Tech Q&A Session - End of November 2021

Google's Decision to Not Bring Pixel 6 to India: A Missed Opportunity?

In recent times, there has been much buzz around Google's decision not to bring the Pixel 6 to India. The phone was initially expected to make its way to the country, but it seems that Google is taking a different approach. According to various sources, including Tech enthusiasts, Google India is ignoring them when it comes to bringing in new flagships.

The question on everyone's mind is, what options do we have left if we want a great flagship Android smartphone? Apart from the full series, there are very few choices available, and one of those is an Exynos variant that many people don't want to buy. We also had the OnePlus 9 Pro, but that's no longer the original OnePlus that we know.

So, what does this mean for Google India? It seems that they could have brought in the Pixel 6 as a pre-order model, similar to what Xiaomi did with their ROBO vacuum cleaner. This would have allowed them to gauge demand and sell the required number of units. Instead, it seems that Google is taking a risk by not bringing in the phone.

Meanwhile, another question on everyone's mind is whether we will get Pixel-like image processing using Gcam on other Android phones? The answer is yes, you can use Gcam on other smartphones, and it definitely improves the image quality. However, it won't be exactly like the Pixel camera because new Pixels have access to some hardware features of the NPU and other enhancements that make a difference.

When it comes to downloading Gcam APKs from unknown sites, experts advise against it. Instead, you can try googling around on XDA Developers and similar reputable websites for safe downloads. The community is thriving over there, and it's generally considered safe to use.

Gopro 9 DJI Osmo 2 vs DJI Osmo Action: Which One Reigns Supreme?

In a recent discussion with Tech enthusiasts, the question of whether the Gopro 9 is better than the DJI Osmo 2 or the DJI Osmo Action came up. According to eaters and tourists, they have actually used both cameras and can tell you that while the image quality of the DJI action 2 beats the gopro hero 9 in some areas, the Gopro has a lot more accessories and is more rugged.

In their opinion, the DJI action 2 is better for its wider sensor and improved editing capabilities. However, they also acknowledge that the Gopro 9 has its perks when it comes to accessories and durability. Ultimately, they will be using both cameras, but the DJI action 2 will be their main camera.

Additionally, there were questions about back bike accessories, reviews, and writing gear covered by Geeky Ranjit in his second channel. The video will be posted soon, so keep an eye out for it.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi guys this is ranjit and welcome to the tech q a session for end of november and i've selected about 20 odd questions that were from twitter and got some pretty interesting questions also just not related to smartphones even laptops some biking game gopros etc so let's have a look at it and the first question that i got is from ca hiton he says why nowadays we don't see compact and slim phones all are coming up with large phones where 100 users just not possible plus they are bulky too i feel this can be a game changer since professionals like me don't consume much media i need your views on this see then i get your point where from where you are getting but realize that 95 of the smartphone sold in india apart from iphones it's mostly android phones and if a photo has a less capacity battery people will simply ignore it let's say if you want a slim phone or something like that sleek you might have to put about 3 500 milliamp hour battery or something but people just seeing that specs of 3 500 milliamp hour battery will just disregard that phone that's the reason these days we are seeing uh phones above 4 five thousand even six thousand milliamp hour and i don't think so this uh trend will reverse because that market of very slim phones with the low capacity battery is very very low uh that's my frank opinion anyways let's move to the next one this is by chitra ghosh ital and vodafone further increase their tariff plans this seems that india will no longer be the owner of the cheapest data plan in the world and i've got similar questions regarding this yes later and we both have now actually increased their mobile plans and guys this was eventually going to happen if you noticed before what jio came how many network providers were there i just lost count of it also because uh before jio came i also had an air cell sim that is no longer there and that's the case with a lot of providers now the big market is there between jio and atl and that uh v and i have what you say for uh idea small uh group i would say so ital has always been telling that uh the average revenue per user has to increase to be sustainable and now they have increased it and now they say that the average revenue per user will be about 200 rupees and they plan to increase it about 300 rupees so eventually this was going to happen italian vodafone has done that now eventually uh jio will also do it it's just a matter of time when next month they'll do or after two months in fact if i recall jio had increased their annual plans because uh i've put my secondary sim now on my iphone 13 pro and recently i generally charge for the full one year with the jio one and if i recall last year i had recharged for 1600 odd rupees or something like that but now the same recharge that is for one year full recharge and daily i get 1.5 gigabytes i think so i paid above 2100 or something like that so already yes prices are increased and this is going to further increase because now these providers know jio is there and atl is there these are the two big players and we don't have that much competition so the average revenue per user is definitely going to increase and yes jio will also eventually increase the data that's the reality guys sad reality but it won't be as bad prior to jio what do you say when jio came there for even let's say two gigabytes or five gigabytes of data we had to pay through our nose that will not come but yes the average recharge uh pricing will increase uh let's move to the next one this is by taron said uh hi ranjit bhai hi tarant uh can we expect smartphone prices uh will decrease anytime near uh future or uh the hike uh or will the hike like this only uh i don't think so we'll get too many hikes now already the prices of the smartphones if you recall have