Tech Q&A Session - End of May 2021
The World of YouTube: Insights from a Tech Reviewer
As a tech reviewer, I have always been fascinated by the world of electronics and gadgets. From smartphones to laptops, cameras to monitors, I review them all to help my audience make informed decisions when it comes to purchasing new devices. In this article, I'll share some insights on how the YouTube algorithm works and why smartphone-related videos tend to get more traction than other types of content.
I've noticed that whenever I upload a video about smartphones, the views just pour in. Even with minimal lag, my videos can rack up hundreds of thousands of views in no time. This is because smartphones are just so ubiquitous and popular these days. People love them, and they want to know everything there is to know about the latest and greatest models.
On the other hand, other types of gadgets like laptops, cameras, or accessories tend to get fewer views, often by a factor of seven to ten times less than my smartphone videos. This is because smartphones are just so much more popular and widely used, even among younger generations who are always glued to their screens. As a result, the YouTube algorithm seems to favor content that is related to smartphones.
But what about other types of gadgets? Do I review them too? Yes, I do! In fact, I recently started reviewing some new monitors that I think are quite interesting. While they may not get as many views as my smartphone videos, I still enjoy sharing my thoughts and experiences with my audience. And who knows, maybe one day my monitor reviews will gain traction too.
However, if I'm being completely honest, even when I review smartphones, the views can be a bit disappointing at times. For example, I've noticed that new smartphone releases often get a lot of attention from viewers, but once the initial hype dies down, interest wanes and views plummet. This is especially true for budget-friendly options or accessories, which just don't seem to get as much love on YouTube.
That being said, I do try to mix things up by reviewing other types of gadgets, like TVs or laptops. These can be more interesting and nuanced than smartphones, and often require more in-depth analysis and comparison. While they may not get the same level of traction as my smartphone videos, I still enjoy sharing my thoughts and experiences with my audience.
One question that came up during our last Q&A session was whether I'm interested in electric vehicles (EVs). The answer is yes! As someone who loves technology and innovation, I think EVs are an exciting space to explore. While they may not be as widely available or affordable in India just yet, I believe that with the right charging solutions and infrastructure, we can see a significant growth in the adoption of EVs in our country.
However, there is one major hurdle that needs to be overcome: charging infrastructure. As someone who lives in a gated community, I've noticed that even in well-to-do neighborhoods like Hyderabad, there simply aren't enough public charging stations available. This makes owning an EV a bit of a challenge, as you need to have access to reliable and convenient charging options.
Another issue is the cost. EVs are still relatively expensive, especially when compared to their internal combustion engine counterparts. However, I believe that this will change in the coming years as technology improves and economies of scale come into play. With companies like Tesla already making waves with their affordable and high-performance EV models, I'm optimistic about the future of electric vehicles.
So what can we expect from the Indian EV market? While it's difficult to predict exactly how things will pan out, I think that the government needs to take a more proactive role in encouraging the adoption of EVs. This could involve implementing policies and incentives to encourage manufacturers to produce more affordable and accessible EV models, as well as investing in public charging infrastructure.
In conclusion, while smartphones may dominate my YouTube views, I'm excited about the potential for electric vehicles to revolutionize the way we travel. With the right combination of affordability, convenience, and government support, I believe that EVs can become a mainstream mode of transportation in India. Until then, I'll continue to share my thoughts and experiences with my audience, and maybe one day they'll be just as popular!
