Apple will soon be launching the iPhone 15 series that will be having some new features like USB Type-C over Lightning, along with a periscope-style telephoto lens on some of the handsets, etc. to name a few that will be revealed in due course.

People have already started making speculations regarding its release date even though its barely two months since iPhone 14 series hit the market but with the advent of the new year, 2023, everyone will anyhow start guessing about when the next series of Apple smartphones might come out.

Highlights

Apple iPhone 15 is one of the most awaited smartphone series from the tech giant that will come with new features like a telephoto lens resembling a periscope and USB Type-C over Lightning.
The iPhone 15 series might comprise of iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Ultra for which Apple has laid out some of its best plans.
Apple will be launching a smartphone for a 17th year in a row, while its first ever launch was way back in 2007.

What New to Look for in iPhone 15

Apple had a wonderful year in 2022 when it launched a slew of devices, including the iPhone 14 series in September 2022 that was quite well received but now that 2023 has finally arrived, Apple users are eagerly awaiting for news regarding the launch of the iPhone 15 series.

Whenever a new device is eagerly awaited, many people start making speculations beforehand regarding its launch even though, in this case, it’s barely two months since the iPhone 14 series hit the market and besides, it is never too early for making speculations regarding a smartphone’s release date.

The eagerness and excitement with which people are making speculations for a release date of the iPhone 15 series is quite understandable because Apple has promised to introduce some new features for the series, which comprises of iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Ultra.

iPhone 15 Release: Tabular Data of Earlier iPhone Launches

2023 will be the 17^th year in a row that Apple will be releasing a new smartphone, which means that the company has a long history of iPhone release dates that go back to 2007 when Apple previewed the first ever iPhone prior to its launch and seven years later in 2014, it changed the release window due to iPhones coming out during fall.

The following table gives a list of all the flagship iPhone series released in the past 8 years right from the iPhone 6s series that debuted in 2015, aside from the actual release date of each smartphone and the launch event date for each of the announcements.

Phone	Announce date	Release date
iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Pro Max	September 7, 2022	September 16, 2022
iPhone 14 Plus	September 7, 2022	October 7, 2022
iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max	September 14, 2021	September 24, 2021
iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro	October 13, 2020	October 23, 2020
iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12 Pro Max	October 13, 2020	November 13, 2020
iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max	September 10. 2019	September 20, 2019

iPhone X	September 12, 2017	November 3, 2017
iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus	September 7, 2016	September 16, 2016
iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus	September 9, 2015	September 25, 2015

iPhone 15 Release Date: Expectations

Although there many speculations going on regarding the release date, Apple has not hinted at any particular time for the release of the iPhone 15 series, which is why one can only do guesswork based on Apple’s past performance that gives hints of their future plans.

As can be observed in the aforementioned table, Apple has a specific month when it announces its new smartphones i.e. September, except for 2020, the year that was dominated by a global pandemic, while the announcement dates are not just random ones in September but have all come within the first two weeks of the month.

There is a noticeable pattern in the release dates as well as Apple ships its smartphones 10 days after announcing their release date, with some notable exceptions, although it has also been noticed that sometimes Apple staggers the launch of certain handsets like iPhone X in 2017 and iPhone XR in 2018.

Therefore given Apple’s pattern, it is highly possible, or probable, that the announcement regarding the iPhone 15 series might happen within the first two weeks of September 2023 from September 4 to September 14.

It must be noted that Apple mostly holds its product announcements on Tuesdays, whenever possible, while September 4 is Labor Day holiday in the United States, which rules out that particular day and may very well avoid September 5, which is a Tuesday that comes off a three-day weekend.

If Apple sticks to its old habit of shipping smartphones 10 days after the launch event, the release date for the iPhone 15 series should be set around September 22, 2023, although it also comes with certain caveats as predicting anything with complete confidence nine months in advance is foolish and immature.

Nine months is a long period where many things can change between now and then, which is why you should not take it for granted that the iPhone 15 series will definitely come out on the given date.

