Huawei allowed to participate in 5G trials in India

Huawei has reportedly been allowed to participate in 5G trials in India by the government, according to IANS. The approval should come as a major breakthrough for Huawei as the company is facing a ban by the U.S for spying using telecom equipment. Considering the scrutiny Huawei is facing globally, this should come as a major relief for the company.

The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) said it will provide trial spectrum to all the major players in the telecom sector and these operators can each choose their own partners. Earlier in December, DoT approved prices for 5G spectrum auction which will offer around 6050MHz of air waves for 5G connectivity.

Commenting on the development, Jay Chen, Huawei CEO told IANS, “We thank the Indian government for their continued faith in Huawei. We firmly believe that only technology innovations and high quality networks will be the key to rejuvenating the Indian telecom industry. We have our full confidence in the Modi Government to drive 5G in India. We have our full confidence in Indian Government and industry to partner with best technology for India's own long term benefit and also for cross industry development. Huawei is always committed to India.”

The Digital Communication Commission (DCC) which is the highest policy-making body of the Telecom Ministry said on December 20 that spectrum auctions will be held in March-April in 2020. This auction will see 5G spectrum sale for the first time.

Interestingly, India is planning to operate in the sub-6GHz frequencies to enable 5G connectivity. As a result, while the coverage will definitely get a big boost, unless the spectrum of mmWave is also auctioned, we won’t be seeing speeds of over 1Gbps any time soon.

Apple could launch a 5000 gaming Mac specifically for e-sports

Apple is not a company known for manufacturing high-end gaming machines. It has consistently snubbed the games industry with only a handful of titles releasing for their devices. But, with a new year comes new resolutions. It has been reported that Apple are looking at releasing a brand new ‘gaming Mac in 2020. The company is rumored to be unveiling the gaming Mac at WWDC 2020.

The gaming Mac could be an ‘e-sports centric’ machine that will come with a price tag of $5000 ( Rs 3,56,427 approx). You may think that $5000 is too much for a gaming machine, but remember that Apple does have a habit of overcharging users for its products so this comes as no surprise. Considering that most Apple computers are used for professional activities like audio or video production, it remains to be seen how Apple will handle high-end games on its machines.

Another thing to consider is that Apple has little to no experience when it comes to porting demanding games on its systems, so take that for what it’s worth. As of right now, there are only a limited number of games that run on Apple systems but the company has shown interest in expanding into the gaming market with the launch of Apple Arcade. The service works on a subscription model of $5 per month. But the sad reality of the situation is that most e-sports titles are poorly optimised for Mac computers.

Who knows what the new gaming Mac will look like or it’ll be comparable to the beastly gaming PCs in the market today but rest assured, 2020 is going to be very interesting.

Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 to go on sale before the Galaxy S11 series: Report

Samsung is rumored to be launching the Galaxy Fold 2 alongside Galaxy S11 series. A new report claims that the next foldable phone from Samsung could go on sale earlier than the mainstream flagships. To recall, Samsung launched the Galaxy Fold alongside the Galaxy S10 series on February 21 this year. Reportedly, Samsung will launch the Galaxy Fold 2 and Galaxy S11 series on February 11.

According to a new report from South Korea's Yonhap News Agency, Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 could go on sale before the Galaxy S11. Samsung is said to be in talks with three of South Korea's major carriers to release the Galaxy Fold 2 in February. The next Samsung foldable phone is rumoured to be made available for sale "immediately" after its official unveiling. However, whether or not it will go on sale in markets outside South Korea before the end of February is yet to be known.

Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 is tipped to be a clamshell foldable phone like the Motorola Razr (2019). It is said to come equipped with a 6.7-inch inner display and it can be folded onto itself like a clamshell to become squarish in shape. The rumoured design is vastly different from the current Galaxy Fold turns into a rectangular device when folded vertically. Further, Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 could use ultra-thin glass as the covering instead of the current plastic-based cover. It is said that Samsung plans on reducing, if not eliminating, the crease.

The Galaxy S11 trio is expected to come in 6.2/6.4 inches, 6.7 inches, 6.9 inches display sizes. Samsung is said to launch the Galaxy S11 models alongside the Galaxy Fold 2 before the official opening of Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2020. However, the company is yet to announce the launch date.

Samsung Galaxy S11 could launch alongside the Galaxy Fold 2 on February 11

Samsung Galaxy S10 successor could launch earlier than expected. According to a new leak, Samsung Galaxy S11 series could launch on February 11, instead of February 18 that was reported earlier. Samsung is tipped to host the launch event that it usually calls “Unpacked” in San Francisco, California to unveil the next-generation Galaxy S-series phones. Alongside the Galaxy S11 series, the company is expected to unveil its next foldable phone - the Galaxy Fold 2.

