OnePlus seems ready to expand its latest generation of Nord devices, the first one to be the successor to last year's Nord CE 4, likely to be called the OnePlus Nord CE 5. The device has already shown up on certification websites — Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA) and Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), in the UAE and India, respectively, pointing to an upcoming launch. The BIS listing in India, spotted under the model number CPH2717, is a strong hint that the Indian debut isn't too far off. Although earlier rumours suggested a May release, fresh updates now point to a June launch window. Considering the brand's previous pricing patterns, the Nord CE 5 could land with a starting price of around Rs 25,000.

advertisementAccording to tipster, Debayan Roy, the device will come with a 6.7-inch Full HD+ OLED display with a flat panel and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, the Nord CE 5 is likely to be powered by MediaTek's Dimensity 8350 chipset, which would be a shift from the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chip found on its predecessor. This new processor should offer good performance for daily tasks and light gaming while keeping power efficiency in check. What's more impressive is the battery — rumours suggest a massive 7,100mAh unit, one of the largest ever in a OnePlus phone. The device is also expected to support 80W fast charging, which should reduce charging time significantly.On the camera front, the phone might feature a dual rear camera setup with a 50-megapixel primary sensor (Sony's LYTIA LYT-600) and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens (Sony IMX355). A 16-megapixel front-facing camera is expected for selfies and video calls. Additional features may include 8GB RAM, up to 256GB of storage, an in-display fingerprint sensor, an IR blaster, a hybrid SIM slot, and a single speaker.advertisement
Leaked renders suggest the Nord CE 5 could sport a new design, including a pill-shaped camera module similar to what we've seen in some iPhone models. The phone might also launch in a new Pink colour variant, giving it a fresh look in the Nord lineup.Alongside the Nord CE 5, OnePlus is also said to be working on the successor to the Nord 4, dubbed the OnePlus Nord 5, which is expected to be a rebranded version of the Chinese OnePlus Ace 5 Racing Edition. However, for now, it'll be the Nord CE 5, which looks set to launch in June.

After ASMI, Lokesh Machines develops India's 1st indigenous pvt sector MMG

Hyderabad: After having successfully hit bullseye with its debut weapon– a 9x19 mm calibre submachine gun (SMG) nicknamed ASMI, which was India's first SMG to be indigenously designed, developed and manufactured by the private sector — Hyderabad-based Lokesh Machines Ltd has now scored another hit. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The CNC machines maker has now developed a first-of-its-kind 7.62x51mm belt-fed medium machine gun (MMG). Just like ASMI, the MMG too has been developed in collaboration with Armament Research and Development Establishment (ARDE), Pune. The MMG, which can operate in both single-shot and automatic modes and is compatible with both Indian and NATO standard ammunition, can fire 800 rounds per minute and boasts of an effective range of 1800 meters. It has a belt capacity of 250 rounds, with the option to attach additional belts for sustained firepower in combat situations and can be mounted on ground vehicles, naval vessels and aircraft. It can operate in extreme temperatures, ranging from -40 to +55 degrees Celsius. The company has now bagged a Rs 17.7 crore order from the Indian Army for the supply of precision components for in-service MMGs after extensive testing of Lokesh's MMG platform, Lokesh Machines said on Wednesday. "Our MMG is about 25% lighter than the MMGs currently in use by the Indian Army, which extensively tested the weapon and it's subassemblies before deciding to upgrade its in-service MMGs with our subassemblies. This will help not only in reduction of weight of existing MMGs but also increase their reliability and functionality," Lokesh Machines director M Srinivas told TOI. The MMG's design also incorporates a single-piece machined receiver and a chromium-plated barrel for extended durability, Srinivas said.

