You can use usb tethering which allows you the same internet speed as in your phone. It's much more stable and faster than hotspot especially with the usb type-c.

Usb tethering is just better fr sharing an internet connection from mobile to PC. Much more stable, fast and reliable than hotspot.

Anonymous, 23 Jul 2024What if you already had a charger? Would you enjoy paying more for one in the box?Yes. I would enjoy knowing that I have got an extra charger irrespective of knowing if they charged extra or not. If I am not getting the charger, it doesn't mean they reduced the price for lack of charger. It didn't happen so far.

Most 5G users are using 5G for just entertainment as far i know and can see.
I'm not sure how is 4G network quality in there like in your country.
If quality ain't good then you all may need 5G as soon as possible.
Here i am happy with 4G device and 4G plan on my mobile for now.
By the way, i do have Wi-Fi connection in my home which is connected to a 1 Gbps unlimited wireline cinbection.
So, that is the reason for me to not jump for 5G fast.

But then I have above average intelligence and I care about my choices. I also am rocking a 4+ year old Realme, that gets the job done. Most other people are not like me. They want the latest bling, even if they know it gets outdated in couple of years.

Sadly only the greedy companies will benefit. The comsumer has to suffer from overpriced phones without chargers, 3.5mm audio jack and many more removed fretures.

Not trying to throw hate or smth, but doesn't this actually increase profits for companies? Like I doubt that they will lower the price of the phone or smth.

No, M35 is not "popular" yet. It launched last week 😂.
Some of the popular phones assembled in India are M30S, M21, M31, M21 (2021), M34, F34, etc.

Dimtons, 23 Jul 2024Goood move by the government, it will create a lot of direct and indirect jobsJust another sniky way to go into the privacy of any person.
Maybe a law to reduce taxes on food, clothing or houses would be much more appreciated and with a greater impact in economy by having a healthier population

When will it be effective. Does the companies pass those on end customers or do they increase their profit margin to get themselves benefited.

Oppo manufactures Realme & OnePlus while Vivo manufacturers IQOO as well. So I don't see any price reduction. All are waiting for 2019 days to come back. #VFMisMust