According to a report from Israeli website Girafa, Samsung is said to launch the Galaxy S11 models before the official opening of Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2020. Samsung would get more time to promote its Galaxy S11 series by choosing a date ahead of MWC 2020 as its competitors will be bringing their flagships at the event. However, Samsung is yet to announce the launch date.

Samsung Galaxy S11 series is expected to comprise of Galaxy S11, Galaxy S11+ and Galaxy S11e. The trio is said to feature a telephoto lens with 48MP. If it turns out to be true, it will be the most powerful telephoto lens in a smartphone going by the current industry standards. It is rumoured that Galaxy S11+ will sport a new, custom 108MP sensor. The Galaxy S11 trio is expected to come in 6.2/6.4 inches, 6.7 inches, 6.9 inches display sizes.

The Samsung Galaxy S11+ is said to stick with the curved display. Leaks suggest that the display will be as large as 6.9 inches, while the panel itself will be Samsung’s own Dynamic AMOLED display. On the other hand, Galaxy S11 is also rumoured to sport a display with a high refresh rate of 120Hz. It has reportedly been certified in China for 25W fast charging.

Coming to the Galaxy Fold 2, unlike its predecessor, the device could actually turn out to be a clamshell foldable phone like the Motorola Razr (2019). The company is rumoured to turn to ultra-thin glass as the covering for the Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 instead of the current plastic-based cover.

Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 could use glass for its foldable display

Samsung has had a rough time with their Galaxy Fold smartphone. The launch was abruptly called off due to issues of duability with the phone, and finally, when Samsung did relaunch the device, questions of durability remain. At the heart of the discontent was the very thing that made the Fold unique; its foldable display. For the Fold, Samsung used a plastic material to make the display panel, which came with its own set of issues, the biggest being the crease. Samsung, it seems, will solve this problem by using glass.

The report comes courtesy of Ice Universe, a prolific leakster with a reliable track record of being correct. According to his tweet, Samsung would turn to ultra-thin glass as the covering for the Samsung Galaxy Fold2 instead of the current plastic-based cover. This, he says, is how Samsung plans on reducing, if not eliminating, the crease. While this may be a viable solution for dealing with the crease, using glass for the next Fold may do more harm than good.

Industry insiders say that using ultra-thin glass would make mass production of such panels even more expensive than they are at the moment. Additionally, the durability of such panels is yet to be proven to be better than that of the plastic substrate that Samsung uses at the moment.

Multiple rumours and leaks have pointed out that the next Fold to be released by Samsung will be a vertically folding smartphone, much like the new Moto Razr. There have been some leaked images of the device floating around, and that is the phone that Ice Universe says will be using the glass panel for its display. As always, we strongly recommend waiting till the product is officially launched for the most accurate information.

WhatsApp dark mode starts rolling out for Beta users on iOS

WhatsApp has finally started the much-awaited dark mode feature for some users. While there are many hacks to get dark mode on WhatsApp, the app may finally get the feature in the near future as it is now available for the Beta users on iOS. WhatsApp Beta for iOS has started receiving dark mode alongside a couple of other features. In the iOS 2.20.10.23 update, users are likely to see dark mode, low data mode and contacts integration feature.

The latest development comes from WABetaInfo report, a blog that tracks WhatsApp developments. The report mentions that WhatsApp is working on rolling out the dark mode. The same features are expected to roll out in the Android update soon. According to a screenshot shared in the report, the layout, as well as the shared location map, appear in shades of grey and black.

Next feature is low data mode. It will reportedly restrict auto-download of voice messages and media files on WhatsApp when the iPhone is working on cellular network. It will enable users to reduce the amount of network data usage when they aren't on WiFi. According to the report, users can head over to Settings > Cellular > Cellular data options > Low data mode to enable the new feature.

Furthermore, WhatsApp iOS 2.20.10.23 update includes an update to sharing options. The report suggests users will now be able to see some suggested WhatsApp contacts, groups along with Airdrop and Mail options in the share menu.

To recall, WhatsApp recently added features like support for call waiting, a refreshed Chats screen, and the ability to send messages directly from the Braille keyboard when the device is set to VoiceOver mode. These features can be found in the latest version of WhatsApp for iOS, i.e., version 2.19.120. You can read more about it here.

