In order to offer a plug-and-play approach for the cloud radio network connection that will enhance efficiencies, India’s largest integrated telecommunications company Airtel along with Sercomm , a leading manufacturer and supplier of telecom equipment, have now announced the launch of world’s first vRAN-based TDD small cell. “At Airtel, we are obsessed with our customers and adding value to their lives with our offerings. The introduction of TDD small cells would enable us to further enhance our indoor network connectivity and delight our customers with a superior indoor experience. We are happy to partner with Sercomm for this technology innovation and look forward to working closely with them as we continue building a future ready network,” said Randeep Sekhon, CTO, Bharti Airtel. With Split Option 2 technology, the distributed unit (DU) utilizes various broadband links as a backhaul connecting to the cloud-based radio network. The small cell not only greatly improves operation reliability, but also facilitates a heterogeneous network. By adopting an open, distributed and split RAN (Radio Access Network) architecture, Aitel can efficiently upgrade from 4G to 5G path. Stressing that Sercomm has devoted significant R&D resources in finding innovative solutions to deliver enhanced telecommunication services, James Wang, CEO of Sercomm, said, “Through the collaboration with Airtel, we look forward to continuing technology innovation on the path to revolutionary breakthrough. We are pleased to team up with an industry leader like Airtel in realizing a next generation mobile network. Together we will open a new era for telecommunication service.” Recently, Airtel became the first operator in India to deploy vRAN-based 4G network, leveraging Altiostar’s open vRAN solution across multiple major cities in the sub-continent. The solution has 5G-ready software and would provide seamless evolution to 5G using the same architecture. By partnering with Altiostar’s Open vRAN software, Airtel can facilitate further innovation and cost efficiencies in their radio networks. With cloud-based open vRAN technologies being the cornerstone for network slicing, Airtel is also setting the foundation for rolling out 5G services, applications and multiple use cases. Altiostar’s Open vRAN solution is an innovative architecture and technology for maximizing the hardware efficiency, performance and network agility for next generation 5G networks. Therefore, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that Airtel is consistently strengthening its network architecture with innovative technology break-through.

Xiaomi refutes claim that Mi Browser unnecessarily collects users’ data
In response to a recent article by Forbes on April 30 which claims that Mi Browser collects unnecessary information while browsing and sends the user data to other countries, Manu Kumar Jain, Vice President of Xiaomi and MD of Xiaomi India, refuted the claims saying that “This is incorrect and not true. In a statement on Twitter, Kumar explained that “First and foremost, as an internet company, Xiaomi takes user privacy extremely seriously. Mi Browser follows similar protocols as any other leading browser in the world.” “In incognito mode, all user data is completely encrypted and anonymised. Mi Browser will never know what you browse in incognito mode and can’t identify you basis incognito browsing. The usage data that is logged is used to make you experience better,” added Kumar. Asserting that using Mi Browser or any Mi internet product is perfectly safe, Manu Kumar Jain revealed that Xiaomi does not collect any information that user does not have given any explicit consent to. Moreover, he notified that all Mi Browser and Mi Cloud data of Indian users is stored locally in AWS servers in India. In another blog post on Xiaomi website, the company provided detail on how it collects data and protects user privacy. According to Xiaomi, “There are two types of data collection:
  1. Collection of aggregated usage statistics data – Data (such as system information, preferences, user interface feature usage, responsiveness, performance, memory usage, and crash reports) is aggregated and cannot alone be used to identify any individual.
An example of usage scenario: The URL is collected to identify web pages which load slowly; this gives us insight into how to best improve overall browsing performance.
  1. Syncing of user browsing data – An individual’s user browsing data (history) is synced when:
  • The user is signed in on Mi Account; and
  • The data sync function is set to “On” under Settings
An example of usage scenario: To provide users quick access to previously viewed websites when users switch between different devices after logging in to their Mi Accounts.” Under incognito mode, user browsing data is not synced, however, aggregate usage statistics data (mentioned in point 1 above) is still collected. Stating Xiaomi’s goal of providing world class secure services and products to all users, the company said its next “Mint Browser and Mi Browser software update will include an option in incognito mode for all users of both browsers to switch on/off the aggregated data collection, in an effort to further strengthen the control we grant users over sharing their own data with Xiaomi.” The software updates would have been submitted to Google Play for approval on May 3.

