There’s a continued pandemic-induced surge in mobile gaming in India, with a healthy rate of 16% (YoY), as per the latest findings from CyberMedia Research. The number of hardcore gamers has seen a remarkable 40% growth in the post-Covid period, riding on the increasing mobile gaming maturity, evidenced in increased game time, and thanks to powerful smartphones, revealed the study.

“Our gaming intelligence attributes this spike in hardcore and enthusiast gaming to powerful smartphones across the mid and lower price tiers,” said Prabhu Ram, Head- Industry Intelligence Group (IIG), CyberMedia Research.

A similar growth trend is observed in the case of casual gamers, while the proportion of hyper-casual gamers declined 16% YoY, according to the CMR survey insights, which further say that 86% gamers are satisfied with their current smartphone as a gaming device.

“Hyper-casual gamers have, over the past two years, switched or upgraded to new smartphones, and this is reflected in the increased game time. At the core of these democratized gaming experiences in the value-for-money smartphone segment are, amongst others, the powerful smartphone processors,” said Ram.

Binge gaming to the fore

According to its latest gaming survey insights from CMR’s gaming-centric intelligence, three in every five gamers spend 31 mins to 120 mins in a typical play session. On an average, each gamer spends 79 minutes in a typical play session. The average number of games installed in a smartphone stands at 7, of which at least 4 games are played regularly. Three in every five gamers play action/adventure games. Hardcore gamers mostly play, or prefer action, and first-person shooter games.

From Free-to-play to Paid mobile gaming

With increasing gaming maturity, casual and hardcore Indian mobile gamers are now increasingly switching to paid gaming apps from freemium apps, as per the CMR gaming survey results. In comparison to the pre-Covid period, there has been a whopping more than100% uptick in paid gaming in post-Covid India. The average mobile gaming spend during this period increased a significant 44%, it found.

Participation in online gaming contests

The study said two in every three hardcore gamers have participated in online gaming contests, with a 10% YoY growth in gamer participation. Hardcore gamers participate, on an average, in eight online gaming contests annually. Some of the prominent gaming titles played include Counter Strike (40%), StarCraft II (39%), League of Legends (38%) and Rocket League (36%). There is improved awareness amongst hardcore gamers around cloud gaming. Four in every nine hardcore gamers have played cloud-based games on their smartphone, with cloud gaming familiarity driven by Sony PlayStation Now (PS Now) (51%), Microsoft Xbox Game Pass (47%) and Google Stadia (42%).

The rise of democratized smartphone gaming experiences

Battery life (66%), fast game loading (54%) and display (53%) are the top three smartphone aspects that matter while playing game on smartphone, as per the study. Among gamers, awareness and perception rating in terms of gaming performance have increased across MediaTek product portfolio, including the MediaTek Dimensity and MediaTek Helio G series. Qualcomm leads in brand awareness (87%) and usage (29%). MediaTek followed closely – brand awareness (82%) and usage (28%). MediaTek enjoys a strong growth momentum with higher conversion rate of awareness to usage among gamers. Four in every five mobile gamers rate MediaTek highly for its gaming performance.

“Smartphone gaming is increasingly becoming social, with gamers connecting with friends and family over gaming. Alongside, gamers have attributed gaming to support in improving their concentration, and, making them more informed about the world outside,” said Satya Mohanty, Head- Industry Consulting Group (ICG), CyberMedia Research.

To help visually impaired people, IIT Kanpur has developed an affordable novel touch-sensitive smartwatch. Featuring health parameters such as heart rate, SpO2 etc, instant short-timer, hydration reminder and others, the cost-effective smart watch comes with a touch-sensitive tactile interface that displays information using vibrations. This makes it more suitable for usage as compared to audio-based output devices available in the market.

India is home to about 20% of the total around 49 million blind and 285 million visually impaired persons in the world. The haptic smartwatch by IIT Kanpur is aimed to address the difficulty faced by visually impaired persons in easily interacting with devices due to the absence of tactile interface.

Equipped with modern techniques, the haptic smartwatch has been developed by Prof. Siddhartha Panda, Department of Chemical Engineering, and Vishwaraj Srivastava at the National Centre for Flexible Electronics, IIT Kanpur. Haptics deals with the technology that stimulates the sense of touch.

Features of haptic smartwatch

The haptic smartwatch also features “smart timer”, which is used to set short-timers using simple gestures. The dial face consisting vibration-based output and tactile touch-sensitive hour markers is used to create an interface to select different apps, to read time, haptically recognize different apps, and to sense the numbers.

