The Karnataka Digital Economy Mission (KDEM), as part of its Spoke-shore strategy to attract companies to set up operations in cities ‘Beyond Bengaluru’, fuelled the launch of IBM’s Client Innovation Centre (CIC) in Mysuru today.

The CIC initiative aims at supporting the rapid, high-tech driven economic growth in tier 2 and 3 regions while providing comprehensive hybrid cloud and AI technology consulting capabilities. The CIC specializes in design, software engineering and analytics.

Dr Ashwath Narayana, Minister for Higher Education; IT & BT, Science & Technology; Skill Development, Entrepreneurship & Livelihood said, “I applaud KDEM for making the Spoke-shore strategy a reality in India and wholeheartedly welcome IBM’s CIC to Mysuru. It is encouraging to see that the industry is recognising places such as Mysuru, thereby echoing our vision of Beyond Bengaluru. We are confident that this partnership will propel Karnataka to become a frontrunner for digital services and technologies world over.”

B.V. Naidu, Chairman, Karnataka Digital Economy Mission said, “The launch of the Client Innovation Centre at Mysuru resonates with KDEM’s Spoke-shore initiative of attracting at least 100 GCCs by 2025. The augmented pace at which centres like Mysuru are transforming digitally, we believe that such concerted efforts as IBM’s CIC is key to amplifying Karnataka’s IT-ecosystem, especially in centres beyond Bengaluru.”

Amit Sharma, Managing Partner, Worldwide Global Delivery, IBM said, “The IBM CIC will play a key role in the digital transformation of the IT-ecosystem throughout the city and create new employment opportunities to foster the next wave of technology innovation. IBM CIC is looking to hire over 10,000 staff this quarter globally. This builds on double-digit hiring growth in its Global Delivery Centers already this year. This continued investment in talent will expand the company’s skillsets in areas such as AI, intelligent workflows, application modernization and management, and hybrid cloud.”

As an entrepreneurial start-up within IBM Consulting, the CIC will specialise in design, software engineering and analytics while supporting clients in the transformation of their business by utilizing delivery capabilities throughout the entire system development life cycle, from design to architecture to creation. New skills will serve to open-up new business streams and strengthen the IT industry ecosystem in the region through close collaboration with clients and partners including cloud solution and service providers.

Dr E.V. Ramana Reddy, Additional Chief Secretary- Department of Electronics, IT-BT & S&T said, “KDEM has paved way for a new wave of digital transformation in Karnataka, especially in tier 2 and 3 centres. Initiatives such as CIC prove that a Government-Industry synergy can build a robust digital infrastructure, thereby significantly contributing to the nation’s economy and progress.”

Given that 30% of India’s GDP is driven by the digital economy, KDEM’s Spoke-shore will converge on setting aspirational goals for GCCs and creating employment opportunities for 10,00,000 (direct and indirect) candidates by 2026. The Beyond Bengaluru initiative aims to attract and host 5000 IT companies and start-ups by 2026 in the Mysuru, Hubbali and Mangaluru clusters.

Sanjeev Gupta, MD & CEO, Lahari said, “Spoke-shore strategy has alleviated several GCC companies to create offshore hubs in Bengaluru. The question is what next from here, spoke-shore is next. We are extremely happy that IBM’s CIC is one such milestone towards taking the Spoke-shore strategy a reality and building a formidable ecosystem that goes beyond the realms of Bengaluru and focuses on a well-rounded development of Karnataka, especially its promising Tier 2 and 3 markets.”

Oppo A12 Smartphone Review – A Budget Offering with Prolong Battery Life

By

The world of technology is one of the major forces which is helping to overcome the shortcomings caused by the pandemic and mobile technology is leading from the front and in India, the competition in the smartphone market though for a short time was halted but now it is on track and the major players are launching their products. Oppo being one of the top players has also joined the race and has launched its latest smartphone in one of the most competitive price sections which is the budget range section. The recent launch goes by the name of Oppo A12 mobile phone which we will be reviewing to find out whether it can be a competition in the budget range section or not.