Apple’s 5G-enabled iPhone 12 series likely to be cheaper than iPhone 11: Leak
As several reports have hinted that Apple is going to delay the unveiling of its much-anticipated iPhone 12 series owing to the novel coronavirus pandemic, now a new leak about the upcoming 5G-enabled iPhone device has revealed that the price will likely be less than what Apple fans had to pay for the iPhone 11 series. According to popular tipster Jon Prosser the base model of the upcoming 5.4-inch iPhone 12 will be priced at $649 (approx. Rs 49,000) while the 6.1-inch iPhone 12 is likely to be priced at $749 (approx. Rs 56,500). On the other hand, Prosser also mentioned that the 6.1-inch iPhone 12 Pro will carry a price tag of $999 (approx. Rs 75,400) while the 6.7-inch iPhone 12 Pro Max might cost the Apple fans $1,099 (approx. Rs 83,000). It worth mentioning that Apple iPhone 11 is up for grab for Rs 64,900 while the iPhone 11 Pro is available for Rs 99, 900 at Croma. In the leak, Prosser tweeted that the iPhone 12 series will enjoy 5G support. Moreover, the 5.4-inch and 6.1-inch iPhone 12 variants will likely be equipped with an OLED display along with two rear cameras. As far as the pro models are concerned, both the 6.1-inch iPhone 12 Pro and 6.7-inch iPhone 12 Pro Max will be fitted with OLED display along with three cameras as well as LiDAR sensors. From what we could understand, Apple might plan a lesser price for its iPhone 12 device as against the iPhone 11 as smartphone sales across the globe has slumped drastically owing to the coronavirus pandemic. However, talking about the price of iPhone 12 in India, it is likely that the device might cost you more owing to the heavy import duties. But let’s wait and watch, Apple could bring a surprise for its fan-base in India too. Earlier this year, Apple has lifted curtains off its ‘budget-friendly’ iPhone SE in India that comes with a price tag of just Rs 42,500. Apple iPhone SE features a 4.7-inch Retina HD display, paired with Touch ID for industry-leading security. It comes in a compact design, reinvented from the inside out, and is the most affordable iPhone. Powered by the Apple-designed A13 Bionic-the fastest chip in a smartphone-Apple iPhone SE features the best single-camera system ever in an iPhone as it unlocks the benefits of computational photography including Portrait mode. Apple iPhone SE features an aerospace-grade aluminium and durable glass design with an all-black front, and is available in black, white and (PRODUCT)RED.

If you are wondering about the status of deliveries, it is important to note that the devices can be handed over only in green and orange zones as of now as the lockdown period owing to COVID-19 pandemic has been extended till May 17 by the Government of India. Notably, the new ruling from the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) allows e-Commerce companies to gradually resume selling non-essentials products like smartphones and laptops only in green and orange zones. However, red zones will continue to witness deliveries of essential products only. Recently, Samsung has reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020. Total revenue was KRW 55.33 trillion, a decrease of 7.6 percent from the previous quarter mainly due to weak seasonality for the Company’s display business and Consumer Electronics Division and partially due to effects of COVID-19. From a year earlier, revenue rose 5.6 percent due to increasing demand for server and mobile components.

Google Pixel 4A makes way on GeekBench database ahead of launch
Google is known for giving its Pixel brand funky internal names or codenames based on fish. In February, XDA Developers had spotted the sunfish code-name in a string in the Google app alongside other Pixel devices. It was, then, reported that this code-name likely pertains to the Pixel 4A. Now again, a device known as Google Sunfish along with some specifications has made way on the GeekBench database. It is believed that this device with Android 10 OS is the Pixel 4A. Apart from being powered by Android 10 OS, the device listed on GeekBench database features 6GB RAM along with an octa-core Qualcomm processor with a base frequency of 1.80Gz. Besides this, Geekbench didn’t lift curtains off any other specifications. However, news is rife that this upcoming device Google Pixel 4A will derive its juice from a 3,080mAh battery along with 18W fast-charging feature. Moreover, the Pixel 4A is expected to come equipped with a 5.81-inch OLED display that has a full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels. As far as camera is concerned, a punch-hole at the upper-left corner of Google Pixel 4A is fitted with an 8-megapixel front-facing camera. On the other hand, the handset is likely to be packed with a single 12-megapixel rear camera along with sensor and LED flash fitted in a square-shaped box. Besides this, there will be a 3.5mm headphone jack, Type-C charging, rear-mounted fingerprint scanner and Google Titan M security chip. Google Pixel 4A, which is expected to be launched with 64 GB and 128 GB storage capacity, has rumoured to be rolled out in Just Black and Barely Blue colour options. Moreover, The Pixel 4A is said to be powered by a Snapdragon 730 processor and the benchmark score is within the range of other SD 730-powered smartphones. Apart from Google Pixel 4A, rumour mills have reported that two other Pixel devices are expected to be launched this year. The second in the list, Redfin, has previously been claimed to feature a slightly more powerful, Qualcomm Snapdragon 765. Apart from just affording the phone more power, it will also make the device 5G ready as the chipset comes with a built-in 5G modem. While the third device that is expected to see the light of the day is has been codenamed as bramble which again is said to feature the Snapdragon 765. However, we are yet to discover how it is different from Sunfish as far as other specifications are concerned.

