Why do tech reviews take so much time?

That’s a question that many a tech writer has had to encounter from their readers. And these questions become even more frequent when brands are in literally release spree mode – launching one device after another. Which is the case right now. Blame it on releases that piled up because of the lockdown caused by the pandemic or just brands trying to make the most of an open market, what cannot be denied is that the past few weeks have seen the sort of launch activity that one normally associates with the festival season in India. And often, not even then. Even a brand like OnePlus, which releases a relatively smaller number of devices has released six in the past couple of months (two phones, three televisions, one wireless headphone) and is set to release another phone and set of phones in the next ten days!

And of course, that, in turn, has led to an increase in the sort of queries at the beginning of the article. For when it comes to tech, the more the supply of new devices, the more the demand for their reviews and comparisons.

And I should add: the more the launches, the more the delays in their reviews appearing on sites and publications.
