NEW DELHI: Putting weeks of rumours and leaks to rest, OnePlus has finally launched its newest smartphone - OnePlus 3T. An upgraded version of the company's existing flagship smartphone OnePlus 3, the One Plus 3T comes with improved specifications and features than its predecessor. These include a faster chipset, better front-facing camera and bigger battery. 

The smartphone is priced at HK$3388, which roughly converts to Rs 29,600 and will be available starting November 28. However, there's no word about the OnePlus 3T's availability in India yet. The handset will be available through the company's official website in the US (from November 22) and the European regions (from November 28), with prices starting at USD 439, EUR 439 and GBP 399. 

Crafted out of anodized aluminium, the new OnePlus 3T is available in Soft Gold and Gunmetal colour variants. However, its overall design is the same as the OnePlus 3. 

OnePlus 3T runs OxygenOS v3.5 based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow and has a 5.5-inch Full HD Optic Amoled display of 1080x1920 pixel resolution. OnePlus' software based display tweaks such as Night Mode, Light/Dark theme and Accent colours are there as well. 

Both OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T will receive Android 7.0 Nougat update later this year, OnePlus has said. 

The new OnePlus smartphone is powered by Qualcomm's newest and most powerful chipset - Snapdragon 821. This is complemented by 6GB of RAM, in line with previous rumours. In addition to the standard 64GB in-built storage capacity, the new OnePlus 3T is available in another variant having 128GB of internal storage. 

OnePlus 3T has a 16MP primary camera with a Sony IMX298 sensor and LED flash. The camera is capable of recording 4K video, as well as slo-mo (120fps) videos in HD resolution. It boasts features like Optical Image Stabilization, Electronic Image Stabilization and Phase Detection Autofocus (PDAF).

Connectivity options of the OnePlus 3T include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth v4.2, NFC, GPS, Glonass and 4G LTE. For audio, the smartphone comes with Dirac HD sound technology, something also present in the OnePlus 3. Obviously, the smartphone supports dual-SIM functionality.

PAYTM KA ATM

We all know that Paytm is coming up in to a Banking System

Paytm Payments Bank is going to have a million points from where cash can be withdrawn. The entire banking system, all the bank branches and ATMs cumulatively, currently offers only a third of that. Sharma’s bank will basically turn any merchant and corner store into a cash withdrawal point called ‘Paytm ka ATM’.

But the system of withdrawing the money is completely different from other Banking systems….. So, How the Authentication will work....... Let’s wait and see……….

It will be a combination of several things. It will utilize the Aadhaar backbone, which means the devices with merchants could be equipped with fingerprint or iris scanners, or both.

Paytm Payments Bank is going to authenticate transactions using voice as a unique biometric signature. In effect, this means you can walk into any establishment that is a ‘Paytm ka ATM’ and ask for money. And when it asks for authentication, the customer will get a call on their phone, and they just have to say a pre-set pass phrase, like “My name is Arjun.”

“Your voice is as unique a signature as iris or fingerprints,” says Sharma, adding that the technology works even if you have a cough or cold. It works in any language.

So, finally will people like to habituate to this kind of system or not is a million dollar question…… Let’s wait and see…….

Current Trends of Wealth Management

Hot Trends of Wealth Management Firm’s In Market:

I can say one important threat is going to affect, the Current Trend of Wealth Management

• Technology

In present scenario Technology is rapidly updating day-by-day.

So, how it is going to affect mutual funds is a million dollars question......

Now let's come to the point.....

It is the continuing rise of robo-advices in wealth management. Consumers who could not previously afford advice now have access to quality advice at a much lower price point while some consumers who are having device started experimenting with this new advisory model and shifting some of their financial assets over.

So what was a niche offering as recently as two or three years ago is now finding its way into the service lineups of the larger, traditional wealth and asset management firms. We predict that within the coming year, we’ll also see adjacent players like banks and insurance companies begin to offer digital, automated, low-touch advisory services of their own.

Now all the firms have to think about a question; They will also have to think through the impact on human advisors: does technology empower them, replace them, or a little bit of both?

So, will these robo-advices are going to replace human advisors? Yes, very soon. So, how far it will leads; any idea? We have to wait and see!