Poco F2 Pro to launch soon, the company shared teaser indicating its arrival
After being spotted on Google Play listing, now the pricing of the device has been leaked on the web suggesting a global launch soon. The upcoming Poco F2 series is going to be the rebranded variant of Redmi K30 series. In the past, we came across so many leaks related to the Poco F2 series. The upcoming series is going to succeed the company’s very popular Poco F1.  The company is now tweeting a GiF with a hashtag #WakeUpPoco. This is supposed to be the company’s new marketing strategy indicating the arrival of its new variants. This means that the all-new Poco F2 series is going to hit the shelves soon. However, the shared teaser did not reveal the launch date of the device,  but it might happen later this month. The teaser has been posted on the company’s  Global Twitter account so the Poco F2 Pro is expected to get a global launch and will be available in India also. The pricing of the upcoming device also got leaked hinting the arrival of the smartphone. The pricing has been tipped by a Portuguese publication suggesting that Poco F2 Pro will be offered in two RAM and storage variants. The pricing of the device has been shared by its trusted source that  “guaranteed” the prices. The 6GB of RAM with 128GB storage variant will be available with a price tag of  EUR 649 that translates to Rs 53,300 whereas the 8GB of RAM with 256GB of storage model has been priced at EUR 749 that translates to Rs 61,600. If these are the actual prices for the Indian market then it will be tough to sell here, so we think the prices will be somewhere near what is below. The Poco F2 Pro is speculated to be a rebranded variant of Redmi K30 Pro. The smartphone was launched later in March this year with a price tag of CNY 2,999 (around Rs 32,500) for the  6GB with 128GB variant while the 8GB with 128GB option and the 8GB + 256GB model comes at 3,399 CNY (around Rs 36,000) and CNY 3,699 (around Rs 40,000) respectively.  If these rumours and leaks are to be believed then Poco F2 Pro will be powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 paired with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. The device is expected to run MIUI 11 based on top of Android 10 OS. The smartphone will be 6.67-inch full-HD+ HDR10+ AMOLED display with 1,080 x 2,400 pixels of resolution and 1,200 nits of peak brightness. It will feature a quad rear camera setup that will include a 64-megapixel primary sensor, a 5-megapixel macro lens, a 13-megapixel wide-angle sensor with 123-degrees of Field of View and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. It will get a 4,700mAh battery support with 33W fast charge.

Fitbit’s next smart wearable will be a 4G enabled kids smartwatch

Fitbit’s next smart wearable will be a 4G enabled kids smartwatch 
The American smart wearable manufacturer FitBit is now working on its next wearable product. The next release from the company will be a 4G enabled wearable for the kids. Yes, the Fitbit smartwatch for kids is in the pipeline and would be the company’s offering specifically for youngsters. However, the company did not confirm the device, but a report by Engadget confirmed that the company is working on a kids smartwatch. Fitbit acquired Hong Kong-based company Doki Technologies that already produced the world’s first smartwatches for kids with video calling capabilities. The company recently notified that it is going to stop working on its products from July. Whereas recently Fitfit has been acquired by Google and the deal may take some time to complete. The search giant acquired Fitbit just after the smartwatch company bought Doki.  Google announced that it is going to buy Fitbit for $2.1 billion (approximately Rs. 15,000 crores). In the past, Doki has manufactured kids smartwatches such as dokiWatch, dokiWatch S and dokiPal. The interesting feature that Doki’s platform offers is the inclusion of a SIM card giving 4G cellular coverage to kids without having to connect to your smartphone. Before Fitfit had to seek help from other companies for 4G coverage. Doki’s self-built platform comes with safety tracking features, video calling and voice calling via mobile app.  If these rumours are believed then the Fitbit’s upcoming kids wearable will come with 4G connectivity. It will help the parents to keep a check on their kids all the time. The children can make a call to their parents similar to Spacetalk’s kids smartwatch also allowing parents to leave a message for them. The last Doki’s device is Dokipal which included a physical “Doki SIM” that offers unlimited data to more than 50 countries at  $9.99 per month. It is still unclear if the company is going to come up with all the features for the Fitbit kids smartwatch. To recall, Fitbit launched smartwatches for kids Fitbit Ace in the year 2018 and Fitbit Ace 2 was introduced last year in 2019. Both the devices come with features such as activity tracker, recording steps active minutes, 5 days of battery life as well as monitoring sleep patterns. But these devices lacked cellular connectivity for tracking and communication.