"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi guys this is ranjeet and welcome to tech q a session end of may 2021 and again a bunch of questions that i got from you will be answering that and guys if you're still not subscribed to the youtube channel hit that subscribe button so get on with this and the first question is unique i've taken a bunch of question mixed not just smartphone this is a chip related question we all know that we're having chip shortages so yogesh asked this question with the chip short it is will companies stop manufacturing multiple uh phones with some minor tweaks and releasing them again again particularly in the mid-range market in india yes uh yogesh yes there is a chip shortages and in fact if you notice this has affected to uh qualcomm mid-range smartphones quite a bit uh in fact qualcomm had introduced quite a few new mid-range what do you say chipsets but if you notice even in india we are simply getting a smart may even mid-range smartphones with older chipsets we are hardly seeing that that's because of the shortages and i think so uh qualcomm is having an issue uh with this one but i think so the media tech uh is not having that that's why we are seeing a lot of new smartphones and even some upcoming smartphones uh with the mediatek diamond city etc so yes uh but uh i doubt they will stop releasing what you say unnecessary same variants of the smartphones redmi real me everyone is just doing that the redmi note series what is that the note 10 pro note 10 pro max moto g's 40 g60 almost the same phone so yes this will continue this won't stop but this has affected qualcomm quite a bit if you notice the mid-range chipsets that we are getting uh we are not getting the latest mid-range chipsets that were announced by uh qualcomm due to this chip shortages okay this is by aryan uh 2000 what is it 20 0002 he says what are your thoughts on the asus zenfone 8 series now that it's coming to india can i make a big ripple here it's price well european pricing is good he says we don't have any phones with ip68 and such specs for the theme feature rich os uh i mean i'm interested in the zenfone 8 the smaller variant because yes uh we these days we are not getting compact flagship android smartphones so in that aspect the zenfone 8 series looks good yes we know it will be launching in india and even the flip flop that's bigger one but as of now asus hasn't given any specific date so i'm assuming some time in end of june depends on this uh covert situation or in july it should launch but i'm particularly looking at the compact one that's the asus zenfone 8 personally next question is from derek he says hi ranjit when it comes to the spo2 monitoring on budget fitness bands like the me band five he says one plus band is it accurate enough to use it to like an oximeter or just a fancy gimmick uh i actually had answered this question in the earlier q a also but this is a very important question that's why i'm taking it back again i will not replace these what do you say fitness brands that have spo2 uh i will rely on oxy meter for critical health guys don't play around with your health these spor2meters uh vary a lot they are not super super accurate guys so i will personally rely on oxymeter for spo2 levels that's my frank opinion uh this is by gautam he's asking how far are we in incorporating e7 or a similar laptop and why hasn't it been done gotham you're mistaken we actually have sims in laptop but we generally find it only on higher end laptops business laptops they have a sim slot for example uh hp a couple of months ago i had got a hp laptop uh it was with amd ryzen pro series that's for business and it actually had a sim slot so yes we do get it so again shop around but generally business laptops have that it's generally not found in consumer laptops uh this is by uh mr joshi he's asking what's your opinion on the upcoming oneplus not ce 5g has oneplus lost its originality let's see when it comes it's going to be announced very soon a lot of rumors and i feel this smartphone will be very close to actually the realme x7 max so it's going to be very similar but let's see if again uh one plus charges quite a bit of premium and this is one or two 5g bands that'll be interesting and will they try to different by just giving one or two 5g brands that would be interesting thing uh this is by uh he says i have 100 megabit bsl fiber connection and get about 110 megabits online i usually get about 50 or 60 megabit laptop through wifi but when on my mobiles and ipads i only get about 20 to 30 megabit what is this mobiles are redmi note 8 samsung a52 redmi note 8 pro uh orbital i would suggest that you use the five gigahertz wi-fi band if you're using the five gigahertz wi-fi bank you will easily get that 110 etc for example uh i have a router it's a gigabit on smartphones in fact i can touch about 450 to anywhere about 550 megabit also but it's on the five guys when i put it back on the 2.4 gigahertz even for my gigabit connection it just reaches about 56 to about 16 megabit so uh configure your router for five gigahertz band and again make sure your smartphone and whatever are connecting on the five gigahertz band not under 2.4 gigahertz wi-fi uh this is why