Wings Phantom 200

After the success of Wings Phantom 550 Gaming Earbuds, Wings rolled out its new model, Wings Phantom 200 TWS Gaming Earbuds on November 25, 2022, with some upgraded features that will be a treat for both music lovers and game-savvy individuals.

Wings is one of the premier audio brands in India that has acquired an excellent reputation among music and game lovers across the country through which they can play their favourite games in an immersive environment with no distractions.

Wings Phantom 550 Gaming Earbuds Review; Leisure Unlimited

Highlights

  • Wings Phantom 200 TWS are excellent gaming earbuds that are slowly getting more and more popular with each passing day.
  • The buds come with a portable charging case and a charging cable, along with 2X Bluetooth Earbuds.
  • The new earbuds aim to celebrate the modern Indian gamer through the products that reflect drive and finesse required in sports.

Wings Phantom 200 TWS in Brief

There are numerous electronic gadgets that cater to the tastes of people because they are extremely fickle minded and change tastes whenever it suits their convenience.

India is a country where both music and games are at a whole new level when it comes to popularity. Earbuds play a huge role in providing the necessary entertainment quotient while listening to music and playing games through them.

It is because pretty much every person in India plays games and listens to his favourite songs through earbuds because they provide adept sound quality that they players’ look for.

Wings Phantom 200 TWS

Wings Phantom 200 TWS Gaming Earbuds were launched very recently at the end of November 2022, which was launched by Wings, India’s premium audio brand through which you can play games in a convenient and easygoing manner where the environment is noise-free and there are no distractions to worry about.

There is no dearth to mobile games nowadays but there was a time during the 80s, 90s, and 2000s, when there were only video games and play stations on which you could play your favourite ventures like Pokemon, Super Mario, Ninja Turtles, and their ilk.

People born and brought up in the era are not as enamored with mobile games and continue to play games on play stations and PCs without a trace of embarrassment that they will be ridiculed by the millennials, which often happens because the latter cannot understand the nostalgia that it invokes.

Those who want powerful Bluetooth wireless earbuds that are made specifically for gaming purposes can definitely give Wings Phantom 200 TWS a try as it can more than live up to their expectations, while its price is quite affordable too.

My Mobile Review

To begin with, Wings Phantom 200 is the latest addition to the list of TWS earbuds launched by reputed brands and will soon be counted among its illustrious predecessors, which will only serve to further enhance Wings’ reputation as an audio brand of reliable gadgets.

Wings Phantom 200 TWS Gaming Earbuds come in a squared purple box, which is around the same size of a clenched fist but the design on the cover looks quite exquisite.

The box has “WINGS PHANTOM 200 Gaming Earbuds” at the top, while at the top right hand corner you can see the Wings logo and below it are the list of features listed along with their symbols that users are so eager to try out for themselves.

Wings Phantom 200 TWS

The box is extremely light to hold and it gives a feeling of excitement and euphoria that only a music/game lover can understand because the thought of playing games with a brand new pair of earbuds is difficult to put into words.

Once the box is opened, there is a small milky cover in which the buds case is kept, which has ‘WINGS’ engraved in the front and is black in colour. Upon opening the case, I found the earbuds kept inside their respective slots.

Then there was the charging slot that will be difficult for some people to locate in the initial stages as they would normally expect the slot to be on the right or left side but here it is at the back.

Once I took out the earbuds and placed them in my ears, they fit in snugly although they were slipping out during the first few attempts, which is why it took some time to get going.

The earbuds provide a perfect balance of sound and bass, which is excellent for gaming where the players can focus their entire attention on the mission without getting distracted by the noise in their surroundings.

The initial sound experience was a little noisy and coarse but once I had the hang of it, I started listening to my favourite songs and suddenly felt a wave of calm and tranquility take over my whole being.

The buds were kept in the inner box which had to be removed with care as I was instructed much earlier do so lest any damage was caused but once done, at the bottom of the box, I found a small rectangular box in which the USB cable, charger pin, were kept.

Then there was a smaller cover that had four spare black earbuds were kept and lastly, there was the user/safety manual with the necessary instruction on how to operate the device and what all precautions should be followed while doing so.

Wings Phantom 200 TWS Specifications

Wings Phantom 200 TWS Earbuds come with a Bluetooth V5.2 chip, which is touted to be one of the fastest in terms of speed with the effective distance of its pairing up to a device being 15m.

The speaker size is 13mm premium with excellent vocals of deep bass, clear highs, where you have customized EQ modes due to which users can avail a balanced sound quality of bass and vocals so that you can watch your favourite movies, listen to your favourite songs, and play your favourite games.

The content becomes even more interesting due to the Acoustic Echo Cancellation as you are transported into a whole new world the moment you put them on where you become oblivious to everything except the game at hand.

