OnePlus-Oppo Merger: Impacts

I bought OnePlus 6 way back in 2018, and still using it as my primary phone. I didn't buy another second smartphone til 2020, or didn't upgrade OnePlus 6 as my mobile photography goes pretty fine with OP6. Yes I bought few lens as add-on and they just enlarge the vision of two cameras of OP6. 

As days go by, I must say OnePlus has been able promote themselves as a global company with a market in US - thanks to their Android fork, OxygenOS. 

In the  of June '21 we got the news of merger between OnePlus & Oppo. This is a kind of shock to many OnePlus fanboys - kind of insecurity feeling was propelled among them. Soon after the merger, it's been announced that OnePlus will be a subsidiary of Oppo but will act independently. And we also came to know that the source codes of the OxygenOS and ColorOS will be merged.

Jio vs Airtel vs Vi - LTE/4G Speed Comparison !

After the amalgamation of Vodafone India and Idea Telecom, a new brand identity emerged in the Indian telecom scenario - Vi (pronounced as we). However analysts believe the new company, though incumbent in terms of operation is way far behind the top two - Jio and Airtel. 

But that does not mean Vi is not offering good services, they are changing their core strategy as per the market needs. Well the change is inevitable, and in the COVID situation it demands more innovation. Moreover globally big telecom players are repositioning them as a digital platform along with good digital services as backbone. 

Vi is not an exception. They are promoting their 4G services as GIGAnet, and many circles they are promoting their 4G services as 'India's fastest 4G'. Well that's not a completely wrong, as Vi 4G network is quite underutilized compared to Jio and Airtel, as Vi lost huge number of subscribers.
