Highlights: Wireless charging won't debut on the upcoming OnePlus flagship, Pete Lau confirms. OnePlus believes the tech is not fast enough to match the 'Warp Charge' speeds. The next OnePlus phone is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 855. OnePlus still believes wireless charging is at a nascent stage, and as such, the technology won’t feature in the upcoming OnePlus flagship, Pete Lau confirmed to CNET. Instead, the upcoming flagship, probably named the OnePlus 7, will come with Warp Charge, which Lau believes is “one of the best” in the industry. Until wireless charging is capable of delivering similar charging speeds without heating up, OnePlus won’t consider introducing the tech in its phones. However, Qualcomm did give a boost to the wireless charging standards by debuting Quick Charge for wireless charging at MWC 2019. Lau also stated OnePlus is working on making wireless charging faster without heating up, but didn’t reveal a specific timeline as to when we can see that in action on a OnePlus device. It’s also unlikely that OnePlus will adopt Qualcomm’s Quick Charge standards, given its Warp Charge speeds are much higher in comparison. The company did confirm the next OnePlus device will launch with the flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 under the hood. The rest of the specs remain unknown, but it’s expected the phone will come with an Android 9-Pie based OxygenOS UI. A recently leaked photo even suggested the phone could be all-screen on the front, with a pop-up selfie camera. OnePlus also showcased its 5G prototype at the Qualcomm booth at MWC 2019. It’s covered in a case and one can only see the device’s screen. It’s confirmed to be powered by the Snapdragon 855 SoC and uses the Snapdragon X50 modem for 5G connectivity. The 5G flagship is expected to launch in May 2019 and could be priced $200-$300 higher than the previous OnePlus flagship.

Highlights: Spotify officially launched in India. It offers free and premium subscription plans to users. Here’s how the two tiers compare. Spotify has finally officially launched its services in India and it comes in both, free and premium, plans. The service can now be used in the country as a web app, desktop app, on iOS and Android devices without needing a VPN. The company has also priced it competitively as it starts at almost the same price as Apple Music, at Rs 119 per month, for users who have never opted for Spotify Premium previously, but what extra do you get when going for the premium account subscription over the free one? Which one would suit you better? These are some of the questions one will find answers to in this article, along with some more information on the newly launched online music streaming service. Spotify Free VS Spotify Premium Same as many other music streaming services in India, Spotify also enables users to create a free account to stream music from. There is no charge levied on free account holders, however, one will encounter ads between songs. Ads are a basic way for any music streaming service to generate revenue and free Spotify users in other countries also encounter ads every four or five songs when listening to music. Additionally, they can only skip six songs in the span of an hour and Spotify employs shuffle play that disables users to select what they want to listen to and if one wants to listen to a particular track, they can add it to the queue and hope it comes on. Fortunately, Spotify has not implemented track skip limit or Shuffle Play in India, which means users here can skip and play the songs, all they want. However, upgrading to a premium Spotify account means there won’t be any annoying ads between songs. Additionally, there are some perks only a premium user gets to enjoy like the ability to download and listen to music offline and bumping up the audio playback quality to 320kbps. These features will help users to save up on data since the internet connectivity in India is still patchy in many areas. So, does it make sense to upgrade to Spotify premium? Well, it depends. If you are someone who can’t bear ad interruptions while listening to music, or want to save data by downloading songs when streaming offline, then it makes complete sense to go for the Premium subscription. Additionally, keep in mind that Spotify is well known for using algorithms to curate playlists for users based on their mood. This is the key highlight of Spotify and we ourselves are impressed by how quickly the app learns from a user’s listening habits and plays favourable tracks accordingly. Spotify is offering a 30-day free Premium tier trial so that one can try it before shelling out Rs 119 per month for the service. Interestingly, the app’s premium service can also be availed for one day or a week, along with the regular one month, six months and one-year prepaid plans. For students, Spotify premium is available with a great discount as it starts at Rs 59 per month, just Rs 1 shy of what Apple Music offers for students.

Highlights: OnePlus to start 5G trials in India with Qualcomm. The company will also be one of the first to bring a device powered by the Snapdragon 855 to India. OnePlus also announced the "5G apps of Tomorrow" challenge. Even without releasing a new device, OnePlus has a big presence at this year’s MWC in Barcelona. The company is showcasing it’s 5G prototype device at the Qualcomm booth in the tradeshow where a company executive is demonstrating how cloud gaming will look on 5G. However, the 5G device that OnePlus has announced it will launch this year will be restricted to a select few markets for now where 5G is commercially available. In another announcement, OnePlus said the company has teamed up with Qualcomm to start 5G trials in India. 5G is still a distant dream in India as the spectrum allocation for the next-generation wireless networks is still due to happen. Even OnePlus didn’t delve deep into what the partnership means as of now. OnePlus reportedly began researching on 5G in 2016 and a year later in 2017, the company partnered with Qualcomm to develop a 5G-enabled device. Later in 2018, the company managed to set up a successful 5G connection to Qualcomm’s labs in San Diego. The company also announced it would be one of the first OEMs to bring the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chipset to India. Apart from this, OnePlus announced its “5G Apps of Tomorrow” challenge for Android developers, in partnership with Qualcomm. The winners of the challenge will receive 20,000 euros in cash along with other supporting resources. You can participate in the challenge by heading to OnePlus.com/5G. The microsite is open from today and closes on March 26. The winners will be decided by a panel of executives including the CEOs of OnePlus and EE, along with a community vote. Furthermore, the top 5 ideas of a 5G-enabled app will receive a paid-for trip to the OnePlus HQ in Shenzhen to sit down with Pete Lau to discuss their ideas, a OnePlus 5G device, access to 5G experts on the OnePlus forums, access to EE’s test environment and financial support for a year.