uh mr ratz he's asking any chance of budget-centering gaming smartphones he asks uh honor play was one of the most amazing of that category and it was set a decent sold in a decent quantity and poco f1 was launched do you think any brands will consider to make a phone like play in today's market and actually are getting for example the poco x3 pro is a definitely a gaming-centric smartphone the first attention towards that is gaming and yes we will be getting some other smartphones also i don't know there's a rumor there is a new smartphone that is going to call launch in june again i don't know because i don't want to speculate let's see but i've heard that this is going to be a gaming centric smartphone and will come at a very aggressive price launching sometime in joke let's see if it happens i'll try to cover it if it happens uh this is by uh rahul he's uh saying samsung is partnering with amd for this exynos chipset and working closely with google for fuchsia whose os and android are helping google to upgrade its hardware game do you think if samsung continues its path can beat apple by creating integrating hardware and software rahul as of now competing with apple i i think it's a long way if they do about it the first thing the partnership with samsung and amd i'm hoping is that we know we're going to get 10 new chips next year i'm hoping it should be able to compete these exynos chipsets new exynos chipsets with qualcomm we know the gpu is better the arduino gpu is better with the snapdragon socs hopefully with this amd partnership that samsung is doing uh it becomes better than qualcomm or gives a very tough competition to qualcomm uh apple i would say still there are a couple of generations ahead in the soc design but again apple is also having thermal issues the new iphone 12 etc if you stress them a lot have thermal heating issues so it's not like apple is not having uh issues so but yeah this is nice move uh but let's keep our fingers crossed guys we hear a lot of marketing fluff and stuff but when we actually see the product it might have battery life issues or heating issues etc so they need to solve all this to compete i would say uh this is by sean he's asking do you think poco will ditch me you want shift towards more stock android like ui uh experience in the near future since they are more focused on gaming and performance oriented devices like the poco x3 pro and the upcoming poco f3 gt a lighter um ui may create wonders from there yes i frankly feel if they go with the lighter ui closer to stock etc it will be better for poco but let's see if they do it i'm giving my fingers cross for that because essentially yes poco is a xiaomi company and xiaomi uses miui but if they break that loop i will be very happy about that because we know me ui and the bugs for me this is by aman he's uh asking this is a very interesting youtube related question um and many of when he posted that question many of you replied that he want an answer posted that's thumbs up etc so i'll take it he's asking how tough is to sustain as unbiased youtuber in india in 2021 very interesting question uh i would say be ready to get blacklisted and banned with some companies and be ready to buy some devices if you don't get review minutes and stuff if you are mentally ready for that then you can survive but if you expect and are at the mercy of the company for its review nets or whatever that way the pr can bully you and whatever so i would say keep an open mind and be ready i would say that some brands will blacklist you or ban new and you might have to uh source those products etc on yourself for example when i started youtube almost for the first four years i had to buy all devices now after 11 years almost 10 year 10 and a half years it's sort of back to that still now again i have to buy a lot of devices because some of the companies have blacklisted and banned me but it's just okay anyways uh moving to the next one this is by amit looking at the current ad situation in mid-range android phones what do you feel uh is going to change anytime soon or it's going to get even worse uh ad situation in mid-range smartphone this is an interesting topic in fact i had made a dedicated video about this a month ago i leave that in the description and also i try to add a card about that and yes it's gone pretty bad it started with xiaomi a couple of years ago almost two years ago uh but now we are getting it has become bad and now even samsung has started uh giving sort of ads stuff in their mid-range smartphones that's the m series a series and stuff and what they are no no some of the brands are doing is that with ot updates they are actually inserting new apps etc so you just can't uh if you want that update you know that junkware will be installed on your smartphone so these uh sorts of tactics have uh become really bad and i think so this is going to continue for some time uh i hope it stops you guys complain about it guys because we all the me fanboys etc show me find the fanbots defended that and see what is the situation now every other brand is actually trying to include ad some sort of ads or other except motorola and nokia i would say an asus but a source is no longer there in the mid-range