Samsung leaves behind Xiaomi and Vivo in a bid to capture India’s smartphone market
Due to the COVID-19 crisis in India, the country’s smartphone market registered a sharp year-over-year (YoY) decline of 50.6 percent in the second quarter to 18.2 million units. However, an IDC report revealed the sales had increased in June as compared to the first quarter but the purchases were mainly driven by availability rather than by choice. And Samsung led the overall mobile phone market with a market share of 24.0 percent, followed by Xiaomi and Vivo.
According to an IDC report, “Samsung surpassed Vivo for the second slot despite a strong YoY decline of 48.5 percent in 2Q20 to 4.8 million units. The Galaxy M21 smartphone was among the nation’s top 5 shipped models in 2Q20 and most of its online-exclusive Galaxy M series was opened to offline channels, though at higher prices.” However, Samsung stood in second place in the online channel with a share of 22.8 percent and was the leader in the offline channel with a 29.1 percent share in 2Q20. The brand also partnered with Benow and Facebook, enabling offline retailers to start sales using digital platforms, thus adhering to social distancing norms.
After Samsung, Xiaomi continued to lead with total shipments of 5.4 million in 2Q20 despite falling 48.7 percent YoY. Four out of the top five models in 2Q20 were Xiaomi models, namely the Redmi Note 8A Dual, Note 8, Note 9 Pro, and Redmi 8, accounting for 21.8 percent share. Xiaomi launched its Mi Commerce solution to create an omnichannel experience for partners but also continued its dominance in the online channel with 42.3 percent share in 2Q20.
Vivo slipped to the third position, with shipments of 3.2 million units, declining by 42.9 percent YoY in 2Q20. Though it retained its fourth position in the online channel on the back of its Z/U series, Vivo slipped to the second slot in the offline channel with a 26.5 percent share in 2Q20. The affordable Y series continued to garner the majority of its volumes, though stock issues remained.
Besides this, realme was at the fourth position with 1.78 million units shipped in 2Q20, declining by 37 percent YoY. The vendor faced stock issues owing to factory closures through May. The affordable C3/C2 accounted for the majority of its shipments 36.3 percent, followed by the newly launched Narzo series.
OPPO, securing the fifth position, witnessed a 51.0 percent YoY decline to 1.76 million units in 2Q20. The brand had severe stock issues and even imported completely built units directly in June, as the factory remained closed owing to multiple COVID-19 cases. The same factory manufactures devices for realme and OnePlus, which also faced challenges in stocks. OPPO also launched its first 5G device, the Find X2, in 2Q20.

Twitter introduces new labels for government and state-affiliated media accounts
With an aim to provide people with context to make informed decisions about what they see and how they engage on Twitter, this microblogging & social media network site has introduced new labels to the accounts of key government officials, including foreign ministers, institutional entities, ambassadors, official spokespeople, and key diplomatic leaders. At this time, Twitter has also added these new labels to the accounts belonging to state-affiliated media entities, their editors-in-chief, and/or their senior staff.
Asserting how it defines government accounts for these new labels, an official blog post by Twitter revealed, “Our focus is on senior officials and entities that are the voice of the nation state abroad, specifically the account categories listed above. Labels will only be applied to accounts from the countries represented in the five permanent members of the UN Security Council: China, France, Russian Federation, the United Kingdom, and the United States.”
To bring transparency and practicality, Twitter is initially introducing these labels with a limited and clearly-defined group of countries before expanding to a wider range of countries in the future.
According to Twitter, “We believe this is an important step so that when people see an account discussing geopolitical issues from another country, they have context on its national affiliation and are better informed about who they represent.” Currently, Twitter’s focus is on those within the respective administrations underneath the head of state that offer its policy perspective abroad.
As far as state-affiliated media accounts are concerned, Twitter, “Unlike independent media, state-affiliated media frequently use their news coverage as a means to advance a political agenda. We believe that people have the right to know when a media account is affiliated directly or indirectly with a state actor.”
Furthermore, Twitter notified that state-financed media organizations with editorial independence, like the BBC in the UK or NPR in the US for example, will not be labelled. As part of the development of this process, Twitter consulted with a number of expert groups, including members of the Digital and Human Rights Advisory group in Twitter’s Trust & Safety Council.
Twitter will also no longer amplify state-affiliated media accounts or their Tweets through our recommendation systems including on the home timeline, notifications, and search. Government accounts listed in category one are not affected by this change. To offer even more context to the public, clicking the labels on both categories of accounts directs people to an article explaining the policy and referring them to the Twitter Transparency Report for additional information.
“We’ll notify any account that’s labelled and if the account owner believes we’ve made a mistake, they can reach out to us directly,” Twitter added.
Twitter plans to continue expanding this approach to additional countries over time and look forward to providing additional updates as those plans take shape.