Oppo A12 Review – Design

The new Oppo A12 Smartphone holds quite a bold look and has the essence of aesthetic appeal which is prompted by the rear design on the phone which is diamond cut edge shapes or you can call them octagonal shapes. The phone feels very comfortable in the hand as it is not heavy and the sharp edges of the phone allow the easy grip and a long operating period. At the rear side of the phone, one can sport horizontally placed dual rear camera sensors within a frame and a fingerprint sensor.

 

The fingerprint sensor when tested worked very accurately and unlocked the phone within seconds.  The front fascia of the phone is dominated by a large screen with a dewdrop notch consisting of the selfie camera sensor. The display has very sleek bezels running around the corner making more space for the screen. The phone has a face unlock feature as well which when tested stood out to be working very nicely and accurately in well lighting conditions.

The top side of the phone is blank whereas at the bottom lies a 3.5mm headphone jack, micro-USB port, and a speaker grille. On the right side phone lies the power button and towards the left side of the phone lies the volume rockers and dual SIM tray with an extra slot for a microSD card.

The absence of a Type-C port somehow puts the phone in a disadvantageous situation when it comes to competition as we have seen that most companies now even in the budget range are opting for a Type-C port.

Display Review

Oppo A12 comes with an impressive 6.22 inches screen with an aspect ratio of 19:9. The screen size allows a comfortable experience when you are watching any videos or playing games or handling any word file. The aspect ratio of the phone provides a wide viewing angle which becomes very handy when you are playing games. The screen type is IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen with 16M colors. The colors reproduced are very punchy and vibrant plus the brightness level is also very good as you can see the screen even under bright daylight by adjusting the screen brightness. The screen is protected by Corning Glass 3.

Platform & Processor

The new Oppo A12 Mobile is running on ColorOs 6.1 on top of Android 9.0 Pie. The processor powering the new Oppo A12 is MediaTek MT6765 Helio P35 with octa cores where four cores are clocked at 2.35 GHz Cortex-A53 and the rest four are clocked at 1.8 GHz Cortex-A53. When tested the processor stood out to be very efficient and handled all the tasks without any glitch. Multi-tasking was very smooth and we faced no issue while switching between apps.

The gaming experience was also very good as the phone has GPU PowerVR GE8320 which gives you high-resolution quality while playing games. The games of high graphics requirements also ran very nicely with little degradation in the quality.  To assist the processor there is 4GB of RAM which keeps the functioning of the phone very smooth. The internal storage on the phone is 64GB which can be further expanded with the help of a microSD card.

Oppo A12 Camera – Review

Oppo has always been termed as a camera-centric phone and the company manages to surprise its users with its ability to capture images of high quality. The cameras of the new Oppo A12 when tested stood out to be very amazing as the images captured by the new Oppo A12 maintained a very good level of color preservation and detailing.

The phone has dual rear camera sensors where the primary sensor is 13MP with an aperture of f/2.2 and the secondary sensor is 2MP which is a depth sensor with an aperture of f/2.4. The images captured by the rear sensor were so good with a very good level of contrast and color exposure with fine details. The daylight shots were very impressive as we loved the clarity with which the camera managed to capture the images. The images taken at night were also very good with the minimum level of graining when. The noise and graining effect was noticed when we increased the resolution at night to capture images.

The new Oppo A12 possesses a selfie camera of 5MP with an aperture of f/2.0. The selfies captured were good and in budget range one of the best selfies which you can get. The clarity of the selfie lens is very good and it maintains a sense of reality by not adding extra effects or over softening. The videos can be recorded at 1080p@30fps by the rear camera sensor. The quality of the video captured was also good but lacks the stability focus.

