India Smartwatch Market Doubles in 2022, While Wrist Bands Fall by 84%

Feb 9, 2023

A new report has revealed interesting details regarding the wearable market in India. In 2022, smartwatches and hearables have seen robust growth, while smart bands/wrist bands have seen a major decline. Here are all the details.

An IDC report found that India saw 30.72 million units of smartwatches being shipped in 2022, which marks a whopping 151.3 percent growth over the previous year which saw just 12.22 million units in sales. On a similar positive trend even the hearables category saw a 28 percent growth year on year, reaching 68.83 million units in shipments last year. However, the wrist band category saw a hefty 84.4 percent decline during this same period, shipping just around 592,000 units in the whole year, compared to 2.2 million units in 2021.

One of the reasons for the decline of smart bands is due to the falling price tags of smartwatches. The latter are generally more powerful and more capable in terms of functionality, so its not surprising that cheaper smartwatches have basically replaced these gadgets. Brands that took advantage of this includes boAt and Noise that took the two top spots in the wearable market in India, with a 29.3 percent and 12.2 percent market share respectively.

Notably, OnePlus also rounded up the top 3 list with an 8.7 percent market share. While most brands saw a rise in this time, boAt’s market share saw a decline but it still leads the market. The top three brands accounted for over half of the entire market primarily due to strong sales in the hearables category, which is worth more than half of the entire wearables market in the region.

The product range of technology companies is expanding day by day. For example, Apple and Huawei continue to work to make electric vehicles. Moreover, Xiaomi and a few other companies are following in their footsteps. However, the situation is slightly different for NIO. Because this time, the car manufacturer is preparing to launch a smartphone. Here are the details about the NIO Phone….

NIO smartphone will launch in 2023

NIO has recently released a render of its upcoming smartphone, the NIO Phone. According to the company’s statement, the phone is expected to be released in the third quarter of the year and will have a circular camera module on the back and a triangular camera distribution. The phone is designed with rounded edges and the NIO logo is located on the lower half of the device.

However, the design of the phone has received mixed reviews from the public. Some have compared the phone’s design to Huawei’s Mate 50 and Honor’s Magic 5 series, with some saying it lacks originality. There are also comments on the internet that criticize the phone’s appearance as “roughly PS processed” and “ugly.” It should be noted that these are not our thoughts.

The NIO Phone is positioned as a high-end flagship device and is expected to be priced above 5000 yuan, potentially reaching up to 7000 yuan. This would make it one of the few flagship devices on the market that is a straight-plate phone. NIO’s CEO, Li Bin, has previously stated that the NIO Phone will be the product with the highest matching degree with NIO’s electric cars, indicating that the company is looking to integrate its products into a seamless user experience.

While the NIO Phone has garnered attention for its association with the electric vehicle maker, its design has not been well received by the public. The phone’s high price point and lack of originality are factors that may deter consumers from buying the device. Only time will tell if NIO’s entry into the smartphone market will be successfu

Feb 9, 2023

In May 2022, Redmi unveiled the Redmi Note 11T Pro and Note 11T Pro+ smartphones in the Chinese market. Rumors are rife that a Note-branded model featuring the upcoming Snapdragon 7 Gen 2 chip is in the works. In all likelihood, it will arrive as a successor to the Redmi Note 11T series. The final marketing name of the device is yet to be revealed. According to rumors, the device will be called the Note 12T or Note 12 Turbo. Today, tipster Digital Chat Station shared some information about the device on Weibo. The original post is no longer available since DCS has modified it. However, TechGoing has published a report based on what he originally posted.

As per the report, the tipster revealed that the Redmi Note 12 Turbo has the upcoming Snapdragon 7-series chipset, which is said to be the Snapdragon 7 Gen 2 chip. He added that the device will arrive with a 6.67-inch Full HD+ OLED display with eye-protection dimming, a 5,500mAh battery that offers 67W fast charging, an IR blaster, and a linear motor.

As can be seen, the tipster has just reiterated what he shared before. However, he also added that there will not be a Pro+ version for the device.

Bing’s Downloads Increase Tenfold Since ChatGPT Integration Goes Public

Feb 9, 2023

Excitement has been building around Microsoft’s plan to enhance its search engine, Bing, with AI-powered capabilities, similar to OpenAI‘s ChatGPT. The news has sparked a surge in the popularity of the Bing app, propelling it to the top of the App Store charts for the first time in years. In the US, the app has skyrocketed to the number 12 spot among all free iPhone apps. At the same time, Microsoft’s Edge browser is now the number 3 utility app. According to estimates from data.ai, new downloads of the Bing app have increased tenfold globally.

This shows that there is clear consumer demand for these AI-powered experiences, and users are eager to try new search engines and browsers to gain access. Yesterday, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella talked about the company’s plans for the new Bing.com, including OpenAI’s language model integration with the company’s services. This new addition will provide users with a ChatGPT-like experience within the search engine, allowing them to converse with an AI chatbot for more complex queries and to assist in content creation tasks, like writing a LinkedIn post. Microsoft also unveiled a new version of its Edge web browser with the same AI features built into the sidebar for easy access.

