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.

After OnePlus, Realme considers switching to ColorOS from Oppo for its smartphones

Back in March 2021, OnePlus made a shocking announcement of switching to Oppo’s ColorOS skin for its new devices. The move was restricted to Chinese devices only, replacing the HydrogenOS skin. Two months since then, Realme is now considering the same for its smartphones. The company recently asked the same to its Indian community on its forum.

In its recent post on the Realme community, the company asked its members about the OS preference.  The company has asked six questions on the forum, four of which talk about ColorOS in general. It is even exploring the option to name it as ColorOS for Realme, similar to how OnePlus did in China. This is still in the decision stage and the company is yet to finalise anything.

ColorOS for Realme could replace RealmeUI

Realme’s considerations for going to ColorOS isn’t surprising, given that the brand started off as an arm of Oppo. In fact, the first few Realme smartphones relied on Oppo’s ColorOS skin and up until recently, there was no virtual difference between them and Oppo smartphones.

Realme X50 Pro 5G

The company made the move to RealmeUI with the Android 10 generation, customizing the skin more in accordance with Google’s stock Android interface. However, apart from a few cosmetic changes, the basic layout and experience was no different than ColorOS.

Is the move to ColorOS good or bad for Realme users? That’s for you to decide. OnePlus made the move for its OnePlus 9 series, keeping in mind faster update rollout and lesser development costs. In our perspective, moving to ColorOS could cut down the development time for new Android versions. Similar to OnePlus, Realme is far behind in terms of timing its latest Android updates. Moreover, the features in RealmeUI are no different than that of ColorOS 11.

This move, in general, is not a surprise. Xiaomi does the same for its sub-brands and sister brands. Mi, Redmi, and Poco smartphones use the same MIUI skin based on Android. Poco takes the liberty to install its own MIUI for Poco on its smartphones.

At the moment, we are looking forward to the Realme X7 Max launching on May 31. The Realme X7 Max is debuting the MediaTek Dimensity 1200 chip in India. The phone is expected to replace the Realme X7 Pro and take over as the brand’s new flagship offering.
