NVIDIA launches RTX 3060 in India Stocks similar to RTX 3060 Ti

NVIDIA has launched the RTX 3060, the youngest member of the RTX 30-series Ampere graphics cards but with more memory (12 GB) that the more powerful RTX 3060 Ti (8 GB). There will be no Founders Edition cards for the RTX 3060 so all of those GPUs have been allocated to board partners. Industry sources tell us that the stock situation for the RTX 3060 is similar to that of the RTX 3060 Ti. At the same time, NVIDIA's retail partner, RPTech has unlisted the RTX 3060 Ti from their official website. As of now, we do not know what this means for the RTX 3060 Ti. Whether it will be restocked, remains to be seen.

The RTX 3060 is a mid-range graphics card that's targetted at folks who own 900-series and 10-series graphics cards and supposedly offers 30% more performance than the RTX 2060 in rasterised and ray-traced video games. Listings for the graphics card have already gone up on several online stores with no official pricing being mentioned. Folks wanting to purchase the card will have to individually reach out to the stores to get the latest prices. The previously launched RTX 3060 Ti cards have been selling for nearly twice the stated MRP in India. The international price for the RTX 3060 is USD 329 (Approx INR 28,185 with taxes).

NVIDIA RTX 3060 Specifications

Rumours had indicated a weaker RTX 3060 prior to the launch of AMD's RX 6000 series GPUs. It would have had fewer SMs and equal or lesser memory than the RTX 3060 Ti. Thankfully, we now have an RTX 3060 that has 28 Streaming Multiprocessors which give us 3584 CUDA cores. They also include 112 3rd Gen Tensor Cores, 28 2nd Gen RT cores and a 192-bit memory interface.  Essentially, you have a narrower bus addressing a much larger chunk of memory. Benchmarks should peg the card at about 75-80% of what the RTX 3060 Ti is capable of at 1080p. 

Here are the specifications of the RTX 3060 compared against the RTX 3060 Ti, RTX 2060 Super and GTX 1060 6GB GDDR5. 

Model RTX 3060 Ti RTX 3060 RTX 2060 Super GTX 1060 GPU GA104-200-A1 GA106-400-A1 TU106-410-A1 GP106-400-A1 CUDA Cores 4864 3584 2176 1280 Boost Clock 1410 MHz 1320 MHz 1470 MHz 1506 MHz Memory 8 GB 12 GB 8 GB 6 GB Memory Type GDDR6 GDDR6 GDDR6 GDDR5 Memory Clock 14 GHz 14 GHz 14 GHz 8 GHz Memory Bus 256-bit 192-bit 256-bit 192-bit Bandwidth 448 GB/s 336 GB/s 448 GB/s 192 GB/s TGP 200 W 170 W 175 W 120 W Process Samsung 8NM Samsung 8NM TSMC 12nm TSMC 16nm

It certainly seems like a worthwhile upgrade for folks who currently own a GTX 1060 or older graphics card whereas RTX 2060 Super owners can stay with their existing GPUs until the next major GPU launch happens. 

NVIDIA RTX 3060 India availability and price

While the RTX 3060 is expected to sport a more economical price tag compared to the RTX 3060 Ti, we don't expect to see Indian retailers selling it at the stated MRP any time soon. The stated MRP is USD 329 which with taxes comes out to around INR 28,185 but it's extremely unlikely that we'll see cards selling at that price. The global chip shortage problem is expected to last for another year and will only start easing up in the latter part of this year. So don't be surprised to see exhorbitantly priced graphics cards for the next couple of months. NVIDIA is certainly doing their part by trying to provide founders edition cards in India at affordable rates via their retail partners, RPTech. However, only 10-40 cards are stocked around once every month or so. Moreover, the infrastructure has been shown to be barely sufficient to handle the web traffic load when the cards do go on stock.

NVIDIA Partner unlists RTX 3060 Ti

As of today, RPTech has unlisted the RTX 3060 Ti from the website. You can still get to the RTX 3060 Ti page if you have the direct URL. It remains to be seem if the card will be restocked again.  

The card was recently stocked on the 15th with about 40 units available on the day of sale and saw the portal crash multiple times througout the day.

Realme 8 series teased for India launch, could feature 108MP cameras

After launching the Narzo 30 series in India, Realme has now teased the launch of its upcoming Realme 8 series in the country. The series has been teased by the company's India CEO, Madhav Sheth, who took to Twitter to share this information. 

While the company explicitly doesn't mention the series in its tweet, the tweet does enough to hint that the company is teasing the Realme 8 phones. The cryptic tweet mentions a #InfiniteLeapWith8 which is a good enough hint that the company is hinting at the Realme 7 successor. Interestingly, the tweet also hints that the upcoming series could offer 108MP cameras as it has an attached image that mentions 108MP cameras. Although we're not sure if all models will feature 108MP cameras, it is expected that at least one of the models will house this lens. For now, the company hasn't revealed any more details, but the company has promised more details tomorrow.