hiked uh considerably in india due to the gst and the covert situation because of the logistics and all these things uh but i don't think so the pricing of the smartphones will come down i have said this earlier also earlier we used to get very good mid-range phones in the price band of about 12 to 14 000 but now that has increased in the range of about 16 to 19 000 uh so don't expect the pricing to calm down that's my frank opinion anyways let's move to the next one this is my jitender uh this is a funny one hi ranjit may be funny or a different question why girls or women don't ask you take related questions is it that you don't have female followers or women don't ask related questions what are your thoughts on this one this is a very interesting one i i check the google what do you say youtube stats and i'm just about six and a half odd percent our female audience according to the analytics of google on my channel so yeah majority are male oriented ones and i think so girls do not ask that many questions i'll give you an example because recently if you recall i purchased a bike in fact i put a new channel um that is known as gigi ranchi the writes and vlogs and for past 40 45 days i was watching a lot of bike videos and particularly about that honda cb 350 my wife noticed that for a month why are you spending so many time that much time watching hundreds and hundreds of video on this particular bike if you like it why don't you just go out and buy it i think so women they make a decision very easily if they want to buy it they buy it it's not like us who like need validation and watch things again and again i think so that's the whole psychology i i think the female followers or whatever if they like something they just go out and buy but we i are the curious kind i guess we need that validation so we keep checking stuff again and again again again to validate if it's right or not i think so i might be wrong but that's what i think that's i just recalled my wife just simply said why are you wasting so much time on watching this bike videos if you like that bike why don't you goddamn go and buy it simple but yeah eventually i did that anyways let's move to the next one this is by uh na rule uh is there any chances of apple pay coming in india like we have samsung pay it would be great if apple pay launches in india yes i'm also surprised why apple did not launch it maybe the market is not that big uh that's why they must have not launched it because they can easily do that so it's just a matter of time i would say and apple if they take india seriously they would do it but god knows when will that happen uh this is by sahil uh he says there are some leaks that the galax rc tab 8 ultra is going to be of 14 inches as you use the tab s7 plus what do you think about the screen size yes i actually use this this is the tab s7 plus as my primary tablet because of the amoled screen and i mostly use it for media consumption excellent for that uh yes i've also heard rumors that the tab 8 might go up to 14 inches and i think so that's too big because this is actually perfect size 12.4 inches neither too big neither small uh so let's see what uh samsung is doing with this ultra one maybe with the 14 inch form factor they are trying to make it like a laptop replacement so let's see if they try to do something different because just as a 14 inch tablet it's just too big in my opinion but let's see what they do and if it launches officially in india this is by arthur how do you think the tech genre on youtube is evolving you found phones to be repetitive yes do you think people like to explore new aspects of tech just to learn instead of watching a few videos before buying a specific device are you thinking of bringing anything new to the uh table earth if you recall earlier i used to cover a lot of other tech related stuff not just smartphones even nasa pc builds and stuff but what i've noticed is that in india specifically most of the people uh majority of the people i would say 90 of the people relate only to mobile smartphones because that's their computing device and they change it often yes i will try to cover some other stuff also on my channel because frankly speaking i'm sort of bored of the mid-range smartphones the same thing rinse and repeat rinse and repeat rinse and repeat just add one thing remove one thing it's the same product uh so yes i'm trying to do it but i don't know how uh maybe i can try uh reviewing some nas's and stuff but these are some very niche products i don't know how much people will operate so yes experiments will be going on with the channel so might introduce one or two things here and definitely i'll be trying to cover a lot more laptops because i think so now the laptop scene has become pretty interesting the amd ryzen processors are very good now intel is also coming back with a bang with the new generations of processors so exciting times i would say in terms of laptops windows 11 has also come i'm actually using that this is the lenovo laptop that i've been testing and this one i was actually having windows 11 but i didn't find it to be a radical difference uh compared to windows 10. anyways yeah uh moving to the next one this is by siddharth how do you feel about rooting an android phone even in the lower end phones one can remove bloatware ads with proper modules improve the security of the device adds more customization allows better backup the data yes i completely agree that with you if you are a power user and if you know what you are doing especially for these chinese smartphones it's better to root them so that you remove all the bloatware and i'm sorry junk that is and many of the processes are actually running in the background god knows what they're doing but again i generally do not encourage this because if you don't know what you are doing you can easily break your device that's the reason i do not cover that kind of topics on my channel but if you are a power user you really know what you're doing you can also sometimes with rooting and some of the custom roms then you have problems with bank payments and these what do you say upi apps and stuff like that so got to be a little bit careful but again if you're tech savvy and no you know what you're doing yes you can definitely do that uh anyways let's move the next one this is my mohit uh are you going to buy the new or popular bikes for vlogging and review on a channel and a piece close some hindi stuff it's really long time i'm with you on my new channel the geeky ranchi the rides and vlogs currently have