smartphone market so i would count it out but yeah i don't think so this is going to change any time with xiaomi samson and real me that's what it is guys uh this is uh by atul he is asking oneplus 7t got a new os update but still there are so many bugs which they claim to resolve but they haven't call in interface delay display frequency issues so what do you think is the next big competitor for samsung in android section since oneplus is no longer a customs customer-centric product i think so you frame the question wrong uh you're failing uh since oneplus has lost its game you say who's the next competitor to oneplus this is an interesting question uh and there can be a few for example i feel xiaomi has a chance but xiaomi being typical xiaomi screws up things they'll want to launch so many devices so don't they don't try to make one good perfect device the example is this me 11x i was testing this smartphone used it for two weeks excellent smartphone for the price snapdragon 870 build quality is decent feels nice etc but they got some of the basics around the volume rocker wobbles the build quality is an issue and basic things like calls the proximary sensor is so bad that it actually annoyed me when i was testing this so i wanted to pull away myself because the proximity sensor wrong so it's typical xiaomi they try to launch so many devices every 15 20 day they want to launch one device if xiaomi can concentrate and build better devices then i feel they can give a tough uh what do you say fight to one plus and again they have to tweak the miui their love with me why is destroying them you know how buggy is me you are the next brand that i feel can compete is real me again some of the realme products are very good but some but some of the other smartphones are like total dark so again they have to get their things right and the third this is new player uh can't say how it will be but i feel iko has a very good chance i am pretty impressed with the iq7 what they are able to do uh that uh i'm not talking about the legend i'm talking about the regular ico seven that comes with the snapdragon 808 the pricing is really good uh the phone is good the camera performance is amazing so i'm looking forward to see what iq does in the future and if they continue the path and improve the ui a little bit i feel the improv uh ui can be improved a little bit uh it can be a good what do you say value flagship and can compete with what do you say a one plus but let's see how it goes okay let's move to the next one this is by lalat he is asking does it make sense to buy one-year-old use flagship smartphone since prices of new flagships are skyrocketing uh these uh days we can easily get uh at 30 40 or cheaper and works perfectly fine if you go with the last year's flagship yes you can certainly go with that for example the last year's flagships come with the snapdragon 865 and still i would say it's excellent excellent processor you don't have to get snapdragon 88 uh to be frank for regular daily usage so if you can get a good smartphone with the last year's process don't go with the exynos 990 that was not good but yeah the snapdragon 865 is actually still very very good uh but only thing i would say if you're buying a one year old flagship device is look at the update situation uh how is the brand updating that phone uh is it uh updates are good or not because lately what i'm seeing is some of the brands are adding unnecessary bugs with the update to make the device out there and for example the oneplus 7 uh many users are still complaining uh the update that came about two months ago crippled the phones so again be aware of that if you look at the phone and the update situation is good then certainly you can look at it uh but i can be very careful when you are updating older phones more than one and a half years ago be skeptical about the updates because you think every update will improve the performance of the phone but the reality is very very different some of the updates actually slow down the phone and parks so that way you have to be careful anyways let's move to the next one this is by uh juice he's asking regarding what he said about 5g bands since the testing has begun it is rumored that most of the networking providers might provide only 5g plants that provide network at longer distance so is it necessary for smartphone brands to add more 5g bands in india uh the thing is that with 5g uh let me talk a little bit about the spectrum it's all about spectrum and if you notice uh in india when the spectrum was sold to these whatever vendors like atl jio whatever there was something known as universal spectrum also that means for example they bought the spectrum of 1800 megahertz 2300 megahertz it's not tied that they can provide only 3g or 4g services on that they can even provide actually 5g services and in fact with dynamic allocation dss they can actually do that so uh for example uh uh we have providers like what jio we know is gonna get 5g we will bring 5g l10 is going to bring 5g vodafone is going to bring 5g we don't know about bsl so that he they may also bring 5g so there might be about four different providers that will might be bringing 5g yes some of my and they might opt for