Nothing Phone 3 - First True Flagship with Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 at ₹79,999

Meanwhile, Real True Flagships at much lower price range with similar specs as Nothing Phone 3 be like :

A noteworthy thing some may be unaware of:
At some point in time, the bloatware on Chinese stock systems most likely hit some really frustrating levels. Chinese government got mad and mandated the ability of uninstalling it.

Result?

Global stock ROMs now contain a significantly higher number of bloat you can't casually uninstall. You can disable it, you can uninstall it over ADB, but you can't expect the same level of ease given to you by Chinese stock ROMs. The screenshot you see is Chinese RealmeUI with nearly everything uninstalled directly from app drawer (ignore Google Play).

🇨🇳 Foxconn Recalls 300+ Chinese Engineers from India

A disruption in Apple’s global manufacturing migration strategy

---

🔧 What Happened

Foxconn, the key manufacturing partner for Apple, has reportedly recalled more than 300 Chinese engineers and technicians from its Indian production units in southern India over the past two months.

These personnel were instrumental in handling production line setup, staff training, and quality assurance for iPhone manufacturing.

Currently, only Taiwanese engineers remain at the sites to support operations.

🕵️ Why It Likely Happened

While no official explanation has been offered, industry watchers and insiders suggest several underlying motivations:

- Beijing is believed to have issued verbal directives discouraging the outflow of skilled Chinese labor to rival manufacturing destinations like India and Vietnam.

- The move aligns with China’s broader strategic goal to protect its technological edge by preventing transfer of manufacturing expertise abroad.

- There’s also a protectionist streak, aimed at stalling Apple’s increasing shift of production operations out of China, especially to India, which is rapidly emerging as a key electronics manufacturing hub.

🧯 What It Means for Apple and India

Apple’s vision to transform India into a global iPhone manufacturing powerhouse might hit speed bumps:

- iPhone 17 production timelines could be delayed, with the absence of experienced Chinese engineers slowing down workflow optimization.

- Onboarding and training of new Indian recruits—over 1,000 expected by July—might be hindered due to fewer skilled mentors on-site.

- Assembly line efficiency may decline in the short term, although initial reports suggest product quality won't be affected.

🏗️ Mitigation and Response

Foxconn is pressing ahead with major investments, including the construction of a new plant in Tamil Nadu and a $2.56 billion expansion at its Devanahalli facility.

The Indian government, through the Ministry of Electronics and IT, remains optimistic, asserting that local talent supplemented by Taiwanese engineers can manage the transition.

Apple, for its part, is reportedly considering bringing in engineers from Vietnam to maintain operational stability.

It’s never been this easy to create custom ringtones on iPhone, thanks to iOS 26 😛😛

Vodafone Idea Launches Vi Guarantee Programme Offering Extra Validity for 2G Users

Prepaid customers on 2G handsets to receive 2 extra days of validity per recharge under new Vi Guarantee programme.

aimed at its 2G handset user base. Under the newly introduced Vi Guarantee Programme, prepaid customers on unlimited voice packs priced at Rs 199 and above will receive an additional 2 days of validity with each recharge. This benefit will be credited up to 12 times over a year, offering a total of 24 extra days of service, Vi said.

Extra Validity to Address Recharge Gaps

The programme addresses a persistent issue faced by voice-centric and low-data usage customers, who often find themselves needing to recharge twice within a single month due to the traditional 28-day validity. With the extra two days, customers will now receive a full 30-day cycle, effectively enabling one recharge per calendar month and ensuring more seamless and uninterrupted service.


"The Vi Guarantee programme aims to address a long-standing challenge faced by voice-only or low data usage prepaid customers, which is the need to recharge again within the same month. With traditional 28-day packs, customers often recharge twice in a single calendar month or sometimes continue with interrupted service," Vi said on Tuesday, July 1, 2025

Enhanced Value in Select Telecom Circles

This benefit is available to prepaid users on 2G handsets. Customers in select circles—Assam, North East, Odisha, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, and Rajasthan—will receive slightly enhanced data benefits as well. For example, the Rs 199 and Rs 209 packs, which typically offer 2GB data and 300 SMS, will offer 3GB data in these regions, along with the 2-day extra validity

To activate the extra validity benefit, eligible customers can dial *USSD code 999# or call 1212.

Vi Guarantee for 4G/5G Users Continues

Vi said it also continues to run its Vi Guarantee programme for 4G and 5G users, launched last year. This plan offers 130GB of bonus data spread over one year, with 10GB credited every 28 days for 13 cycles. To avail of this benefit, customers must be on unlimited daily data plans of Rs 299 or higher and can activate the offer through the Vi mobile app
