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.

Realme phone with under-display camera spotted online

Realme is likely to join brands like Xiaomi and ZTE to launch its phone with an under-display camera. This has become evident this week, after one of its executives teased an upcoming phone to the public. The smartphone, as you can see below, does not come with a notch, and neither does it have a pop-up camera system. Realme VP Xu Qi even clarified this in the post. Which means, the only way it could accommodate a front camera is under the display.

Phones with a pop-up camera mechanism have become a rarity now. It seems that phone makers now prefer the punch hole design over the motorized system, helping them cut cost. But with the under-display camera, the innovation stakes are likely higher. So, it will be interesting to see how the likes of Realme and Xiaomi manage to afford the technology in their pocket-friendly devices.

Watch: Realme Narzo 20 Pro Camera Review

But as we saw with the ZTE Axon 5G a few weeks back, it seems that pricing won’t be an issue for this feature. After all, the brand managed to offer a 5G mid-range phone with the front camera under the screen. So, it’s possible Realme and Xiaomi will be easily able to manage the cost of integrating the technology. And while Xiaomi is slated to include the feature in its phone from next year. We still don’t have a timeline for Realme doing that. But going by this new tease, don’t be surprised if Realme does it before Xiaomi sometime this year itself.