newer bands for 5g specific uni for 5g but some of the others might using the might use the existing spectrum that they have that they might be using for 4g that can be allocated for 5g so you might say yes that's great but even if your smartphone has to catch that 5g what do you say signal even the existing let's say 1800 or 2300 megahertz man it should have that radio antenna for that 1800 or 2300 megahertz map that is why i'm shouting at top of my head having just one or two 5g bands simply does not make sense and it's cheating so if you want because many of the providers for example vote up furnace as a crunch of crash they might try to reuse the existing spectrum that they have for 5g and this can be dynamically done actually and in fact providers have done that earlier also with 3g and 4g so the network can dynamically allocate the same uh what do you say frequency for 5g users also but your smartphone hardware should support that that's why i would say you need uh actually uh n number of what you say 5gb and just having one or two 5g bands will not suffice to you and let's say uh you have three or four providers of having 5g but they might use all of four might use different bands whatever frequencies some might use what 2500 other might use 2300 other might use 1800 so if your smartphone does not have that radio band how will you get that signal anyways i won't argue about it but it's a sham i would say smartphone brands giving just one band or two bands of 5g and calling it a 5g capable smartphone anyways let's move to the next one this is by aman he's asking is tech journalism only meant mobile phone reviews nowadays at this mode it more or less seems like that there are so many gadgets but only few are talking about it what are your thoughts about it i mean yes i get your point but the thing is that in india specifically the traction of smartphone is almost 5 to 10 times more compared to other products if you just recall about last week or two or three videos ago i had actually posted the video of the asus rochi uh x13 flow which is one of the most powerful 13-inch laptops in the world and see the amount of views that it got not even a lag but if it was a new smartphone the similar video would have got four or five lakhs for for example uh this is the case with other accessories and stuff also what i've reviewed so smartphones get a traction of almost seven to ten times compared to other gadgets but i do try to include the stuff for example i'm actually currently testing a very interesting monitor uh personally i'm liking it so i'll try to post a video about that but i don't know how many views it will get i also have one more tv that's a budget online tv and i feel the performance is good so i do try to put out some non-smartphone videos also from time to time but the simple fact is that the traction that you get on a smartphone related video is seven to ten times more comparable to other products that's a simple fact guys and the youtube algorithm revolves like that if your video if you're putting content on video that does not get a lot of views your channel will simply not grow that's the frack answer anyways let's move to the last question this is by dinesh he is asking are you interested in electronic vehicles i think so yeah you are implying electric vehicles uh if yes can you share your thoughts on why isn't there any considerable growth in ev market in india i'm just amazed by the ford f-150 lightning that was just launched that was launched in the us uh very interesting question i am actually interested in evs that is electric vehicles i want to own an electric car but right now if you look at it in india very few options that we have we have the nexon ev but again ev's command a significant premium i would say in india if you also forget about the premium the problem is where do you charge for example i live in one of the best what do you say gated societies in hyderabad it's a very big society but still and even in this society which is rated among the best in hyderabad we don't have uh ev charging slots in our society so if i buy an eevee where will i charge this is a big problem i would say for a lot of people who lives live in flats or of course if you have your own bungalow or something that's not an issue but i feel in india most of the people lives in flats and even in bigger societies premium societies we don't have options like that so i think so the first thing is we need to have solutions for charging that are practical and second thing is the cost the cost of evs are actually very very high in india for example there are rumors that tesla model 3 will be coming to india up this year hopefully i'm just hoping and let's say the model 3 is about 40 000 us dollars but i'm hearing that by the time it comes to india the costing of that car will be close to about 60 to 70 lakhs and you see the price gap difference so unless the charging solution becomes way easier in flags everywhere outdoor etcetera we have fast charging solutions and the cost of the uh evs uh come down i don't think so there'll be a huge adoption i feel that eventually the cost will come down because uh players indian players are jumping into it for example tata has done an incredible job