Planning to buy the OnePlus 13s – Is it a good choice in 2026?

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to buy the OnePlus 13s, which currently costs around ₹50,000 in my region.

One of the reasons I'm considering it is that I prefer compact phones, so the form factor is a big plus for me.

My priorities are:

- Smooth day-to-day performance

- Around 2 hours of gaming (mostly BGMI/PUBG and Clash of Clans)

- Decent battery life

- Good long-term performance

I don't care about the camera, so that's not a deciding factor for me.

I'm planning to use this phone for the next 4 years, so I want a phone that stays smooth and reliable over time.

Would you recommend the OnePlus 13s at ₹50k, or do you think there's a better option in this price range (preferably another compact phone)?

Thanks!

Need advice on a Type-C to 3.5mm DAC dongle (India)

I'm considering buying the AUDIOCULAR D15 (ALC5686 DAC) Type-C to 3.5mm adapter for around ₹500.

My setup:

Phone: Motorola Edge 50 Fusion

Earphones: Sony MDR-EX15AP

Budget: Around ₹500 INR

My biggest concern is longevity and durability, not necessarily sound quality.

I've used cheaper dongles before, including a Zebronics one, and they usually die within 1–2 months.

Has anyone used the AUDIOCULAR D15 long-term?

Is the cable and connector durable?

Can it realistically last 1–2 years with normal daily use?

Are there better options around ₹500 for reliability?

Thanks!

I’m planning to buy the Panasonic 1.5 Ton 3 Star Smart Inverter AC (model: CS/CU-SU18BKY3WXH, 2026). The specifications mention a copper condenser, but I couldn’t find any clear information about whether the outdoor unit uses a single-row coil or a double-row coil.

Does anyone here own this model or have technical details about it? I’m trying to confirm because a double-row coil would generally offer better cooling performance and durability.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! 🙏
