Vivo X200 and X200 Pro camera-centric smartphones to launch in India on December 12

<ul><li>The Indian PC market recorded its second-best quarter with a shipment of 4.49 million devices in Q3 2024.</li><li>The growth in part is due to the online festival sales by e-commerce giants and retailers.</li><li>HP continues to lead the Indian PC market with a share of over 29%.</li></ul> The Indian personal computer or PC market has recorded its second highest-ever shipments at 4.49 million devices in Q3 2024, recording a 0.1% growth year-on-year. According to a report by the International Data Corporation (IDC), the growth in sales was recorded due to online festival sales which began early this year. “The e-tail sales, which typically start around the second week of October, began in late September, leading to a surge in PC shipments,” said Bharath Shenoy, Research Manager, IDC India &amp; South Asia. In Q3 2024, desktops recorded an 8.1% year-on-year decline, notebooks recorded a 2.8% year-on-year growth and workstations recorded a 2.4% year-on-year growth. Premium notebooks priced above $1,000 recorded a 7.6% year-on-year growth. “Brands capitalized on e-tail sales by offering steep discounts, cashback, and bundled accessories. Many of them also matched similar pricing in their brand stores and offline channels like Larger Format Retail stores (LFRs), leading to the second biggest consumer quarter in history,” Shenoy added.

Mumbai: The rupee slipped 1 paisa to an all-time low of 84.40 against the US dollar in early trade on Wednesday, as persistent <keyword id="20520117" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="foreign-fund-outflows" source="keywords">foreign fund outflows</keyword> and a muted trend in domestic equities weighed on the local unit. Forex traders said the USDINR pair has shown significant volatility in recent sessions, with the rupee inching closer to its all-time low of 84.40. This downward pressure is largely driven by global factors, particularly the Dollar Index's strengthening. At the interbank foreign exchange, the rupee opened at 84.40 against the greenback, registering a fall of 1 paisa over its previous close. On Tuesday, the rupee fell 1 paisa to a new lifetime low of 84.39 against the US dollar. "It appears that the rupee has established support around the current levels, with depreciation limited near 84.50," CR Forex Advisors MD Amit Pabari said. Pabari further added that the RBI stands tall as the depreciation in the rupee seems to be limited as the <keyword id="19899810" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Reserve-Bank-of-India" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Reserve Bank of India" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Reserve Bank of India">Reserve Bank of India</keyword> (RBI) continues to sell the dollars to protect the sharp depreciation. "For the 5th consecutive week, India's forex reserves declined, possibly due to RBI selling the dollars. Currently, the forex reserves of India stand at USD 682 billion down from the recent all-time high of USD 704 billion," he said. Meanwhile, the dollar index, which gauges the greenback's strength against a basket of six currencies, was trading lower by 0.04 per cent at 105.98. Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, rose 0.25 per cent to USD 72.07 per barrel in futures trade. On the domestic equity market front, Sensex was trading 210.66 points, or 0.27 per cent lower, to 78,464.52 points. The Nifty fell 100.45 points, or 0.42 per cent, to 23,783.00 points. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) were net sellers in the capital markets on Tuesday, as they offloaded shares worth Rs 3,024.31 crore, according to exchange data. On the macroeconomic front, retail inflation breached the Reserve Bank's upper tolerance level, soaring to a 14-month high of 6.21 per cent in October mainly on account of rising food prices. Inflation based on the consumer price index (CPI) was 5.49 per cent in September and 4.87 per cent in the year-ago month. India's industrial production expanded by 3.1 per cent in September after recording a contraction in the preceding month, as all three major segments -- mining, manufacturing, and power generation -- showed improvement. However, the growth in the Index of Industrial Production (IIP) during the month was lower than 6.4 per cent registered in September 2023.