with the nexon eevee i feel uh if you move a couple of years uh forward i'm pretty sure they'll be releasing a lot more ev vehicles and the cost will come down a little bit but the charging solution also has to be seamless uh because if you just can't charge to your ears properly you can't expect a person like me uh just for charging has to go go about 10 kilometers from here and put the what do you say vehicle to charge for three hours four hours wait over there and come back so these are some of the things that need to be solved i feel uh government has to put up a lot more eevee what do you say solutions and also very big societies and communities they should take an initiative of having a separate section for ev charging once this is evolved i feel even evs will take over it's just a matter of time i personally want to uh actually own a uh but again the charging solution is something that is a big question mark to me and again the costing also is a big question hopefully this will get ironed in the next couple of years eventually even is the future but i think so it will take a little bit of time in india so anyways guys these were some of the tech uh related questions that we got in this q a session uh so we'll be doing this again sometime in june so if you're still not subscribed to the youtube channel hit that subscribe button anyways guys this is ranji take care catch you laterhi guys this is ranjeet and welcome to tech q a session end of may 2021 and again a bunch of questions that i got

bugs for me this is by aman he's uh asking this is a very interesting youtube related question um and many of when he posted that question many of you replied that he want an answer posted that's thumbs up etc so i'll take it he's asking how tough is to sustain as unbiased youtuber in india in 2021 very interesting question uh i would say be ready to get blacklisted and banned with some companies and be ready to buy some devices if you don't get review minutes and stuff if you are mentally ready for that then you can survive but if you expect and are at the mercy of the company for its review nets or whatever that way the pr can bully you and whatever so i would say keep an open mind and be ready i would say that some brands will blacklist you or ban new and you might have to uh source those products etc on yourself for example when i started youtube almost for the first four years i had to buy all devices now after 11 years almost 10 year 10 and a half years it's sort of back to that still now again i have to buy a lot of devices because some of the companies have blacklisted and banned me but it's just okay anyways uh moving to the next one this is by amit looking at the current ad situation in mid-range android phones what do you feel uh is going to change anytime soon or it's going to get even worse uh ad situation in mid-range smartphone this is an interesting topic in fact i had made a dedicated video about this a month ago i leave that in the description and also i try to add a card about that and yes it's gone pretty bad it started with xiaomi a couple of years ago almost two years ago uh but now we are getting it has become bad and now even samsung has started uh giving sort of ads stuff in their mid-range smartphones that's the m series a series and stuff and what they are no no some of the brands are doing is that with ot updates they are actually inserting new apps etc so you just can't uh if you want that update you know that junkware will be installed on your smartphone so these uh sorts of tactics have uh become really bad and i think so this is going to continue for some time uh i hope it stops you guys complain about it guys because we all the me fanboys etc show me find the fanbots defended that and see what is the situation now every other brand is actually trying to include ad some sort of ads or other except motorola and nokia i would say an asus but a source is no longer there in the mid-range smartphone market so i would count it out but yeah i don't think so this is going to change any time with xiaomi samson and real me that's what it is guys uh this is uh by atul he is asking oneplus 7t got a new os update but still there are so many bugs which they claim to resolve but they haven't call in interface delay display frequency issues so what do you think is the next big competitor for samsung in android section since oneplus is no longer a customs customer-centric product i think so you frame the question wrong uh you're failing uh since oneplus has lost its game you say who's the next competitor to oneplus this is an interesting question uh and there can be a few for example i feel xiaomi has a chance but xiaomi being typical xiaomi screws up things they'll want to launch so many devices so don't they don't try to make one good perfect device the example is this me 11x i was testing this smartphone used it for two weeks excellent smartphone for the price snapdragon 870 build quality is decent feels nice etc but they got some of the basics around the volume rocker wobbles the build quality is an issue and basic things like calls the proximary sensor is so bad that it actually annoyed me when i was testing this so i wanted to pull away myself because the proximity