Xiaomi to Follow Apple by Ditching Charger Inside the Retail Box of Mi 11

We are less than 24 hours away from the official launch of Xiaomi Mi 11 and the company officially confirms the removal of charger inside the retail box. Yes, Xiaomi is following the footsteps of Apple which also removed charger from the retail boxes of entire iPhone 12 series. Apple even removed charges from the older iPhones like the iPhone 11, iPhone XR and the iPhone SE (2020). We are already aware that most of the Chinese brands do not include earphones inside the retail box, so the omission of charger is a piece of huge news for the consumers. The reason behind Xiaomi removing the wall charger from the Mi 11’s retail box is to protect the environment.

Xiaomi Removes Wall Charger from Mi 11 Retail Box

The Xiaomi Mi 11 is expected to come in two variants- the Mi 11 and the Mi 11 Pro. The removal of the wall charger from the retail boxes will not impress a lot of customers who are waiting for the Mi 11. In fact, when Apple announced that it would be removing the charger and earphones from the iPhone 12 series retail boxes, Xiaomi trolled the Cupertino giant on various social media platforms. And just three months later, it is following the footsteps of Apple.

Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun on Chinese microblogging website Weibo posted the thin retail box packaging of the Mi 11. He further added that the company is making this decision to protect the environment. Since a lot of consumers have unused wall chargers lying in their homes, they are harmful to the environment.

Apple removing charger from the iPhone 12 series may not impact many because the company bundles a 20W wall charger inside the retail boxes. In the case of Xiaomi, the Mi 11 series is expected to come with 55W wired charging support, so purchasing a fast charger that would be compatible with the Mi 11 could be a pricier option.

Tipster ICE Universe claims that Xiaomi will offer some kind of a coupon which discounts the charger for Mi 11 series, but again, nothing is confirmed for now. Apple urged all the iPhone 12 users to purchase a wall charger separately and did not provide any coupon or discount to the users. But that may not be the case with Xiaomi. The Mi 11 series is also expected to reach the Indian market in early 2021. Samsung is also removing the wall charger from its Galaxy S21 series, which are arriving in the second week of January 2021.

Fiber Broadband is Best For Online Gaming, Here is Why

fiber-broadband-connection-online-gaming

Fiber broadband is the fastest wired internet connection users can install in their homes or offices. The category of people who require it the most apart from workers and students is gamers. The online gaming industry has grown multiple folds in the last two to three years. Many online gamers rely on their super-fast internet connection with very low latency to keep taking their shots in real-time without facing any lags. Fiber broadband is the best type of connection a user can get for online gaming; here is why.

Why You Must Go For a Fiber Broadband Connection if You are a Gamer

The first and most obvious reason is low latency. With a high-speed fiber broadband connection, a lag-free gaming experience can be ensured. A low latency internet connection is crucial for gamers who are regularly participating in high profile online gaming tournaments. Even half a second lag can be a huge advantage for the opposition.

The second reason gamers should go for a fiber connection is convenient and easy live streaming. The culture of live streaming has taken over, and almost every gamer and tournament is live streaming the games on YouTube or other video streaming platforms. A stable and high-speed broadband connection is required for streaming a live feed, which only a fiber connection can ensure.

A lot of the times in multiplayer online games, users are from different parts of the world. To bridge that gap and ensure timely communication between the players, a high-bandwidth connection is essential. If the players’ response time is excellent, they will end the game with favourable results.

Virtual reality (VR) games are a different kind of gaming experience. To play and enjoy gaming in VR, a solid internet connection is vital. Without it, the whole experience of VR would ruin. Adding to this, one of the most common and important reasons for getting a high-speed internet connection is faster downloading.

High graphic games are massive in size. If you download them through a weak or slow internet connection, it would mean longer wait times. But with fiber broadband, a game even larger than 100GB can be downloaded in a matter of few minutes.

The standards of online gaming are only getting higher with time. Thus, a fiber broadband connection is the best thing for a gamer.

Vodafone Idea and Bharti Airtel Might Get Some Relief from DoT

vodafone-idea-and-bharti-airtel-dot

Vodafone Idea (Vi) and Bharti Airtel might be relieved from paying penalties worth Rs 3,050 crore. The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) might reject the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India's (Trai) recommendation for charging telcos with Rs 3,050 crore for not giving Reliance Jio points of interconnection when it started operating back in 2016. As per a report from the Financial Express, telcos might be saved from paying this penalty given the financial burden they are already in. Both Vi and Airtel have to pay adjusted gross revenue (AGR) dues over the next 10 years and it wouldn't be fair to add more financial burden on them at this point in time — more on the story ahead.

Government Not Interested in Adding More Legal Tussle With the Vi and Airtel

The next round of 4G spectrum auctions is due in March 2021. Before that, the government doesn't want to upset any telco by asking them to pay penalties. It would add to the risk of telecom operators dropping from participation in the auctions. Adding to this, the new Trai chairman might let the issue go as well.

For the unaware, the Digital Communications Commission (DCC), the apex decision-making arm of DoT had already approved for the penalties on the telcos, but the telecom minister Ravi Shankar Prasad had not shown any interest. Further, DoT is aware that if the penalties are approved, both Vodafone Idea and Bharti Airtel will challenge the decision in the Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT) court of India. Getting involved in yet another legal case is not something the government wants to do right now.

What's worth noting here is that Trai doesn't have the authority of levying penalties on the operators. The power rests with DoT; what Trai can do is only suggest. The telecom department is not keen on looking for penalties from the operators and it would have been the same if this case was brought to DCC a year back.

Officials have tried talking with Trai to lower the amount given the financial stress the operators are already in, but the regulator hasn't budged. Adding to this, DoT officials had already met and rejected the recommendation of penalty by Trai and left the final decision to be taken by the DCC. Because as a licensor, it is only DCC which has the power to levy penalty on the operators.