A great breakthrough ahead! Do you guys know what 108 stands for? Stay tuned, unveiling tomorrow.#InfiniteLeapWith8 #DareToLeap pic.twitter.com/fD8B3WFHOd

— Madhav FutureX (@MadhavSheth1) February 25, 2021 Realme 8 specifications and features

The Realme 8 has been leaked previously. The phone appeared on Geekbench with the model number RMX3092. The listing revealed the phone to house an octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 720 chipset under the hood. As per the listing, the chipset will be paired with 8GB RAM. The phone's core hardware will be tasked to run an Android 10 OS-based copy of the RealmeOS. However, it can be expected that the company may upgrade it to Android 11 at the time of launch. 

Apart from this, the Realme 8 has also been listed on China’s 3C certification. The listing revealed that the phone will come with 65W fast-charging support. The phone is also expected to come with support for 5G. The Realme 8 series could offer two phones, however, there's currently no information available about the hardware of the Pro variant which could be launched alongside the vanilla Realme 8 in a few weeks.

Samsung seems to be gearing up for the launch of the Galaxy A32, Galaxy A52, and Galaxy A72 in India

Samsung have released some incredible phones in the budget and mid-range segment in India under the Galaxy A and Galaxy M series. The company has also slashed the prices of some of its mid-range phones in the country, which we think is a subtle hint at the arrival of some new devices.

Now, we have come across some more info that all but confirms the launch of the Galaxy A32, Galaxy A52, and the Galaxy A72 here in India. The folks over at Sammobile spotted the support pages for the Galaxy A32 4G (SM-A325F/DS), Galaxy A32 5G (SM-A326B/DS), Galaxy A52 (SM-A525F/DS), and the Galaxy A72 (SM-A72F/DS) on its Indian website.

The sheer existence of these pages makes us believe that these phones will soon be made official in India. That being said, it is worth pointing out that Samsung has not listed support pages for the Galaxy A52 5G and the Galaxy A72 5G yet. This means that Samsung may or may not launch those devices in India. We'll definitely be seeing the support pages from them go live soon if they're on the cards.

We are already quite familiar with the Galaxy A32 since it has already been launched in various markets worldwide. The Galaxy A52 and the Galaxy A72, however, are the devices that haven't been made official anywhere yet. It will be interesting to see what kind of hardware they will bring to the table.

As for the Galaxy A32 5G, it is touted to be Samsung's cheapest 5G smartphone yet. It features a 6.5-inch HD+ Infinity-V LCD screen, a MediaTek Dimensity 720 5G processor, a 48-megapixel quad-camera setup at the back, and more. Its 4G variant, listed as the Galaxy A32 4G (SM-A325F/DS), is rumoured to be powered by the MediaTek Helio G85 processor.

Although the Galaxy A52 and the Galaxy A72 aren't official yet, we have a good idea of what to expect from the phones. Both phones are expected to bring a high refresh rate panel, making them the first set of phones to do so in this price segment for Samsung. In fact, the Galaxy A52 5G variant may even have a 120Hz panel since it'll be powered by a more powerful processor.

The key difference between the Galaxy A52 4G and the Galaxy A72 4G will be screen size and battery capacity. While the Galaxy A52 is expected to sport a 6.5-inch screen and a 4,500mAh battery, the Galaxy A72 is said to come with a 6.7-inch screen and a 5,000mAh battery. Other rumoured features for these phones include a 64-megapixel quad-camera system, an in-display fingerprint reader, a USB Type-C port, and 25W fast charging.

OnePlus next affordable phone could be called OnePlus 9R instead of OnePlus 9E9 Lite

In addition to launching some flagship killer phones, OnePlus has decided to dip its toes in the affordable phone market too. We already have a couple of budget OnePlus phones on the market, and it looks like the company ready to bring out more. If you are keeping tabs on the rumors, then you probably have a good idea about the upcoming OnePlus budget phone and its specs.

Adding on to that, the reliable tipster Evan Blass has now leaked the moniker OnePlus 9R. According to him, this is going to be the next OnePlus budget phone. He claims to have spotted a source code that mentions the name OnePlus 9R. Here, check it out -

Hello, OnePlus 9R: https://t.co/0ARy9HiUXW

— Evan Blass (@evleaks) February 24, 2021

His short post on Voice, as you can see, doesn't reveal much about the phone itself. It only gives us the name of the device which was earlier rumoured to be called the OnePlus 9E/9 Lite. "Goodbye OnePlus 9E/9 Lite...", the post says. It's worth pointing out that this is the same phone that is expected to hit the market alongside the OnePlus 9 and the OnePlus 9 Pro.

As for the specifications of this particular device, we already have a decent idea of what to expect. Thanks to all the leaks and rumours, we are expecting the phone to come with a 6.5-inch 90Hz display with an FHD+ resolution. The Snapdragon 690 SoC is said to be at the heart of this phone alongside 8GB of RAM and 128GB internal storage.

OnePlus could launch the OnePlus 9R as an affordable option

For optics, the OnePlus 9R is tipped to come equipped with a 64MP primary camera and an 8MP wide-angle lens. Given the affordable price tag that it is expected to come with, we don't expect this particular phone to have any Hasselblad camera integration like the OnePlus 9 Pro. The handset is also said to come with a 5,000 mAh battery, but that's all we know about the OnePlus 9R for now.

The OnePlus 9R, for those of you who don't know, is expected to come out alongside the highly anticipated OnePlus 9 and the OnePlus 9 Pro next month. Both of those phones are expected to carry a powerful set of specs and features including the Snapdragon 888 SoC, 65W fast-charging support, and more.
