HMD Global Teases Launch of 'Charged Up' Nokia Smartphone for May 29

HMD Global Teases Launch of 'Charged Up' Nokia Smartphone for May 29
HMD Global has started teasing a new Nokia phone launch for May 29. The Finnish company uses hashtag #ChargedUp to suggest a handset or multiple handsets with a large battery. We could assume the awaited global variant of the Nokia X6 as the showstopper of the event. The first Nokia X series model comes with Quick Charge 3.0 that helps deliver 50 percent of power in 30 minutes. Some previous speculations, however, hinted at the arrival of the Nokia 2, Nokia 3, and Nokia 5 refreshes that are likely to upgrade the user experience over last year's respective models. The new teaser emerges just in a week's time after the company raised $100 million(roughly Rs. 677 crores) to boost its growth.
According to the teaser posted from the official Nokia Mobile account on Twitter, the May 29 launch is happening in Moscow at 7:40pm MSK (10:10pm IST). The teaser doesn't confirm any particular model that HMD is set to launch this time. However, the #ChargedUp hashtag suggests that the company is pointing to an enhanced battery or some charging-related improvements. A formal invite previously confirmed that HMD Global CEO Florian Seiche, CMO Pekka Rantala, and CPO Juho Sarvikas will be present at the venue.
If we take a look at all the previous rumours and leaks, the May 29 launch could be the best place for the Nokia X6 global variant that has been speculated following its China launch. HMD Global's Sarvikas suggested the development of the global variant by hosting a Twitter poll last week that was aimed at determining the demand of the handset in global markets. "Getting a lot of traffic on this so let's ask around. Should we bring Nokia X6 to other markets too," the executive had tweeted while kicking off the poll.
The Nokia X6 price starts at CNY 1,299 (approximately Rs. 13,800) for the 4GB RAM/ 32GB storage variant, while its 4GB RAM/ 64GB storage variant is priced at CNY 1,499 (approximately Rs. 16,000) and the 6GB RAM/ 64GB storage variant at CNY 1,699 (approximately Rs. 18,100). All these variants went on sale for the first time earlier this week for which the company reportedly garnered nearly 700,000 registrations. But the entire stock vanished in 10 seconds.

Hotstar Announces On Air with AIB Season 3 Release Date in New Trailer

Hotstar  has announced the release date for On Air with AIB season 3 in a new trailer: it’s out September 24. The news comedy show is hosted by the  All India Bakchod  sketch quartet of Tanmay Bhat, Gursimran Khamba, Rohan Joshi, and Ashish Shakya. As before, the show will release new episodes every week, though it’s unclear how many there will be given the shifting nature of the series in past years. After trying out a dual-language approach with the first season in 2015 – Bhat and Khamba in Hindi, and Joshi and Shakya in English – where two episodes tackling the same topics were released each week for a total of 20 episodes, On Air with AIB moved to a new format with its second season in 2017, releasing three episodes a week. Season 2 had 40 episodes in total. While one main episode, usually about 20 minutes in length and released every Monday, discussed topical news and dove into issues it deemed prevalent (the segment was called ‘Deep Dive’), a second shorter ep...

Flipkart-Walmart Deal Announcement Sees the US Retailer's Shares Slide

Flipkart-Walmart Deal Announcement Sees the US Retailer's Shares Slide Walmart  said on Wednesday it will  pay $16 billion (roughly Rs. 1.07 lakh crores) for a roughly 77 percent stake in Indian e-commerce firm  Flipkart , the US retailer's largest-ever deal as it competes with  Amazon.com  in an important growth market. Shares of Walmart fell 3 percent. The company warned it expects the deal to reduce fiscal 2019 earnings by 25-30 cents per share if it closes in the second quarter. It also expects Indian investments to shave 60 cents per share from earnings in fiscal 2020. Walmart's acquisition opens a new front in its battle with Amazon, which had expressed interest in making a competing offer. Amazon holds about 27 percent of India's burgeoning e-commerce market, according to Euromonitor, where Walmart only operates 21 cash-and-carry wholesale stores in the country that sell to businesses. The deal probably will not do much to change market s...
