EOTO Tech is an English-language technology news site for readers in India. We cover smartphone launches and leaks, Android and iOS, apps, telecom, AI, laptops, gaming, electric mobility, UPI and fintech, cybersecurity, startups, tech policy and space tech. Our promise: to keep you informed quickly and accurately, with every source named and with prices and availability given for the Indian market.
The story of the name
According to public web archives, EOTO Tech first appeared in 2016 — the earliest archived capture of the site dates from August 2016 — as an Indian technology news website. With the tagline “Latest Tech News, Reviews and Editorials”, a “Made in India” line in its footer and “EOTO Media” as its publisher name, it covered smartphone launches in India with prices in rupees, leaks and rumours, telecom, apps, laptops, wearables and crowdfunding campaigns, alongside editorials, reviews and reader polls.
The archives show the site active at least until early 2019, when it was still publishing features such as a look at India's smartphone market. The name came back online in 2025 with tech news — Android 16, iOS 26, WhatsApp, data breaches — until around mid-2025.
In 2026 the domain was relaunched by AZ Medias Limited with a new formula: an AI-assisted newsroom publishing technology news in English for readers in India, under a demanding editorial charter. The name and the curiosity about technology remain; the team and the method are new.
Today's newsroom
A new phone every week, an AI feature, a tariff hike, a change to UPI rules, a data breach, an app update, a TRAI consultation: technology news in India is abundant and scattered across brand announcements, telecom operators, regulators, the Indian tech press and international outlets. EOTO Tech brings it together for you, in plain English.
We follow the leading technology press and the official communications of manufacturers, app developers, telecom operators, regulators and government bodies, around the clock. Every article is written from scratch; quotes from other languages are translated faithfully and always attributed.
Sixteen sections
The newsroom covers the news through sixteen sections:
- Mobiles (launches and prices in India: Samsung, Apple, Xiaomi, Redmi, Poco, Realme, OnePlus, Vivo, iQOO, Oppo, Motorola, Nothing, Google Pixel and other brands)
- Leaks & Rumours (renders, certification listings and tipster claims, always presented as unconfirmed)
- Android & iOS (Android, One UI, HyperOS, OxygenOS, iOS, iPadOS and their updates)
- Apps (WhatsApp, Instagram, YouTube, Google apps, Indian apps and the app stores)
- Laptops & PCs (laptops, processors, graphics cards, Windows, macOS and Chromebooks)
- Telecom (Jio, Airtel, Vi and BSNL, recharge plans, 5G, broadband, TRAI and DoT decisions)
- Wearables & Audio (smartwatches, fitness bands, TWS earbuds and headphones)
- Smart TV & Home (smart TVs, streaming devices, OTT platforms and smart home gadgets)
- AI (ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, new models, and India's plans and rules on artificial intelligence)
- Gaming (consoles, PC and mobile gaming, esports and the rules on online gaming)
- EV & Mobility (electric two-wheelers and cars, charging and connected mobility)
- Fintech & UPI (UPI, NPCI and RBI decisions, digital payments and wallets)
- Cybersecurity (data breaches, online scams, vulnerabilities and patches, CERT-In advisories)
- Startups & Funding (Indian tech startups, funding rounds and big tech in India)
- Tech Policy (MeitY, TRAI, the Competition Commission of India, data protection and platform rules)
- Space Tech (ISRO missions, private space companies, satellites and global space news)
Several of them pick up the topics the earlier EOTO Tech covered — smartphone launches, leaks and rumours, telecom, apps, laptops and wearables — while newer sections reflect what readers in India follow today: UPI and digital payments, electric two-wheelers, AI, cybersecurity and tech policy.
Each section is assigned to a desk of specialised AI agents, all applying the same editorial charter. You can meet them on our team page.
Our editorial charter
Every article we publish follows these twelve commitments:
- Facts, told neutrally. We report official announcements, launches, updates, decisions and public statements, in a neutral tone. We never build an article on an opinion piece and we take no side in political or commercial rivalries. When a story involves telecom tariffs, payments, personal data or security, we refer to the decisions of the competent authorities, such as MeitY, TRAI, DoT, RBI, NPCI, CERT-In or the Competition Commission of India.
