Impacted by a demand slump due to multiple factors including inflation, China’s slowdown, and the Ukraine crisis, the global smartphone market sales declined 10% Year on Year (YoY) and 4% Month on Month (MoM) in May 2022. With this decline, the global smartphone market sales declined to 96 million units.
According to the Counterpoint Research’s Market Pulse Service, this was the second consecutive month of MoM decline and the 11th consecutive month of YoY sales decline.
The smartphone market is yet to reach the pre-pandemic levels even after a “V” shaped recovery following the first Covid-19 wave in 2020. Supply constraints and persistent Covid waves were the prominent reasons for the negative impact on the smartphone market in 2021. This year, the component shortages have been stabilizing though yet to fully resolved.
Inventory build-ups, declining shipments and order cuts are fallout of the low demand for smartphones. The second quarter is expected to bear the brunt in terms of sales before the situation improves in H2 2022.
Despite a continuous negativity throughout the summer, experts are hopeful for gradual improvement during H2 due to a more normalized situation in China, continued improvement in the supply-demand balance in tech supply chains, and a better macroeconomic landscape if inflation peaks in the mid-year period before heading back down.
In addition to geo-political issues, local promotional events such as 618 in China, back-to-school in August, Diwali in India followed by Christmas and New Year are expected to fuel the market growth in the coming months.
Furthermore, prominent launches such as the new Samsung Galaxy Fold series and the iPhone 14 series, may ignite some demand.
“The demand for a smartphone especially in the advanced economies is driven by replacement, which makes it a discretionary purchase. And inflationary pressures are leading to pessimistic consumer sentiment around the globe with people postponing non-essential purchases, including smartphones. The strengthening US dollar is also hurting emerging economies. A segment of consumers is likely to wait for seasonal promotions before purchasing to offset some of the cost pressures,” said Tarun Pathak, research director, Counterpoint.
The prolonged economic slowdown and lockdown in China collectively impacted the domestic demand as well as the global supply chain,’ said Varun Mishra, senior analyst, Counterpoint Research.
“Chinese smartphone market slight recovered in May after lockdowns eased, however remained 17% below as compared to the same period in May 2021,” adds Mishra. He further adds that it may be needed to add a new baseline market size defined for China’s smartphone market.
“Additionally, the uncertainty created by the ongoing Russia-Ukraine crisis, is also hurting demand in Eastern Europe. None of the OEMs seems to be spared from the negative impact on demand caused by a mix of these factors,” adds Mishra.
The age old saying of health is wealth is taken very seriously by the millennial generation given the great lengths they go to keep in good shape. Mental health is just as important because it plays a significant role in your physical well-being.
A smartwatch has become a must for every individual especially for those grappling with health issues. Apple is launching the new Series 8 smartwatch through which you can detect your body temperature easily, which is good news in current times when the entire world is battling Covid-19.
Earlier you could only check the heart rate, oxygen level, workout regime, etc. but this new feature will allow you to monitor viral fever because no one knows how and where you might contact the deadly corona virus.
The temperature sensor is going to be a gamechanger in many ways that might make the thermometer obsolete in the coming years. Rumors about this new feature in Series 8 had been doing the rounds since April although there was no definite confirmation from anywhere.
However, Bloomberg gave an official confirmation over the matter through Mark Gurman, who also added that it will not detect the exact temperature but notify the user if and when it increases in the body.
Official Report
Mark Gurman is a renowned analyst working at Bloomberg who has been in the industry for a long time so his words definitely carry weight. He mentioned about this new feature back in June of last year that will come out as per the company’s lineup of 2022.
Although he backtracked about it in January 2022 by giving a statement that the new feature is still a few years away, he reverted back to the original statement by claiming that the temperature sensor will indeed be launched in 2022 provided it passed the official testing guidelines in Apple.
There are also rumors floating about the official design of Series 8 where it is being speculated that the smartwatch will have a flat-edge design similar to iPhone 12 and 13 although the current models have a curved edge with a squared dial.
The makers have high hopes that it will pass all the internal tests with flying colours following which they will be able to launch it on the scheduled date, which will be a welcome oasis to health savvy individuals that constantly fret over the matter.
Smart Choice
While everyone is waiting with bated breath for the official Launch of Apple Watch Series 8 model, Gurman has added that the body temperature feature will also be present in the Apple Watch meant for athletes, which has been dubbed as the ‘rugged model’.
This will be launched simultaneously with Series 8 where we may witness some interesting features aside from the aforementioned one to look forward to.
Apple Watch Series
While one model is for common folks while the other is solely for sports athletes, the only common feature in both is that they will have the sensor to detect a rise in body temperature along with several other health-tracking features that the users can avail.

It made space for a larger and more vibrant display, a SpO2 sensor, more dedicated workout modes, and better battery life. Now, there’s been some news about its upcoming Mi Ban 7 Pro!
The upcoming band from Xiaomi- Xiaomi Band 7 Pro is expected to take things a step ahead. We already got some news that it will have an even bigger display, Built-in GPS support and a Smart Alam feature. Now it’s confirmed that the band will feature an Always On Display. Here’s all that we know!