Samsung to announce Neon, a mysterious new product at CES 2020

CES 2020 will put the spotlight on AI once again as Samsung is gearing up for a launch of a special product in Las Vegas, next month. A mysterious new product is being hinted at and developed by Samsung Technology & Advanced Research Labs (STAR Labs) is called Neon.

What is Neon? Nobody knows for sure but going by the teasers up on social media, it could very well be an advanced AI assistant. Samsung has remained tight lipped about the project and all we know about it is that Neon is being led by India-born Pranav Mistry who is the president and CEO of STAR labs. Mistry would be taking the stage at CES 2020 to unveil the product.

Samsung already has Bixby, an answer to the likes of Siri, Google Assistant and Alexa. Bixby is already present in Samsung smartphones and a range of IoT devices. And Neon could be the next step. The teasers say, “have you ever met an artificial?”.

Speculation online hints that Neon will be a human-level AI which could depend heavily on a 5G network. And it’s being hyped as a glimpse of the future and the craziest thing of 2020. Bo Moon, head of strategy at STAR Labs wrote on Twitter, “Been working late nights and weekends and totally feeling that start-up life again. Looking forward to unveiling the new company with the team at #CES2020 in January. You won't want to miss this...”

By the looks of it, Neon sounds like a human interface for AI assistants and could very well center around creating personalised virtual avatars that will act as your personal AI assistant. What it ultimately is, however, will only be confirmed at CES 2020 in Las Vegas, next month.

The National Supercomputing Mission announced 11 new supercomputers to be built and installed across India

The next stage of the National Supercomputing Mission (NSM) is now moving forward as the central government has just approved 11 supercomputers to be built and installed in various research centers all across India. The government is looking at expanding the mission and installing 73 indigenous supercomputers by 2022. Headed by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology and the Department of Science and Technology, the program is being ushered through the Center for Development of Advanced Computing in Pune and the Indian Institute of Sciences in Bangalore.

The first phase of the mission, various parts of supercomputers were first imported and then assembled in India. The first of its kind to be assembled in the country, the Param Shivay supercomputer was installed in IIT (BHU) earlier this year. Other supercomputers like the Param Shakti and Param Brahma were also installed at IIT-Kharagpur and at IISER, Pune.

In an exclusive with the Print, the head of the NSM said that the supercomputers that were currently installed use Intel motherboards but are 60% indigenous. But, the next 11 systems in the next phase of the mission will use processors that have been developed by the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing. These processors will have a capacity of 10 petaflops.

Kulkarni also said that the C-DAC processor is still being tested and will be ready to go my March 2020. He also added, “One system will be installed at C-DAC exclusively for small and medium enterprises, so that they can train employees as well as work on supercomputers at very low cost.” The budget for the entire project will be around 4,500 crores.

Ola Guardian, an AI-Enabled Real-Time Ride Monitoring System expands to more cities

Ola rolled out 'Ola Guardian', a real-time customer ride monitoring system at the end of last year. After running the pilot project, the company is now expanding its Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based safety feature across several cities in India as well as Australia. Ola Guardian uses real-time data from rides to automatically detect irregular trip activity, including prolonged stops and unexpected route deviations. The feature is now live in 16 Indian cities as well as in Perth, Australia. Ola is aiming to launch ‘Guardian’ in more cities in the next quarter.

In the official statement, Ola said, “We are focused on developing innovations that place customer safety at the heart of platform experience. Guardian brings together the precision of artificial intelligence with the assurance of human intervention, enabling a uniform and safe mobility experience across the markets we operate in."

Ola ‘Guardian’ is a real-time monitoring system, which was launched as a pilot in Bangalore, Mumbai and Pune. It is part of Ola’s national programme on safety, ‘Street Safe’. According to the company, it is a first for the ride-sharing industry. The alerts from ‘'Guardian' are flagged off in real-time to the firm's dedicated 24x7 "Safety Response Team.” The team reaches out to drivers and customers to confirm their safety and offer on-the-call assistance until ride completion.

To prevent driver impersonation, Ola has put in place a facial recognition system. Through the selfie authentication initiative, driver-partners are required to validate their identity by taking a selfie and sharing it with the Ola team immediately through the app. This photograph of the driver will then be compared to the image on record. Impersonators will have their platform access revoked and will be subject to investigation. Ola will also initiate offline audit checks at transport hubs including airports, railway stations and bus stands to further curb driver impersonation.