purchased the honda cb 350 because i started riding back after 18 years didn't want to directly jump to a big bike but yes eventually i might upgrade to a bigger bike around that 650 660 cc or something like that so that will happen eventually i don't know when but it might happen uh and yes i will try to uh actually what do you say um cover some new bikes and cars also there apart from that other stuff and gadgets also that i simply cannot cover on this channel so that channel is going to become pretty interesting a little bit wrong and stuff like that so yeah and in that channel i'll try to be a little bit of english adding not completely hindi but a little bit of english i think so the last video that i was i did that anyways uh let's move to the next one this is my srk game star why don't you make videos on smart watches which include companies like redmi real me far board noise tag and others srk uh the thing is that these smart watches from these companies what you are talking are not smart watches these are just glorified what do you say fitness bands that you get for about 2500 to 3500 the form factor is like a watch so but basically the functionality of that is just of a smart bank that's the reason i simply do not cover them if you want a true smart watch then it's the apple watch that's the uh what you say samsung watches there fossil makes some watches those are proper smart watches because these what you are talking about fitness band to do anything you have to pick up back your smartphone to do that with proper smart watches you can leave your smartphone and get the things done that's the big difference anyways this is bahar uh hi dan hitzer i want to ask a question related to oppo renault series phones which launch after every three months three month old phone looks like older behind that what's your message yes i have also noticed that when the renault series started a couple of years ago it was really good they were releasing very limited products and they were really good and flagship and innovative also in design but now the renault series has become just a little bit diluted and every three four months they're releasing a new phone with the renault tag so i feel they are diluting the renault brand in my opinion uh so i hope they stop it i i generally i'm not lacking the trend of smartphone manufacturers launching a new variant of this phone every two three months real me redmi and now even to a certain extent oppo is also doing that so that's what i said i'll be a little bit selective about what smartphones i cover moving forward uh this is by the pancho he says i own a moto g40 lately motorola has been doing well with its recent launches don't you think they should be focusing more on frequent software updates and better quality updates since the last update i received has introduced a few bucks there are one of the few stock options yes i completely agree and this problem has been there this year for a lot of oems if you notice with software updates a lot of bugs are being added and i think so that is happening because uh still people are not able to come directly to the office working remotely and that that integration is simply not that quality testing is not happening as it used to and i i don't want the brands to release what do you say updates every month or every two months because of the current situation but release an update when you release an update maybe you receive once in every three months or whatever i don't care but make sure that update does not add bugs because this year not only motorola guys some of the other smartphones the update was so bad that they crippled the devices i don't want to name the brands you guys know that uh so yeah i want quality updates rather than the frequency this is by pratik is it possible to run tally prime software on the m1 macbook air via parallels by downloading the arm version of windows other than the mac which laptop can you recommend for counting coreldraw etc in 14 inches but it is around 1.5 lakhs pratik i personally haven't tried what you said running tally using parallels so if any one of you is using a macbook air m1 and you are using parallels or virtualization are running tally on that one let us know in the comments it will benefit a lot of users i know many people for accounting rely on tally and that natively simply will not work on the macbook m1 regarding the which laptop can you recommend for accounting uh you have a lot of options of 1.5 lakh is a very high budget i'm actually testing one laptop right now it's not released yet in india it will be releasing sometime in the middle of december uh it's a beast of uh what do you say and basically designed for profession not for gamers generally what do you say these high-end laptops are mostly designed for gamers but this is specifically designed for professionals i can't talk about it more because it's not yet released so next month if you can wait oh my god i'm just loving it that's one of the best windows based laptop i have used till date period man even the macbook pros in terms of quality does not come close to that one but i can't talk a little bit uh 14 inches slightly above 14 inches but one heck of a machine man uh this is by abhinay uh and regarding uh you don't mean 1.5 lakhs for a business laptop you can go with the latest amd uh processor 15 uh 5700 you or something like that uh with a decent gpu uh good 16 gigabytes of ram and that should suffice and you can get a lot of options uh in even the premium lineup for what 1.1 1.2 lakhs i would say if you are not doing gaming if you're doing gaming then you need a pretty powerful gpu something like a 360 or even a 370 and that bumps up the price uh this is by uh now as you are getting bored of smartphones lately now i can see you're diversifying your tech space and even made a different channel is it because of all the gimmicks or there is no proper value addition in budget phones like redmi on open still flagship sermon to extend yes i was as i've told you most of the mid-range smartphones are just rinse and repeat rinse and repeat of the same formula it's the same smartphone intentionally they don't make it proper and after three or four months release a new version called plus or whatever or s or something i'm just fed up of this industry and they know the flaws sometimes the proximity sensor is a major issue quality control is not there instead of rectifying those things no they'll just launch a new phone so that's what so i'll be a little bit selective i would say i used to like the smartphone space