Congratulations on the launch of the Note 40 Pro series. Can you elaborate on why wireless charging was included as a feature in this more affordable price range?
Anish Kapoor: Thank you. Our primary focus was to solve consumer charging issues by introducing a more versatile charging option. From our market research, we learned that a substantial portion of smartphone users prefer the convenience of wireless charging.
They feel limited by traditional wired methods and often express concerns about being tethered to charging cables. This inclusion aligns with our commitment to not only meet but exceed consumer expectations in terms of functionality and convenience.

Regarding the Note 40 Pro and Pro Plus models, the differences seem to be mainly in the charging speed and battery capacity. Was there a specific reason for not diversifying more in terms of hardware, like using different processors?
Anish Kapoor: Yes, besides the variations in charging speeds and battery sizes, the Pro Plus model also boasts 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB storage.
Our strategy here is centered on usability and providing options that cater to diverse consumer needs.
Some consumers prioritize larger storage or enhanced multitasking capabilities, which the increased RAM facilitates, while others may look for faster charging options.
This approach allows us to address various preferences without overcomplicating our product line.

With the market dynamics, is there an interest in exploring the flagship market segment?
Anish Kapoor: Currently, we are focusing on the market segments that represent the majority, which is up to Rs 30,000. This segment forms the backbone of our market and where we see the most demand.
However, we are continually assessing the market for potential opportunities to introduce higher-end models if we identify a strong consumer demand.

Let’s talk about Polix AI. How did this feature come about, and what can users expect in terms of device integration?
Anish Kapoor: Polix AI was developed in response to the growing demand for smarter, more responsive technology in smartphones.
It debuted in our Note 35G model and has since been refined.
Polix AI is designed to offer real-time assistance for users on the move—whether they are traveling, working, or creating content. It’s as simple as activating the assistant with a voice command, making multitasking much more seamless.