Kia Seltos EV reportedly in development

Having launched its maiden vehicle in India some six months ago, Korean automaker Kia appears to be eyeing the EV space for 2020. According to a recent report by US Kia news portal theKEEA, an all-electric version of the Kia Seltos subcompact crossover is currently in development. The Kia Seltos EV will, naturally, be based on the Kia Seltos that’s currently selling in the Indian market at a starting price of Rs 9.69 lakh. Production of the Kia Seltos EV is reportedly set to happen in August 2020. The car will initially be exclusive to Asian markets, which should include India.

While Kia has not officially confirmed the development of the Seltos EV, rumours about it have been trickling in gradually. The latest one from theKEEA reveals some of the specs the car might have. For starters, it’s codenamed SP2 EV, which is a rather suggestive variation of the original SP Concept badge the early Seltos bore. Secondly, it’s said to share its powertrain with the Hyundai Kona Electric (and Kia Soul EV). That means it could have the same 64kWh lithium-ion polymer battery that’s hooked up to a single permanent-magnet synchronous motor that produces 204 horsepower.

Now, it’s worth noting that the Hyundai Kona Electric sold in the Indian market has a feebler powertrain, so the Kia Seltos EV could be fitted with the same. Unlike the model sold in the US and Europe, the Kona Electric in India is powered by a 39.2kWh lithium-ion polymer battery that’s connected to a single permanent-magnet synchronous motor that produces 136 horsepower. Despite the smaller battery, the Kona Electric enjoys an ARAI-certified range of 452 kilometres on a single charge. This means the Seltos EV could come with a similar range if it ends up getting the Kona Electric’s powertrain in India.

The Kia Seltos was announced in India in June this year with as many as three engine options, including a 1.4-litre Turbo GDI petrol motor that’s mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. While the exteriors get Kia’s proprietary ‘Tiger Nose’ grille and all-LED headlamps along with numerous drive control technologies, the interiors get six airbags, a head-up display, climate control, and an inbuilt air purifier. The dashboard is home to a 10.25-inch touchscreen display that’s part of the Seltos’ advanced infotainment system. You can read more about the Kia Seltos here.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite and Galaxy S10 Lite could launch at CES 2020

Information circulating the internet suggests that the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite and Galaxy S10 Lite could launch at CES 2020. The information comes from the Korea Herald which suggests that Samsung could showcase the devices at the world's largest consumer electronics show. However, they don't cite any industry source or insider with the information so we suggest you take it with a grain of salt. Samsung is expected to showcase its flagship S11 family of devices around MWC 2020 which takes place in February so expect more mobile news from the Mobile World Congress. As for CES, the Consumer Electronics Show is the world's largest exhibition for consumer electronics. The event kicks off on January 7, 2020, at Las Vegas.

CES is usually home to a wide variety of consumer electronics from TVs to refrigerators, smart home appliances, concept devices, fitness devices, wearables, 3D printers and a whole lot more. We have seen smartphones at CES but flagship launches have been far and few.

According to the Korea Herald “The relatively affordable Galaxy S10 Lite and Galaxy Note10 Lite models, with lower-end specs to square off against Apple’s iPhone XR and iPhone 11, are likely to be presented at CES 2020. The Lite lineup is expected to be launched initially in India in January”.

Speaking of the specification of the S10 Lite, Information circulating the internet suggests that the device will sport a 6.7-inch full-HD+ (1080 x 2400 pixels) Super AMOLED display with a 19.5:9 aspect ratio. Under the hood, the smartphone will be powered by the flagship Snapdragon 855 SoC coupled with 8GB of RAM and 128GB storage. At the back, the S10 Lite is expected to house a 48MP primary camera along with a 12MP ultra-wide camera and a 5MP macro camera. At the front, the device is expected to have a 32MP camera for your selfie needs. A 4500mAh battery with support for 45W fast charging is expected to power the entire package. The smartphone is expected to come in white, black, and blue colour options.

Moving to the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite, the device is expected to sport a 6.7-inch full-HD+ (1080 x 2400 pixels) HDR AMOLED display with a hole-punch for the front-facing camera. Under the hood, it is expected to be powered by Samsung’s own Exynos 9810 SoC, coupled with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of UFS storage. It is expected to have three cameras at the back - a 12MP primary camera, a 12MP ultra-wide-angle camera and a third 12MP telephoto camera with support for 2x optical zoom. At the front, the device will have a 32MP selfie camera, just like the S10 Lite. Just like the S10 Lite, the Note 10 Lite is expected to have a 4500mAh battery but the difference is that the Note 10 Lite has support for 25W Samsung Fast Charging. The phone is expected to come in Black, Red and White colour options with a gradient finish.

In other CES news, OnePlus has confirmed their presence at the event and will showcase the Concept One. You can read more about it here.