Review on Oppo A12 Battery

The new Oppo A12 possesses a battery of 4,230mAh which has the capability to power the phone throughout the day. We tested how long the battery can last and found out that with a single full charge the phone can last a whole day with moderate hours of gaming and watching movies. The phone possesses a micro-USB port which automatically denotes that the charging speed is normal.  The presence of a Type-C port would have made the phone a top competitor in every segment but to be true the lack of Type-C adds a heavy disadvantage to the phone.

Conclusion

Oppo A12 Smartphone reminds me of the diamond cut design which Realme phones have to offer. The smartphone turns out to be your daily driver with decent and required specifications such as a huge battery. The rear camera suffices your daily needs with nice outputs whereas the selfie lens is not up to the task but manages. The octa-core MediaTek processor handles tasks easily. Overall, starting at Rs 9,990 for the 3GB/32GB, Oppo A12 is a good ask and justifies its price tag.

iQOO Z5 Review: Good at everything and superb in gaming

Although it’s bullish about its prospects to be a leader in the Rs 20K-30K price segment, iQOO is somewhat choosy with its launches in India. First, it was iQOO 7 series, then came iQOO Z3, and now it’s iQOO Z5. This time, it’s said to be very significant in terms of pricing – while the flagship iQOO 7 series (launched in April) sits at the upper limit, iQOO Z3 (unveiled in June) comes at the lower end of the price bracket. The all-new iQOO Z5 fits nicely between the two.

The recently-introduced iQOO Z5 smartphone costs Rs 23,990 for the 8GB+128GB variant, whereas its 12GB+256GB model is priced at Rs 26,990. The phone comes in two colour options – Arctic Dawn and Mystic Space – and is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G SoC, besides sporting a triple camera set-up and a massive battery that is enough for a day to keep you going. We had the upper variant in Arctic Dawn colour for review and here’s what we think about it.

Design

The all-new iQOO Z5 sports a simple and sober design, and is very much reminiscent of the iQOO 7. Made up of a polycarbonate rear panel, it has a 3D curved back with a frosted texture and a matte finish, which is fingerprint-resistant. The smartphone features a punch-hole cut out, housing the front camera, at the top of the screen. There’s a slightly protruded rectangular camera module and iQOO branding underneath on the back panel.

You get a headphone jack on the top, whereas the bottom of the device houses a SIM tray, a USB Type-C port and a speaker grille. While the left side of the smartphone is plain, on the right you get volume buttons and a power button that doubles up as a fingerprint sensor. These buttons are very much accessible with your thumb and you do not need to shuffle your fingers to hold this phone in your palm. It will not slip out of your hand.

The smartphone has a sleek frame that gels well with the frosted matte finish, which gives it a very decent look, notwithstanding the plastic body, which thankfully makes it lightweight too. The Arctic Dawn colour variant particularly looks so beautiful that you would like to avoid putting a case on this.

Display

The iQOO Z5 ships with a 6.67-inch FHD+ IPS LCD display, skipping the superior AMOLED trend in the given price range. There are thin bezels around with exception at the chin, although it doesn’t look bad. Thankfully, the display has a high 120Hz refresh rate and a 240Hz touch sampling rate. Besides, it comes with Widevine L1 certification for streaming HD content on OTT platforms as well as HDR10 support.

The display is bright and well-tuned even under direct sunlight. What’s more, you also get Eye Protection with the TuV Rheinland certification. There are variable refresh rate modes that you can set to 60Hz, 90Hz or 120HZ, or use a smart auto-switch option that will dynamically change refresh rate based on your usage. Despite lacking the high contrast look, there’s plenty to love about this display, which is good enough to enjoy gaming, binge watching, browsing social media, etc.

Platform

The smartphone is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G SoC. Although it’s not a flagship chipset, it’s fairly best in the segment. The one that I reviewed had 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. The smartphone will not disappoint you in terms of performance, as it flies through day-to-day tasks, multiple apps as well as graphic-intensive games. The chipset managed a single-core score of 807 points and a multi-core score of 3009 points in our Geekbench 5 test.