8 Rumored Features For The Upcoming iPhone 15

It is way too early to say anything for certain regarding the launch date of the iPhone 15 series as the aforementioned points are mere guesswork and not astrological predictions or a weather forecast but just some points that speculate that the new smartphone series might come out during September 2023.

Dynamic Island is a word that not many people have heard of but when Apple launched its iPhone 14 lineup, there were many rumours going around regarding a big change the company was about to bring in the new smartphone series called Dynamic Island.

For the unversed, Dynamic Island is the new pill design that Apple hopes would be a gamechanger in many aspects as it will be used for displaying notifications for transactions made on Apple Pay.

Highlights

Apple has come up with a new notch feature at the top called Dynamic Island for both iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.
With the help of Dynamic Island, users will now be able to see the displayed notifications from Apple Pay transactions, AirDrop transfers, low-batter warnings.
Dynamic Island can also be seen in a longer window where you just need to tap the feature to launch it in its full-screen app.

Dynamic Island In Brief

Apple had launched the iPhone 14 series smartphones during the ‘Far Out’ event held in California on September 7, 2022, along with several other devices, but the company had promised to bring in major changes in the new smartphone models, which is the redesign of the iPhone notch at the top, which has been classified as notorious.

The redesigned feature is called Dynamic Island that has been confirmed to come in iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, which Apple has confirmed will be a new pill design and resolved to launch it soon after facing major flak from many Apple users over the smartphone’s notch, so now the notch is redesigned as a pill-shaped cutout called Dynamic Island.

While Dynamic Island is now featured on iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max, it is unavailable on the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus, although Apple has confirmed that it will be featured on all iPhone 15 smartphone models launched in the future where users with a Pro model don’t need to enable or configure anything for the Dynamic Island to do the job as it automatically comes in once the phone is unlocked and any supported activity is running.

iPhone 14 Vanilla Model- Users’ Preference

Steps to Use Dynamic Island

The Dynamic Island displays notifications for Apple Pay transactions, privacy indicators, low battery warnings, background tasks like Apple Maps directions, music being played, incoming phone calls, screen recordings, SharePlay sessions.

Step 1- Apple Pay

Once you make a purchase on Apple Pay, the dynamic island app displays a swirling green image to indicate Face ID authentication where you have to double-check the side button to confirm its transaction and when the face is authenticated and transaction is complete, the image turns into a green smiley face.

Step 2- AirDrop Transfer

AirDrop Transfer is another excellent way to use Dynamic Island as it works as a visual status indicator because once the items are shared with you, the AirDrop status indicator pops up once the files are transferred completely.

Step 3: Timer Set

Another step is to set a timer through Dynamic Island, which can be done by opening the clock app and setting it up as the Island feature displays the countdown in minutes where you expand the info by pressing down the display.

Step 4: Apple Maps

You can also return to the home screen while navigating Apple maps and see the turn-by-turn directions via Dynamic Island. All you need to do is to press the down display to show the next turn with an option to end the route.

Among these issues changing the true caller name is one of them, the good news is it can be solved. Before going ahead and knowing the steps to resolve the problem let’s know the ‘why’ or reason for such a scenario.

Why is TrueCaller Showing the Wrong Name?

If we simply get into this, the details and the name of the contact are gathered by a true caller from the phonebook of the mobile where the app is installed. And via the crowd-sourcing method, truecaller gets all the information.

During this entire process, the name against that specific contact number gets amalgamated by their profession or where the person is working, resulting in giving a completely different meaning to the contact number.

Sometimes the case can be different if the phone number previously belonged to the other party and the truecaller has gathered the old information and the prior owner’s name for that number.

Concluding the scenario here, we can say why it is required to change the number on truecaller sometimes as follows:

The wrong combination of a name with information gathered from the crowd-sourcing method.
The discrepancies occurred on the newly acquired number, as the truecaller still shows the name of the former owner.