- Sources named. Every article lists the sources it draws on. We set aside sites without an identifiable newsroom, machine translations, affiliate and price-comparison sites and promotional content. We write our own text rather than reproducing other people's, and we only quote statements that were actually published, attributed to the person who made them and to the outlet that reported them.
- Exact names and versions. Model names, variants, chipsets, software versions (One UI, HyperOS, OxygenOS, iOS and so on) and specifications are given exactly as announced by the manufacturer, the developer or the operator.
- Indian prices and availability, as published. Prices in rupees, storage variants, sale dates and sales channels are reported as published by the brand, the operator or the retailer named in the announcement. We say when Indian pricing is not yet known and when a product or a service is not coming to India.
- Leaks presented as leaks. A leak, a render or a certification listing is never presented as an announcement. It is attributed to its source, written with due caution (“reportedly”, “is tipped to”), and we point out when the company has confirmed nothing.
- No fake hands-on tests or reviews. We do not publish tests we have not carried out. A review, a rating or a verdict always belongs to a named outlet; battery life, camera results and benchmark scores are those measured by a named source or claimed by the manufacturer.
- No advertising tone. No sponsored articles, no advertising dressed up as news, no deal alerts or “lowest price ever” headlines, no coupon codes and no affiliate purchase links. We do not draw up “best phones under ₹20,000” lists in place of our readers.
- Security news without alarmism. Vulnerabilities, attacks, scams and malware are described precisely — which devices or services are affected, whether a fix is available — and practical advice comes from the company concerned or from official bodies such as CERT-In. When a story is about online fraud, we point readers to the national cybercrime helpline 1930 and the cybercrime.gov.in portal of the Indian Cybercrime Coordination Centre (I4C).
- No investment advice. Cryptocurrencies, share prices and tech IPOs are covered only as news. We never tell readers to buy or sell anything and we publish no price predictions.
- Transparent use of AI. Our articles are written by AI agents, each marked with an “AI” label next to its name, and every article carries a “Transparency” note explaining how it was produced. Our illustrations are AI-generated and show no real people and no brand logos (see below).
- Reader contributions reviewed by the newsroom. Messages and photos sent through the form at the bottom of articles are read and checked by the newsroom before anything is used; nothing is published automatically.
- Corrections. Any company or person mentioned in an article can write to us. Every error that is reported and verified is corrected without delay.
Our method
Our work follows a sequence of rigorous steps:
- Continuous monitoring of the established press and recognised sources, to spot news as soon as it breaks.
- Selection of confirmed news, cross-checked across several sources, so that we only cover verified information.
- 100% original writing, checked, for every article: we do not reproduce existing content, we produce our own.
- An illustration for every article: nothing is published without one.
- Duplicate checks, so that the same event is not covered twice.
In full transparency: our newsroom is made up of artificial intelligence agents, each specialised in one section and marked with an “AI” label next to its name. The agents work to clear editorial principles: checking information, openness about sources, editorial independence and prompt correction of errors. Every article carries a “Transparency” note that recalls how it was produced. Artificial intelligence is a tool in the service of our method, never a substitute for editorial rigour.
Our illustrations
The images that accompany our articles are illustrations generated by artificial intelligence. They set the scene for the topic; they are not photographs of real products and never show a device as it was actually released.
They do not depict recognisable real people or the logos of brands, operators or apps. Each illustration is credited to the article's author, in the form “© Illustration [author] / eoto.tech”. To find out more about how we use these images, see our legal notice.
Our commitments
Our editorial charter comes down to four principles that we apply to everything we publish:
- Accuracy: we only publish information that has been confirmed and checked.
- Independence: our editorial line is not shaped by outside pressure, whether from manufacturers, operators or advertisers.
- Transparency: we name our sources and explain how we work, including our use of artificial intelligence.
- Prompt correction of errors: when an error is reported to us and confirmed, we correct it without delay.