earlier where companies in the mid-range used to just release one or two good mid-range smartphones and used to support that that was great but now it's becoming a good cookie cutter thing like every new month every month release a new variant of a smartphone and you know when a brand is releasing so many smartphones what happens to the software updates and the patches situation support is simply not that great that's a fact but that's the reality that we are in this is by nishal he says i'm planning to buy a macbook i have no hurry my laptop is manageable for at least six months should i wait for the new macbook air or buy the current one rumors are that the macbook air m2 is pretty pleasing uh what i've heard again guys these are complete rumors so take it with a grain of salt yes i've also heard that the new macbook air m2 will be a redesign because the current macbook air is actually a pretty old design this just a new m1 chip in that so hopefully next year sometime they will release it and if you can wait you can wait but be rest assured here it's apple the pricing will be not as aggressive as m1 because we have seen the pricing of the new macbook pro 14 inches it's ridiculous in india so if you are expecting the pricing to be very aggressive like the current macbook air amber that won't be the case but if you are okay paying a little bit of premium i think so it won't be less than 1 lakh 20 or something like that and you can wait for some time for the new design yes wait i would say this is by mr singh he says i need to buy a laptop under rupees one lakh budget for gaming and work use so where should i purchase it from india or canada assuming no custom charges are involved for a better deal plus what are your views on the crypto currencies in general and news about rumored loss okay regarding the laptop you say you can buy it in india or in canada i would say purchase in canada i think so because the taxes are a little bit low so you can get the same configuration of the laptop at a slightly lower price as you said you can buy it from anywhere you are saying uh so uh definitely you can buy it and as you said that uh you also want a little bit of gaming you can look at the asus g14 series of laptop if you want a slightly bigger screen g15 also you can look but g15 the pricing will be a little bit higher uh those are the options then if the weight is not a concern then we have the lenovo legion 5 series you can get a decent 30 60 also gpu on that one or even the 30 70. so these are some of the options that you can uh look at regarding crypto i do not deal in crypto i don't have any crypto i don't promote any crypto so nothing i have been approached by so many crypto companies to do sponsorship but i have denied it because that's a little bit of a gray area in india as of now and i don't want to mislead my users as of now this is by hassan what do you think about 5g in india in terms of allocated data quota in various recharge slabs as 5g tech is expensive won't it be a loss leading if telcos don't charge a significant premium if they don't like 4g the service quality is bound to suffer uh hasn't yes i don't know the 5g rollout is um this is a mess up in india it was technically supposed to start already start in india by this time frame but because of the code situations even the spectrum allocation the bidding etc is not done so we don't know next year when it will come but yeah initially when 5g comes whenever it comes these telcos will definitely have a different plan for 5g and initially at least for a year or two it will be more expensive compared to 4g so it might be a special top-up that you have to do if you want to use the 5g services and initially first one one and a half years the coverage also will be limited to main parts of the city guys so yeah so it won't make a huge impact and i don't know why is karma dealing it like crazy was supposed to start this year by the end of this year uh this is by mr joshi do you think google should have bought the pixel 6 to india at least as a pre-order basis so they can know how many units they can sell like how xiaomi did with the robo vacuum cleaner precisely they could have done something like this i don't know why google india is ignoring us tech enthusiasts because what is the situation right now if you want a great flagship android smartphone what other choices do we have we have something yes apart from the full series if you want anything else it's basically a exynos variant that many people don't want to buy then we had the oneplus 9 pro but we know the situation of the oneplus now it's not the original oneplus that we know so that is also gone so what are the options that we legally have so this is a big misstep i would say of google they could have brought the pixel 6 in india and they could have done the pre-order thing like what xiaomi did so they didn't take a risk but sad it's not there again uh one more question from c uh and i've got similar questions to from a lot of you that's why i took this one why google is not allowing to use gcam and other android phones earlier in nokia they had gcam uh will we get pixel kind of image processing with gcam uh we can see compatible again other website but how safe it's i'm getting the moto g 5g i think so uh the gcam is the drum cart for google ah and it's image processing uh that they do uh that's different sir so yes you can put the g cam on other smartphones and definitely the image quality increases drastically even on moto phones their built in image processing is not that great but if you put a gcam on that the image the pictures that come out is really good it won't be exactly close to pixel because now the new pixels have are using some of the hardware features of the npu and all these things to further enhance the picture but definitely the image quality if you use a gcam will be better than mostly most of the stock camera not every but especially in the case of moto phones yes i would say uh yes it's tricky to download these what do you say uh gcam apks extra from unknown sites try googling around xda developers and stuff that's a little bit reputable go there in the sub forms and stuff and from there if you're able to get it then you can do it's generally safe and the community is very thriving over there uh this is by uh eaters and tourists interesting name uh what do you feel about the gopro 9 dj osmo 2 are far better than dji osmo action at what price uh osmo action is coming uh you're confusing the dji action two is there that's the new one where did i keep her uh and i