Vivo Y400 5G mobile launch: India release date, expected specs, and more details
Vivo Y400 Launch Date And More
The Vivo Y400 will launch on 4 August in the Indian market and will be available in two colours: Glam White and Olive Green. Based on official teasers from the brand, it may also feature a dual-camera setup (remains to be see what the secondary lens does).
Vivo Y400: Expected Specs
Reports suggest this could be launched around ₹20,000. Currently, however, the brand has yet to reveal the phone's official specifications. What is clear from the teasers is that the dual camera could be accompanied by Aura Light, similar to that seen on other Vivo phones.
Reports also suggest that the phone could have a 6,000mAh battery supporting 90W fast charging. It may also have dual IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance. For software, it may run Funtouch OS 15 with Android 15.
Coming to the design, it is expected to feature a textured design on the back with the Glam White variant, quite reminiscent of the Vivo Y400 Pro model.
More should become clear as we approach the launch date. That said, Vivo also launched another phone in the Indian market today, namely, the Vivo T4R. It packs a MediaTek Dimensity 7400, dual IP68 and IP69 ratings, and a 50MP main camera, and is reminiscent of the iQOO Z10R, which launched earlier this month in the Indian market.

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

Decoding China, the lessons for a vulnerable India
The exodus of over 300 Chinese engineers from Foxconn's pivotal iPhone 17 manufacturing facilities in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka — a recent move ostensibly executed under corporate directive — is far more than an administrative recalibration. It is a meticulously calibrated stratagem, designed to arrest India's burgeoning manufacturing ambitions and to perpetuate a 'unipolar Asia' under Beijing's overarching economic hegemony. A geo-economic move This calculated withdrawal is not simply a logistical reshuffling. It is a subtle, yet potent, geo-economic manoeuvre by a rival apprehensive of a rising India. The recall of these highly specialised technicians, possessed of invaluable expertise in establishing sophisticated production lines, optimising operational efficiencies, and troubleshooting the labyrinthine complexities of modern manufacturing, represents a deliberate impediment to the crucial transfer of technology. Such knowledge is the bedrock upon which India seeks to construct its edifice of advanced electronics manufacturing, and its withholding strikes at the very heart of India's aspirational ascent. In addition, China has leveraged its dominance in rare earth production and processing by restricting exports of rare earths (which include elements such as gallium, germanium, graphite), and rare earth magnets, which are crucial for electric vehicles and electronics, to India. China has also imposed curbs on the export of other critical minerals that are vital for various high-tech industries. There have also been informal trade restrictions on the export of capital equipment from China to India, including high-end manufacturing equipment for electronics assembly and other sectors, heavy-duty boring machines and solar equipment, severely impacting India's ability to set up and expand its own manufacturing facilities. The broader implication of these actions, particularly the recall of engineers and restrictions on specialised equipment, is a deliberate attempt to limit the transfer of advanced manufacturing technology and know-how to India. This aims to keep India dependent on Chinese inputs and prevent it from developing a truly self-reliant high-value manufacturing base. Crucially, many of these restrictions are not formalised bans but are implemented through verbal instructions and administrative delays. This makes them harder to directly challenge but equally effective in disrupting supply chains, increasing costs, and creating uncertainty for Indian manufacturers. In essence, China's strategy is multi-pronged, leveraging its control over crucial raw materials, manufacturing equipment, and even human capital to impede India's manufacturing ascent, especially in the high-stakes electronics and emerging technology sectors. These actions, when viewed through the prism of Beijing's anxieties concerning India's emergence as a potentially formidable manufacturing competitor in an era of 'friend-shoring' by the West, align perfectly with its broader strategic calculus. China's economic success is increasingly predicated upon maintaining robust export revenues. Consequently, any nation daring to challenge its pre-eminence in global manufacturing, particularly in high-value sectors such as electronics, is inevitably perceived not merely as a competitor but also as an existential threat. The withdrawal of these engineers, therefore, constitutes a potent stratagem to disrupt India's trajectory and safeguard China's long-entrenched export market share and economic primacy in the region and beyond. India's ambition to transform itself into a globally competitive manufacturing hub is seen in Beijing as a direct challenge to China's long-term stability. The reality in China Consider the demographic exigencies currently