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. The new 500,000-square-foot (55,5...

Samsung Galaxy A72 will get a feature that Galaxy S21 series missed

Earlier this year, Samsung dropped the in-box charger with the Galaxy S21 series. Hence, it was assumed that every forthcoming Samsung smartphone won’t accompany an in-box charging adapter to help environmental causes. After all, Samsung makes truckloads of phones across various price points. It turns out that the in-box charger will stay for Samsung’s more affordable devices, as evident from a recent FCC certification.

Spotted by GSMArena earlier, Samsung’s upcoming mid-range phone, i.e. the Galaxy A72 4G, will come with an in-box charging adapter. The listing reveals a 25W fast charger in the box, which is currently Samsung’s popular fast charging format for a majority of its premium phones. Sadly, there’s nothing else coming out of the FCC listing, apart from the hint that this phone is launching soon. Previous leaks have already revealed a lot about the Galaxy A72.

Galaxy A72 to bring an in-box charger

Samsung’s decision to stick with the in-box charger for the Galaxy A72 does point at the company’s intentions to not annoy the masses. In the case of the Galaxy S21 series, Samsung aims these phones at those buyers who might be willing to spend an extra buck for getting a charger. In fact, Samsung loyalists might already have the same charger if they purchased the previous models.

With the more accessible Galaxy A and Galaxy M series, it seems that Samsung does not want to leave any chance of wooing customers from rival brands. Earlier, there were reports on OnePlus not willing to ditch the in-box charger yet, which is a trend its sister companies (Oppo, Vivo, and Realme) could follow as well. Hence, offending a budget smartphone buyer with the “value-for-money” bit could hurt Samsung’s sales.

Does that mean Samsung’s premium customers have to ditch the in-box charger while its value-conscious customers get to have it as standard? What does this mean for Samsung’s environmental concerns? Will this be the trend for all budget smartphone manufacturers in 2021? We will have to wait for Samsung to officially give out a statement regarding this.

Based on previous leaks, Samsung has plans to bring the Galaxy A72, Galaxy A52, and Galaxy A32 for the more affordable midrange segments. The new models may not look much different from the existing ones but there will be upgrades internally. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G is the chipset of choice while the AMOLED display will stay from the older models. Samsung is also expected to work on the camera system, possibly using newer sensors.