have actually used both the hero 9 gopro hero 9 and the dj action 2 and for image quality and ease of use just yesterday i posted the video on my other channel i like the what do you say action 2 dj action 2 because i felt the image quality because i have very very expensive cameras also uh the image quality that was coming out of that sensor is better it's also a lot wider so i can crop in easily and post so editing is easier so i felt in some of those areas it is beating the gopro 9 but gopro 9 you have a lot of accessories and stuff it's a little bit more rugged so comes down so personally i would say i'll be using both but primarily as of now i will be using the dji action 2 as my main camera and the gopro 9 as the secondary camera anyways i will be posting a lot more videos on my secondary channel regarding this and also some you're asking about back bike accessories uh reviews etc and some of the writing gear that i have covered yes i will try to cover them hopefully next week or something after that so yeah guys these were my uh some of the tech related questions in this tech q a session uh so guys uh thanks uh for watching this video and still if you're not subscribed to this channel hit that subscribe button and also i'll leave the link for my second uh channel that is geeky ranjit that writes and vlogs anyways guys that's it for now thanks for watching take care catch you laterhi guys this is ranjit and welcome to the tech q a session for end of november and i've selected about 20 odd questions that were from twitter and got some pretty interesting questions also just not related to smartphones even laptops some biking game gopros etc so let's have a look at it and the first question that i got is from ca hiton he says why nowadays we don't see compact and slim phones all are coming up with large phones where 100 users just not possible plus they are bulky too i feel this can be a game changer since professionals like me don't consume much media i need your views on this see then i get your point where from where you are getting but realize that 95 of the smartphone sold in india apart from iphones it's mostly android phones and if a photo has a less capacity battery people will simply ignore it let's say if you want a slim phone or something like that sleek you might have to put about 3 500 milliamp hour battery or something but people just seeing that specs of 3 500 milliamp hour battery will just disregard that phone that's the reason these days we are seeing uh phones above 4 five thousand even six thousand milliamp hour and i don't think so this uh trend will reverse because that market of very slim phones with the low capacity battery is very very low uh that's my frank opinion anyways let's move to the next one this is by chitra ghosh ital and vodafone further increase their tariff plans this seems that india will no longer be the owner of the cheapest data plan in the world and i've got similar questions regarding this yes later and we both have now actually increased their mobile plans and guys this was eventually going to happen if you noticed before what jio came how many network providers were there i just lost count of it also because uh before jio came i also had an air cell sim that is no longer there and that's the case with a lot of providers now the big market is there between jio and atl and that uh v and i have what you say for uh idea small uh group i would say so ital has always been telling that uh the average revenue per user has to increase to be sustainable and now they have increased it and now they say that the average revenue per user will be about 200 rupees and they plan to increase it about 300 rupees so eventually this was going to happen italian vodafone has done that now eventually uh jio will also do it it's just a matter of time when next month they'll do or after two months in fact if i recall jio had increased their annual plans because uh i've put my secondary sim now on my iphone 13 pro and recently i generally charge for the full one year with the jio one and if i recall last year i had recharged for 1600 odd rupees or something like that but now the same recharge that is for one year full recharge and daily i get 1.5 gigabytes i think so i paid above 2100 or something like that so already yes prices are increased and this is going to further increase because now these providers know jio is there and atl is there these are the two big players and we don't have that much competition so the average revenue per user is definitely going to increase and yes jio will also eventually increase the data that's the reality guys sad reality but it won't be as bad prior to jio what do you say when jio came there for even let's say two gigabytes or five gigabytes of data we had to pay through our nose that will not come but yes the average recharge uh pricing will increase uh let's move to the next one this is by taron said uh hi ranjit bhai hi tarant uh can we expect smartphone prices uh will decrease anytime near uh future or uh the hike uh or will the hike like this only uh i don't think so we'll get too many hikes now already the prices of the smartphones if you recall have hiked uh considerably in india due to the gst and the covert situation because of the logistics and all these things uh but i don't think so the pricing of the smartphones will come down i have said this earlier also earlier we used to get very good mid-range phones in the price band of about 12 to 14 000 but now that has increased in the range of about 16 to 19 000 uh so don't expect the pricing to calm down that's my frank opinion anyways let's move to the next one this is my jitender uh this is a funny one hi ranjit may be funny or a different question why girls or women don't ask you take related questions is it that you don't have female followers or women don't ask related questions what are your thoughts on this one this is a very interesting one i i check the google what do you say youtube stats and i'm just about six and a half odd percent our female audience according to the analytics of google on my channel so yeah majority are male oriented ones and i think so girls do not ask that many questions i'll give you an example because recently if you recall i purchased a bike in fact i put a new channel um that is known as gigi ranchi the writes and vlogs and for past 40 45 days i was watching a lot of bike videos and particularly about that honda cb 350 my wife noticed that for a month why are you spending so many time that much time watching hundreds and hundreds of video on this