The ultra-high audio quality performance refuses to let you become distracted to your surroundings where you can gain an edge over other players by keeping an ear out for skulking footsteps and gunshots that alert you to the enemy, prompting you to make a move.

Wings Phantom 200

 

The standby time for the buds is about 200 hours, while the talk time is about 25 hours, which means that you can talk to your friends for that specific time period without the need to charge your phone.

Then there is the high speed Bullet Charge technology with a USB-C port that solves your charging issues by providing super-quick charging, thereby giving whopping 20 hours of playback with just a 10-minute charge.

Then there is the 30-hour battery life, along with 40ms ultra-low Latency and DNS ENC Mics for Noise Reduction, the wireless earbuds can hold their own against some of the most competitive gaming buds in the segment.

The playtime in single charge is about 8 hours, while the play time in total is about 30 hours. The earbuds come with an IPX5 rating, which makes it invulnerable to sweat and water so that you can go out in the rain or wear the buds while working out without any worries.

The battery life is further enhanced by the charging case that charges the buds in 1.5 hours, while the charging time for earbuds is one hour, and its frequency is 20Hz to 20KHz, which is excellent.

Wings Phantom 200 TWS Safety Precautions

  • After playing a long match, gamers usually hydrate the earbuds but in this case, they need to be kept dry, far away from humid conditions otherwise it runs the risk of short circuit.
  • There is a fire inside every gamer but these earbuds have to be kept from being exposed to peak sun or high heat conditions for an extended period of time as the lifespan of electronic components will shorten and the battery will be damaged.
  • Never expose the buds to a cold environment either otherwise it can damage the PCB board.
  • Never charge the buds for more than 5 hours otherwise it leads to loss of battery life quickly.

Wings Phantom 200 TWS Conclusion

Wings Phantom 200 TWS is well worth trying out due to the aforementioned features where you get a different experience while playing games, listening to music, and watching movies, without getting distracted.

My rating for the earbuds is 4 out of 5 stars.

There have been 3 YouTube Accounts in the past few days with more than 33 million cumulative subscribers that were busted for spreading fake news in India, which has become a norm as of late where people manipulate and distort information for political reasons.

Back in 2021, there were more than 100 YouTube channels that were banned for spreading misinformation and fake news that could have created an anarchical situation in the country, although there seems to be no end to such nuisance.

Press Information Bureau (PIB) is the official information dissemination channel; of the central government of India that revealed that 3 YouTube accounts: News Headlines, Sarkari Update, and Aaj Tak Live, with a cumulative following of 33 million subscribers, was caught spreading misinformation.

According to PIB, the three YouTube channels were caught spreading fake and sensational claims about the honorable Supreme Court of India, Chief Justice of India, Electronic Voting Machines (EVM), Government schemes, farm loan waivers, among others.

It isn’t that the aforementioned YouTube channels were spreading normal and harmless fake news but things like “Supreme Court declaring that future elections will be determined by ballot papers” and “EVMs will be banned”, apart from ridiculous ones like “Government giving money to people with Bank Accounts, Aadhar and PAN Cards”.

PIB has further claimed that the accounts were flagged on account of misinformation, while also impersonating genuine television channels like Aaj Tak and fraudulently using their logo to gain viewers’ credibility, not to mention using thumbnails of popular news readers and personalities for Click Bait.

However, the YouTube channels have not been removed and continues to remain on the platform for now, while PIB may well take strict action against these channels and ask the Information and Broadcasting Ministry (I&B) to issue takedown notices to them.

Elon Musk is an extremely polarizing figure but as of late, Elon Musk’s Poll seems to have become unpopular among the general public as nearly 57% of the people in a poll conducted by himself have asked him to resign as Twitter CEO.

It is ironic that his own poll has backfired no the newly anointed Twitter CEO, which is why he needs to think of a way to redeem himself in the public eye after firing thousands of employees all over the world.

Things don’t seem to look rosy for Elon Musk, who took over as the new owner of Twitter on October 28, 2022, where he soon fired more than 11,000 employees all over the world and issued warnings to remaining ones to work harder or risk similar consequences.

Apparently he wanted to test his popularity with the general public, which is why he conducted a poll where he asked public opinion on whether he should continue as Twitter CEO or step down.

The results proved baffling for him as nearly 57.5% voted for his resignation, while the remaining 42.5% asked him to continue, which should serve as a wake up call for the billionaire entrepreneur.

Infinix Zero Ultra Review – A Mid-Range Smartphone with Flagship Vibe

0

The Infinix Zero Ultra has been generating a lot of buzz among online tech enthusiasts and smartphone users since its launch. The smartphone entered the Indian market recently as Infinix’s latest attempt of disrupting the mid-range smartphone segment. Infinix Zero Ultra is an exciting smartphone design with a perfect flagship vibe with its 200-megapixel primary camera and 180-watt thunder charging support on any smartphone in the market today.

