Samsung Releases an Infographic on the Evolution of Displays in Smartphones

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Samsung may have been leading the smartphone race by some distance 
but it hasn’t forgotten the past. Instead, they’ve released a new 
infographic on the evolution of displays on its phones, starting all the
 way from the Mono displays of the 80s.<br />

Mono Displays ruled the telephony industry until the start of the 
21st century when we first got color displays. By the end of the first 
decade, technology once again changed, when we finally got the AMOLEDs, 
the more common breed of displays found on the current smartphones<br />
<div class="adsxpls" id="adsxpls1" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
Samsung hasn’t told what it plans to do in the future but it seems 
like a no-brainer that its next flagship will come with a 2K display.<br />

Voice has announced a new addition to its Android line-up with the 
new Xtreme V75. The handset costs lies in the mid-budget category, and 
comes with a 5 inch display, quad-core processor and 8 megapixel 
rear-shooter.<br />

The screen is of qHD resolution which is a bit disappointing for a 
display this large. It does come with scratch-resistant coating though. 
The phone also comes with dual-sim connectivity onboard.<br />
<div class="adsxpls" id="adsxpls1" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
Under the hood, you’ll find a 1.2Ghz quad-core processor, along with 1
 GB RAM and 4 GB expandable internal storage. Around the back is an 8 
megapixel camera with LED Flash, along with a 2 megapixel front-facer 
for selfies.<br />

Here are the full specs of the phone:<br />

<ul>
<li>Android 4.2 Jelly Bean pre-installed</li>
<li>5 inch scratch-resistant display with 540 x 960 resolution</li>
<li>dual-sim compatibility</li>
<li>9.2mm thick</li>
<li>Weight: 185g</li>
<li>1.2Ghz quad-core processor with 1 GB RAM</li>
<li>4 GB internal storage, expandable via microSD</li>
<li>8 megapixel autofocus camera with LED Flash</li>
<li>2 megapixel front-facing camera</li>
<li>Wi-Fi, microUSB, Bluetooth 4.0</li>
<li>2050 mAh battery</li>
</ul>
The phone is available right now for Rs. 20,900 in Pakistan, which is
 not a lot but if you search around a bit, you may find an even better 
deal. Then again, there are always a few compromises to be made whenever
 you’re buying a device from this range.</div>

energy metering devices (gas, electric) and transferring that data to a 
central database for billing, troubleshooting, and analysing.<br />
Automated Smart Meters have been deployed by Telenor in five 
distribution companies in collaboration with International Resources 
Group, an American enterprise which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of 
Engility Corporation.<br />

The Automated Smart Meter deployment will help reduce distribution 
losses, electricity theft and increasing labor productivity by 
automating monitoring, meter reading and load management.<br />

Talking about the impact of the project, Irfan Wahab, Chief Marketing
 Officer, Telenor Pakistan said, “As a socially responsible company, 
Telenor Pakistan is committed to providing consumers with innovative 
services and benefits of technology through M2M technology and green 
solutions. Automated Smart meters are going to be instrumental in 
enhancing working efficiencies of energy companies while consumers will 
also benefit from this with better load management in the long run. 
Becoming the largest AMR solutions provider is a matter of great pride 
for us and will continue to work towards innovative M2M solutions that 
have a positive impact on the lives of our customers.”<br />

Telenor Pakistan is the one of the largest mobile data connectivity 
provider in the country and claims to be a leader in providing dedicated

customers nationwide.</div>

New Year Gift: Mobile Companies to Charge 10 Paisas Extra For Each Call

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Mobilink, Telenor and Ufone, as per the announcements published on 
their websites, will charge 10 paisas plus tax extra for each and every 
call made by their prepaid customers from next week.<br />

While we had anticipated a notable increase in tariffs, it is highly unusual that all three operators are introducing call setup charges during the same week.<br />

Here are official statements published on respective websites:<br />

<h4>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Telenor</span></h4>
<blockquote>
Dear Customers,<br />

Call setup charges of 10 paisa + tax will be deducted on every charged, free or bundle call from 30th December 2013.<br />
<div class="adsxpls" id="adsxpls1" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
</blockquote>
<h4>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Ufone</span></h4>
<blockquote>
Dear Customers: Effective from 25th December 2013, a 
tariff increase of 10paisa+tax per call will be applicable on all 
PrePaid and Uth Pack local, nationwide and international calls and voice
 packages, including the offers, discounted rates and bundled offers 
made available there in.</blockquote>
<h4>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Mobilink</span></h4>
<blockquote>
Dear Mobilink Customers: Effective 28th December, a call 
setup fee of 10 paisa + tax will be charged on all calls including 
discounted calls. The existing call setup fee of 15 paisa + tax on all 
local call base rates will be reduced to 10 paisa + tax as well.</blockquote>
After this new charging mechanism, each and every call on any package
 – including the voice bundles – will be charged extra with 10 paisas 
plus tax as call setup charges.<br />