sensor wrong so it's typical xiaomi they try to launch so many devices every 15 20 day they want to launch one device if xiaomi can concentrate and build better devices then i feel they can give a tough uh what do you say fight to one plus and again they have to tweak the miui their love with me why is destroying them you know how buggy is me you are the next brand that i feel can compete is real me again some of the realme products are very good but some but some of the other smartphones are like total dark so again they have to get their things right and the third this is new player uh can't say how it will be but i feel iko has a very good chance i am pretty impressed with the iq7 what they are able to do uh that uh i'm not talking about the legend i'm talking about the regular ico seven that comes with the snapdragon 808 the pricing is really good uh the phone is good the camera performance is amazing so i'm looking forward to see what iq does in the future and if they continue the path and improve the ui a little bit i feel the improv uh ui can be improved a little bit uh it can be a good what do you say value flagship and can compete with what do you say a one plus but let's see how it goes okay let's move to the next one this is by lalat he is asking does it make sense to buy one-year-old use flagship smartphone since prices of new flagships are skyrocketing uh these uh days we can easily get uh at 30 40 or cheaper and works perfectly fine if you go with the last year's flagship yes you can certainly go with that for example the last year's flagships come with the snapdragon 865 and still i would say it's excellent excellent processor you don't have to get snapdragon 88 uh to be frank for regular daily usage so if you can get a good smartphone with the last year's process don't go with the exynos 990 that was not good but yeah the snapdragon 865 is actually still very very good uh but only thing i would say if you're buying a one year old flagship device is look at the update situation uh how is the brand updating that phone uh is it uh updates are good or not because lately what i'm seeing is some of the brands are adding unnecessary bugs with the update to make the device out there and for example the oneplus 7 uh many users are still complaining uh the update that came about two months ago crippled the phones so again be aware of that if you look at the phone and the update situation is good then certainly you can look at it uh but i can be very careful when you are updating older phones more than one and a half years ago be skeptical about the updates because you think every update will improve the performance of the phone but the reality is very very different some of the updates actually slow down the phone and parks so that way you have to be careful anyways let's move to the next one this is by uh juice he's asking regarding what he said about 5g bands since the testing has begun it is rumored that most of the networking providers might provide only 5g plants that provide network at longer distance so is it necessary for smartphone brands to add more 5g bands in india uh the thing is that with 5g uh let me talk a little bit about the spectrum it's all about spectrum and if you notice uh in india when the spectrum was sold to these whatever vendors like atl jio whatever there was something known as universal spectrum also that means for example they bought the spectrum of 1800 megahertz 2300 megahertz it's not tied that they can provide only 3g or 4g services on that they can even provide actually 5g services and in fact with dynamic allocation dss they can actually do that so uh for example uh uh we have providers like what jio we know is gonna get 5g we will bring 5g l10 is going to bring 5g vodafone is going to bring 5g we don't know about bsl so that he they may also bring 5g so there might be about four different providers that will might be bringing 5g yes some of my and they might opt for newer bands for 5g specific uni for 5g but some of the others might using the might use the existing spectrum that they have that they might be using for 4g that can be allocated for 5g so you might say yes that's great but even if your smartphone has to catch that 5g what do you say signal even the existing let's say 1800 or 2300 megahertz man it should have that radio antenna for that 1800 or 2300 megahertz map that is why i'm shouting at top of my head having just one or two 5g bands simply does not make sense and it's cheating so if you want because many of the providers for example vote up furnace as a crunch of crash they might try to reuse the existing spectrum that they have for 5g and this can be dynamically done actually and in fact providers have done that earlier also with 3g and 4g so the network can dynamically allocate the same uh what do you say frequency for 5g users also but your smartphone hardware should support that that's why i would say you need uh actually uh n number of what you say 5gb and just having one or two 5g bands will not suffice to you and let's say uh you have three or four providers of having 5g but they might use all of four might use different bands whatever frequencies some might use what 2500 other might use 2300 other might use 1800 so