The steps to change the name on truecaller

Change the true caller name in the Android device:

With the Truecaller app installed on Android handsets, the users need to change the name. Follow the following instructions:

First, open the Truecaller App, and go to the profile icon that appears in the top left corner.
Click on ‘Edit Profile’.
There you can edit the name or rectify the name on the true caller.

The case of changing names in truecaller for iPhone users. The instructions are as follows:

Go to the Truecaller app on the iPhone, and select the profile icon that can be seen in the top left corner.
Click on ‘edit profile’
Now, you can edit the modified or rectified name on the true caller app.

Note that in cases where the profile is freshly updated, do wait for 24-48 hours to get the required and updated details appearing on the true caller app.

Conclusion

Nowadays a true caller is the real deal, to change the names on the app, the steps are simple, and as mentioned above do follow these steps to get the desired results.

2022 Winners and Loser Gadgets – Samsung, Xiaomi, and Apple

2022 wasn’t an easy year for the consumer electronics industry including the smartphone market segment with the pandemic after effects and looming economic downturn. The smartphone industry is competitive and always looking for market disruptors, which is why every brand constantly tries to reinvent its portfolio.

In this quest, we get a range of new products every year with some of them turning out to be winner and loser gadgets. Leading brands such as Apple, Xiaomi and Samsung also present an assortment of budget to mid range smartphones with some cool features and high-end specifications.

In order to understand how the top brands – Apple, Xiaomi, and Samsung – faired with their new product launches and which are the 2022 winners and loser gadgets, let’s get into the details of each brand one by one.

Samsung – 2022 Winners and Loser Gadgets

Samsung has been at the top of its game ever since it entered the smartphone segment. However, as a well-established brand, the journey henceforth gets even more challenging in itself and then there is always the competition from newer brands.

But this is where Samsung has always managed to emerge victorious with its capable portfolio of mid-ranges, flagships, accessories and other gadgets. Let’s look at the 2022 winners and losers for Samsung.

Winner: Galaxy S22 Ultra

The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is a perfect flagship product with premium camera features that most users can’t stop raving about. The Galaxy S22 Ultra has been one of the most popular products from the brand’s lineup and a clear winner for Samsung.

Winner: Galaxy Z Fold4 and Galaxy Z Flip4

The Galaxy Z Fold4 and Galaxy Z Flip4 are again two absolute winners from the brand’s portfolio of the year. While the Galaxy Z Fold4 with its 50MP main camera and a 3x telephoto camera over its predecessor is an absolute star, the Galaxy Z Flip4 with battery and charging speed boost makes it a killer combination that is hard to miss.

Losers: Galaxy S22 and S22+

Let’s keep the Ultra model aside and look at the S22 series, disappointment is bound to happen. No one can argue that the Galaxy S22 series remained underwhelming especially when you look at it as an upgrade from the S21.

There are many reasons to complain but let’s highlight the smaller rear panel and underwhelming camera set-ups.

Losers: Galaxy Watch5 and Watch5 Pro

Samsung brought the latest colour options and clad them with Sapphire crystal, something that does give the smartwatch a nice touch. However, both Galaxy Watch 5 and Watch 5 Pro use the same Exynos W920 chip and sensors as Galaxy Watch4. Now, this automatically reduces the appeal of the new watches as compared to the old ones.

Xiaomi – 2022 Winners and Loser Gadgets

Being one of the major players in the Indian smartphone market, Xiaomi was in the middle of a financially turbulent 2022. However, that never affected its gadget lineup as the company launched some great products throughout the year.

We got a range of Redmi Note 11 phones, some Poco phones and also an exciting Xiaomi 12 series beasts. But what turned out to be a winner and loser for the brand is what we are here to see. Let’s find out.

Winner: Xiaomi 12S Ultra

This smartphone was an instant winner when it arrived. The 1”-type 50MP main camera sensor with two more shooters provided one of the most capable camera setups that one can find in the market today at the given price range.

