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...

Nothing Phone (1) display brightness controversy finally gets company’s response

Nothing Phone (1) has faced criticism ever since it debuted. Sometimes over the delayed deliveries. Sometimes over the fact that there is no charger in the box. But recently, the criticism involved the display brightness specifications being different from those advertised. Nothing has now acknowledged the issue and released a statement amid mounting complaints.

In a statement to Android Authority, Nothing said that the display hardware of the Phone (1) is capable of showing the advertised brightness. But the software of the phone caps the maximum brightness level. Nothing claims the Phone (1) display can run at a peak brightness level of 1,200 nits in its advertisements and website. However, a recent teardown revealed the maximum brightness is capped at 700 nits — irking users who bought the phone based on that claim.

“This decision was made to ensure a balanced user experience regarding heat and battery consumption,” said Nothing. It added that in case Nothing Phone (1) users want to use higher brightness levels on their phones instead of the existing ones, there are chances the feedback will be “addressed in future software updates.”

Nothing Phone (1)’s top brightness isn’t 1200 nits

Nothing also explained different brightness levels to avoid confusion, which may be the reason behind all the criticism. According to Android Authority, the 0-500 nits is the normal range of brightness levels for the Nothing Phone (1). The display cranks up the brightness to those levels in usual conditions. The 500-700 brightness levels kick in only in the auto-brightness mode and when the phone faces an intense light source. The 700-1,200 range is what the company calls a “special mode”, and it is currently unavailable to users, thanks to software restrictions.

The statement by the company dials down on the criticism, but it fails to explain why Nothing chose to use the 1200 nits of brightness in the marketing material for the Phone (1). If for some reason, Nothing had to limit the top-tier brightness levels on the Phone (1), it should never have publicised what it could not deliver. Besides, the phone was also at the centre of complaints about the build and camera quality.
