HMD Global (Nokia Mobiles) Global VP Ajey Mehta has resigned from the company. He was responsible for handling the global business for Nokia and made the announcement on Monday, where he confirmed that he is exiting the company to start his own venture that will focus on the healthcare domain. As per his official statement, “After 16 incredible years, I have decided to bid farewell to my favorite Nokia Brand and explore the exciting world of entrepreneurship. 

From Nokia to Microsoft to HMD, I have worked in multiple roles across the world alongside brilliant people.” They had been a part of the Nokia brand from the time it had complete dominance in the phone industry and also when Nokia started losing its grip in the smartphone market. During this time, companies like Micromax and Samsung gained more market share, leading the market share of Nokia to just 10% by 2012. Since then, the company has been sold two times in 2014 and 2016, finally landing in the hands of Finnish start-up HMD Global.

Ajey was the one who had been overlooking the launch of Nokia’s Android smartphones and built its business in the Indian market. As per him, he wants to integrate the 5G technology in the healthcare sector which is one of the most important needs right now and as an entrepreneur, he will be exploring the Healthcare IoT space. The contribution by Ajey Mehta to Nokia has been tremendous and will surely be missed by Nokia after he exits the company.

Netflix has been trying to expand its reach among the users by integrating with various other services, through where the users will be able to use the streaming services. Now it seems that Netflix has figured out a deal with Indian Telecom giant Jio to bundle its services with Jio’s fixed broadband service and free access to users who opt for a data plan starting from $20 a month. As per the estimates, the company is looking at almost 25 million customers by the end of the year 2020 and a big contribution would be coming from India, which is 9% of Netflix’s global revenue.

The partnership with Jio has been initiated in September, to offer a free mobile-only subscription to post-paid subscribers for plans starting at $5.3 per month, with the option to upgrade the plan as well. The integration was tested in July this year with $4.7/month for a “mobile plus” plan in India, which allowed HD streaming on mobile devices and laptops. With the increasing users in India and revenue of ₹923.7 crore and net profit of ₹8.9 crores in FY20, it seems that the integration with Jio is going to further increase their market share in the Indian market for streaming services.

Apart from Jio, the company has also tied up with various other streaming services and product manufacturers like Fire TV stick from Amazon, Gaming consoles, and more. The expansion of services in the global market has been a great setup for Netflix and this deal is going to take it even further.

Recently, Apple has announced their new tariff plans for the users which are much more affordable as well. In an attempt to expand the reach of Apple TV to consumers, the tech giant has seemed to join hands with Microsoft.

It would be the first time that Apple TV has made its entry in the console market and the same will be available at the time of the Xbox launch on November 10. Since Microsoft has been trying to make a seamless transition from Xbox One to Series X and S, they are also bringing forward all the entertainment apps along with it. Some of the most common entertainment apps on the Xbox One like Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, Spotify, YouTube, YouTube TV, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, will be transferred to the new generation of consoles as well.

It’s not just Xbox, it does seem like Playstation will also be working on the same kind of lineup for their consoles as well. Therefore, it would not be a surprise if Apple TV comes on the Playstation console as well. This seems to be a great step forward from Apple, as integrating their streaming services with gaming consoles will increase their reach to more customers.

A few days back it was confirmed by OnePlus that they will be launching a new version of the one plus 8T which will be the  Cyberpunk edition. CyberPunk is one of the most popular games that are yet to be released and also has the character of popular Hollywood star Keanu Reeves. The limited-edition phone has been launched by OnePlus and is going up for pre-orders in China. The phone is almost identical to the OnePlus 8T in terms of specs and hardware. It has a 6.55-inch screen with a 1080p resolution and 120Hz display. 

The phone will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset and will have a 12GB./256GB configuration. The phone will also support a 4,500mAh battery with 65W fast charging. The major change in the phone is the color and design change which has been inspired by the CyberPunk 2077 game. The phone has a speckled black colorway with yellow accents on the side and bottom. The bottom rear also has the game logo.

One major change that you will be able to see on the phone immediately will be the expanded rear camera module, which covers the entire width of the phone. The camera sensors and configuration remain the same without any kind of addition. The package also included some special edition stickers and cards. For pre-orders, the cost of the phone has been kept at ¥3,999. The phone does seem to be attractive but the expanded camera module on the rear does seem a bit out of the place.

Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 9 series was launched earlier this year and the company was expected to be already working on the Redmi Note 10 series, which will be announced next year. However, it seems like the company is working on three new smartphone models that will be under the Redmi Note 9 series, and will also be launched in November this year. The launch will be a part of the strategy which would allow Xiaomi to expand its smartphone market. Also, this shows that the brand will be expanding the range of models for a specific lineup. 

The details have been shared by Digital Chat Station which claims that three new devices will be appearing in mid-November and out of the three devices, one will be having a 108-megapixel Samsung ISOCELL Bright HM2 sensor. A few days back, two Redmi smartphones were also found with model number M2007J22C and M2007J17C, and one of them being registered by the Chinese certification authority. The smartphones had technical specs that showed 22.5W and 30W fast charging support for them.

Also, one of the best features was the support for the 5G network in both the models. It is also assumed that the best model among the three with 30W fast charging, will have a Snapdragon 750G. However, one thing is for sure that these smartphones will be launched under the Redmi Note9 series. Apart from that, the brand will also be launching a Redmi K40 smartphone in December, which will be the successor to the popular series Redmi K30.

After the launch of the iPhone 12 last month, Apple has again announced a new event date for November 10. The event has been tagged as “One More Thing” and we expect that the company could be launching the new lineup for Mac. As per the invite, the event will start at 10 AM PST and will be the third major event that the company will be hosting this year. The company did announce at WWDC that they will not be using the intel chipsets in the future and will be moving to its in-house ARM-based silicon processors. 

However, they also mentioned that this transition might take some time and will be something that you will not see on all the Apple systems at once. Now the event on November 10, is expected to be the launchpad for the first Mac device that has been powered with Apple’s ARM-based silicon processors. They are expected to launch the all-new series of MacBook Air and Macbook Pro, which will be powered by the Apple chipset.

The details that have been leaked earlier do mention that users will not see any major design improvement in the new mack, but the hardware will have significant changes. The new chipset will be based on the A14 Bionic chipset which is being used in the iPhone 12 and iPad Air lineup. It is expected that the in-house chipset will provide higher performance and better integration of hardware and software for the users to bring more features.

Samsung is expected to launch the all-new Samsung Galaxy S21 next year and the leaks about the phone have already started pouring in. The phone is expected to launch in January 2021 and it seems that the company has started part production already. The launch of the S21 series will definitely be much earlier than expected and the starting of part production seems to be the right step in the direction. However, it is still not clear whether the phone has yet entered mass production. 

The details were given by tipster Roland Quandt, however, it is not clear if this is the final version of the phone that has gone into production or is the sampling for PVT/DVT devices. There could be a chance that the phone that has gone into production are just prototypes and will go through many more changes in the final production. It has also been reported that Samsung got lower sales for the Galaxy S20 series than expected, due to which they will be launching the S21 series much earlier to make up for in the sales. 

YouTube video

There are also rumors that the company will be merging Galaxy S and Note series flagships to streamline the handset lineup and shift its focus on the Galaxy Z series of foldable. The new Galaxy S21 series will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 875 SoC and Exynos 2100 processors, depending on the location and the market they have been launched in. We can also accept the phone too which comes with a higher refresh rate and resolution.