Now widely recognised as a cameraphone, Xiaomi 12S Ultra is a sure-shot winner without second thoughts for the year 2022.

Winner: Xiaomi 12T Pro

Another winner, if we had to choose one, has to be 12T Pro. When Xiaomi decided to have no Ultra phones this year, the Pro variants somehow turned out to be the next best thing on its portfolio.

Being the brand’s international flagship, the affordable Xiaomi 12T Pro with Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset and a 200 MP camera quickly became one of the sought-after smartphones in its entire portfolio.

Loser: Xiaomi Mix Fold 2

Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 is Xiaomi’s second-generation foldable device, which interestingly never got an international release. As a second-generation gadget, most people would agree that the device was rather unprepared or half-baked.

Keeping everything aside, the custom MIUI limiting the multitasking capabilities of the smartphone is what takes away most of the value from the smartphone.

Loser: Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 series

This is a perfect case of when you don’t know how to handle the success of one product. The Redmi Note family is surely one of the best-selling smartphone series in Xiaomi’s portfolio.

But in 2022, Xiaomi ended up confusing not only its customers but also many tech experts. The brand released the same phone with the same name but different specs in different locations and no one really got the better of it.

Apple – 2022 Winners and Loser Gadgets

Apple’s 2022 has been a good year with some good products and some great product launches. On one hand, we have the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max smashing through the high-end smartphone segment, on the other hand, we had accessories such as the Apple MR headset and Apple Watch Ultra launched this year. So, let’s look at the 2022 winners and losers from Apple’s lineup.

Winners: iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max

We can all them Apple’s best-seller of 2022. The 14 Pro has been the most moving Apple product out of the four iPhone 14 models.

The first Dynamic Island notch, the first truly high-megapixel camera on an iPhone, autofocusing ultrawide cameras, and the latest A16 Bionic chipset, iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max gave us many reasons to be termed as the winners of 2022.

Loser: iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone mini

2022 is also the year when Apple decided to take the leap with iPhone 14 Plus and stop the already underwhelming Mini. However, even the 14 Plus couldn’t enter the trending list.

This, on the other hand, proves that customers aren’t keen on investing in an iPhone that is non-pro. Overall, it is not easy to assume which one between iPhone 14 Plus and iPhone mini performed worse than the other.

Glass Onion, a Knives Out Mystery: A Review

Glass Onion, the effervescent sequel to Knives Out that recently premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, is probably more horrible—or, at the very least, awful in broader and more noticeable ways.

While Rian Johnson’s first whodunit focused on the stunted family of a famous novelist, individuals who at least pretended to be respectable, his latest one focuses on a gang of “disruptors” who are prominent enough to perform their respective grifts openly. Claire Debella (Kathryn Hahn) is Connecticut’s governor and an aspiring senator who talks tough on CNN while secretly permitting experimental technology in exchange for donation money.

Lionel Toussaint (Leslie Odom Jr.) is the head scientist at Alpha, the corporation responsible for the untested technology, and has hurried timetables and ignored safety measures at his boss’s request.

Birdie Jay (Kate Hudson) is a television celebrity turned sweatband brand owner who is prone to viral scandals to the point where her secretary, Peg (Jessica Henwick), keeps her phone. Duke Cody (Dave Bautista) is a social media star who has turned alt-right, using his pistol and his much younger lover, Whiskey (Madelyn Cline), as props.

Miles Bron (Edward Norton), the host of the weekend vacation during which the story emerges, is the wealthiest and most repulsive of them all, a tycoon and reputed genius who doesn’t appear to do much except self-mythologize and use his money to bully people
around.

He owes a lot to Elon Musk, but all of these eroding foundations of modern society are meant to feel at least a little familiar. Glass Onion is larger and much better organised than Knives Out, but what makes it a more enjoyable film is that it spends more time with its characters rather than showing off their rot right away.

Instead, they have the hollowness that comes from a lifetime of little moral choices, culminating in a trip to a Greek island with some old acquaintances and discussing how the murder has to be planned.