confronting China: an ageing and progressively shrinking populace, an unfortunate legacy of the protracted one-child policy, coupled with a palpable erosion of wealth occasioned by an enduring property crisis — even as local satraps exceed production targets in their zeal to impress Beijing. This widening structural imbalance between an excessive production capacity and faltering domestic consumption increasingly compels China to lean heavily on export revenues to underwrite its fiscal outlays and maintain a semblance of economic progress. As its social welfare and pension liabilities burgeon exponentially, the Chinese government finds itself under mounting fiscal duress. Any reduction of export revenues would directly impinge upon Beijing's capacity to fund critical domains such as domestic security and military expenditure, potentially precipitating an undesirable degree of social instability. China's formidable trade surplus, now on the cusp of a trillion dollars, is not solely a testament to its industrial prowess but also a stark manifestation of weak internal consumption and persistent industrial overcapacity. The People's Bank of China's repeated interest rate reductions on savings accounts have largely failed to ignite internal demand. This chronic overcapacity, therefore, constrains Chinese enterprises to aggressively depress prices and inundate international markets in a desperate bid to remain solvent — a strategy that has, perhaps ironically, severely eroded profitability across a plethora of sectors. As a result, China's determined endeavours to stymie competition are not merely a reflection of simple geopolitical rivalry. Rather, they are an undeniable reflection of profound domestic compulsions. Should India, by dint of astute policy and diligent execution, succeed in getting its house in order and convincingly demonstrate the potential to compete comprehensively in the global manufacturing landscape, Beijing is highly likely to escalate its countermeasures. These could range from the insidious pressures of economic coercion to outright military posturing, all in a relentless quest to safeguard its core economic interests and, by extension, its internal stability. However, the news of the U.S. raising India's tariffs to 50%, even while China enjoys a 90-day exemption from punitive tariffs despite buying more Russian oil and gas than India does, makes India less of a threat to China. While India has been seen as a key partner in western efforts to diversify supply chains away from China, the imposition of the new U.S. tariffs serves as a reminder that all alignments carry their own fragilities, and underscores the need for India to build true strategic autonomy. The Indian Prime Minister's forthcoming visit to Beijing comes against this complex backdrop. An appraisal of India's strengths, shadows China's industrial pre-eminence is not fortuitous or trivial; it is a systemic dominance that spans critical and emerging sectors, from the esoteric realms of Artificial Intelligence and quantum computing to the cutting-edge frontiers of 6G telecommunications and electric vehicles. We need to understand that China does not merely export goods; it orchestrates and largely controls global supply chains in these advanced technologies. Even its overcapacity, otherwise a sign of economic infirmity, is being deftly weaponised as a strategic instrument for price suppression and audacious market capture. The aggressive pricing strategies employed by behemoths such as BYD in the electric vehicle segment are a quintessential illustration: by flooding global markets with irresistibly priced goods, China effectively stifles nascent competition and inexorably solidifies its global market share. This is economic statecraft in action. In stark contrast, India's manufacturing ecosystem, despite its vibrant aspirations, remains undeniably nascent. The cherished dream of transforming into a global 'manufacturing hub' frequently founders upon a litany of formidable hurdles, including persistent infrastructure lacunae and the pervasive sclerosis of bureaucratic red tape. We remain regrettably reliant on imports for a pantheon of crucial components — ranging from sophisticated chips and engines to semiconductors and sensors — even for the foundational 'screwdriver technology' indispensable for basic assembly. This profound reliance on external sources underscores the considerable ground India must traverse to genuinely metamorphose into a self-sufficient manufacturing powerhouse. 'Make in India' still needs help from outside India. From Beijing's vantage point, China has nothing to worry about yet; its actions against India are an effort to neutralise potential 'noise' within its immediate periphery while it assiduously scales up its economic and political corridors with key strategic partners across the sprawling geographies of Pakistan,the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), Africa, and Latin America. India's narrative of offering an alternative to the Chinese behemoth falters on our own dependence. If India genuinely harbours the ambition to 'compete' on the global stage, it needs a laser-like focus on its own foundational development. That is what China's behaviour has taught India: The onus is on us Indians.