For example, if you have subscribed to voice bundle from Telenor that
 allows 300 minutes with validation of three days then each call made 
under this offer will be charged at 10 paisas plus tax per call.<br />

Please note that call setup charges will be charged on per call basis (instead of per minute basis).<br />

Zong and Warid are likely to impose similar charges as well.<br />

All operators imposing same amount of call setup charges on each call
 hints that telecom operators are cartelizing to mint money from overly 
burdened telecom subscribers.  Pakistan Telecommunication Authority, as 
always, is likely to remain silent.</div>

CCP Finally Wakes Up to Rescue Mobile Users Against Service Charges by Operators

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIIf1N24KHOyD9ye3Ncv3c1Zh5JWZTDFtj3scidj0fFtzO8_P3RRmfnBoO4GpUsGb4nKhRBqdfD_wxRBOeLCI79iCL3TrhQsYAQUrxaOznZivgfAI-F47Pfe_sHTVnMWX0f4e2xi0iXkU/s1600/Pakistan_Mobile_Phone_Users.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIIf1N24KHOyD9ye3Ncv3c1Zh5JWZTDFtj3scidj0fFtzO8_P3RRmfnBoO4GpUsGb4nKhRBqdfD_wxRBOeLCI79iCL3TrhQsYAQUrxaOznZivgfAI-F47Pfe_sHTVnMWX0f4e2xi0iXkU/s1600/Pakistan_Mobile_Phone_Users.jpg" /></a></div>
Competition Commission of Pakistan has finally issued show-cause notices to all five cellular operators against additional service charges they had imposed back in 2011.<br />
It maybe recalled that all five operators had imposed service charges
 on all reloads in July 2011, and ranged from 1.0 to 1.5 percent on 
recharge of balance for prepaid connections under various titles such as
 operational charge, maintenance fee, administrative fee etc.<br />
Later on, the percentage of these additional charges was revised and 
increased by the operators in 2012, and again in 2013 ranging from 3% to
 5%.<br />
CCP found that these additional charges do not relate to any service offered to the consumers.<br />
CCP, in this regards, asked telecom operators for the information. 
Based on the replies from operators, CCP presented all its findings and 
replies from operators in a fact finding report.<br />
This enquiry report by CCP can be downloaded by <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/download/06bg08tx02aruj2/enquiry_report_on_section_10.pdf" target="_blank">clicking this link</a>.<br />
CCP maintained that all these additional charges may constitute 
hidden costs of acquiring cellular telecommunication telephony and data 
services, giving the impression that the prices of such services are 
lower than they actually are in reality, thereby constituting a 
deceptive marketing practice in violation of Section 10 of the 
Competition Act, 2010.<br />
<div class="adsxpls" id="adsxpls1" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
Hence all five operators were ultimately issued a show-cause notice yesterday to explain their position on additional charges.<br />
Analysts believe that CCP should have considered the cartelization of
 telecom operators as they collectively imposed almost equal service 
charges – against no service – during 2011. These charges were again 
revised and increased in 2012 and 2013 in a set pattern, hinting that 
all operators have joined hands in imposing extra charges under 
different names.<br />
Analysts said that CCP will have to set its direction right to get the telecom customers some relief.<br />
Industry experts said that CCP has simply forgotten that all telecom 
companies are deducting 5 percent service charges on all reloads since 
2008. These 5 percent service charges were first imposed by Telenor<span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> in September 2008, while </span>other operators simply followed<span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> and imposed similar charges later on.</span><br />
CCP probably forgot that cellular companies are charging 8-10 percent
 – and not 3 to 5 percent – of additional charges without offering any 
services.<br />
Just to add, following is the breakdown of charges/taxes a telecom customer pay on telecom services:<br />
<ul>
<li>WHT: 15 percent</li>
<li>GST: 19.5 percent</li>
<li>Additional Charges (imposed in 2008): 5 percent</li>
<li>Additional fee (imposed in 2011, 2012,2012): 3-5 percent</li>
</ul>
Total charges: 15+19.5+5+3-5 = 42.5-44.5 percent.<br />
That is, almost half of the airtime is consumed for paying additional charges and taxes.<br />
Moreover, CCP should also study the similar and equivalent charges 
that were imposed on helpline calls. Its a long way to go CCP!</div>