Obviously, there is a murder, though it occurs later rather than earlier in the film, as tensions build during an annual gathering on Miles’s private Greek island, where he’s built a delightfully hideous mansion complete with a see-through dome filled with billionaire bachelor pad décor—a douchebag Taj Mahal.

Miles plans to hold a murder mystery party this year, but he has two surprise guests. Andi (Janelle Monáe), his former business partner who unsuccessfully sued him after he fired her, was not expected to appear. And although Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig), the master detective from Knives Out, wasn’t invited, he ended up receiving one of the special puzzle boxes. Miles had sent out to his chosen guests.

Craig’s obvious joy in playing Blanc is infectious, with his neckerchiefs and Southernfried dialect, while Glass Onion’s longer wind-up provides peeks into the character’s personal life, including some random but delightful cameos.

Johnson lets events unfold until a critical party sequence, which is rendered shaky by its slightly too fast editing, and then returns us to the beginning, revisiting situations from multiple perspectives and with unexpected data that adds to the mystery of the theme.

Glass Onion is a movie that takes place at the beginning of the pandemic without seeming completely engulfed by it, despite the fact that it’s carefully crafted and situated in a lavish Mediterranean location.

Instead, COVID provides a setting as well as the inspiration for several important character traits, such as the iconic picture that Miles was able to borrow from a museum or Birdie’s preference for a pointless mesh face mask. Because so many of us were merely sitting at home, feeling frightened, alone, and incredibly bored, movies set during the early stages of our global familiarity with the novel coronavirus have a tendency to make us feel the same.

Even those who felt themselves to be nominally more responsible don’t seem like the kind of characters who would feel like they would be bound by those same norms under Glass Onion. In essence, they are building a pod in a very short, high-end version before launching immediately into the dramas that accompany the collapse of so many similar groupings.

Glass Onion’s critique takes into account the fallacies of the characters, who are of a suspicious nature. The very nature of rogues weaves the fabric that maintains the interest of viewers. This is in contrast to Knives Out, whose politics bordered on the self-congratulatory.

You miss the traditional building of a mystery (Agatha Christie-esque) in Knives Out, despite the ensemble cast and tale keeping you on the edge of your seat the entire time. The unsettling tension between people and their concealed motivations is released by Glass Onion’s increased aim to be a satire on Musk and social media.

Knives Out has excellent drama, storyline, and character development. Although Glass Onion isn’t as elaborate or difficult, it is undoubtedly twisting and fun to watch.

Johnson is a popular storyteller known for his excellent weaving of the theme that is not only entertaining but also satiric in the treatment of his characters. which is why Glass Onion is so entertaining.

Who will do what, and into what shades he has submerged his characters, are both unknown. A Knives Out Mystery, Glass Onion The story has layers of colour and many delightful surprises up its sleeve, just like its title suggests. Knives Out is
undoubtedly the one franchise I want to see continue with further chapters.

Pros

Excellent dialogue
Fantastic performances
Incredibly of-the-moment
Very rewatchable

Cons

Doesn’t really hit the highs of the first one

If you are a Marvel fan, you must have already seen Thor Love and Thunder, right? Well, if you haven’t then we must admit, we are surprised! And while we can’t promise to show you the film, what we can promise is to share our hands-on review of the Realme GT Neo 3 150W – Thor Love and Thunder Limited Edition Smartphone.

Realme launched this special edition after celebrating the Naruto Edition a few months back with Japanese ninja-inspired packaging and design. Interestingly, the Thor Love and Thunder Limited Edition isn’t as deeply customised as the Naruto Edition, which had its own special theme UI and icons.

Let’s find out more about this limited edition in our Realme GT Neo 3 150W hands-on review.

Unboxing Realme GT Neo 3 150W – Thor Love and Thunder Limited Edition

Realme GT Neo 3 150W Thor Love and Thunder Limited Edition come in stylish packing designed on the theme of Thor – the beloved Marvel character. The retail box is quite different from the regular Realme GT Neo 3 box and no one should be complaining about that because this packaging looks sleek and stylish from the get-go.

