Google teased the Pixel 7 series during its Google I/O 2022 presentation alongside the Pixel 6a. The Pixel 6a (review) was recently launched in India priced at Rs 43,999 and is powered by the Tensor chip featuring a 6.1-inch OLED display, dual rear cameras and more.

As per the report, the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro will go on sale from October 13 in the US.

Google revealed the design of the rear panel of the upcoming Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro but that hasn’t stopped the rumour mill from dishing out some of the specs of the upcoming Pixel phones. As per the leaks, the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro could be powered by the second-generation 4nm Tensor processor and will likely run on Android 13 out-of-the-box.

The Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro are also rumoured to get a 50MP camera that uses Samsung’s GN1 sensor. As per the teaser, the Pixel 7 has dual cameras on the back while the Pixel 7 Pro has three cameras on the rear, just like the Pixel 6 lineup.

iPhone 14 And iPhone 14 Pro Will Have Different OLED Panels, Claims Report

Tech giant Apple is planning to use different OLED panel grades for the upcoming iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro, media reports claim.

According to TheElec, Samsung Display will be applying different grades of materials on the OLED panels it will manufacture for the upcoming iPhone 14 series depending on the model tiers.

iPhone 14 to sport different OLED panels

It will use its latest and most advanced material set for the higher tier iPhone 14 models, while it will use its prior generation set for the lower tier ones. The move is being made to save costs.

Samsung Display will be supplying OLED panels for all four models of the iPhone 14 series; rival LG Display will be supplying for two models, citing sources, the report said.

An OLED material set comprises dopant, host, prime and others used to form the red, green and blue pixels.

Samsung Display calls its material sets used on Samsung's Galaxy and Apple's iPhones the M series.

The South Korean display maker used its LT sets in 2017 for Apple's first OLED iPhone, the iPhone X and in 2018 iPhone XS. But starting in 2019 it began using its M series for panels supplied for Galaxy smartphones and iPhones.

Samsung’s OLED panels will feature on iPhone 14 series

Samsung Display will use its M11 material set for the standard 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch models in the iPhone 14 series.

These phones will have low-temperature polycrystalline silicon (LTPS) thin-film transistor (TFT) OLED panels, which are less advanced than the low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) TFT OLED panels used in the higher-tier models.

The two higher-tier models in the iPhone 14 series will use Samsung Display's M12 material set.

This same OLED material set is being used for the OLED panels on Samsung's upcoming foldable phones Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4.

Jio Is Ready To Roll Out Pan-India 5G: Here Is What You Need To Know

In the 7-day 5G auction, Reliance Jio came on top with a ₹88,078 investment and the acquisition of nearly half of all the available airwaves. And as you’d expect, the company has come forward with an announcement that it is going to launch the pan-India 5G rollout soon. It might kick off the works on Independence Day. 

Jio’s Pan-India 5G Auction Announcement

The newly appointed chairman of the company, Mr. Akash Ambani has said, "We will celebrate ‘Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav’ with a pan India 5G rollout. Jio is committed to offering world-class, affordable 5G and 5G-enabled services."

Jio envisions its 5G services will contribute to the country’s growth in “sectors like education, healthcare, agriculture, manufacturing, and e-Governance”.

It believes it can do so thanks to its deep fiber network, and the recently acquired “combination of low-band, mid-band, and mmWave spectrum”.

Meanwhile, its competitors like Airtel and Vi are yet to reveal their plans.

Airtel has acquired 19,867.8 MHz of airwaves for ₹43,084 crores and Vodafone Idea (Vi) has put in ₹18,799 crores to grab a 6,228 MHz share of the bandwidth. 

Not only those two but there is also a new player in the game — Adani Data Networks (Adani Group) which has put in ₹212 crore for 400 MHz of spectrum.  It, however, has said this is meant for private needs and not for competing in the consumer mobility space. 

So, in total 4 companies spent about 1.5 trillion rupees for 20-year 5G licenses and in the process have acquired about 71% of the offered 72 GHz airwaves.

“As soon as the spectrum auction ends, within a few days itself, we will allocate the auctions.

Reliance Jio and Airtel remain the two major players in the 5G spectrum bidding who have purchased multiple mid and high-frequency bands. Many in the telecom industry believe that the 5G market could be headed for a duopoly but the IT Minister shunned such beliefs and said, “Duopoly will not happen. The September reforms have resulted in good stability in the industry. We are looking at new players to enter the segment. There is going to be good healthy competition in the sector. BSNL will emerge as a good market balancer.”

5G is the latest standard in cellular connectivity that brings high-speed internet connectivity, increased bandwidth, low latency and ushers in several developments in IoT, AI-enabled platforms and more. With 5G, users will be able to get download speeds reaching over 10 Gbps which is almost 100 times faster than the current 4G LTE connectivity. In India, most 5G phones sold in the last few years support bands in the mid-frequency range and some also support high-frequency bands.

Day 7 of India's 5G auction is underway and we’ll know the final bid details as it closes in what is likely the final day of bidding.
