How fond are you of Apple devices? Do you like their smartphones or laptops more? Do you love their AirPods or Beat headphones more?

Brief Summary

There are innumerable tech giants across the world that have reached a size and stature that is difficult to match for upcoming shots with Apple and Samsung leading the fray among others, which is a huge achievement as sustaining yourself for so long is no easy task.

Apple has achieved benchmarks of such level that very few can match up to its stature, which is why it can expand its wings even further in the tech industry and aim for higher skies.

But even in the tech world, sky is the limit and there are so many other accomplishments lying in wait that would be difficult even for Apple to complete. However, since India is one of the biggest markets for all tech giants across the globe, even Apple attempts to cater to the Indian audience in more ways than one at regular intervals.

The latest buzz doing the rounds is that Apple Inc. has instructed its suppliers to shift AirPods and Beats Production to India because Foxconn, Apple iPhone assembler, is all set to manufacture Beats headphones in the land of tropics.

Then, it aims to move even further with the production of AirPods and wants to capitalize on the billion plus population of India to cater to the tastes and needs of its people of different ethnic groups.

This will be a huge achievement for the central government as it will help encouraging local manufacturing, which has been encouraged by the Modi government since they came to power in 2014.

Apple will collaborate with Luxshare Precision Industry, which is a Chinese supplier to the company, and take its help in manufacturing AirPods in India. However, at the moment, Luxshare is preoccupied with on its Vietnames AirPod operations, which will take some time to begin production of the pods, thereby starting out slow in comparison to its rivals.

Apple has been consistently shifting certain areas of iPhone production away from China to India, along with other countries, beginning with the manufacturing of iPhone 13 models in the early part of 2022, and also hopes to begin iPad tablets in India as well.

Conclusion

It remains to be seen as to how successful this endeavour will be as Luxshare does not seem to be in a position to begin production any time soon but it goes without saying that, Apple AirPods and Beats Headphones will bring in a revolutionary change in terms of manufacturing devices in India.

Are you fond of music? What are your favourite brand of earbuds? Would you like to own the best model in town?

In Brief

No matter how old you become, there are many people that don’t lose the rebellious streak they have since childhood and they show it through their actions. Rebellious doesn’t meant to oppose anything or everyone just for the sake of it but to do what you feel like, as long as it is within ethical grounds, without feeling embarrassed.

We all have loved video games since childhood and why not? When you have the likes of Super Mario, Dangerous Dave, Contra, Swat Kats, Aladdin, and their ilk to look forward to, nobody can be safe from the spell cast by such games.

We all need to lead a stress free lifestyle to keep our physical and mental health intact, which, sadly, not many people take seriously and it has become a huge problem for many of them in both personal and professional life due to which they’re not able to handel the pressure that ultimately takes a toll on their health.

One of the best remedies for stress, since times of yore, is listening to music in order to keep your mind free of distress, which has been proven true many times. Music has different forms and facets that appeal to each person as to what kind of music they prefer to hear.

In this day and age, we have mobile games galore although those who grew up in the 90s and 2000s would never lose that rebellious streak they had and continue to play games on their PlayStations without any embarrassment of being mocked or ridiculed by the millennials.

With technological advancements taking place every decade or so, now we can even get earbuds that can enhance our gaming experience to a whole new level, which is why we are going to talk about a new model of earbuds that have just come out in the market.

Wings is one of the most prominent audio accessories we have in existence that has just come out with the brand new Phantom 550 Gaming TWS Earbuds in India, which has been receiving good reviews as of late especially among gaming aficionados.

My Opinion

To put it simply, Wings Phantom 550 has joined the long list of TWS Earbuds from various brands, which is on its way to join the illustrious list of its predecessors, thereby adding another feather to the already overcrowded cap of Wings.

The earbuds come in a purple and squared box, which is small as a fist but they look quite exquisite even in the design cover. The purple box has ‘WINGS PHANTOM 550 GAMING EARBUDS’ at the top with the buds in the case while the Wings logo is on the top right hand corner.

Below the logo, you will the features listed along with their symbols that users can avail upon trying it out. The box is light to hold in one hand that gives a strange feeling that cannot be put into words.