The smartphone box has this big size Mjolnir (Thor Hammer) and movie logo embossed on the top that reflects light in different lighting. Apart from that, the box has all the regular details including the key specifications, manufacturing details etc.

Moreover, the inner side of the upper cover of the box has Chris Hemsworth’s Thor and Natalie Portman’s Jane Foster/Mighty Thor.

Inside the box, you get the Realme GT Neo 3 150W Thor Love and Thunder Limited Edition smartphone nested tucked on the left side and Thor’s Stormbreaker wielded inspired a SIM ejector tool on the right side of the box.

You get a USB-C charging cable and a 160W power adapter as you lift the right side lid where the Stormbreaker wielded inspired SIM ejector tool was placed. On the left side, you will find a paper small box with Thor branding containing a protective case, user manual, smartphone documentation, and four strips of Thor stickers.

Under the Thor-branded paper box containing a protective case, you get a Mjolnir-inspired stainless steel medal with Realme branding on the other side. Along with that, you will also get a couple of cards – one each with Thor and Foster on it.

Realme GT Neo 3 150W – Thor Love and Thunder Limited Edition Smartphone Review

Realme GT Neo 3 150W – Thor Love and Thunder Limited Edition smartphone isn’t deeply customised when it comes to specifications and features unlike some other special edition smartphones launched by Realme in the past.

The Realme GT Neo 3 150W Limited Edition price in India is Rs 42,999, which is the same as the regular GT Neo 3 150W variant with the same RAM and storage.

The Limited Edition smartphone is only available in India either via Realme’s official website, or the e-commerce portal Flipkart.

Imagine just 5 minutes of charging will refill the battery up to 50 per cent and the full charge will just take 15 minutes. Moreover, Realme claims the battery will preserve 80 per cent of its capacity even after 1600 charge cycles.

The 6.7-inch 120 hertz AMOLED display is one of the best you can get on a phone in this price segment. This 10-bit screen is super sharp with nice colours and it is bright enough for outside use. The screen even has a dedicated processor to improve the picture quality.

The Realme UI 3.0 based on top Android 12 is very fast and smooth all the time.

You can find a lot of features and customization options in the UI, where you can choose from a few always-on display designs, customisable icons, quick settings and a menu to choose from.

Overall, the Realme GT Neo 3 150W variant is a lot more about speed than performance. The race car-inspired design, the 150W charging system, the 120Hz refresh rate display along with a powerful processor, all promise a faster performance.

Are you planning on buying a new car in 2023 and you have already decided which one to buy? Well, we suggest you hold on to that thought as 2023 has some exciting new car launches lined up that will compel you to reconsider the choice.

So, here are the top upcoming cars in 2023 that can influence your decision before you buy your next car.

2023 Hyundai Grand i10 Nios

Hyundai is ready to present a facelift version of the Grand i10 Nios, which is already one of the most popular seater hatchbacks in its portfolio. Expected to be launched in March next year, the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios 2023 version will compete with S-Presso, Alto K10 and Eeco among other hatchbacks running on the roads.

Although the features have not been officially revealed yet, the 2023 Grand i10 Nios is most likely to get a bumper redesign, LED DRLs re-positioned and some major updates can be expected inside the cabin of the facelift version.

2023 Maruti Suzuki Swift

The renders of the fourth-generation Maruti Suzuki Swift were recently leaked online which confirmed and smashed a few speculations that have been making rounds for quite some time now.

The new Swift, as per the renders, will have a hunkered-down stance to give it a more sporty look. The 2023 version of Swift is likely to stick with the current 1.2-litre naturally-aspirated 90 PS petrol engine along with both 5-speed manual and AMT gearbox options.