But does that make Infinix Zero Ultra, available for the price of Rs. 29,999 in India, a perfect smartphone that you should be upgrading to? Let’s understand the answer to this question in our detailed Infinix Zero Ultra review.

Before we get to the Infinix Zero Ultra review, let’s take a quick glance at the key Infinix Zero Ultra specifications:

  • 8″ Curved AMOLED screen with 900 nits brightness and 120Hz refresh rate and 360Hz touch sampling rate
  • Dimensity 920 5G processor
  • 4500mAh battery with 180-watt charger for thunder charge support

  • Android 12 and XOS 12

Infinix Zero Ultra Review

Unboxing

Infinix Zero Ultra comes in the Infinix trademark big box and carries everything that a user would need for the device. Right at the top, once you open the box, is the device covered in branded wrapping.

Taking out the layer divider, the box contains a sim ejector tool, an XPark invite, a screen protector, and the dollar-like X Club invite. Another pretty interesting addition here is a card that grants you access to a limited-edition animated NFT.

Infinix Zero Ultra Review

Next, you will get in the box – a clear phone case, a type-c to 3.5mm adapter, and a type-c to type-c USB cord for charging. The highlight in the box is the massive 180-watt charging brick that is supposed to take this smartphone from 0 per cent to 100 per cent battery in just 12 minutes.

We will discuss more about the battery in the battery section below. It is important to note that the device does not have a 3.5mm headphone port and thus, the box contains a type-c wired headphone.

Design and Build

The level of work that has gone into the design of the Infinix Zero Ultra is truly impressive. It looks like a work of art from the back panel to the curved display. The Coslight Silver colour device has embossed 3d textured glass on its back with topography and maps style design.

It is a clean design with speaker grills, a microphone, a type-c port, and the dual-sim tray at the bottom, power button and volume controls to the right, and another set of speakers and microphone at the top.

While it is beautiful on the back, it is impossible to miss the curved waterfall screen on the front of this device. Overall, everything about the design of this Infinix Zero Ultra screams flagship. And it is definitely the kind of smartphone you would be asked about when you pull out in public.

Display

The curved display on Infinix Zero Ultra is an absolute beauty. The display is a 6.8-inch curved AMOLED display with a resolution of 1080 by 2400 pixels and a 120-hertz refresh rate. The Infinix Zero Ultra display is perfect for streaming videos and regular usage.

YouTube and Netflix streaming experience is seamless with sharp, colourful, and detailed videos at high quality including 4K content. The curved display adds its own touch to the all-around premium feel of this device. The elements on the screen are clearly visible on the curve to the side.

Infinix Zero Ultra Review

Performance

The Infinix Zero Ultra is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 920 processor. Other performance-related features include the Google Android 12 OS and Infinix XOS 12. This is where we have to applaud Infinix for the user interface of this smartphone. The UI of the older Infinix devices has always been a common point of contention for most users and it appears the brand has been extra conscious in trying to fix it.

Infinix has also packed 256 gigabytes of storage and 8 gigs of RAM in Zero Ultra. And keeping up with expectations in 2022, the device also brings memory fusion that allows users to take out up to 5 gigabytes of their storage to get 13 Gigabytes of RAM.

The performance of the device, similar to the display features, is screaming flagship with additions that truly add to the overall smartphone experience. The smartphone can be used as the main driver for gaming, streaming, texting, and streaming plus texting at the same time.

There was no significant drop in the performance of this device that could be recorded. Gamers can also rely on Infinix Zero Ultra for the highest quality gaming and frame rate without worrying much about any potential lag.

Battery and Charging Support

The battery is what we believe is one of the most significant selling points of Infinix Zero Ultra.

The 4500mAh battery comes with a 180-watt charge for fast charging support or Thunder charge support. As per the brand’s claims, the 180-watt charger should blast its battery from 0 per cent to 100 per cent in just 12 minutes.

While testing this claim can generate different results for different users. During such battery tests performed by one of the popular tech bloggers, the results weren’t exactly the same in the first attempt.

When the phone got to 0 per cent for the first time, it took about 17 minutes to go from 0 to 100. Nonetheless, this might not be similar to the brand’s claim but still is quite fast.

Camera

Infinix Zero Ultra Review

The primary camera on Infinix Zero Ultra is a whooping 200-megapixel wide camera lens. This is accompanied by a 13-megapixel Ultrawide Camera and a 2-megapixel depth sensor for portrait shots.

The camera lineup is pretty exciting and the performance also appears to be decent in the shots advertised by Infinix. Looking at the regular wide and ultrawide shots, it seems Infinix was finally starting to grasp its computational photography.

Switching to the dedicated 200-megapixel mode and the night mode significantly improves the picture quality. In the 200-megapixel mode, the clarity and details captured are highly impressive. Users can easily zoom into the photos taken and still be quite comfortable with the result.