particular bike if you like it why don't you just go out and buy it i think so women they make a decision very easily if they want to buy it they buy it it's not like us who like need validation and watch things again and again i think so that's the whole psychology i i think the female followers or whatever if they like something they just go out and buy but we i are the curious kind i guess we need that validation so we keep checking stuff again and again again again to validate if it's right or not i think so i might be wrong but that's what i think that's i just recalled my wife just simply said why are you wasting so much time on watching this bike videos if you like that bike why don't you goddamn go and buy it simple but yeah eventually i did that anyways let's move to the next one this is by uh na rule uh is there any chances of apple pay coming in india like we have samsung pay it would be great if apple pay launches in india yes i'm also surprised why apple did not launch it maybe the market is not that big uh that's why they must have not launched it because they can easily do that so it's just a matter of time i would say and apple if they take india seriously they would do it but god knows when will that happen uh this is by sahil uh he says there are some leaks that the galax rc tab 8 ultra is going to be of 14 inches as you use the tab s7 plus what do you think about the screen size yes i actually use this this is the tab s7 plus as my primary tablet because of the amoled screen and i mostly use it for media consumption excellent for that uh yes i've also heard rumors that the tab 8 might go up to 14 inches and i think so that's too big because this is actually perfect size 12.4 inches neither too big neither small uh so let's see what uh samsung is doing with this ultra one maybe with the 14 inch form factor they are trying to make it like a laptop replacement so let's see if they try to do something different because just as a 14 inch tablet it's just too big in my opinion but let's see what they do and if it launches officially in india this is by arthur how do you think the tech genre on youtube is evolving you found phones to be repetitive yes do you think people like to explore new aspects of tech just to learn instead of watching a few videos before buying a specific device are you thinking of bringing anything new to the uh table earth if you recall earlier i used to cover a lot of other tech related stuff not just smartphones even nasa pc builds and stuff but what i've noticed is that in india specifically most of the people uh majority of the people i would say 90 of the people relate only to mobile smartphones because that's their computing device and they change it often yes i will try to cover some other stuff also on my channel because frankly speaking i'm sort of bored of the mid-range smartphones the same thing rinse and repeat rinse and repeat rinse and repeat just add one thing remove one thing it's the same product uh so yes i'm trying to do it but i don't know how uh maybe i can try uh reviewing some nas's and stuff but these are some very niche products i don't know how much people will operate so yes experiments will be going on with the channel so might introduce one or two things here and definitely i'll be trying to cover a lot more laptops because i think so now the laptop scene has become pretty interesting the amd ryzen processors are very good now intel is also coming back with a bang with the new generations of processors so exciting times i would say in terms of laptops windows 11 has also come i'm actually using that this is the lenovo laptop that i've been testing and this one i was actually having windows 11 but i didn't find it to be a radical difference uh compared to windows 10. anyways yeah uh moving to the next one this is by siddharth how do you feel about rooting an android phone even in the lower end phones one can remove bloatware ads with proper modules improve the security of the device adds more customization allows better backup the data yes i completely agree that with you if you are a power user and if you know what you are doing especially for these chinese smartphones it's better to root them so that you remove all the bloatware and i'm sorry junk that is and many of the processes are actually running in the background god knows what they're doing but again i generally do not encourage this because if you don't know what you are doing you can easily break your device that's the reason i do not cover that kind of topics on my channel but if you are a power user you really know what you're doing you can also sometimes with rooting and some of the custom roms then you have problems with bank payments and these what do you say upi apps and stuff like that so got to be a little bit careful but again if you're tech savvy and no you know what you're doing yes you can definitely do that uh anyways let's move the next one this is my mohit uh are you going to buy the new or popular bikes for vlogging and review on a channel and a piece close some hindi stuff it's really long time i'm with you on my new channel the geeky ranchi the rides and vlogs currently have purchased the honda cb 350 because i started riding back after 18 years didn't want to directly jump to a big bike but yes eventually i might upgrade to a bigger bike around that 650 660 cc or something like that so that will happen eventually i don't know when but it might happen uh and yes i will try to uh actually what do you say um cover some new bikes and cars also there apart from that other stuff and gadgets also that i simply cannot cover on this channel so that channel is going to become pretty interesting a little bit wrong and stuff like that so yeah and in that channel i'll try to be a little bit of english adding not completely hindi but a little bit of english i think so the last video that i was i did that anyways uh let's move to the next one this is my srk game star why don't you make videos on smart watches which include companies like redmi real me far board noise tag and others srk uh the thing is that these smart watches from these companies what you are talking are not smart watches these are just glorified what do you say fitness bands that you get for about 2500 to 3500 the form factor is like a watch so but basically the functionality of that is just of a smart bank that's the reason i simply do not cover them if you want a true smart watch then it's the apple watch that's the uh what you say samsung watches there fossil makes some watches those are proper smart