Date of Launch – March 2023 tentatively

Expected starting price – Rs 6 lakh approximately

Availability – No updates available

Honda Sub-4M SUV

There has been an undeniable preference shift in the Indian car market from hatchbacks and sedans to SUVs. Most car manufacturers have unevenly benefitted from this quite evident shift in demand, except Honda as the brand still hasn’t managed to leap towards SUVs successfully.

Honda, however, is looking forward to 2023 to change this. The Honda Sub-4M SUV is going to be a sub-compact SUV specially designed for the Indian car market. Every other detail about the car is still under wraps even though car enthusiasts are busy with speculations. The brand, on the other hand, might reveal a glimpse in the upcoming Auto Expo 2023.

Kia Seltos Facelift

2023 is also going to be the year when the Kia Seltos is going to get a significant update in a completely new version launch. It is going to include a much sharper and sportier design, new alloy wheels, a new connected LED tail light setup, redesigned centre console, and an updated dual-screen cockpit as well.

We’re expecting this car to be launched before mid next year and are hoping that will hold a showcase at the upcoming 2023 Auto Expo.

Date of Launch – January 2023 tentatively

Expected starting price – Rs 10 lakh approximately

Availability – No updates available

Hyundai Creta Facelift

Hyundai Creta 2023 version is actually a car we were expecting to see introduced in 2022. The Hyundai Creta facelift is going to take a great deal of inspiration from the Hyundai Tucson with a Tucson-inspired front fascia Tucson, derived digital instrument cluster and more.

Date of Launch – September 2023 tentatively

Expected starting price – 10.50 lakh

Availability – No updates available

Citroen C3 EV

The Citroen C3’s electric counterpart is expected to be introduced in 2023. As of now, we don’t have any official specifications or features officially out just yet but based on what we’ve seen in this car segment and price range, we assume we are looking at a new EV that may just have a real-world range of 180 to 220 kilometres.

Date of Launch – January 2023 tentatively

Expected starting price – Rs 9 lakh approximately

Availability – Might be available in two variants

Mahindra XUV 400

If you were following the recently concluded FIFA World Cup 2022 from India, you might be all too familiar with Mahindra XUV 400 because of the massive advertising campaign they’ve been running during the tournament.

The Mahindra XUV 400 is going to be launched in January 2023 and the main highlight here is that the XUV 400 is based on the car that the XUV 300 was originally based on – the Sangyong Tivoli. Moreover, the car is claiming to go from 0 to 100 times in 8.3 seconds.

Date of Launch – January 2023 tentatively

Expected starting price – Rs 14 lakh approximately

Availability – No updates available

Tata Safari and Tata Harrier Facelift

Both Tata Safari and Harrier are expected to get extensive facelifts in 2023. This time it appears the focus is going to be making both their designs more mature and sophisticated.

To make it more appealing for premium car buyers both in terms of what they look up front and at the rear. The design changes could also extend to redesigned alloy wheels and potentially upsized to 19-inch wheels as well.

Date of Launch – January 2023 tentatively

Expected starting price – Tata Safari price – Rs 15.45 Lakh and Tata Harrier price – Rs 14.79 Lakh approximately

Availability – No updates available

Hyundai Verna 2023

Hyundai Verna is going to be a very big deal aside from being a feature-loaded car as it always has been, this time around Hyundai is looking to make the sedan a lot larger in size and deliver a more big size car experience.

What Hyundai is looking forward to do with this upcoming version of Verna is to move it up a segment, a little closer to Rs 18 lakh – 19 lakh at a showroom. Essentially, it appears the brand is preparing to eliminate the need for a Hyundai Elantra-like sedan from the market.

Date of Launch – April 2023 tentatively

Expected starting price – 10 Lakh

Availability – No updates available

Toyota Hilux 2023

Toyota is expected to introduce an updated Hilux next year. This pickup truck is not going to be a brand-new model or a significant overhaul.

However, it is expected to get some useful feature additions like a surround-view camera and potentially an Adas (Advanced driver-assistance system) as well. Other than that, no confirmed features have been out yet.

