Android users can rejoice as the upcoming models will be getting their own version Apple‘s MagSafe charging technology, which will provide a major boost to the charging of the smartphones as many users constantly complain about it.

The Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) recently announced the Qi2 standard as a successor to the Qi technology, which had recently become the single unified wireless charging standard as of late.

Highlights

Android smartphones will now be getting their own variants of the MagSafe charging technology, which belongs to Apple, as the news was recently confirmed.
Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) announced some time back that Qi charging technology will be getting a follow-up option in the form of Qi2.
WPC Executive Director Paul Struhsaker has clarified that since everyone wants energy and efficiency in equal measure, Qi2 will come with a perfect alignment that will provide of both of them.

Android Smartphones Soon to Get their Own Version of Apple MagSafe Charging Option

The Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) recently held an event where it announced the Qi2 standard for fireless devices as the proverbial follow-up to Qi, which in itself is the single unified wireless charging standard.

Apple is one of the prominent members of WPC that provided the basis for the brand new Qi2 standard that builds on its MagSafe charging technology, which it hopes will directly prove beneficial to the Android ecosystem.

WPC is confident that Qi2 will not only be a worthy successor to Qi but also prove to be a new version that matches Apple’s MagSafe charging technology, which is saying something as considering the popularity of Apple’s charging variants.

Qi2 is set to come with a new Magnetic Power Profile that will align the charger with the device that will provide a major boost to energy and efficiency in equal measure so that manufacturers too will be able to crank up their charging speeds, although WPC has confirmed that Android devices will be supported by a 15 watt limit, just like MagSafe.

“Energy efficiency and sustainability are on everyone’s minds these days,” says WPC executive director Paul Struhsaker. “Qi2’s perfect alignment improves energy efficiency by reducing the energy loss that can happen when the phone or the charger is not aligned. Just as important, Qi2 will greatly reduce the landfill waste associated with wired charger replacement due to plugs breaking and the stress placed on cords from daily connecting and disconnecting.”

Although not confirmed, WPC hopes that the very first devices equipped with Qi2 wireless charging support will be available around 2023 holiday season, although currently it appears to be in testing phase, but if all goes out well, it may be available around Christmas 2023.

Apple is working on a low-cost AirPods mode, which it has termed AirPods Lite where it hopes to add another variant to the not-so expensive Apple earbuds, which would be a tough task as wearable audio devices are showing a decline in popularity in 2023.

The company hopes to introduce a mid-range variant that can easily compete with other variants of its range, while Apple aims to put it in the 2nd generation AirPods that could see a dip on price, which would be around $99.

Reports also show a sign of decreasing demand for Apple’s wearable audio accessories in 2023.

Apple May Soon Launch AirPods Lite, Cheaper Version of AirPods

Apple has created numerous milestones in the past few years that are extremely difficult to surpass, whether it is smartphones, laptops, tablets, or wearable accessories, which is why people don’t think twice before straightaway going for an Apple product as soon as it comes out in the market.

Speaking of AirPods, Apple seems to be currently working on a new set of cheaper models called AirPods Lite that will be in the mid-range category that will be available at an affordable price where they can compete with other mid-range earbuds in the market, while several analysts have suggested that its price could be lower than $129 (approx. Rs.10,700) for which the 2^nd generation AirPods currently retails.

Another theory is that AirPods Lite could slot in above the ageing 2^nd generation AirPods whose price could drop even further at $99 (approx. Rs.8,200) in case the AirPods are launched today, although the launch date, features, and specifications haven’t been revealed as yet.

Telecom Trends Expected in 2023 – Jio and Airtel 5G Plans, BSNL 4G and More

Team My Mobile

January 6, 2023

The Indian telecom sector has been going through one of its most exciting phases at the moment. On one hand, we are witnessing an aggressive countrywide 5G rollout with Airtel and Jio leading the way, and on the other hand, smartphone manufacturers are lining up compatible devices in every price segment to ensure no one is left out.

Telecom trends expected in 2023 are going to be equally interesting. While Airtel and Jio with their 5G plans will make headlines, it will also be the year when BSNL steps into the 4G network and Vi takes the final call on when it wants to join the 5G drive.

Here we are discussing every such telecom trends expected in 2023 – Jio and Airtel 5G Plans, BSNL 4G and More. So, without further delay, let’s begin.

Jio and Airtel 5G Plans

Jio and Airtel have started rolling out 5G network connectivity across India starting with Tier 1 cities such as Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and Chennai among others.

The telecom companies are planning on moving to Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities soon. However, the networks are yet to announce the 5G plans for any particular region.