watches because these what you are talking about fitness band to do anything you have to pick up back your smartphone to do that with proper smart watches you can leave your smartphone and get the things done that's the big difference anyways this is bahar uh hi dan hitzer i want to ask a question related to oppo renault series phones which launch after every three months three month old phone looks like older behind that what's your message yes i have also noticed that when the renault series started a couple of years ago it was really good they were releasing very limited products and they were really good and flagship and innovative also in design but now the renault series has become just a little bit diluted and every three four months they're releasing a new phone with the renault tag so i feel they are diluting the renault brand in my opinion uh so i hope they stop it i i generally i'm not lacking the trend of smartphone manufacturers launching a new variant of this phone every two three months real me redmi and now even to a certain extent oppo is also doing that so that's what i said i'll be a little bit selective about what smartphones i cover moving forward uh this is by the pancho he says i own a moto g40 lately motorola has been doing well with its recent launches don't you think they should be focusing more on frequent software updates and better quality updates since the last update i received has introduced a few bucks there are one of the few stock options yes i completely agree and this problem has been there this year for a lot of oems if you notice with software updates a lot of bugs are being added and i think so that is happening because uh still people are not able to come directly to the office working remotely and that that integration is simply not that quality testing is not happening as it used to and i i don't want the brands to release what do you say updates every month or every two months because of the current situation but release an update when you release an update maybe you receive once in every three months or whatever i don't care but make sure that update does not add bugs because this year not only motorola guys some of the other smartphones the update was so bad that they crippled the devices i don't want to name the brands you guys know that uh so yeah i want quality updates rather than the frequency this is by pratik is it possible to run tally prime software on the m1 macbook air via parallels by downloading the arm version of windows other than the mac which laptop can you recommend for counting coreldraw etc in 14 inches but it is around 1.5 lakhs pratik i personally haven't tried what you said running tally using parallels so if any one of you is using a macbook air m1 and you are using parallels or virtualization are running tally on that one let us know in the comments it will benefit a lot of users i know many people for accounting rely on tally and that natively simply will not work on the macbook m1 regarding the which laptop can you recommend for accounting uh you have a lot of options of 1.5 lakh is a very high budget i'm actually testing one laptop right now it's not released yet in india it will be releasing sometime in the middle of december uh it's a beast of uh what do you say and basically designed for profession not for gamers generally what do you say these high-end laptops are mostly designed for gamers but this is specifically designed for professionals i can't talk about it more because it's not yet released so next month if you can wait oh my god i'm just loving it that's one of the best windows based laptop i have used till date period man even the macbook pros in terms of quality does not come close to that one but i can't talk a little bit uh 14 inches slightly above 14 inches but one heck of a machine man uh this is by abhinay uh and regarding uh you don't mean 1.5 lakhs for a business laptop you can go with the latest amd uh processor 15 uh 5700 you or something like that uh with a decent gpu uh good 16 gigabytes of ram and that should suffice and you can get a lot of options uh in even the premium lineup for what 1.1 1.2 lakhs i would say if you are not doing gaming if you're doing gaming then you need a pretty powerful gpu something like a 360 or even a 370 and that bumps up the price uh this is by uh now as you are getting bored of smartphones lately now i can see you're diversifying your tech space and even made a different channel is it because of all the gimmicks or there is no proper value addition in budget phones like redmi on open still flagship sermon to extend yes i was as i've told you most of the mid-range smartphones are just rinse and repeat rinse and repeat of the same formula it's the same smartphone intentionally they don't make it proper and after three or four months release a new version called plus or whatever or s or something i'm just fed up of this industry and they know the flaws sometimes the proximity sensor is a major issue quality control is not there instead of rectifying those things no they'll just launch a new phone so that's what so i'll be a little bit selective i would say i used to like the smartphone space earlier where companies in the mid-range used to just release one or two good mid-range smartphones and used to support that that was great but now it's becoming a good cookie cutter thing like every new month every month release a new variant of a smartphone and you know when a brand is releasing so many smartphones what happens to the software updates and the patches situation support is simply not that great that's a fact but that's the reality that we are in this is by nishal he says i'm planning to buy a macbook i have no hurry my laptop is manageable for at least six months should i wait for the new macbook air or buy the current one rumors are that the macbook air m2 is pretty pleasing uh what i've heard again guys these are complete rumors so take it with a grain of salt yes i've also heard that the new macbook air m2 will be a redesign because the current macbook air is actually a pretty old design this just a new m1 chip in that so hopefully next year sometime they will release it and if you can wait you can wait but be rest assured here it's apple the pricing will be not as aggressive as m1 because we have seen the pricing of the new macbook pro 14 inches it's ridiculous in india so if you are expecting the pricing to be very aggressive like the current macbook air amber that won't be the case but if you are okay paying a little bit of premium i think so it won't be less than 