Nokia announced that it has reached the milestone of 4,000 patent families declared as essential to 5G standards. The milestone reflects Nokia’s continued leadership in cellular technology R&D and standardization.

Nokia has played a pivotal role in defining many of the fundamental technologies enabling 5G, working with the 3GPP organization to establish 5G standards and enabling the rollout of 5G networks. As the deployment of 5G accelerates, Nokia’s 5G technology will enable a wide range of use cases, including immersive experiences, connected vehicles and cloud robotics.

Jenni Lukander, President of Nokia Technologies, said “We’re proud to have reached the milestone of 4,000 high quality patent families declared as essential to 5G but the work does not stop there. Our focus is on innovating for the future. Driving the development of the next generation of cellular standards and enabling entire industries to build upon our inventions.”

Nokia’s industry-leading patent portfolio is built on more than €130 billion invested in R&D since 2,000 and over three decades of driving cellular standardization and contains around 20,000 patent families (each patent family consists of multiple individual patents).

Several independent third-party studies have confirmed Nokia’s leadership in standard essential patents, including 5G, and this year Nokia became one of the first companies to achieve ISO 9001 certification for its high-quality patent portfolio management.

Nokia contributes its inventions to open standards in return for the right to license them on fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory (FRAND) terms. Companies can license and use these technologies without the need to make their own substantial investments in R&D.

Jabra Elite 3 Review: It does the job well with handy features

With the True Wireless Stereo (TWS) market exploding in India like never before, every brand – big or small – wants to cash in on this opportunity. From a global player to a homegrown electronics venture, worth its salt, has an offering or two. Danish brand Jabra, a formidable player in the personal audio segment which is mostly known for making expensive hearables, recently introduced some affordable wireless earbuds, including Elite 3 priced at Rs 6,999 in India. Packing in a host of features, the Jabra Elite 3 comes in four colour variants- Dark Grey, Light Beige, Lilac and Navy. Let’s find out how good it is in a competitive market like India in this review.

Build and Design

The Jabra Elite 3 is a bit different from its predecessors. Although it looks a bit bulky, it’s quite compact and has a new shape that offers an in-canal fit with the earbuds a bit more angular to provide some isolation. The in-canal fit gives decent passive noise isolation, since it doesn’t support active noise cancellation.

The earbuds offer a nozzle-type design and their control buttons are also triangular in shape, having the company’s branding and LED indicator on the top. The buttons are easy to press and make the control easy. We had the Dark Grey variant for review and the earbuds are quite lightweight and comfortable for long hours of usage. You get three sizes of silicone ear tips to fit the buds to your ear, as they offer a secure and snug fit design.

The charging case is made up of plastic and feels a little more fragile than the earpieces but it looks good and compact and is easy to carry, as it easily slips into your pants pocket. There is a Jabra branding and a charging indicator on the front and a USB Type-C port on the back to charge the case. The Jabra Elite 3 is IP55 rated, making it water and dust resistant.

Taken as a whole, the earbuds offer a comfortable fit in your ears and you’ll not experience any sort of fatigue even after using it for long hours. The Jabra Elite 3 is not as sturdy as its predecessors, considering its flimsy body. Besides, the physical buttons look outdated in the age of touch panels.

Functionalities

The earbuds easily get connected to your smartphone via Bluetooth. Tap the right button once to play/pause the song, a double press skips the track forward, while a triple press rewinds. To increase the volume, you’ll have to press and hold the right button. Likewise, you can turn ambient sound on/off with a single press on the left side, whereas the voice assistant can be activated by a double press. To reduce the volume, you need to press and hold the left button. These are handy features that will make using the buds much more efficient. Like any other TWS earbuds, these buttons are also of great help in picking up and cancelling a call. You can also use earbuds independently in the mono mode which is a welcome feature but not new.

Performance

Jabra has always been a name to reckon with when it comes to sound quality. The audio output is very much close to what you get in premium devices. The earbuds are well-tuned and you’ll not feel audio being compressed or broken. The Jabra Elite 3 sounds very clean and clear with balanced mids and lows, with rich bass. You can play any genre of music using these earbuds and will enjoy the sound. Listening to Hindi music is a pleasant experience with these earbuds.

On the flip side, there’s no active noise cancellation feature, which goes against this TWS. You will have to manage it with the passive one which is decent both indoors and outdoors. Also, there’s no auto-pause, so it doesn’t pause the music when you remove the earbuds.

Amazingly, Jabra has given four microphones in the earbuds which ensure satisfactory call quality.

Battery

Standing tall to its claim, the all-new Jabra Elite 3 earbuds offer a tremendous battery life of up to 7 hours in regular use. In addition to this, the earbuds can be charged nearly 4 times using the charging case, so you get more than 25 hours of battery time easily. Besides, there is fast charging support that will give you an hour of usage with just 10 minutes of charging. It goes without saying that Jabra is a leader in offering powerful battery in its TWS devices.

Conclusion

The Jabra Elite 3 looks simple and sober, offers a comfortable fit and has a stupendous battery life, besides carrying its legacy of offering a premium sound quality. Even the call quality is superb. Although it’s not feature-rich, the Elite 3 offers you some really interesting features, such as the quick access to Spotify or Amazon Alexa. Having no ANC is definitely a downside, especially at a time when a number of brands are offering this feature at affordable prices. Taken as a whole, the Jabra Elite 3 is pretty reliable and a ‘value for money’ deal that you would love to have at the given price.

Homegrown wearable and audio brand Fire-Boltt has officially been adjudged as the undisputed leader in the smartwatch player in India as well as internationally.

As per the latest Counterpoint Research report, the Indian brand registered a stupendous 394% Quarter-on-Quarter growth during Q3 2021 to become the fastest growing smartwatch brand. Globally, Fire-Boltt ranked alongside Apple and Realme as the fastest growing smartwatch players during the given timeframe. Notably, the Q2 2021 report by another global research entity, the International Data Corporation (IDC), had mentioned that Fire-Boltt held 5.5% of the market share during the period while the latest report shows that the market share currently held by the company is 17%.

“Both IDC and Counterpoint Research reports confirm that Fire-Boltt is now the biggest name in India when it comes to smartwatches. The success of the brand can be attributed to various factors, including our back-to-back launches and collaborations with the likes of Virat Kohli and Vicky Kaushal – which also find a mention in the Counterpoint Research report. We, however, firmly believe that it is our organic outreach over the initial few years of inception that has laid the foundation of our phenomenal growth story that is akin to the scripting of a history,” said Fire-Boltt co-founders Aayushi and Arnav Kishore in the latest market reports.

The co-founders further said that it is a matter of pride for them that not global but homegrown brands contribute to nearly 75% of the Indian smartwatch market share, clocking a QoQ growth of 159% and YoY growth rate of a whopping 293%, according to the Q3 2021 report by Counterpoint Research.

The official declaration of Fire-Boltt leading the wearable space comes just days after the company forayed into the international market. Fire-Boltt’s brand ambassador and cricketing icon Virat Kohli last month unveiled the company’s entire smartwatch line for the UAE market. The Indian brand is slated to further expand its presence across other markets like Middle East, Sharjah and other Emirates within the next few weeks.