Talking about the design of this latest band, this should be called as the biggest “deformation” since the birth of the Xiaomi smart band. The first band introduced by Xiaomi was an oval which is now changed into a square, equipped with a rectangular screen. Furthermore, the size of the display has also increased dramatically, and the effective display content is also significantly larger, which can bring a lot of new ways to play.
Xiaomi Band 7 Pro: Other features and specs
Coming to more specs of the upcoming Band 7 Pro, the teased images speak a lot of things. The smartwatch will feature an always-on 1.49-inch AMOLED Display. The bezel controls on this one also seem to be very functional and well built.
The latest Xiaomi Band 7 Pro is an upgraded smart band that looks similar to the Redmi’s Smart Band Pro with a more premium metal chassis. Additionally, the design of the always-on display is also accessible in a wide range of options, and it should match the primary market to provide the user with free third-party downloads.
Coming to the fitness features, the Band 7 Pro may share some functionalities with the Redmi Smart Band Pro, especially in the fitness and health tracking department. It will feature a professional sports mode, 24-hour heart rate sleep monitoring with sleep and stress monitoring as well. Users would be able to do things like pressure monitoring, breathing training, PAI vitality index assessment, sedentary reminders, step counting, goal setting, and other functions that replace the generic smartwatches.
Talking about the colour options on Band 7 Pro, the band is expected to come in two colours: Gold and Black. Additionally, the device will be equipped with a quick-release strap design, can be very easy to disassemble the upper and lower strap, and convenient replacement for different styles.
According to the earlier speculation, the Band 7 Pro may eventually have a battery capacity of 250 mAh, which is 25% larger than the tracker with the Redmi name. On the Pro model, Xiaomi could for the first time provide a standalone GPS connection. As a result, the band will fall into the same category as Zepp’s newly released Amazfit Bip 3 Pro, which has the same feature.

Recently, the Meta-owned photo-sharing platform, Instagram, added a new feature that turns your videos into short interesting reels. Now, it has something exclusive for iOS users. Now the iOS users will be able to delete their Instagram accounts straight there from the app.
Instagram did offer users the option to delete their account, but there was a whole procedure to it. The latest feature will allow users to eliminate the hustle of logging in to their web accounts and then repeating the long boring procedure of deleting their Instagram accounts. Now, they can satisfy the introvert urge of being anti-social straight for the week using the app only. Here’s all about the update and how to use it:
iOS users can now delete their Instagram using the app only
Instagram users may now instantly cancel their accounts using the mobile app. The platform did have the option to deactivate the account from the app, but not this one. Hence, to give ease to the users and to comply with the updated terms of Apple Store requirements, Instagram has enabled users to delete their Instagram accounts directly from the app.
According to rumours, Apple’s new Program Store Review Guidelines mandate that any app that provides in-app account creation have a method for users to delete their accounts. Earlier, Instagram users had no delete option within the app. They would have to log in with their desktops and then delete their accounts permanently, which was a whole drown-out procedure.
Talking about the new functionality, a representative from Meta stated, “We want to provide users more options to manage their Instagram experience and use time. We’ve made it possible for you to remove your account using the iOS’ Settings app, however, you may still choose to temporarily disable it first.” Earlier, users had to log in to Instagram using a web browser on a mobile PC in order to delete their accounts permanently. However, things will become easier and more convenient now.
How to delete your Instagram account using the app
The new feature is now available for iOS users. Additionally, it is very simple to do it. Here’s how:
Step1: Open your Instagram account
Step2: Tap on the menu coming in the right corner on the top
Step3: Go to setting and scroll down the menu
Step4: From the settings tap on the Account
Step5: Scroll down the screen and you will find the option in the last
And that’s it! This is how you can delete your Instagram using the app itself. If you’re not sure about deleting your account permanently, you can also opt for deactivating for some time.
According to Apple’s support website, “when an account is erased from the app, the company also deletes the account from the developer’s files and any associated data that the developer is not obligated by law to keep. Apps that offer this choice to consumers give them more control over the shared personal data”.
Instagram new features
Instagram, has recently introduced its new feature where the users can share their long videos as reels. The new feature is reportedly being tested with a limited number of users from across the world. The report claims that the feature is aimed to simplify the videos on the photo-sharing app.
Those who are part of the test can see a pop-up message saying people will be able to use the audio of the video to create their own Reels if your account is public and you share a video. Additionally, the message also adds that anyone can now create a remix with the user’s Reel and download it as part of their remix. However, users have a choice to turn off remixing from settings.
It has also added the Sensitive Content Control feature launched last year along with the new interactive features for reels, and AMBER alerts. These are some more prominent features and updates announced by Instagram recently.
According to the latest update, the Sensitive Content Control feature will now cover all surfaces “where we make recommendations,” confirmed Instagram. In addition, to Explore, users will now be able to control the amount of sensitive content and accounts they see in Search, Reels, Accounts users Might Follow, Hashtag Pages and In-Feed Recommendations.
In a blog post, the company said that “it has invested nearly 100 million USD to improve India’s local video game, Esports, and entertainment startups to build a healthy gaming start-up ecosystem”. Krafton also added that the company has been focused on growing the Esports ecosystem in the country with India-centric events and content. Revealing the future plans, the game giants also said, “We have plans to organise more events, tournaments with larger prize pools and “more opportunities for aspiring gamers to gain exposure and make their mark on the industry”. The company highlighted that the recently concluded BMPS (BATTLEGROUNDS MOBILE PRO SERIES) SEASON 1 with a prize pool of INR 2 Crore was the largest in Indian Esports history. As part of its long-term vision to grow the Esports scene in India, the company has confirmed that it has plans to launch even larger tournaments for BGMI this year.
