Hi there this is Transit and welcome to weekly tech, news and analysis and all the tech happenings and important news in the tech world this week, and the first thing is that HTC has launched the HTC: u 11, squeeze smartphone in India, as you can see from the image they call this. The liquid display the back and front are both glass, but in terms of specs, this is a feature of fear factor smartphone. It is having the Snapdragon 835 chipset and the When that is being sold in India comes with 6 gigabytes of RAM and 128 gigabytes of internal storage and the street price in India actor is 50 mm. There was also another variant of this HTC you that comes with 4 gigabytes of RAM and 64gb of internal storage, but HTC didn't launch that we are only going to get the 6 gigabyte and 128 gigabyte variant and moving to other specs. It has a 5.5 inch, quad HD, IPS LCD screen, and it still retains this HTC boomed speaker. So you get that stereo kind of effect with these smartphones, and they call this again the design.

This is the liquid design, and it has that reflective surface that you are going to get apart from that. The important thing about this smartphone is regarding the camera. It has a 12 megapixel rear facing camera with a 1.4 micron pixels. That means it can gather in a lot of life and regarding HTC, as you can see from the slide, they are DXO mark rated at as 90, which is the highest for a smartphone. For example, if you recall the Google Pixel actually had a DX of mark of 18 9, but now this one is having 90, so the camera performance should be actually perfect.

Moving to the front facing camera, it has a 16 megapixel front facing camera, and it has this unique thing known as HTC squeeze and if you to squeeze the phone, you can have actions with the same and again as you can see, it comes with three different colors, but in India they will be launching the amazing and the black variant and again available. It's gotta be launched. Nick last week of June and retail stores, pricing at 52,000. So do let me know what do you think about this HTC Kevin squeeze? Do you think HTC should have also launched the four gigabyte RAM model that comes with 64gb of storage? That way they could have priced it at around. Forty-five thousand would love to know your thoughts about the same I personally feel they should have launched even the four gigabyte RAM model, because, even though this HTC 11 also has a micros card, so storage should not mean an issue now moving to the next story.

This is regarding the nokia actually announced the Nokia 3 Nokia, 5 and Nokia 6 in India. The Nokia 3 is available as of now and the surprised at rupees, nine thousand four hundred, ninety-nine, but the Nokia five and Nokia six, which I frankly feel are better handsets that come with the stamp rack and 430 chipsets won't be available till July, for example, the Nokia 5 will be available from July 7 onwards and will be priced at twelve thousand. Eight hundred ninety-nine and the Nokia six, which is their current flagship, as of now, will be our level from July 16 onwards for rupees. Fourteen thousand nine hundred ninety-nine and the Nokia sex will be sold online Amazon, whereas the Nokia three and Nokia five will be sold in the offline market. Again, I've already made a separate video that covers all the other details.

I'll have the link for that. One in the YouTube show notes now moving to the next story. This is interesting story. This is by Qualcomm, and this is about Matt speakers. Qualcomm this week announced this new smart speaker initiative that they have- and this is a smart speaker, for example, if you recall Amazon, Alexa or even Google home speakers and the upcoming Apple home pods, because these are sort of smart speakers, and these can listen to you.

For example, the Apple home part has Siri integration. Google speakers have that Google voice assistant, but now Qualcomm has announced new chip and Qualcomm says that this new, smart speaker platform will other manufacturers to creates much because, for example, they're these smart speakers using the Qualcomm technology will be having voice recognition. For example, they can have multiple mics just like to work boys' recognition that we get with the Amazon Alexa and the Google home speakers, so that option will be there, and it will always also have that always-on listening, for example, if you can have a hot keyword like let's say: okay Google, and it wakes up. Andrew P in the two flavors running on Linux and Android, and it'll, be a feature of pad smart speaker will support both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and other by opening up this chip. Other manufacturers, for example, can now integrate smart speakers.

But again this was just announced and the availability of these smart speakers will start sometime in early 2018, so I'm hoping due to this. We might get some affordable, intelligent smarts because with the voice technology in 2018, because, frankly speaking, the Apple home pod is about 350 US dollars and even the Google home speakers are pretty expensive, so hoping to see affordable, smart speakers in 2018 now, moving to the next story about Microsoft has also launched the Xbox One X, which is their latest gaming console. This comes after the Xbox One is that is currently being sold and according to Microsoft, this is one of the most powerful gaming consoles in the market, and it has based on the Microsoft Scorpio engine, and it is having 12 gigabytes of ddr4 Ram and also the GPU is actually very powerful on this Microsoft claims that the GP on this can push up to six teardrops, that's huge, because the current Xbox One tops out at around 101.3 teardrops and the Sony PS4 Pro tops out at about 4.6 teardrops. So there's got to be one of the most powerful gaming consoles, and this will also natively according to Microsoft support, 4k and 4k gaming up to 60 FP. Yes, so, and it also has worked for K.

What do you say, Dr Blu-ray drive, so you can watch Ultra, HD movies, also on this one and regarding the availability of this one, as of now for India, they haven't announced when it will be launched but us to be launching on November 7th for us $500. So certainly a very pricey concern one of the most expensive consoles out there do, let me know what do you think about the Xbox One X I mean for more info on the Xbox One X I have already posted a dedicated video link for that one video will be there. The YouTube show notes now. Moving to another thing, the Google daydream, VR kit was launched in India. Now and again, this is a high-end VR kit, and it comes with the Bluetooth controller, and it also has a trackpad but again be aware that not all what do you say, Android devices are daydream compatible, so just check.

For example, as of now the Google Pixel and pixel XL and the Motor Z are what you say: daydream for ready and according to Google, the Samsung Galaxy S8 and s8 plus will also be dating dream. Ready and this is going to be sold in India wire Flipkart for six thousand four hundred and ninety-nine. So finally, these devices are now available in India and you can purchase them now. I'm going to the last story. This is regarding the Samsung Galaxy j7 Samsung announced the g7 max and the j7 true in India.

First, let's talk about the j7 max, which is slightly more affordable, and this one will have a 5.7-inch 1080p screen, but it's IPS great screen guys, and this will have a special version of Samson paint. They are touting it as at the pay meaning- and this is not a full functional to Samsung P. But using this you can have digital wallets, for example, Part and be map and stock are using this one- and apart from that, here are the general specs for this one, and this is powered by the MediaTek hello p20 will have four gigabytes of RAM 32gb of internal storage and the pricing for this one is. Seventeen thousand 900 in India will be available from June 20th onwards. I was submitted in this new one, that is the Galaxy j7 row.

This is slightly more expensive. This is, will be costing about twenty thousand nine hundred and in India, and this comes with 5.5 inch, 1080p Super AMOLED screen, and it will be part by the x0 7870 outscore processor, and this comes with surprisingly three gigabytes of RAM but 64 GB of internal storage, and this one will have proper support for Samson P. That means you can just ya put in your credit card. You don't have to take out your credit cards just tap on the Pay machine idle pay. So this is the j7.

Pro will be what is a most affordable smartphone by Samson that will have full integration of Samsung, Bay, and it'll have a 13, megapixel rear-facing and a 13 megapixel front-facing. Camera availability for of this device will be from mid-July, odd watts, so guys these were the important news and things that were launched in India this week.
