The C 400 GT maxi model had performed well for its 1 lakh INR (roughly 12,511 US Dollars) price tag, so it appears that the brand plans on launching another premium model.

With such a price tag, the company is clearly targeting the wealthy and motor enthusiasts in the country.

A cancelled mid-range Microsoft Surface Duo briefly appears on eBay

Microsoft Surface Duo range is a unique take on the foldable phone, with a book-like physical factor and two distinct screens instead of one folding display. However, these devices were initially quite pricey, starting at $1400.

A mid-range Surface Duo tablet that has been discontinued is now listed on eBay, according to Windows Central. The outlet was nevertheless able to save a few pictures even though the item had already been sold and the listing had been taken down.

Surface Duo Go 2

According to the source, the tablet, code-named Cronos, was slated to be on sale later this year as a less expensive alternative to the Surface Duo 2. This means flat screens without the look bar, a plastic body, a twin camera configuration, and an upper mid-range Snapdragon processor. A precise price range wasn’t mentioned, so it’s unknown if the less expensive Surface Duo would have provided a 90Hz refresh rate like its more expensive stablemate.

The device was abandoned in late 2021 so that Microsoft could concentrate on the following high-end Surface Duo (presumably the Surface Duo 3). The launch of this main product is supposedly planned for the following year.

We haven’t yet seen a mid-range Surface Duo device, which might be a good thing. Microsoft’s initial Surface Duo was a shoddy mess when it first came out, and the Surface Duo 2 had a similar rollout. What are the chances that a third Surface Duo model will again be released with a number of problems? Even still, a more affordable gadget would increase the accessibility of Microsoft’s dual-screen devices.

Samsung releases an AI-based photo editing app

Samsung is back at it with yet another intriguing photography app available in the Galaxy Store, just a few months after introducing the Expert RAW camera app for Galaxy devices.

Samsung Galaxy Enhance X App

The application, Galaxy Enhance-X, claims to be a “one-stop AI solution for all media enhancements” that uses artificial intelligence to evaluate your photographs for flaws, enhance them, and upscale them to a higher quality.

The app has a lot of features such as blur removal, reflections removal, resolution upscaling, detail sharpening brightening a low-light image, HDR effect improvement, and moire pattern removal.

The software undoubtedly offers a diverse range of interesting features and functionalities. Having a first-party solution is always nice, even though we’ve seen the majority of things in numerous third-party applications, such as Adobe’s Lightroom and Photoshop Express.

The Galaxy Enhance-X app’s biggest feature is that all adjustments and enhancements are made to a copy of your image, effectively preventing any damage to the original image. This app is only available on the Galaxy Store, therefore it might not be accessible everywhere. Additionally, it only works with Android 10 phones, thus earlier devices cannot use it.

Samsung leads in terms of market share globally

Samsung maintained its position as the leading smartphone provider globally with a 21 percent market share. Thanks in part to strong sales of its reasonably priced Galaxy A series.

Data from market research company Canalys’ second-quarter sales figures reveal a 9 percent decrease in smartphone shipments year over year. The descriptive analysis of the reasons for the problem blames both regional and worldwide economic difficulties.

canalys reportApple was able to maintain the second best market share among all phone manufacturers with 17 percent thanks to the continued high demand for the iPhone 13 series. Xiaomi, Oppo, and Vivo, all Chinese brands, came in third, fourth, and fifth, respectively. The second quarter saw reductions in phone shipments for each of these companies, leaving them with respective market shares of 14% (Xiaomi), 10% (Oppo), and 9% of the global market (Vivo).

Runar Bjrhovde, a Canalys Research Analyst, said: “Vendors were forced to review their tactics in Q2 as the outlook for the smartphone market became more cautious. Economic headwinds, sluggish demand, and inventory pileup have resulted in vendors rapidly reassessing their portfolio strategies for the rest of 2022. The oversupplied mid-range is an exposed segment for vendors to focus on adjusting new launches, as budget-constrained consumers shift their device purchases toward the lower end.”

For the record, Apple’s market share increased by a commanding 21.4 percent on a yearly basis. With a 16.7% year-over-year rise in Q2 market share, Samsung came in second place to Apple. Vivo lost 10% of its Q2 2021 market share in 2022, while Oppo had a 9.1% annual decline in its second quarter market share. Xiaomi saw a loss of 17.6% of its Q2 2021 market share.
