Nvidia’s strategy for India is built on a multi-pronged approach predicated to “accelerated computing is the future of technology,” especially for India given the energy constraints. This approach offers an efficient solution to meet the country’s growing AI needs—sustainably, said the company’s business head (cloud and consumer internet) for the South Asian market, Hasan Aijaz. “The chip is no longer the unit; it’s the data centre. You don’t have to think about chips or systems separately. You need to think about how chips and systems work together, along with the network and the software and create a full stack,” he said at the Bengaluru Tech Summit on Thursday speaking on a discussion about AI for chips. Meanwhile, US-based Qualcomm said it is focused on edge AI and making on-device AI more accessible and efficient for its end consumers. Senior VP at the firm, Srini Maddali, said «AI on the edge is not an option; it is a necessity. You will not be able to scale, nor will you get the technology leverage across the world without having AI on the device.»

chip design giant MediaTek is planning to significantly expand its workforce in India, ToI reported on November 16. This announcement comes as the company secures its position as the leading chip supplier for smartphone makers in the country. MediaTek surpassed American competitor Qualcomm by providing chips for both budget-friendly and high-end smartphones, according to Counterpoint data. The company now aims to leverage India's growing technology sector by recruiting more engineers and designers, said ToI's report (by Pankaj Doval). «There are a lot of exciting opportunities that we see in India. First and foremost are smartphones. We're going through a massive 4G to 5G transition. It's happening very quickly here,» ToI's report said quoting MediaTek's global VP for corporate marketing, Finbarr Moynihan.

₹30,000: While there are a lot of smartphones available in the sub- ₹30k price bracket, not all of them have the best camera system. In order to solve the conundrum, we have compiled a list of top camera phones one can buy in this price range with options from notable smartphone makers like Motorola, OnePlus, Realme, Vivo and more. 1) Vivo T3 Ultra: Vivo T3 Ultra 5G features a 6.78-inch 3D curved AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution (2800 x 1260).

Chipmakers like Qualcomm are pushing the Indian government to delicense a portion of the 6GHz spectrum band to support the latest Wi-Fi 7 technology. However, telecom operators are mounting a pushback seeking for the band to remain licensed and available for cellular connectivity. As a result, the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has been putting off its decision on delicensing the band with telecom operators, broadband providers as well as the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) caught in the tussle. So, Wi-Fi 7 enabled products are not being allowed to enter the market, with the PlayStation 5 Pro the most recent example. To work around this, chipset makers like Qualcomm and MediaTek are pushing ahead with Wi-Fi 7 products in India. A top Qualcomm executive said that gearmakers are currently working around the ban by not opting for 6GHz support in new routers. Instead, they continue to support 2.5GHz and 5GHz bands which are combined to give a higher bandwidth. The 6GHz spectrum, which spans from 5925-7125MHz, is considered ideal for both 5G services and Wi-Fi use due to its capability to deliver higher bandwidth. Telcos fear that free use of the band for Wi-Fi would eat into their revenue. Even ISRO has raised concerns about potential interference with its satellite operations if the band is used for cellular connectivity.

The system-on-chip or SoC multinational with its Snapdragon X Plus and X Elite and Oryon cores compute platform is touted to outperform AMD or Intel central processing units (CPU), based on critical benchmarks. “Qualcomm has been able to bring more heterogeneous compute capability and mobile-centric features from edge AI to elite gaming to 5G easily with lower battery consumption to the PC ecosystem. This allowed it to be the first chip vendor to power Microsoft CoPilot+PCs ahead of incumbents – AMD and Intel, which is a significant feat,” Neil Shah, Vice President, Counterpoint Research told ETTelecom.

₹24-25 thousand. Vivo Y300 5G is expected to come with a 6.7inch AMOED dispaly with 120Hz refresh rate and 1200 nits of peak brightness.

high-end smartphones are set to get at least 5% more expensive, driven by use of more powerful and complex chipsets for AI use-cases along with more powerful memory modules and other components. Leading chipset companies-Qualcomm and MediaTek-have guided gross margins on mobile phone chipsets to go down in the December quarter due to increasing wafer costs. Taiwanese chipset maker TSMC is raising costs for leading-edge 5nm and 3nm processors that are majorly utilised by smartphone chipmakers. Meanwhile, chipset designer ARM is also raising licensing costs for companies like MediaTek, even as it is embroiled in a lawsuit against Qualcomm for its use of custom CPU cores in its latest generation mobile chipset. Experts believe Qualcomm will likely settle ahead of the hearing in December, with ARM pushing to raise license fees with Qualcomm as well.

Qualcomm on Wednesday forecast sales and profit in the current quarter would exceed Wall Street estimates as the company benefits from a wave of launches of flagship Chinese smartphones.

Galaxy S25 Ultra was initially listed on Geekbench in September, believed to carry Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor. However, Qualcomm recently unveiled its flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, now associated with Samsung’s flagship model.