Coronavirus Impact: Global Smartphone shipment collapsed 13% in the Q1 of 2020

Coronavirus Impact: Global Smartphone shipment collapsed 13% in the Q1 of 2020
During this critical situation when the whole world is struggling in the tech industry has been hit by the pandemic the smartphone shipment falls to 13 per cent to 272 million units. In the first quarter, the demand for mobile phones dipped. Samsung managed to regain its first position but its shipment fell 17 per cent to 60 million.  According to a report by Canalys, the smartphone market was doing good when it entered 2020. But in February when coronavirus was spreading in China the brands were mostly worried about how they were going to meet the global demand as most of the industries were shut. When the situation came into control, half of the world entered lockdown.  Canalys Senior Analyst Ben Stanton said, “Smartphone manufacturing has now recovered, but as half the world entered a lockdown, sales plummeted. Poor business results, employee redundancies and furloughs are causing a great deal of anxiety and uncertainty. Smartphones are still a necessity for most people, and device availability in online channels has enabled those who need to replace a broken or lost phone to do so. But many customers who would have bought a new smartphone as a luxury have delayed that purchase.”
Worldwide smartphone shipments and annual growth
Image Courtesy: Canalys
According to the report, Smasung was one of the brands who could withstand the impact. Huawei shipped 49 million, as its mix continues to shift toward China and away from overseas markets due to its US Entity List status. Due to its ongoing US Entity List problems its shipment dropped down to 35%. Whereas Apple was least affected due to the sale of the iPhone 11 in the early stages of the quarter. To overcome the loss the company just launched the iPhone SE. The company aims to increase the shipment of its device as its flagship customers await 5G devices. Apple is currently the third-largest vendor, down 8% with 37 million shipments. Whereas Xioami is going well and it continued to retain its position in the top five list with a  9% growth to hit 30 million units whereas Vivo takes the fifth position with 24 million units, up 3%.  Quarter second of 2020 will show the peak of the coronavirus’ impact. As countries start lifting the lockdown the full economic damage will become visible. The Counterpoint report also says that “the global smartphone market declined the fastest ever, -13% YoY, during the quarter 5G smartphone shipment share, increased to 8% in Q1 2020 from 1% in Q4 2019 Xiaomi (7%) YoY, and Realme (157% YoY) were the only major brands to achieve growth Apple remained resilient even during the COVID-19 as iPhone shipments declined only 5% YoY Q1 2020”  According to the report, the combined market share of the top 10 brands has increased to 83%, from 80% in Q1 2019.

To take on Zoom the Indian telecom company Reliance Jio has introduced its video conferencing app JioMeet 
With the JioMeet app Reliance Jio forays into the video conferencing territory. Reliance Jio Industries announced the arrival of the new app while announcing its quarterly earnings. The company launched the video conferencing app to take on other platforms such as Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams who are already running the industry. These are the most popular apps that are widely being used by everyone while staying connected with their loved ones or while working from home hosting virtual meetings.  Zoom is already under scrutiny due to security concerns. Recently, the Indian government warned its employees about using video conferencing app Zoom for official purposes. The app has become popular amongst people during the nationwide lockdown. Many other companies such as Google have also asked its employees to refrain using the app. The JioMeet app can be used as an alternative to the app due to an increase in demand for video conference platforms in the country. The app comes with features such as it is compatible with any device, any operating system and is capable of doing collaborations. Meaning you can not only use the app for video calling but it can be used to consult a doctor to get prescriptions. Furthermore, the company aims to collaborate with the education platforms for creating virtual classrooms for teachers as well as students. They would be able to use its submit assignments and ability to take virtual tests. In India, the coronavirus cases are rising so to contain the spread of COVID-19 the Indian Government has imposed lockdown in the country so all the schools and other educational institutions, businesses and offices remain closed. The JioMeet app allows up to 100 participants to join a video call. Whereas both Google Meet and Zoom also comes with the same capability. Recently social media platforms Facebook also launched Messenger Rooms that allows up to 50 people in a single call. The JioMeet app will be available across various platforms such as iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, Outlook through the plugin, Google Chrome as well as Mozilla Firefox. The users will be able to log in to the platforms via email ID and password as a guest to join a meeting. The app will be offering HD quality for best video calling experience. Let’s see if the JioMeet app will be able to replace other popular platforms.
