Interestingly, both these mobile phones will be available in India from April 17, 2021.

Today, in mobile technology, Samsung plays a very significant role. Moreover, the screen made by Samsung is one of the best in the world. Even Google Pixel and iPhone also use the screen made by Samsung. Not only this, Samsung is always the first choice of users.

As with the up-gradation of digital advancement and technology, the entire world and India have come in the Network Generation of 5G. Every company in the race of mobile phone technology, already released their 5G network supported devices; however, Samsung has not launched a single device with 5G support yet.

The wait is over for all people who put Samsung in the first place. Samsung recently announced that they would soon launch their first device with 5G support with a mid-range segment. In particular, in India, Samsung pointed to the release of the Galaxy M42, the M series.

As per the statement of one of the tipsters from Samsung, the Galaxy M42 model is right before the corner to launch. M-series in Samsung already gained a lot of popularity and user engagement, and the launch of M42, which is also the first smartphone with the 5G support, will be making a strong user market for Samsung.

Till now, we don’t have an exact date to release the Galaxy M42, but as per Gadgets Data, it claims that at the end of the month, April, Samsung will be launching the M42 in India. Another interesting thing he mentioned in the tweet that a 750G Snapdragon would support the Galaxy M42.

Why Snapdragon 750G?

Snapdragon 750G is popular because it comes with the latest 5G network connectivity by using Qualcomm’s X52, which is a specially designed chipset for the 5G network. In addition, it is an Octa-Core processor with 2.2 GHz built on just an 8 Nanometer Fabrication, and Adreno 619 GPU provides graphics functionality.

Some Expected Features of M42

The model Moto G 5G was the first to offer a 750G Snapdragon processor, and then Xiaomi Mi 10 provided a second. Now, Galaxy M42 will be the third one to offer this smart processor.

Likewise all other models in the M Series, we can expect many similar features in M42 also. For example, we can assume the giant power battery with at least 6000 mAh capacity; of course, we can expect the HD+ display of AMOLED.

As we actively see that day-by-day, all the mobile phone companies are launching their latest bands in the market to stay active in the mobile technology race. However, not all organizations can gain popularity by citizens. While on the other hand, people are waiting months for a specific company’s phone to release.

This is the case with Realme smartphone devices. They offer lots of features in the small box to their customers. This time also, they came up with a series called “GT” across the world. The interesting fact is that the first model will be launched in India in the early days of May 2021.

The GT is Realme’s latest flagship smartphone, predicted to be released globally in the upcoming weeks. Chief Marketing Officer, Francis Wong, revealed some details in the session of “Know your Realmers” regarding the upcoming Realme’s flagship mobile phone for India. He also talked about Realme company, the large community, his background, upcoming plan, and the future goal of the company. 

One of the community members in the session asked him which smartphone he is currently using? The CMO replied that he really wanted to tell all of you which device he is using in his daily drivers. But, unfortunately, as it is Realme‘s upcoming flagship version, it must be released later to celebrate our 3rd anniversary.

Nevertheless, as of now, we can not confirm whether they will release Realme GT, Realme GT Neo, or both. But, if we look to the current and previous lineup, we can assume for the Realme GT. The Realme GT Neo was spotted to launch early in India, but dates are still not released.

Specification of Realme GT

One of the best things about the GT series is that it has a separate vapor chamber for device cooling whenever it seems to be hot. Moreover, it will be supported by an 888 Snapdragon chipset with 3.1 UFS storage functionality and RAM of LPDDR5. 

Compared to many other mobile phones in the market, it has a little small screen of 6.43 inches. But, the display is the Super AMOLED with, surprisingly, 360 Hz response of touch and 120 Hz refresh rate. Besides, it will also come with DCI-P3 coverage, which costs around 100$.

We can not forget about camera functionality while talking to Realme phones. Likewise, GT also has a wide range of camera features. It has a 64MP primary camera with a lens of 8 MP ultrawide and a macro shooter of 2MP. Hence, it has a triple camera so that you never miss an eye-catching moment to shoot. For selfie lovers, Realme packed a 16MP selfie camera at the front. 

The Realme GT series models will be powered by 65W high-speed charging to a battery of 4500 mAh. Therefore, it only takes 35 minutes to charge. 

The pricing of GT in India will be nearly equal to 31,500 INR for the model of 8GB RAM and 128 GB of storage. For 12GB and 256GB of memory, the price will be around 37,000, which is a great deal to have this much functionality and awesome service by Realme.

