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.

Nokia launches two 4G feature phones with VoLTE

Nokia has launched two new feature phones with 4G network support in China. Both the phones, Nokia 215 4G and 225 4G supports VoLTE and HD calls. And since the launch was made in quiet fashion, we’re not sure if it will be coming to other markets. The launch was announced via a Weibo post and doesn’t exactly share all the details about the devices.

But we do that both the phones offer FM Radio, LED flashlight and lets you expand storage. They feature regular physical QWERTY alpha-numeric keypad. And we’d assume the screen size is about 2-inch or so with color resolution. But it’s easy to see the difference between the 215 and 225 model.

While the 225 4G gets a rear VGA (0.3MP) camera, the 215 4G comes without any. Both the phones are priced under Rs 4,000 for the Chinese market but Nokia says the 225 4G gets a battery-efficient chipset. Which probably explains the higher cost of the variant. But with 4G support, we are keen to know more about the software running on the device. And if it’s the KaiOS version, then you can have various apps compatible with the phones.

Nokia 3.1 gets Android 10 update

Nokia 3.1 users this week are finally getting a taste of Android 10 version. HMD Global, the brand selling Nokia phones is rolling out the update over the air (OTA). The update will be hitting the device in select countries as part of the first wave, which includes India. Nokia 3.1 as you might know is an Android One product that is claimed to get quick software updates. But as you can see here, Android 10 for this phone is rolling out after Android 11 is already available in the market. It is possible the pandemic has played its part in the rollout delay.

The phone launched with Nokia 8.1 Oreo in 2018, it won’t be getting new Android versions after this week’s Android 10 release. However, users will continue to get security support for another year or so.