However, it said that fluctuations in <keyword id="19936629" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="commodity-prices" source="keywords">commodity prices</keyword>, especially for critical imports like oil, metals, and agricultural products, can impact India's trade balance and inflation levels. The Survey said that though ongoing geopolitical headwinds impacted India's merchandise exports, lowering international commodity prices ensured a lower trade deficit in FY24 than in FY23. The country's merchandise trade deficit narrowed to USD 240 billion in 2023-24 from USD 265 billion in 2022-23. It added that changes in trade policies by major trading partners or geopolitical developments can affect India's export opportunities and market access. "In the coming years, India's trade deficit is expected to decline further as the <keyword id="19981334" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="PLI-scheme" source="keywords">PLI scheme</keyword> is expanded and India creates a globally competitive manufacturing base in several product categories," the Survey said. It added that the recently signed FTAs (free trade agreements) are expected to increase the <keyword id="22374533" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="global-market-share" source="keywords">global market share</keyword> of the country's exports. The PLI scheme for sectors like mobile manufacturing, information technology (IT) hardware, pharmaceutical, telecommunications, and food product are helping to increase manufacturing and cut imports. India has implemented <keyword id="20000557" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="FTA" source="keywords">FTA</keyword> with Mauritius, Australia and the UAE. It added that a narrowing merchandise trade deficit and rising service exports have improved the CAD (<keyword id="20054874" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="current-account-deficit" source="keywords">current account deficit</keyword>), ending with a surplus of 0.6 per cent of GDP in Q4 of FY24. However, the risks to the performance of India's external sector are on the downside due to the persistence of current <keyword id="19955176" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="geopolitical-tensions" source="keywords">geopolitical tensions</keyword> and policy uncertainty, it said. Some of the challenges listed by the survey includes fall in demand from major trading partners like the US, rise in trade cost, and volatility in commodity prices. Attacks on shipping in the Red Sea and drought in the Panama Canal have resulted in trade flows being re-routed, increasing journey time and costs. India's merchandise trade relies heavily on maritime trade, so disturbances in major shipping routes can impact its economy. "It is critical to explore what these changing paradigms mean for India. Policies need to be a mix that straddles security concerns with economic considerations," the survey said, adding India's push towards manufacturing in complex and niche sectors through schemes such as PLI and Make in India aims to balance these goals. Further, the survey emphasised on the need to focus on improving India's competitiveness in many product areas. For example, it said, India has tremendous potential in becoming a large global exporter in agricultural commodities. Fostering stronger regional trade ties and adding more markets for Indian goods will help mitigate global demand fluctuations. "In an era when global economic growth is likely to be buffeted by geopolitical tensions and protectionism, growing India's exports of goods and services will be a stiffer challenge than before," it cautioned. Commenting on this, Rumki Majumdar, Economist, Deloitte India, said that despite global uncertainties, India's exports are recording positive growth rates. "That shows the resilience of our exports amidst global uncertainties," she said, adding, "by transforming our export basket and focusing on higher margins and value addition across various sectors, India will easily achieve its ambition of USD 2 trillion in exports by 2030-31."

<keyword id="19936542" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Vivo" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Vivo" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Vivo">Vivo</keyword>'s next flagship product, the <keyword id="22590722" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Vivo-X200-Pro" source="keywords">Vivo X200 Pro</keyword> is expected to launch in India soon. The phone launched in China earlier this month and since then, rumours around its India launch have been doing rounds. Building on the popularity of last year’s Vivo X100, which launched in India in December, Vivo’s new flagship is likely to follow a similar release schedule. Speculations suggest the Vivo X200 Pro could hit the Indian market as early as November or December. While Vivo remains tight-lipped about the exact launch date, recent certification listings hint at a rollout soon. With its latest model, Vivo appears to be blending its signature camera expertise with updated design and robust performance, making it a contender for photography enthusiasts, power users, and tech-savvy individuals alike. Here’s a closer look at what the X200 Pro has to offer and why it’s attracting significant buzz even before its official India debut. <h2>Vivo X200 Pro expected specs </h2> Looking at the phone that was launched in China, the Vivo X200 Pro takes a different approach from its predecessors, trading the sleek curves and edge-to-edge feel for a flat display with a boxier frame. This change in design caters to those who prefer a more substantial feel in their hands, aligning with trends seen in some premium smartphones that prioritize aesthetics and functionality. The familiar circular rear camera module, a hallmark of the X-series, remains, giving the phone a touch of continuity. While subtle, these design updates offer a refreshed yet recognisable look. Vivo’s reputation as a camera-centric brand is further cemented in the X200 Pro, which boasts an impressive camera setup in collaboration with Zeiss. The triple-lens configuration includes a 50-megapixel LYT-818 main sensor and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens for sweeping landscape shots. However, the true showstopper here is the 200-megapixel Zeiss APO telephoto camera, designed to capture minute details and offer striking zoom quality. In the front, the X200 Pro sports a 32-megapixel front camera. With software tweaks and AI enhancements, it promises to provide exceptional results, both in low light and in everyday settings. Vivo’s use of Zeiss optics and processing technology underscores its dedication to high-quality imaging, catering to everyone from casual photographers to content creators. The phone features a 6.78-inch OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It also comes with a peak brightness of 4500 nits. Under the hood, the X200 Pro runs on MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400 chipset, supported by up to 16GB of RAM and an impressive 1TB of internal storage. The X200 Pro’s 6,000mAh battery promises that the phone has the endurance to last through extended usage, and it supports 90-watt fast charging, providing a quick boost when needed. <h2>When is Vivo’s X200 Pro coming in India? </h2> Although Vivo hasn’t officially confirmed the India launch date, industry experts speculate that it could be unveiled within the next two months. The recent certification sightings on Taiwan’s NCC and Malaysia’s SIRIM sites suggest that Vivo is preparing for a broader release beyond China. Given the growing demand for high-quality smartphones that can double as professional cameras, the X200 Pro is positioned to capture a significant share of India’s premium smartphone market. The expected November-December timeline could align well with holiday season sales, giving Indian consumers a chance to upgrade their devices during a peak shopping period. While official pricing remains unannounced, Vivo’s competitive pricing strategies in the past suggest the X200 Pro could appeal to a wide range of users looking for flagship features without the flagship price tag.
