After using pTron Bassbuds for 3 days, here is my initial review:
Decent sound quality, super Bass, good connectivity, battery lasts for around 4-5 hrs in a single charge and with the help of carry case you can charge the earpods anytime on the go.
The best thing about this bluetooth earbud is you can use it as mono or stereo because both the earbud gets control button through which you can receive and end calls, play/pause music, change music track to previous and next and long press the button will take you to google assistant and then you can command your assistant via this earbud. Excellent noise cancellation on calls and mic picks your voice crisp. Buds are good enough to mute external noise. Base is good, but treble bit low.

Camera: Best under 20K without a doubt. It has a 64 MP Sony sensor which you won't get in phones under 30K. The other phones like Redmi, Realme, etc, have Samsung sensor and Sony's sensor is slightly better.
PUBG Performance: I'm an Ace K/D 5-6 PUBG player. This phone simply is a pubg beast. Reasons: It has default smooth ultra option. BUT, you can extend it to smooth extreme using gfx tools. Now let me tell you about what smooth ultra and smooth extreme actually give in the phone. With smooth ultra, you get CONSTANT 39-40 fps even with 3-4 squads around, even at landing during hotdrops. It never drops. EVEN WITH SCREEN RECORDING ON! Yes, this phone has an inbuilt "Game Turbo" app which shows you the fps during the game. And even with screen recording on, smooth ultra NEVER freezes (no "chipak rha hai" issue.). Now coming to Smooth Extreme. Use gfx tools to make it to 60fps. Now here comes the good part. After using gfx tools, this phone NEVER goes below 58 fps IN ANY CONDITION. NEVER. Comparing this to Samsung S20 or Redmi note 8 pro which provide Smooth Extreme by default, but often drop to 40-45 fps in the game, this phone's GPU NEVER drops below 58 fps in any condition. Redmi note 8 pro drops to 45-50 fps A LOT, even with smooth extreme being available by default. Same with Realm 6 and realme 6 pro. They freeze a lot. But not this one.
Display: This has IPS display but is the best one under 20k. It will be the brightest phone under the sun. It's brighter than Redmi note 9 pro, Realme 6, 6 pro, etc. Because these phones have 400-450 nits display even when some of these are AMOLED. But, Poco X2 phone has 500nits display. People don't concentrate on this feature but this is the reason it's the brightest display under 20K even after being IPS. Plus, it has the biggest screen (6.67') under 20K. Also, Poco X2 is the only phone to support HDR 10 under 20K. Realme 6 pro and Redmi note 9 pro don't support HDR 10 even though all 3 have IPS displays.
Battery: It charges from 0 to 100 in 70 minutes. This is a bit (10 minutes) behind Realme phones but it shouldn't matter. Battery is also long enough. One 30min PUBG game takes 10% approx. So you can play PUBG for more than 4 hours straight. And still there'll be some battery left. Then it recharges back up to 40% in 20 minutes.
Features: 120hz display is really smooth. You'll feel it. This will definitely change your phone experience and you definitely won't like working on 60Hz after this. It has Hi-fi sound support which no other phone (Redmi or Realme) under this category has. Fingerprint sensor is great. It's MIUI 11 has a built in screen recorder, built in night mode, built in FPS detector, Game Turbo app allows you to chat on WhatsApp or browse web through a small pop up screen WHILE playing games like PUBG. Then Android 10 out of the box, ABSOLUTELY AMAZING touch response, great Gyroscope unlike some other phones in this range, and a cool looking camera patch. No notch like Poco F1.
There is some heating, but use a back cover and it shouldn't bother much. It's liquid cooling technology is NOT to prevent heating. But to quickly dissipate the heat and cool it down once it heats up. So that's good. Again only Poco X2 supports liquid cooling under this range.
Overall, it's a great deal under 20K. I think if you're thinking to buy a gaming phone, go for it. Other phones might provide Smooth Extreme out of the box, but they freeze a lot. SD 730G is always more reliable and optimized than other brands.
This is a very detailed review for the FX505DT-AL106T, bought for 52K. The summary is given directly below and the detailed review is given after. This should cover most of the details you might want to know.
Pros:
Very good performance both GPU and CPU
Excellent 120hz fluid display.
Very fast and capable 512 GB SSD.
Good Design including the RGB Keyboard.
Easy to open and upgrade.
Cons:
Poor Webcam
Heating issue out of the box for the CPU ( A solution included below).
Somewhat satisfactory Battery Life.
Detailed review:
The SSD is the Intel 660P which comes with a direct read and write speed of 1 GB/s and 0.8 GB/s respectively. Copy speed within the same SSD is around 400-450 MB/s which is still almost 10 times as fast as the normal HDD.
The Display has remarkable viewing angle and has respectable brightness. The matte cover helps very much in visibility even during mid day. The 120 hz refresh rate is a game changer especially if you ant to play games like PUBG, Apex Legends, etc.
The Keyboard is RGB supported but not individually lit or even zone lit, The entire key board will have one color or you can set it to cycle through the colors as well. The typing experience is good also.
The speakers have very good quality for the price even though it doesn't get very loud. The port selection is good but would have preferred a USB type - C and SD Card reader. The webcam is pretty low end and is just usable. Wifi is fast and is the Wave 2 type which is almost Gigabit level and has low latency which makes it somewhat capable for online gaming.
The laptop is easy to open and upgrade as all the main components can be reached just by opening the bottom panel but take care not to scuff the edges when the panel is removed as it is quite tight.
The solution to heating problem is to go into advanced power management and set maximum processor state to 99% which would prevent the Cpu from boosting. This would definitely reduce performance by 5-10% but the temperatures will be amazing at around 65-70 degrees stable.
How to change your Zoom background. Why show off your messy living room when you can video chat from the beach or the Starship Enterprise?
Millions of people have taken to the Zoom video chat app to work and study from home during this coronavirus pandemic. And many have discovered a fun little setting that transforms your video background from the room behind you to outer space. You can even upload a photo to customize your own.
Just be aware that you do need to make sure your system has the right requirements to change your Zoom background. And if you tend to gesture a lot or rock back in your chair, or a wayward pup or child lands on your lap during your call, your caller will notice breaks in the background.