Although the new Bing is now available, it is currently in a limited preview phase, and users must join a waitlist to try the new AI features. Microsoft has stated that millions of users will be invited from the waitlist over the next few weeks. The company has also come up with a way for users to move up the waitlist by setting Microsoft’s search as the default on their PC and scanning a QR code to install the Microsoft Bing app on their smartphone. This push from Microsoft clearly implies the company’s intentions of getting ahead of its competition, especially Google. This has clearly inspired the rapid climb of the app up the App Store charts.

The Bing app’s sudden rise in popularity demonstrates the demand for AI and the potential threat to Google. Google currently pays Apple billions each year to be the default search engine in Safari, but if a significant number of consumers switch to another web search app like Bing or Edge to try out the new AI capabilities, Google could lose market share on one of the largest platforms to browse the web.

Although the Edge app hasn’t seen the same rapid climb as Bing, it has now reached number 3 on the US App Store’s Top Charts for Utilities, up from number 7 on Monday. More specific data on the total new installs may become available in the coming weeks, but one thing is very apparent – Microsoft is banking on the hype behind Artificial Intelligence, and this might be the company’s best strategy to make Bing relevant as a search engine again.

Twitter Blue Subscribers Can Now Post 4,000-character Tweets

By

Feb 9, 2023

Twitter, which was designed around the idea of having short, bite-sized posts known as Tweets is slowly deviating away from the idea. With the latest addition to its Twitter Blue perks, the platform has now given its paid subscribers the ability to post tweets that are up to 4,000 characters long. Previously, the character limit for tweets was merely 280. This feature also applies to quote tweets and replies, and users can also add media to their longer posts.

While only Blue subscribers can take advantage of this new feature, all users can still read these longer tweets. On the timeline, only the first 280 characters will be visible, but users can easily click on “Show more” to access the entire tweet. This change could encourage more users to opt for the Twitter Blue subscription, and may also discourage the use of threads for longer content. However, this is merely a speculation, since the paywall behind which Twitter Blue is present is quite steep, as discussed later in this article.

Twitter is also giving Blue subscribers a break from excessive ads, with plans to reduce the number of advertisements by almost 50 percent. This move is in line with Twitter CEO Elon Musk’s vision for a costlier, ad-free subscription plan. Additionally, Twitter Blue has introduced the ability to post 60-minute-long videos, catering to bloggers and video content creators.

Twitter Blue is currently purchasable in 15 markets. The most recent inclusions in this list are India, Brazil, and Indonesia. However, at a monthly cost of INR 650 ($7.87) in India, it is even more expensive than other media subscription services like YouTube Premium, Spotify, and Apple Music, which are all priced under $4 (INR 330). The cost of Twitter Blue is on par with Netflix’s highest tier plan, which offers 4K quality on four screens.

In conclusion, Twitter’s latest offering of longer tweets and reduced ads is set to change the social media landscape, with its Blue subscribers reaping the benefits. However, time will tell how this impacts future Twitter Blue updates.

Some Galaxy S23 Units Lost Network Access; T-Mobile Explains Why

Feb 9, 2023

Samsung has unveiled its lineup of premium smartphones for 2023. Three different smartphones are included in the series: the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra. All of the smartphones are powered by a customised version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen2, dubbed “Snapdragon 8 Gen2 for Galaxy” by Samsung. Anyway, the customers who pre-ordered the Samsung Galaxy S23 with the intention of using it on the T-Mobile network in the USA had a problem that resulted in them losing network access to their existing handsets and SIM cards. Now that T-Mobile has made an official statement about it, it appears that Samsung made a mistake!

An internal T-Mobile documentation describing the root of the problem has recently surfaced. Due to a fault in Samsung’s system, the internal eSIM function on the Galaxy S23 was activated before the phone was shipped to pre-order consumers. As a result, affected customers lose network access to their current devices and SIM cards. The issue persists even when SIM protection is turned on. So in a nutshell, T-Mobile wasn’t the one responsible for the cause. But it was Samsung on whom the blame goes.

The good news is that the problem appears to be limited to a small number of Galaxy S23 phones, thus not everyone who ordered a new Galaxy S23 from Samsung for T-network Mobile has had this early eSIM activation issue. Fortunately, impacted users’ SIM cards have not been switched by malevolent parties. Additionally, impacted Galaxy S23 buyers who have been disconnected from T-network Mobile can resolve the issue by contacting the carrier’s support line.

So that was all about the recent issue spotted with the T-Mobile carriers on Galaxy S23 series devices. If you want to place a pre-order for the Galaxy S23 right away, you probably shouldn’t be concerned because this problem only affected a small number of Galaxy S23 phones and there is a fix for it. Do let us know what are your thoughts on this by dropping a comment down below. Thanks a lot for reading the post all the way to the end.