Upon opening it, you find a small cover in which the buds case is kept and is black in colour with ‘WINGS’ engraved in the front while the logo is right beneath it, which I opened and found the earbuds placed inside their respective slots.

The charging slot is right at the back that some might find difficulty locating initially because normally people expect its slot to be on the left or right side of the device but in this case, it is quite different.

The case is extremely light to hold while he buds fit snugly into the ear without any issue after a few attempts as they were slipping off in the first few tries. The inner box in which the earbuds has to be removed carefully, which I was instructed to do.

Once removed, I reached the bottom of the box in which the charger pin, USB Cable, and four spare earbuds were kept, which were black in colour and last, but not the least, was the user/safety manual with specific instructions on how to operate the device.

Features & Specifications of Wings Phantom 550 Gaming Earbuds

While its features have been receiving good reviews, the one that most people can’t stop talking about is the Bluetooth V5.3 chip, which is said to be the fastest in terms of speed, with the help of which your device can pair up with it up to a distance of 15 metres.

Once you enable the game mode, you get an ultra-low latency mode of up to 50m for lag free gaming audio that switches in 2 seconds while the sound quality is quite topnotch as well, and why not?

With True Bole BASS Technology that powers large 13mm premium graphene drivers with deep bass, fantastic vocals, and clear highs, while the EQ modes are customized for bass and vocals to provide a balanced sound, which will make watching games, movies, and sitcoms a beautiful experience.

Upon fully charging, Wings Phantom 550 Earbuds provide full 10 hours of playback while with the case you get an additional 35 hours. It comes with an Environmental Noise Cancellation (ENC) Mic that is quite good, while the layout has all the necessary things; charging case, Type-C port, case lights, microphone, and touch sensors.

Gamers can enjoy 45 hours of playtime along with Google & Siri Assistant Support for touch controls, IPX5 Rating, which implies that it is invulnerable to sweat and water, which means you can wear it in heavy rain or while sweating it out profusely in the gym.

It also comes with a silicone ear tips that is quite skin friendly while the buds are made from lightweight ABS plastic, etc.

While charging the earbuds, you need to peel of the protective film on their charging points and place them inside the charging case, so that the lights are turned on, which indicates that the buds are being charged and once done, the lights will go off automatically.

Sometimes, the buds require resetting because sometimes when you see ‘Phantom 550’ in your Bluetooth device menu on your smartphone or hear music only through one of the buds, it indicates that both are not auto paired with one another.

First of all, disconnect them and remove ‘Phantom 550’ from the list of paired devices and then tap the sensor on either of the buds 5 times so as to quickly clear the pairing data, so that the LED on both buds will turn ON and then off within 3 seconds.

Put them back in the charging case so that ‘Phantom 550’ is ready for use to automatically turn back on and pair again. Reset is complete and now you can hear music through both earbuds.

Safety Precautions

Always keep the earbuds dry, and never put them in humid conditions or hot places to avoid short circuit
Never expose the buds in the hot peak sun or heat for extended periods of time as it can damage the battery
Never put the buds in cold places to keep the PCB board intact
Never dismantle the product as it is unsafe for use for non-professionals
Never you chemical products, oily liquids, or detergents to clean the earbuds
Never scratch the surface with sharp instruments as it can damage the case
Never charge the buds for more than 5 hours as it can harm battery life

Try to avoid hearing music at maximum, ear-piercing volume for longer periods as it can damage your eardrums and your hearing altogether.

Conclusion

All in all, a device well worth your time and money so as to give you a whole new experience while watching movies, playing games, and other things but, at the same time, the safety precautions too have to be followed.

My overall rating for Wings Phantom 550 is 4 out of 5 stars.

Unveiling all about digital transformation with Sujit Patel, MD, SCS Tech

In conversation with Sujit Patel, a prominent entrepreneur and industrialist, who is the Managing Director of SCS Tech , a technology, design, and digital transformation powerhouse with presence in India, Singapore, and Dubai. It is a growing organization with expertise in Digital Transformation encompassing people, process and products. The products and services are important spheres of digital space like IT infrastructure, software solutions, applications, cyber security, and data analytics.

