Budget 2023 could make these 3 tech products cheaper

Budget 2023 has been announced by the Union Minister of Finance, Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman. So, you may be wondering what’s cheaper, and what’s costlier. Well, 3 technology products that could be cheaper going forward are mobile phones, TV, and EVs.

Here’s what you need to know about Budget 2023 from a technology standpoint:

Cheaper tech products after Budget 2023

Budget 2023 tech

1. Mobile Phones

The government has announced cuts in customs duty on the import of certain items used in mobile phone manufacturing. Meanwhile, the previous relaxations in customs duty on the camera lens and parts of the camera module used in modern phones are being carried on for one more year. 

2. Televisions

In the custom duty rate changes (Section C.1 of the Indian Budget 2023-2024 PDF), there is mention of a 2.5-per cent reduction in basic customs duty on parts of open cells of TV panels.

3. EVs

This budget also keeps the customs duty on “specified capital goods/machinery for  manufacture of lithium-ion cells” that is used within electric cars and other electric vehicles.

In her speech, Smt. Sitharaman also attributes the Phased Manufacturing programme and other government initiatives to the growth in mobile phone production in India from 5.8 crore units (~18,900 crores in value) in 2014-15 to 31 crore units (more than 2,75,000 crores in value) in 2022-23. 

She envisions the new tax cuts in Budget 2023 could act as a tailwind for the respective product categories and sectors.

As you can see in the images above, the position of the noise-cancelling microphones has been changed. They are moved to the front on Ear 2. ANC performance could get a bump, not just because of this but also for the following reasons:

3 Nothing Ear 2 earbuds features (Rumoured)

Nothing Ear 2

1. Personalized ANC

This was the feature we were talking about above. The rumour is that the Nothing Ear 2 will allow the user to control the level of active noise cancellation. Now whether this means more ambient awareness at lower levels of ANC is something to be seen. 

2. Dual connectivity 

Nothing Ear 2 is rumoured to sport dual connectivity, otherwise called Bluetooth multipoint, which would let the buds simultaneously connect to two devices. 

3. Advanced EQ

A feature generally found on most earbuds could finally be available on Nothing Ear 2. The users could be able to calibrate the equalizer to match their taste.
