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. AMD said it will open its new design centre campus in Bengaluru by end of this year and create 3,000 new engineering roles within five years. “Our India teams will continue to play a pivotal role in delivering the high-performance and adaptive solutions that support AMD customers worldwide,” Papermaster said.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 3, Watch Active 2 get ECG support in US, but there’s a catch

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 was launched last month. One of the key highlights of the new wearable over its predecessor, the Galaxy Watch 2, is the support for ECG monitoring. However, there is a catch with ECG. In most countries, including the US, the brands must gain separate permission to let their devices monitor ECG. Samsung just activated the feature on the Galaxy Watch 3 series and even the Watch Active 2 in the US.

However, all is not good. Samsung has, at least for now, blocked the use of the feature only to users who own a Samsung Galaxy Smartphone running Android 7 or above. This means that if you pair your newly purchased Galaxy Watch 3 with another non-Samsung phone, even if it is an expensive flagship device running the latest Android 10, you will not be able to use the ECG feature. This is quite a bad move on Samsung’s part, and without an explanation will likely attract some backlash.

That being said, recording the heart rhythm on the Samsung Health Monitor app is pretty easy. All users need to do is rest their arms on a flat surface and place their fingers on the top button of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3. Once you have done this, Samsung’s Health Monitor app allows you to send a PDF report of your ECG along with relevant symptoms like dizziness or fatigue.

In other news, Samsung is expected to debut its new F series of smartphones in India on October 8. The announcement comes from a Flipkart teaser that also gives out a few features of the F41. The device will be launched via an online event at 5:30 pm and will go on sale via Flipkart. The limited set of revealed features hint at this being a reworked Galaxy M31 at possibly a lower price. Samsung is yet to reveal more on this one officially.

The Galaxy F has been long rumored to be a camera-centric series of affordable smartphones. The Galaxy F41 is the first in the series and it expresses its intention of being a photographer’s choice from the teaser. The phone features a triple rear camera setup with a 2020-ish rectangular camera hump design. There’s even a rear-mounted capacitive fingerprint sensor while the rear appears to be made of plastic.