To read health parameters such as the heart rate and SpO2, the haptic smartwatch has sensor like PPG (Photoplethysmography). To measure the step count and to keep track of daily activity, the smartphone is equipped with an accelerometer.

Users will be able to read all these parameters by using the haptic menu. The haptic smartwatch has a special feature called a “smart timer” which is used to set short timers using a simple and unique gesture.

Congratulating Professor Panda, and Vishwaraj Srivastava, for this invention, Abhay Karandikar, director IIT Kanpur, said that it is our objective at IIT Kanpur to make innovations inclusive for all.

Professor Karandikar is hopeful that the newly developed haptic smartwatch will be a boon for the blind and the visually impaired.

“The touch-sensitive and vibration-based features would prove to be revolutionary in giving the sense of time to the blind and the visually impaired,” says Professor Karandikar.

Jio Game Controller: Price, specs, and everything you need to know

Reliance Jio has quietly launched its new Gaming Controller in the Indian market. It sounds quite weird when we hear anything else besides the smartphone with Jio. However, the brand has changed the way it used to be.

The product is listed on the official website of Jio, stating its features and specs. The gaming controller is said to feature a great battery life of up to 8 hours and that too on a single charge. This is the first such product from the popular telecom operator. Earlier it used to sell mobile phones only. Here are all the details, check it out!

Jio Game Controller: Price and availability in India

Jio, just like its mobile data plans, has kept the controller in a very budget-friendly range. The ‘Jio Game Controller’ is currently priced at Rs 3,499 in India (inclusive of taxes). Also, Jio is offering easy EMI options starting from Rs 164.71 for the controller as well. For some context, the Xbox One official controller is also sold at Rs 3,499 while the one for Xbox Series X cost Rs 4,199. Various editions of the Sony PS5 and PS4 controllers are meanwhile priced around Rs 4000 and Rs 5000.

Users can easily get their controllers from Reliance Jio’s official website. Now the gamers can have a sigh of relief as this one does go heavy on features but not on your pocket. Here are the specifications you can get in this one!

Jio Game Controller: Specs

The very first advantage of this gaming controller is that it offers amazing compatibility across many platforms. The Game Controller can be used with Android tablets and TVs and other devices. However, the ones using Jio set-top box will enjoy it the most. Unfortunately, you won’t get Play Station or Xbox connectivity/compatibility with this one.

Coming to the battery life on this one, so the company claims that the Jio Game Controller has an 8-hour long battery life with support for haptic control. It also supports low latency gaming, which is a crucial aspect of an enhanced gaming experience for any user. Furthermore, the controller features two vibration feedback motors installed with two pressure-point triggers and an eight-direction arrow button.

Talking about the connectivity specs, it comes with features like Bluetooth v4.1 support, offering a wireless range of up to 10 metres. It also comes with two joysticks. Also, there are not many colour options available for the Jio gaming controller as of now. The one available in the market comes in a matte black finish.

Reliance Jio’s other developments

Meanwhile, Reliance Jio has become the first telecom operator in the country to offer mobile telephony service to the Kedarnath trek route. The service that provides telecom services between the Kedarnath shrine and Gaurikund was inaugurated by the Badrinath-Kedarnath Mandir Samiti Chairman Ajendra Ajay on Sunday.

As far as details of this newly launched service are concerned, Jio said that it has already installed a full capacity tower at Sonprayag, which is one of the key halt locations in the Kedarnath trek route. The company plans to install five more towers between the Kedarnath Shrine and Gaurikund. Of these, Jio, which is one of India’s largest telecom operators has already installed telecom towers at Chhoti Lincholi, Lincholi and Rudrapoint. It plans to install two more telecom towers on this route soon.

Despite concerns over economic slowdown and inflation, the global smartwatch market recorded 13% more shipments compared to the same period last year. Apple, Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi, Garmin, and Amazfit dominated the market, according to the Counterpoint Research’s recently published Global Smartwatch Model Tracker.

Apple took the first place with a solid lead and increased 14% YoY in Q1 2022. Some shipments carried over to Q1 2022 due to a month late launch of Apple Watch 7, which helped continue the strength of the brand.

Samsung solidified second place with 46% YoY increase in shipments, followed by Huawei and Xiaomi. Thanks to the popularity of Galaxy Watch 4 series which helped Samsung grew significantly in the APAC region.

