange colour in 1968 for Formula One races, beginning with the McLaren M7A. Today, it’s seen on the 720S sports car as well. OnePlus, which has often collaborated with McLaren to create McLaren-inspired OnePlus models, says it drew inspiration from the 720S when it styled the Concept One prototype. “We worked with McLaren on applying the same premium leather that is used on the 720s,” comments Kevin Tao from the OnePlus Industrial Design team.

According to Tao, it took OnePlus three months to optimise that famous ‘invisible cameras’ technology on the Concept One prototype for speed and power consumption. OnePlus new technology, which uses electrochromic glass, can electronically hide or show the camera stack on the rear panel of the Concept One prototype in 0.7 seconds. Talking about mainstream availability of the technology in the market, Tao adds, “A new technology application requires user and market feedback, and when the time is ripe we will introduce it to the market.”

Tao also believes OnePlus is stepping into a new design territory that reflects the marriage of traditional design elements (colours, material, finish) on a smartphone with electronic components, as seen on the Concept One prototype. “We are now working with materials that have dynamic properties, properties we can control and tune however we like, and that then become part of the functionality of a device,” he adds. It’s entirely possible that the ‘invisible cameras’ technology we saw on the Concept One prototype will make it to the market in a OnePlus model someday soon.

OnePlus 8 Pro rumoured to support wireless charging

Information circulating the internet suggests that the OnePlus 8 Pro could sport wireless charging. The information is posted on twitter via leakster Max J. who tweeted an image of a smartphone charging on a wireless charging pad, with the caption, “Charge like a pro”. The phone doesn't explicitly look like a OnePlus 8 Pro, but the “Charge like a pro” cation has led many to believe that the upcoming OnePlus 8 Pro will support wireless charging. One needs to take this information with a grain of salt as OnePlus CEO Pete Lau has said that he finds wireless charging "too slow" and "it's just not worth it" when compared to the fast charging technology that comes with Warp Charge. This information comes from an interview on The Vergecast. 

It is also speculated that the wireless charging capabilities will only make an appearance on the OnePlus 8 Pro and not the OnePlus 8. It is also speculated that a mid-ranged OnePlus christened the OnePlus 8 Lite will make an appearance alongside the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro. 

In November, Max J. also tweeted that the OnePlus 8 could feature a 120Hz display. In January 2020, OnePlus confirmed the existence of a 2K 120Hz display. According to the company, the new screen uses MEMC technology for smoother video playback and a QHD+ resolution. It also comes with 4096 levels of brightness control. You can read more about the 120Hz display here. 

OnePlus isn't the only company looking at implementing a 120Hz display on its smartphone. Samsung is expected to implement the same on its upcoming Galaxy S20 flagship and Oppo is also expected to implement the technology in the upcoming Find X2. You can read more about the upcoming Find X2 here and the S20 120Hz display here.

MG ZS EV officially launched in India starting at Rs 2088 lakh

When MG Motor announced the ZS EV in early December last year, we received little information about the pricing and availability of its all-electric SUV. Today, the British auto brand has officially lifted the veil on some of those key details. Available in the market starting today, the MG ZS EV costs Rs 20.88 lakh for the base ‘Excite’ variant and Rs 23.58 lakh for the high-end ‘Exclusive’ variant. That said, the first 2,800 customers who pre-ordered the ZS EV before January 17 enjoy a discount of Rs 1 lakh on both variants.

Being a proper electric vehicle (EV), the MG ZS EV is powered by a 44.5kWh battery that's good for a claimed driving range of 340 kilometres on a single charge. Because it's IP67-rated, the battery is resistant to dust and water (up to 1 metre depth). The electric motor that the battery is connected to puts out a total of 143 horsepower, which can launch the car from 0 to 100 kilometres per hour in 8.5 seconds. The ZS EV comes with a number of AC and DC charging options. It comes bundled with a domestic AC charging kit, which takes between six and eight hours to charge the car fully from a 15A domestic wall socket.

On the inside, the MG ZS EV contains numerous creature comforts and digital aids, such as an inbuilt air purifier that works against PM 2.5 particles, a panoramic sunroof, and a large 8-inch landscape-style touchscreen display for infotainment. This display  also shows the amount of carbon footprint saved on previous trips. Like many new cars these days, the infotainment unit comes with support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The software powering it is iSMART EV 2.0, a reworked edition of the MG Hector's iSMART system. You can read more about that here.

The MG ZS EV competes directly with the Hyundai Kona Electric, which was launched last year at a starting price of Rs 25.30 lakh. In comparison to the ZS EV, the Kona Electric sports a smaller 39.2kWh battery but promises a higher ARAI-certified range of 452 kilometres on a single charge. The permanent-magnet synchronous electric motor inside the Kona Electric is capable of delivering a total of 136 horsepower. The car can go from 0 to 100 kilometres per hour in 9.7 seconds. You can read more about the Hyundai Kona here.