Although I’m not much into it, gaming is so smooth that you’ll hardly experience any hiccups on this phone. The handset, however, gets somewhat warm during extended sessions, but not hot enough to cause any issue. The iQOO Z5 also comes with Extended RAM 2.0 that allows you to use 4GB of the storage as RAM, which is like cherry on the cake, to further help performance. The smartphone also features a liquid cooling system that is said to reduce the surface temperature of the mobile phone by about 3°C and the CPU junction temperature by about 12°C for CPU-intensive games.

In terms of software, the device runs Android 11-based Funtouch OS 12, which comes with a lot of customisations along with a dedicated game bar (Game Space) that can be accessed by swiping right during a game. Besides, it brings several modes for gaming, including a high-performance mode, battery saving mode, and more. While it’s a very refined software offering a neat interface and sober menu layouts, it also comes preloaded with bloatware – a few iQOO apps and some third-party apps that can be uninstalled. The software experience on this phone was amazingly good though.

Cameras

The all-new iQOO smartphone houses a triple-camera setup on the back with a 64MP, f/1.8 aperture primary sensor, an 8MP, f/2.2 ultrawide shooter and a 2MP macro lens. On the front, you get a 16MP camera for video calls and selfies. While the main camera can capture 4K and 1080p video at 60fps, the front camera is limited to 1080p recording at 30fps.

Talking about their performance, you get good photos in daylight with plenty of detail and vivid colours, however it’s not so in the lowlight conditions. Capturing pictures is also fairly quick. Even though the camera system doesn’t offer OIS (optical image stabilisation), the video performance is pretty decent. Macro shots and Night Mode worked better than expected.

The similar story goes on with the 16MP front camera, which does a superb job with selfies retaining good detail and natural looking skin tones. Overall, the smartphone offers a decent camera setup justifying its price.

Battery

The smartphone is backed by a massive 5,000mAh battery and comes with 44W fast charging support with an adapter included in the box. It can deliver over a day of battery life with heavy usage and can easily hit a day and a half with medium usage. The charger can fully power up the device in less than an hour. The battery performance was on par with expectations.

Conclusion

The iQOO Z5 is pretty decent in almost every department. It has got an impressive design, a nice display, a great processor, a wonderful camera setup and a reliable battery backup. It will not disappoint you in terms of performance and is built with gamers in mind, taking into account its many performance enhancements and buttery-smooth 120Hz display. On the flip side, the smartphone has a plastic build, an LCD screen and no storage expansion, but these things are insignificant to be pointed out. Taken as a whole, the all-new iQOO smartphone is good at everything and superb in gaming. The smartphone is a worthy consideration, if you are looking for a value proposition at the given price point.

Clubhouse today announced the addition of 13 new languages to make it more accessible to people who want to see the platform available in their native languages. The 13 languages are – Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, French, German, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Italian, Portuguese (Brazilian) and Spanish.

In addition to the multiple languages, Clubhouse also announced a brand-new app icon, featuring musician, singer and songwriter Anirudh Deshmukh.

In the year or so since Clubhouse hit the App Store, we’ve seen millions of people meet, make friends, have deep talks, share ideas, hang out and even get married on the app. The variety of conversations is increasing each day — from Steve telling people how to load their dishwashers to entire rooms dedicated to debating cousin Greg’s true intentions in Succession. It has honestly amazed us that people in so many countries have managed to come together to do this on an app that only supports English.

Today, all of that is changing, as Clubhouse are rolling out their first wave of local language support. They are starting on Android with thirteen new languages launching immediately — including French, German, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Kannada, Korean, Malayalam, Portuguese (Brazilian), Spanish, Tamil, and Telugu. They will be adding support for iOS and additional languages soon, so that people from Mumbai and Paris to Sao Pãulo and Jakarta can experience Clubhouse in a way that feels a bit more native to them.