Brief about SCS Tech. In which domain does your company work?

Since the inception of SCS, the vision is to make it the industry benchmark for value creation for clients. Our expertise in Digital Transformation encompasses people, process and products to collaborate with clients to deliver customer-centric, innovation-driven and state-of-the-art solutions. SCS integrates the real and the digital world adding value to the entire value chain from design to implementation, optimized with continuous data analytics.
We have worked in major sectors like Education, Agriculture, Healthcare, Finance, Homeland Security, Urban Development, and Oil & Gas and we are looking to expand our solutions more into this field.

In which cities you are currently operating?

The company is operational in multiple cities pan India. To name a few, some of our ongoing projects are in Mumbai, Kolkata, Bangalore & Delhi.

Tell us, something about the importance of cyber security in India and the world?

India is one of the most cyber-attacked countries in the world. Cyber-attacks and threats violate sensitive data and lead to substantial financial losses for the business. Thus, companies and organizations of all sizes and across all sectors are now actively investing in strengthening their cybersecurity infrastructure.
Cybersecurity aims to protect and safeguard sensitive business data, intellectual property, personally identifiable information (PII), protected health information (PHI), and governmental & industry information systems from cyber-attacks and threats. Thanks to the ever-increasing global connectivity and rising usage of cloud services and IoT devices, cyber crimes have skyrocketed massively over the past decade. Businesses can no longer rely on simplistic firewalls and antivirus software to protect their data – they must create a robust cybersecurity ecosystem.

Do you think it is a need of the hour to have strong data privacy laws in India just like GDPA in Europe?

With the current framework of rules and regulations in India, preventing the abuse of digital privacy is almost utopian. The laws like Information Technology Act of 2000, IPC 1860, IT (Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or Information) Rules, 2011, etc. are non-exhaustive, non-stringent, and are very generalized to govern the subject matter of digital security in India and further these legislations have not covered the suitable provisions to govern the aspect of information and data privacy. Moreover, the digital economy in India is anticipated to reach a valuation of $1 trillion dollars by the year 2025 so the risk occurrence level anticipated is high. Certainly, a paradigm shift is needed in data laws that can direct the legal framework towards attaining an exhaustive set of procedural compliance which is technically efficient, economically sound, legally justifiable, and ethically sustainable.

How are cities will be smart?

A city is considered to be “smart” when it can collect and analyze mass quantities of data from a wide variety of industries, from urban planning to garbage collection. In a smart city, a complex network of interconnected sensors, devices, and software must be built and maintained. This should allow the city to become a more sustainable and efficient environment for its residents.

Do you think progress on smart cities is on right track?

COVID-19 has impacted practically every country on the planet, creating major economic and healthcare problems. However, in the months after the lockout, the ambition to construct 100 smart cities in India has witnessed a boost, with money almost doubling in use. One of the most pressing issues confronting smart cities is how to fund them. Smart city infrastructure necessitates a significant financial commitment. For the effective implementation of India’s smart city initiative, the government is focusing on increasing Public-Private Partnerships (PPP)

Smart homes will be the next big thing in real estate.

Smart Homes have sparked a lot of interest. And it’s safe to assume that they’re the next big thing in real estate. The world’s largest technical businesses are now openly competing for a piece of the smart home market. It’ll only be a matter of time before we’re surrounded by mind-blowing technology and innovation in the smart home space.

How do cities become safe if they are converted into smart cities?

Smart Cities imply the implementation of digital technology to improve the quality of life of a city’s inhabitants. The purpose of these cities is to solve some of the problems that are expected to emerge in the cities of the future, fostering a better and more sustainable resource management, among other advantages. However, it will be vital to take smart security measures to guarantee that these improvements are not compromised or threatened. All actors in a smart city environment – government bodies, municipal leaders, local businesses, citizens and visitors – must practise good cybersecurity hygiene. Good authentication policies, such as frequent and regular changing of passwords, multi-factor authentication and increased adoption of biometrics, are essential. There has to be a personal commitment made by anyone accessing smart cities’ digital services, but automated policies should be mandated and installed by governments.