Instagram Tips & Tricks – Making an Account for Your Pet
Getting perfect pet and animal portraits can be a tricky job, but once you get the hang of it — you’re bound to have hundreds of photos of your beloved companion. With so many perfect photos, you may be inspired to share them online, and even follow the herd by making an Instagram account for your pets, which can set them up to become a potential ‘pet influencer’. This is a title that could allow your pet to command considerable amounts of money with enough social media following.
Of course, becoming as Insta-famous as Chloe the Mini Frenchie, a dog owned by Dog Agency’s Loni Edwards, can take a while. But you’ll never know until you create an Instagram account for your pet. If you haven’t done so yet, here are four tips and tricks that’ll help you get that account up and running.
Highlight your pet’s ‘unique selling point’
Lindsay, the owner of @brunotheminidachshund (166,000 followers as of this writing), shared to You Magazine that pet owners should highlight anything unique about their pets. In her case, her dog, Bruno, likes destroying cardboard boxes, so Lindsay frequently posts videos of Bruno doing exactly that. The point is that you want your pet to stand out, and what makes your pet a standout can be almost anything! Your cat might love snuggling on your laptop or your dog might love bubble baths. These seem mundane, but they might actually be your pet’s unique ‘selling point’. So, start posting photos and videos highlighting whatever it is that makes your dog special.
Make collages made using Instagram’s Layout feature
Collages are a fun way to make unique content. Fortunately, Instagram has its Layout feature that simplifies the collage making process. It doesn’t even require any special editing! For fun layout content, keep in mind that psychological studies suggest that people are often attracted to things that remind them of themselves, with a feature by Gala Bingo echoing the belief that after some time people begin to look like their pets. As such, it might be fun to post you and your pet side-by-side, and possibly even feature some of your friends and their ‘pet doppelgängers’ on your pet’s account. Doing so is a sure way to create engagement on your pet’s page, as your collages will leave followers wondering about their own resemblances with their furry companions. Then, for even greater engagement, Vox points out that you can tag other famous pet accounts and challenge their owners to post something similar.
Leverage someone else’s Insta-fame
When you’re just starting, it can be difficult to create engagement and momentum. But you can jumpstart this process by riding on the Insta-fame of someone else. This is exactly what Tinder PR founder Katie Sturino did for her pet Toast and its original account, @toastmeetsworld. Sturino convinced Man Repeller’s (@manrepeller, 2.4 million followers) Leandra Medine — an acquaintance from work — to post a “Who wore it best” photo featuring Medine and Toast wearing the same outfit. The partnership made Toast a star; the account of Toast’s sisters, @dogmeetsworld, currently has over 327,000 followers. So, start going over your contacts list to find someone you can collaborate with.
Post regularly
Finally, make it a point to post regularly. But don’t overdo it to the point that you overwhelm your followers’ feed. A good rule of thumb is to post once or twice daily, preferably at around the same time. In this way, you’re effectively giving your followers something to look forward to every day.

Google has signed an agreement to invest $4.5 billion (Rs 33,737 crore) in Jio Platforms Ltd, taking a 7.73 percent stake in the company, pending regulatory review in India. This is the first investment from the Google For India Digitization Fund announced earlier this week, which aims to accelerate India’s digital economy over the next five to seven years through a mix of equity investments, partnerships, and operational, infrastructure and ecosystem investments.
Google and Jio Platforms have entered into a commercial agreement to jointly develop an entry-level affordable smartphone with optimizations to the Android operating system and the Play Store.
“Together we are excited to rethink, from the ground up, how millions of users in India can become owners of smartphones. This effort will unlock new opportunities, further power the vibrant ecosystem of applications, and push innovation to drive growth for the new Indian economy,” said Sanjay Gupta, Country Head & Vice President, Google India, and Sameer Samat, VP, Product Management.
According to Google, This partnership comes at an exciting but critical stage in India’s digitization. It’s been amazing to see the changes in technology and network plans that have enabled more than half a billion Indians to get online. At the same time, the majority of people in India still don’t have access to the internet, and fewer still own a smartphone—so there’s much more work ahead.
Google’s mission with Android has always been to bring the power of computing to everyone. The tech giant has been humbled by the way Indians have embraced Android over recent years. It believes the time is right to increase its commitment to India significantly, in collaboration with local companies, and this partnership with Jio is the first step. It wants to work with Jio and other leaders in the local ecosystem to ensure that smartphones—together with the apps and services in the Play Store—are within reach for many more Indians across the country. Google further asserts that the pace of Indian innovation means that the experiences it creates for India can ultimately be expanded to the rest of the world.
“For Google, our work in India goes to the heart of our efforts to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible. We opened our first Indian campuses in Bangalore and Hyderabad in 2004. Since then, we’ve made India central to our Next Billion Users initiative—designed to ensure the internet is useful for people coming online for the first time. We’ve improved our apps and services so they’re relevant in more Indian languages and created offline versions for those facing network constraints. We’ve extended our tools to small businesses, sought to close digital divides with initiatives like Internet Saathi, and we’re increasingly focused on helping India harness AI. More and more, apps we create for India—like Google Pay or our Read-Along language-learning app—influence what we do globally,” a Google blog post revealed.
In partnership, both Google and Jio can draw on each other’s strengths. With this, Google looks forward to bringing smartphone access to more Indians—and exploring the many ways in which it can work together to improve Indians’ lives and advance India’s digital economy.