Of course, the platform couldn’t take such a momentous step without ushering in a new app icon, as well — Anirudh Deshmukh!

Anirudh is a part of an incredible corner of Clubhouse where hundreds of different languages are spoken. And just like his predecessor Mandiie Martinez, founder of the Chingona AF club, Anirudh is a multi-hyphenate human of many talents. He’s an architect turned singer, songwriter, composer, and more. Based in Mumbai, Anirudh joined Clubhouse at the start of the year and by the spring, had launched his now 72K member club, Anirudh, where he hosts his nightly show ‘Late Night Jam.’ Budding artists from around the world have come to love Anirudh for the authenticity and genuine support he shares, as he encourages them each night to take the stage and share their music, poetry, and life experiences.

He further said that the industry needs to focus on expanding product categories which can serve new markets and new types of consumers. “We are in a world where hardware plays less role in innovation and software plays more significant role. In this scenario, India has the ability to use its strength in electronics design, systems design along with electronics manufacturing,” the minister said while releasing the vision document.

Commenting on collaboration with industry in realizing the vision, Chandrasekhar said, “We will approach the industry as a partner and will fully support it in its efforts to increase the overall competitiveness of the economy.” He quoted the PM’s speech “Yahi Samay Hai”, signifying the narrow window of opportunity available in the electronics sector.

The push for the ESDM sector is preceded by India emerging as the second largest manufacturer of mobile handsets in the world in volume terms, producing 30 crore handsets (2020-21) as against 6 crore handsets in 2014-15. Over 200 units are manufacturing cellular mobile phones and parts in the country which is up from only 2 units in 2014. Production of mobile handsets has grown from INR 19,000 crore in 2014-15 to INR 2,20,000 crore in 2020-21. This has given a significant boost to the sector and to the vision of achieving self-reliance under the Atma Nirbhar Bharat.

MeitY Secretary Ajay Sawhney, briefing the media about the vision document, said that despite the very serious nature of the pandemic and the impact it had across all the industries, India was able to maintain its overall production at $75 billion in 2021 and aims to reach $250 billion in five years, with a CAGR of 27%. “And that is where we need to now revisit and reassess what we are attempting to do, how do we change our course? What do we do differently, to be able to sustain this level of growth,” said Sawhney.

The Vision Document is the first of a two-part series. The second volume will present product-wise strategies and forecasts as part of the campaign to build a US$1 trillion Digital Economy, in pursuit of reaching US$5 trillion GDP.

“We need tactical and strategic steps for each product line to build India’s competitiveness to meet the PM’s vision. Government and industry need to collaborate seamlessly in this effort without wasting a minute. We know the issues and the solutions. It’s time to implement,” said Pankaj Mohindroo, Chairman, ICEA, while making his opening remarks at the event.

The document makes recommendations on short-term (1-4 years) and long-term (5-10 years) strategies to increase electronics exports from India, shift of electronics manufacturing ecosystem investments, and expand exports by increasing competitiveness and scale.

The report critically analyses the impact of tariffs on inputs on India’s competitiveness, and makes specific recommendations in view of the goals set by the Prime Minister. The Vision Document also emphasises on the strategies to build Domestic Champions and the need for linking their products with Lead Firms and GVCs.

It seeks to protect Domestic Champions from unfair trade practices, while requesting policy support in the areas of financing and design development. It identifies key electronic products, namely mobile phones, IT hardware, hearables / wearables etc, which provide the highest potential for exports, in view of massive global demand for these products.

The release ceremony was attended by a wide spectrum of people from the industry and industry associations, MeitY, academia amongst others. A presentation on the vision document was given by Dr Harsh Vardhan, Chairman, IKDHWAJ Advisers LLP. Remarks were also given by Hari Om Rai, CMD, Lava Mobiles, and Virat Bhatia, Chairman FICCI National Committee on ICT and Mobile Manufacturing.