Huawei remained flat YoY in terms of shipments, while Xiaomi recorded its first top four position with 69% YoY growth. Due to the weak position in the international market caused by GMS restrictions, the proportion of the Chinese market in the Huawei’s total shipments is gradually increasing.

With 69% YoY growth, Xiaomi is breaking its shipment record every quarter as it rapidly penetrates globally. A large proportion of its sales come from the low-end segment under $100.

Garmin and Amazfit are other top performers. Garmin ranked fifth in terms of shipments, but ranked in third in terms of revenues thanks to its higher ASP. Garmin occupies the majority portion in the premium segment over $500.

Amazfit maintained its market share by occupying sixth place thanks to the GTR 3 and GTS 3 series that launched in the fourth quarter of 2021. In the meantime, it has been working to expand outside of China and has had some success increasing its presence in Europe.

Region wise, only Europe recorded flat growth, while other grew YoY. Other major brands such as Garmin and Fitbit performed weakly in the European market as compared to Apple and Samsung. These two brands continued to grow year-over-year, during this period.

Experts are of the view that impact of the war between Russia and Ukraine will become more serious in Q2.

With 24% YoY in fourth quarter of the 2021, smartwatch market recorded highest ever quarterly shipments. It came as a breather for the market as the global smartwatch market shipments hardly grew in 2020 due to COVID-19. The fourth quarter alone saw shipments of more than 40 million units, the highest quarterly shipments ever.

Samsung, Amazfit and Garmin recorded a higher growth than the market average, although Apple remained the undisputed leader. The Indian market quadrupled YoY thanks to the notable growth of local brands such as Noise.

How to use the shared stories feature on Snapchat

With all the social platforms bringing various upgrades, Snapchat also decided to join the queue. So, it has also added a new feature to its already long feature list available on the platform. The new feature is named “Shared Stories”, which is also an iteration of the already available “Custom Stories” ability.

With the new feature, Snapchat is giving the snap chatters a bigger platform to connect and share all the fun with the maximum crowd. Using this new feature, the users can not only invite their friends but also connect with their other friends to join the story, creating maximum engagement on that post. Here’s a detailed view of what the feature offers:

Snapchat shared stories: Invite the friends of your friends

Snapchat is set to bring the “Shared Stories”, a feature that redesigns the way how users collaborate and share memories. Snapchat already had “Custom Stories” that work in the same way, but with a very limited range. Custom Stories allows the creator to make a story and then add a selected list of friends to view and contribute. However, with the “Shared Stories,” the users can add their friends and then those friends can add their friends and make it a whole party.

As snap also says,  “for the whole soccer team, camp squad, or group of coworkers to get in on the fun,” the feature is super fun. Also, one thing that is the same with this also is that like every other Snap, this one too will stay for 24 hours and then disappear.

How to start with the get started with Snapchat shared stories

You can start a Shared Story by heading to your profile, tapping the new story option and then selecting “Shared Story.” As with all stories sent on Snapchat, Snaps sent to a Shared Story are automatically deleted after 24 hours. However, unlike regular friend Stories and Groups, there isn’t a chat component for Shared Stories. Snapchat says content is moderated using a combination of automatic language detection and community review tools. In addition, the app will notify users if they’ve joined a Shared Story with someone they have blocked. Snapchat says this will allow users to remain in control of who they share content with on the app.

Snapchat reveals that this feature lets users turn shared moments into shared memories. Similar to the custom stories, where it allows you to invite your friends to a story, this feature goes ahead and lets your friends as well invite their other friends to contribute and share their memories to a story.

“Now, with our new and improved Shared Stories, Snapchatters who’ve been added to the group can add their friends as well, making it easier for the whole soccer team, camp squad, or group of new coworkers to get in on the fun,” said the company in its blog post.

In case you have joined a Shared Story with someone who you have blocked on Snapchat, then Snapchat will notify you about it, and so if you want to leave the Shared Story, you can easily do it.

“We also notify Snapchatters if they have joined a Shared Story with someone they have blocked. This gives Snapchatters the opportunity to leave the Shared Story, and ensures Snapchatters are always in complete control over who they share content with on our platform,” the blog post continued.

How to use the Snapchat Shared Stories feature

1. Open Snapchat and click on the Profile icon on the top left.

2. Click on the “+New Story” option next to the My Stories header.

3. Select Shared Stories from the list of options.