The competition in the mobile phone market has risen significantly across the world over the past few years. All top-notch companies keep launching the best features smartphones in the market to maintain their positions.

Infinix, one of the most popular and old Hong Kong-based companies, lately launched Smart 5, with a 6000 mAh battery backup smartphone; announced that they would be releasing the fifth generation’s mobile phones in the second half of the year 2021.

While interviewing with Anish Kapoor; revealed that Infinix would be in partnership with MediaTek for their upcoming two 5G supported smartphones. They also mentioned that both phones would be launched after the month of June, and pricing will be over 15,000 INR. Therefore, we can predict that both phones will have an 800U MediaTek Density chipset from the cost.

Moreover, Mr Kapoor also suggested that they are looking to extend their Hot and Node series by introducing a new five mobile phones in this category.

Not only Hot and Node series, but they also work to improve their Smart television models in India. Currently, they offer 32 inches and 43 inches smart TV, and now they plan to offer 40 inches and 55 inches. Likewise, their upcoming 5G smartphones, the smart TV, will also have MediaTek chipsets.

Surprisingly, the Infinix Hot 10 Play model will be launched in India on 19th April. With the specification of High Definition plus IPS 6.82 inches displays attached with G25 MediaTek processor, a total of 32GB internal storage capacity and 2GB of RAM, and have Android 10 Operating System.

With the concern of battery life, it has a 6000 mAh giant battery, which is powered by 10W charging. Apart from this, the camera features are also limited but good as per the budget. It will have a 13MP rear camera on the phone.

All the products of Infinix will be available on the platform Flipkart.

Many were surprised when LG officially announced that they will not be manufacturing any cellphones in the future. LG bid farewell to smartphones this year. However, the rumours have been going around for several weeks. The company has taken the strategic decision to officially shut down its entire apparatus of mobile units. 

Since LG will not be manufacturing phones anymore, they are determined to channelize they’re resources to more dynamic sectors like Electric Vehicles and Smart Homes. It seems that LG might be successful in topping these sectors since they have displayed their technological creativity many times in the past

But don’t be disheartened if you already own an LG phone or are inclined towards buying LG V60 or LG Velvet because it will still be tended to by the company. Both the products will stay in the inventory and are pegged to be in the stores and on online platforms. Furthermore, the pertinent service support and requisite updates will stay intact for all the existing LG users. So, decidedly there will not be any new instalment to the LG series. 

The company expects to accomplish the winding-up process by the end of July 31, but customers can buy the product even after that stipulated date. The tech giant from South Korea finally came this decision after registering consecutive losses over the years, despite being the trailblazer in the incredibly competitive Android world. 

Way forward for LG

Robotics is one prevalent avenue that the company might tap into in the future and mark its indelible presence in tandem with artificial intelligence. After being acknowledged worldwide as one of the colossal brands in the android arena and even being listed in the top three smartphone companies in the year 2013, the feats have somehow faded by the cutthroat competition from the ever-expanding market and relentless tech companies.

The popularity was to most extent devoured by the advent of formidable Chinese ventures like Xiaomi and Oppo with their aesthetic rendering to the customers and continues to do so across the international borders. According to the statistics relayed by Counterpoint Research last year, unobtrusive LG failed to even enlist itself in the top seven companies worldwide, despite being the third most predominant vendor of smartphones in the countries like the USA, just striding behind tech giants like Apple and Samsung (According to  Canalys).

What others think?

“LG left a small vacuum of the market share of approximately 2% globally’’, asserted Neil Shah (Vice president of widely acknowledged research firm Counterpoint Research). Now, this void will eventually be successfully filled by a trailblazer like Samsung and other small players especially in countries like South Korea and the United States of America.

People on social media met LG’s decision with great nostalgia. Many users showed their appreciation for the brand by posting the picture of their very first LG phone.

LG introduced a one of its kind, curved smartphone in 2013. It became one of the first company to have introduced this  futuristic technology in the smartphone market. Additionally, LG brought its last renditiong to light a few months ago. They unveiled a phone that could be easily rolled up to be morphed into a tablet.

LG has always been in the limelight for its unconventional and innovative renditions of smartphones. However, LG often did not receive an overwhelming response for these features.

LG brought forward many technologies during the last two decades. Many of the current products will undeniably retain and build on them.