if your smartphone does not have that radio band how will you get that signal anyways i won't argue about it but it's a sham i would say smartphone brands giving just one band or two bands of 5g and calling it a 5g capable smartphone anyways let's move to the next one this is by aman he's asking is tech journalism only meant mobile phone reviews nowadays at this mode it more or less seems like that there are so many gadgets but only few are talking about it what are your thoughts about it i mean yes i get your point but the thing is that in india specifically the traction of smartphone is almost 5 to 10 times more compared to other products if you just recall about last week or two or three videos ago i had actually posted the video of the asus rochi uh x13 flow which is one of the most powerful 13-inch laptops in the world and see the amount of views that it got not even a lag but if it was a new smartphone the similar video would have got four or five lakhs for for example uh this is the case with other accessories and stuff also what i've reviewed so smartphones get a traction of almost seven to ten times compared to other gadgets but i do try to include the stuff for example i'm actually currently testing a very interesting monitor uh personally i'm liking it so i'll try to post a video about that but i don't know how many views it will get i also have one more tv that's a budget online tv and i feel the performance is good so i do try to put out some non-smartphone videos also from time to time but the simple fact is that the traction that you get on a smartphone related video is seven to ten times more comparable to other products that's a simple fact guys and the youtube algorithm revolves like that if your video if you're putting content on video that does not get a lot of views your channel will simply not grow that's the frack answer anyways let's move to the last question this is by dinesh he is asking are you interested in electronic vehicles i think so yeah you are implying electric vehicles uh if yes can you share your thoughts on why isn't there any considerable growth in ev market in india i'm just amazed by the ford f-150 lightning that was just launched that was launched in the us uh very interesting question i am actually interested in evs that is electric vehicles i want to own an electric car but right now if you look at it in india very few options that we have we have the nexon ev but again ev's command a significant premium i would say in india if you also forget about the premium the problem is where do you charge for example i live in one of the best what do you say gated societies in hyderabad it's a very big society but still and even in this society which is rated among the best in hyderabad we don't have uh ev charging slots in our society so if i buy an eevee where will i charge this is a big problem i would say for a lot of people who lives live in flats or of course if you have your own bungalow or something that's not an issue but i feel in india most of the people lives in flats and even in bigger societies premium societies we don't have options like that so i think so the first thing is we need to have solutions for charging that are practical and second thing is the cost the cost of evs are actually very very high in india for example there are rumors that tesla model 3 will be coming to india up this year hopefully i'm just hoping and let's say the model 3 is about 40 000 us dollars but i'm hearing that by the time it comes to india the costing of that car will be close to about 60 to 70 lakhs and you see the price gap difference so unless the charging solution becomes way easier in flags everywhere outdoor etcetera we have fast charging solutions and the cost of the uh evs uh come down i don't think so there'll be a huge adoption i feel that eventually the cost will come down because uh players indian players are jumping into it for example tata has done an incredible job with the nexon eevee i feel uh if you move a couple of years uh forward i'm pretty sure they'll be releasing a lot more ev vehicles and the cost will come down a little bit but the charging solution also has to be seamless uh because if you just can't charge to your ears properly you can't expect a person like me uh just for charging has to go go about 10 kilometers from here and put the what do you say vehicle to charge for three hours four hours wait over there and come back so these are some of the things that need to be solved i feel uh government has to put up a lot more eevee what do you say solutions and also very big societies and communities they should take an initiative of having a separate section for ev charging once this is evolved i feel even evs will take over it's just a matter of time i personally want to uh actually own a uh but again the charging solution is something that is a big question mark to me and again the costing also is a big question hopefully this will get ironed in the next couple of years eventually even is the future but i think so it will take a little bit of time in india so anyways guys these were some of the tech uh related questions that we got in this q a session uh so we'll be doing this again sometime in june so if you're still not
