Surfshark VPN Calls Quits on India Servers

Surfshark becomes the second major virtual private network (VPN) to shut down its India servers after Express VPN. This comes after a cybersecurity directive by the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) made it compulsory for the VPNs to store user data for a period of five years. 

“In response to the new Indian data regulation laws, Surfshark is shutting down its servers in India. The new laws require VPN providers to record and keep customers’ logs for 180 days as well as collect and keep excessive customer data for five years,” said Surfshark in a blog post. They added that Surfshark operates under a ‘no logs’ policy and that the CERT-In directive goes against the ‘core ethos of the company.’

Express VPN removed its India servers before Surfshark owing to the same directive that calls for the VPNs to record consumer data like names, email IDs, contact numbers, and IP addresses (among other things) of their customers for a period of five years. Surfshark VPN might not be the last in removing its servers from India as Nord VPN is also looking for a similar move away from the country. 

Surfshark has announced that it will shut down all of its physical servers before the new law comes into force on June 27th, 2022. The company will introduce virtual servers for India which will be physically located in Singapore and London. Surfshark has more than 3000 servers in 65 countries as of April 2022.  “Users in India who don’t use Indian servers will not notice any differences – they will still be able to connect to whichever server outside the country they please,” said Surfshark. 

“VPN suppliers leaving India isn’t good for its burgeoning IT sector. Surfshark’s data shows that since 2004, the year data breaches became widespread, 14.9B accounts have been leaked and a striking 254.9M of them belong to users from India,” the company added

Infinix Set To Debut First MediaTek Helio G99 Smartphone

Hong Kong-based smartphone manufacturer Infinix is set to debut the world’s first MediaTek Helio G99-powered smartphone. The company hasn’t divulged information about which specific phone will house the new chipset other than the fact that it will be a Note 12 series smartphone. MediaTek launched the Helio G99 SoC last month alongside the Dimensity 930 and Dimensity 1050 chipsets. 

We’re thrilled to officially announce we will be working with @MediaTek on implementing the industry's first powerful Helio G99 processor into a new NOTE 12 series smartphone coming soon.#Infinix #NOTE12Series pic.twitter.com/RqyouxCJPh

— Infinix Mobile (@Infinix_Mobile) June 6, 2022 MediaTek Helio G99 SoC details

The Helio G99 chipset is fabricated on TSMC’s 6 nm process. The chipset is an octa-core one consisting of 2x Cortex A-76 cores clocked up to 2.2 GHz and 6x Cortex A-55 cores clocked up to 2 GHz. The processor is packing a Mali-G57 MC2 GPU to handle tasks such as gaming and video editing. The SoC, however, only supports 4G/LTE connectivity.

While we don’t have any specific details about the upcoming Infinix Note 12 series smartphone which will carry this SoC, we do have the chipset’s specifications that can help us make some deductions. The SoC is rated to drive up to 120 Hz refresh rate displays with a maximum resolution of 2520 x 1080. While we cannot comment on the resolution the phone may have, chances are we may get a 120 Hz or at least a 90 Hz refresh rate display. The chipset also supports LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 2.2 storage speeds, so that’s what we can expect on the phone.

Caption: MediaTek Helio G99 SoC specs

The Helio G99 supports up to 108 MP cameras and a dual 16 MP configuration for selfie cameras. We may see a high megapixel count rear camera on the upcoming Infinix Note 12 series smartphone.

As for the price, there are no hints or indications so far, however, Infinix suggests that we may be privy to some information about the upcoming phone soon.