In 2023, it is anticipated that both service providers will finally announce their 5G data plans with pack details.

Market speculations suggest that plans for the 5G network will be similar to the plans of current 4G networks.

As both brands are looking forward to increasing their 5G customer base in the coming days, increasing the tariff for data plans so early in the rollout process can be disadvantageous.

Vi 5G Launch

The delay in Vi joining the 5G bandwagon is understandable if you have been paying attention to the company’s finances.

It is widely expected that the telecom will finally announce the launch of its 5G networks soon in 2023.

Vodafone Idea MD and CEO Ravinder Takkar, while speaking to the media about this said, “Our network is very much 5G-ready. When the 5G auction takes place, we will be able to launch 5G. However, there is a need to develop India’s 5G use cases. India is unique and some global use cases might not be relevant.”

BSNL 4G Rollout

According to some recent media reports, BSNL is all set to roll out the 4G network to its customers as early as January 2023.

The company received 4G trails permission some time back and speculations around its eventual availability have been making news since then. Infrastructure has already been upgraded in the metro cities for a possible rollout.

While we are waiting for BSNL 4G, the Cabinet Minister of Communication Ashwini Vaishnav also recently confirmed that BSNL will also foray into 5G networks by August 2023. Whether both 4G and 5G deployments happen simultaneously or in segments is something yet to be confirmed.

Increase in 5G Data Consumption

If it wasn’t obvious, the telecom sector in 2023 will be all about the 5G network. One of the biggest trends that the industry is hoping to cash on is the increase in 5G data consumption across the country.

With customers getting upgraded speed and latency, most industry experts have speculated more data per second compared to 4G. This will also push telecoms to be prepared to offer more data benefits with 5G plans to meet the increase in demand.

Windows 11 in 2023 — Here’s What to Expect

Team My Mobile

January 5, 2023

Windows 11 released constant updates throughout 2022 that introduced new features and improvements to ensure the operating system remains on top of its game.

In its recent version 22H2 update, Windows 11 bought some productivity features, design-related updates, and the Taskbar functionality that was missing from the first version 2021 release. However, many users were unhappy with issues such as the need to have an online account on both Pro and Home, missing updates for lingering legacy UIs and the inconsistent dark mode.

Keeping all these concerns in mind, we have prepared a quick brief on Windows 11 in 2023 – here’s what to expect.

So, here’s what to expect from Windows 11 in 2023 –

No Annual Updates

First things first, it appears Microsoft is moving away from big-scale annual updates. With Windows 11 version 22H2, the tech giant started a new engineering endeavour called “Moments” with a goal to offer ‘continuous innovation’ to users for the entire lifespan of Windows 11.

If sibling website blog Windows Central is to believe, “Instead of waiting for the annual Windows feature update in the fall, Microsoft is now planning to ship new features every few months in a series of feature drops, the first of which already shipped in October and included tabs in File Explorer.”

Moments 2

“Moments 2” – the next Windows 11 update is expected somewhere around February or March 2023. There have been some rumours doing rounds in the online tech community although no official word from Microsoft has come out yet.

During a video discussion between Zac Bowden and Daniel Rubino from Windows Central in April 2022, some reveals about the 23H2 would feature were hinted. However, we now know that Microsoft is not planning the 23H2 update anymore and hence, every speculated feature from that update could be included in Moments 2 or the latest releases throughout the year.

Some of the features expected with Moments 2 include Tablet-mode Taskbar, System Tray updates, More search bar options, Energy recommendations in Settings, Search in Task Manager, Full-screen widgets panel, Studio Effects in Quick Settings and Voice Access enhancements among others.

Windows 11 in 2023 – Expected Features

Many tech enthusiasts suggest that Windows 11 is going to get a lot more touch-friendly than it is right now. It was also speculated that Mircosoft will finally introduce Android App features to Windows 11, a tie-up that is most likely to continue in 2023.

Apart from these, users with foldable devices can expect Windows 11 to have better optimisation functionalities this year.

Users can also expect to have more changes introduced to the Windows Search UI along with new updates to some in-box apps. Furthermore, Microsoft’s long plan of getting the Outlook web client in place of Windows Mail & Calendar apps is still in the working stage and we could finally see it transpire in 2023.

One of the common complaints after the 22H2 update was missing updates for lingering legacy UIs. In 2023, we are expecting regular updating for legacy interfaces with contemporary designs that remain consistent with Windows 11.

Some Windows 8 and Windows 7 interfaces like the USB Autoplay interface, Windows Firewall popups, recovery and device rename dialogs, are finally expected to be updated in 2023.