Date of Launch – August 2023 tentatively

Expected starting price – 33.99 Lakh

Availability – No updates available

Xbox Series X Game You Should Purchase Is ?

One of the most powerful systems ever made, Xbox Series X, continues to do incredibly well for Microsoft, in part due to a growing library of top-notch games like Elden Ring.

Therefore, we have compiled a list of the top Xbox Series X games available right now. Even this list is just a sample of the many excellent games available, so you can anticipate many more titles and exclusives for the platform in the upcoming months and years.

Best Xbox Series X Games

Halo: The Master Chief Collection

If you want to play the best of the best, you must start with Halo: The Master Chief Collection, which includes Halo: Combat EvolvedAnniversary, Halo 2: Anniversary, Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST, Halo Reach, and Halo 4.

Each game has updated graphics and audio, which means you only get the superior version of each game. Crazy to think these games were 480i/30fps the first time we played them, but now the upgraded version supports 120fps gameplay.

This combat mission game has 400 achievements and over 4000 gamerscore, so you can have the ultimate Halo experience.

Assassins Creed: Valhalla

Thanks to Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla, the next generation of gaming consoles got off to the biggest possible start. On November 10, it debuted alongside the Xbox Series X. Due to its abundance of features, Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla has a lot to offer.

The game offers a lot for players to get their teeth into, whether it’s creating a settlement, finding organic tasks all over the place, or creating the ideal raiding machine. Running at 4K and a stable 60 frames per second, Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla looks quite unlike any other game in the series that has come before it.

Not only does it feel incredibly smooth and look stunning, but it also has mercilessly quick load times, ensuring that your journey through the Dark Ages of England in the 9th century is peaceful and demonstrating that the series is poised to expand its tried-and-true formula on the power of new hardware.

Hitman 3

Hitman 3 is a stealth series with dramatic conclusions, and trust me on this, you are going to love the game. Agent 47’s latest adventure also happens to be his greatest. With his global journey now taking him to new locations like Dubai and the UK’s Dartmoor, the game
offers huge scope and inventiveness that bring each level to life.

Hitman 3 isn’t the kind of sequel that reinvents the series, but it’s very likely to satisfy you if you’ve previously enjoyed these games and are satisfied with minor tweaks rather than a drastic overhaul.

The stealth action game introduced an ingenious puzzle element to the long-running series, allowing players to find creative and outrageous ways to take out targets.The game levels are improved now, offering sprawling sandboxes filled with challenges and surprises.

The Dartmoor level is especially noticeable because of its murder mystery, which brings a classic murder movie setup to the game. Hitman 3 serves as the base for all three games. Its menu screen allows you to play every previous level in the trilogy.

Forza Horizon 5

Nearly flawlessly straddling the line between a racing simulator and an arcade-style “pick up and play” game is the racing game genre of Forza Horizon. With its newest instalment, Forza Horizon 5, the open-world racer displays some of the most exquisite locations and
vehicles ever seen on a console in Mexico.

Seriously, the beauty of this game alone makes it worth the purchase. It almost seems unbelievable that you also get the best racing game ever made on top of that. The game features hours of content to race through and runs buttery smooth at either 30 or 60 fps, depending on what settings you desire.

Yakuza: Like a Dragon

The Yakuza franchise from Sega has been growing for a while. Just in time for Yakuza: Like a Dragon to welcome in the next-generation of consoles, the niche game has steadily grown in prominence in recent years.

Thanks to strong critical acclaim that made it one of the most talked-about launch games for the next generation, what was once a strange outlier is now an ace in the hole for Microsoft. In contrast to earlier Yakuza games, Like a Dragon substitutes turn-based fighting with beat-’em-up action.

Four characters are assembled into a party by the player, who can clash together in battle and take advantage of the surroundings. Even if the franchise’s central idea is new, the game’s sidequests and random missions nevertheless maintain their usual craziness. Like a Dragon is the ideal starting point for gamers who have never played a Yakuza game before and opens a new era for the series.