Financial Services for Future-Ready Enterprises with 24X7 Trust

As customer expectations grow and the digital economy expands, intelligence for the enterprise is helping Indian banks move beyond transactions — toward deeper, smarter relationships built on trust, data, and relevance. here's a quiet revolution unfolding in Indian banking, one that is not marked by flashy fintech apps or the next viral payment tool. It's unfolding behind the scenes, in data pipelines, cloud infrastructures, AI models, and contextual algorithms. This is the unfolding age of enterprise intelligence, preparing the ground for serving tomorrow's customers. The future of finance is being shaped not just by technology but by the intelligence that technology is enabling. For decades, banks were seen as institutions of trust. They enjoyed reliability but were seen as slow to change. Today, they are being challenged to be as nimble and personalised as any tech startup, driving the depth that defines traditional banking while enhancing trust in the digital services. Enterprise intelligence , which can help customise services to various segment, helps them achieve that. It enables banks to see, understand, and serve customers not just as account numbers or demographic buckets, but as real people — with evolving needs, financial goals, and digital habits. Serving a New India The banking population in India is vast and diverse, but it's also rapidly evolving. Internet penetration has surged in semi-urban and rural India. Mobile-first behaviour is no longer an urban phenomenon. Within a single household, financial needs can vary dramatically — a teenager wants a prepaid card, a farmer needs a seasonal loan, and a parent is looking at retirement plans. Traditional segmentation fails to address this complexity. This is where data-driven intelligence becomes critical. It helps banks shift from static offerings to micro-personalised services that adapt to an individual's context. It allows institutions to reach millions at scale, with a sense of intimacy and relevance that feels one-on-one. It enables banks to build for a reality where intelligence isn't just a tool. It is the strategy. Non-urban India may have had a different customer profile in the last decade. But mobile-first offerings is making them ask for more and financial services companies are trying to step in. The gap between customers in rural and urban India is reducing. For the companies, complexity is moving to the core of their network while the new age services are being delivered at its edge, expanding customer offerings. Rethinking financial services In practice, the services translates into improved solutions for various industries and institutions. It means launching services that are embedded, intuitive, and life aware. Think mobile banking apps designed not just for adults but for minors, to introduce financial literacy early. Expect SME lending platforms that pre-fill documents and offer instant credit decisions based on cash flow data. Imagine AI-powered customer support that answers in local languages and anticipates needs before customers articulate them. Enterprise intelligence helps banks move beyond generic services to create timely, relevant experiences tailored to the customer needs. It enables them to anticipate needs through behavioural data, automate compliance with intelligent systems, and extend meaningful access to underserved communities through adaptive, inclusive design, all while staying efficient and scalable. It doesn't stop at the retail level. Banks are building platforms for schools to manage fees, hospitals to manage payments, and microfinance institutions to integrate with core banking systems, powered by APIs, cloud-native infrastructure , and predictive analytics. Platform for the Future It is abundantly clear that the customer experience is now as important as the financial product itself. Offering a lucrative interest rate means nothing if the app crashes. A seamless loan journey is more valuable than a flashy ad campaign. Enterprise intelligence is what enables that experience. It allows banks to test, learn, and iterate at speed. It empowers product teams to design with empathy, not assumptions. It brings agility to institutions that once moved slowly, and relevance to systems that once felt outdated. So, what could possibly drive the demand for tomorrow's enterprise intelligence ? The technology at the heart of the enterprise systems need to be simple with the focus on the lifecycle of the asset. Recovery from cyberattacks becomes a key factor that financial services companies look at. The large majority of service consumers are born digital and they want services fast and now. That could be driving the need for future customers' experience. The author is ET Grey Cell teamNote: This article is a part of ETCIO's Brand Connect Initiative.

As Trump tariffs hit India, Apple boosts US investment by $100 billion

Apple said it will invest an additional USD 100 billion in the US over the next four years, expanding domestic manufacturing and supply chain operations after weeks of tension with President Donald Trump over the company's decision to shift iPhone production to is expected to tout the announcement on Wednesday at the White House as a major win for American manufacturing. 'Today's announcement with Apple is another win for our manufacturing industry that will simultaneously help reshore the production of critical components to protect America's economic and national security," White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers said in a move boosts Apple's total US investment commitment to $600 billion, up from the $500 billion the company had previously pledged. The announcement follows criticism from Trump, who earlier this year said there was 'a little problem' with Apple's decision to expand production in India. While in Qatar, the president recalled telling CEO Tim Cook directly: 'I don't want you building in India.'Apple's change of course comes on the same day Trump slapped a 25% additional tariff on Indian goods, citing New Delhi's continued imports of Russian oil. With the new import taxes taking effect in 21 days, total US tariffs on Indian exports could reach 50%.Though Apple didn't comment Wednesday, CEO Tim Cook recently signaled a deeper push into US manufacturing during an earnings call, saying: 'We're doing more in this country, and that's on top of having roughly 19 billion chips coming out of the US now, and we will do more.'The company's new pledge also includes a $500 million deal with MP Materials, the only rare earths producer in the US. That agreement will expand a Texas factory to make recycled magnets used in iPhones.'There's a load of different things done in the United States,' Cook added on the same call. He cited US-made iPhone components like the glass display and facial recognition modules as examples of the company's growing domestic shares surged nearly 6 per cent on the news Wednesday. Nancy Tengler, CEO of Laffer Tengler Investments, which holds Apple stock, said the market's reaction shows relief that Cook 'is extending an olive branch' to the Trump so, Apple's stock remains down 14 per cent this year, weighed down in part by its slow entry into artificial intelligence — a strategic miss that investors say the company is now trying to correct with a pivot back to its strengths in hardware and production.- EndsWith inputs from Associated PressMust Watch