1 lakh 20 or something like that and you can wait for some time for the new design yes wait i would say this is by mr singh he says i need to buy a laptop under rupees one lakh budget for gaming and work use so where should i purchase it from india or canada assuming no custom charges are involved for a better deal plus what are your views on the crypto currencies in general and news about rumored loss okay regarding the laptop you say you can buy it in india or in canada i would say purchase in canada i think so because the taxes are a little bit low so you can get the same configuration of the laptop at a slightly lower price as you said you can buy it from anywhere you are saying uh so uh definitely you can buy it and as you said that uh you also want a little bit of gaming you can look at the asus g14 series of laptop if you want a slightly bigger screen g15 also you can look but g15 the pricing will be a little bit higher uh those are the options then if the weight is not a concern then we have the lenovo legion 5 series you can get a decent 30 60 also gpu on that one or even the 30 70. so these are some of the options that you can uh look at regarding crypto i do not deal in crypto i don't have any crypto i don't promote any crypto so nothing i have been approached by so many crypto companies to do sponsorship but i have denied it because that's a little bit of a gray area in india as of now and i don't want to mislead my users as of now this is by hassan what do you think about 5g in india in terms of allocated data quota in various recharge slabs as 5g tech is expensive won't it be a loss leading if telcos don't charge a significant premium if they don't like 4g the service quality is bound to suffer uh hasn't yes i don't know the 5g rollout is um this is a mess up in india it was technically supposed to start already start in india by this time frame but because of the code situations even the spectrum allocation the bidding etc is not done so we don't know next year when it will come but yeah initially when 5g comes whenever it comes these telcos will definitely have a different plan for 5g and initially at least for a year or two it will be more expensive compared to 4g so it might be a special top-up that you have to do if you want to use the 5g services and initially first one one and a half years the coverage also will be limited to main parts of the city guys so yeah so it won't make a huge impact and i don't know why is karma dealing it like crazy was supposed to start this year by the end of this year uh this is by mr joshi do you think google should have bought the pixel 6 to india at least as a pre-order basis so they can know how many units they can sell like how xiaomi did with the robo vacuum cleaner precisely they could have done something like this i don't know why google india is ignoring us tech enthusiasts because what is the situation right now if you want a great flagship android smartphone what other choices do we have we have something yes apart from the full series if you want anything else it's basically a exynos variant that many people don't want to buy then we had the oneplus 9 pro but we know the situation of the oneplus now it's not the original oneplus that we know so that is also gone so what are the options that we legally have so this is a big misstep i would say of google they could have brought the pixel 6 in india and they could have done the pre-order thing like what xiaomi did so they didn't take a risk but sad it's not there again uh one more question from c uh and i've got similar questions to from a lot of you that's why i took this one why google is not allowing to use gcam and other android phones earlier in nokia they had gcam uh will we get pixel kind of image processing with gcam uh we can see compatible again other website but how safe it's i'm getting the moto g 5g i think so uh the gcam is the drum cart for google ah and it's image processing uh that they do uh that's different sir so yes you can put the g cam on other smartphones and definitely the image quality increases drastically even on moto phones their built in image processing is not that great but if you put a gcam on that the image the pictures that come out is really good it won't be exactly close to pixel because now the new pixels have are using some of the hardware features of the npu and all these things to further enhance the picture but definitely the image quality if you use a gcam will be better than mostly most of the stock camera not every but especially in the case of moto phones yes i would say uh yes it's tricky to download these what do you say uh gcam apks extra from unknown sites try googling around xda developers and stuff that's a little bit reputable go there in the sub forms and stuff and from there if you're able to get it then you can do it's generally safe and the community is very thriving over there uh this is by uh eaters and tourists interesting name uh what do you feel about the gopro 9 dj osmo 2 are far better than dji osmo action at what price uh osmo action is coming uh you're confusing the dji action two is there that's the new one where did i keep her uh and i have actually used both the hero 9 gopro hero 9 and the dj action 2 and for image quality and ease of use just yesterday i posted the video on my other channel i like the what do you say action 2 dj action 2 because i felt the image quality because i have very very expensive cameras also uh the image quality that was coming out of that sensor is better it's also a lot wider so i can crop in easily and post so editing is easier so i felt in some of those areas it is beating the gopro 9 but gopro 9 you have a lot of accessories and stuff it's a little bit more rugged so comes down so personally i would say i'll be using both but primarily as of now i will be using the dji action 2 as my main camera and the gopro 9 as the secondary camera anyways i will be posting a lot more videos on my secondary channel regarding this and also some you're asking about back bike accessories uh reviews etc and some of the writing gear that i have covered yes i will try to cover them hopefully next week or something after that so yeah guys these were my uh some of the tech related questions in this tech q a session uh so guys uh thanks uh for watching this video and still if you're not subscribed to this channel hit that subscribe button and also i'll leave the link for my second uh channel that is geeky ranjit that writes and vlogs anyways guys that's it for now thanks for watching take care catch you later\n"
