AMD to invest $400 million in India by 2028: Here’s what we know

US chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices said on Friday it will invest around $400 million in India over the next five years and will build its largest design center in the tech hub of Bengaluru. AMD’s announcement was made by its Chief Technology Officer Mark Papermaster at an annual semiconductor conference that started Friday in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s home state of Gujarat. Other speakers at the flagship event include Foxconn Chairman Young Liu and Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra. Despite being a late entrant, the Modi government has been courting investments into India’s nascent chip sector to establish its credentials as a chipmaking hub.

Company behind Nokia 9 five cameras quits smartphone industry

The company which pioneered multiple camera setup has quit the smartphone industry. It’s called Light and you might remember them for working on the Nokia 9 Purview penta camera setup. According to reports this week, Light will now use its imaging expertise to focus on the core products like the Light 16 camera. As the name suggests, it came with a whopping 16 lens and was dubbed as a threat to the DSLR cameras.

Light’s only claim to fame in the smartphone industry comes via its work on the Nokia 9 Pureview. Everyone was amazed to see five cameras at the back of this phone.

Nokia 9 falters

The Pureview badge raised the expectations of the people with the Nokia 9. But things didn’t pan out that way. The phone’s unique camera failed to live up to its billing, and DxOMark gave it 85 points. The phone’s use of multiple lens was clicking images separately, which took a long time to process on the device.

These issues became a sore point for the flagship phone from HMD Global, which launched in India for over Rs 45,000. The company had joined hands with Xiaomi and Sony to make some new stuff. But it’s probably too late to expect something out of it.

The company is renowned for experimenting. And while Nokia 9 Pureview was a good effort, the company didn’t work out its magic in the smartphone space. Which must have played a part in them deciding to leave this industry and work on what they are good at. Hopefully we’ll be hearing more from Light about its upcoming products in the near future.

HMD Global seems to be working on its rumored camera flagship smartphone, the much anticipated Nokia 9.3 Pureview. Currently, the company is working on finalizing the camera including features, editing, algorithms, and more. Beyond the usual improvements, the report also highlighted the partnership between HMD Global and Carl Zeiss. Both the teams are working on fine-tuning “exclusive” Zeiss effects on the upcoming smartphone.
