Motorola Edge 30 Pro is a great successor to the Edge 20 Pro, which has been around for a while. The Edge 30 Pro is one of the most affordable Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 phones available in the market currently. As far as speed and fluidity are concerned, I don’t think any other phone comes close to this one.
Motorola has added a unique twist to Android called the MYUI, which is thoughtful customization added to the Edge 30 Pro to make things more useful and functional than they would have been in a plain stock Android.
Motorola Edge 30 Pro Detailed Specifications:-
Motorola Edge 30 Pro offers an amazing look with a glass back and a matte finish and comes in a delightful Cosmos Blue colour. The smartphone features a 6.7 inch OLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate. The display is impressive with punchy colours to watch movies and play games. Edge 30 Pro has a set of decent speakers that don’t sound too squeaky and are loud enough with a good base.
Motorola Edge 30 Pro houses a 4,800mAh battery with 68W fast charging support. The phone also supports reverse charging. In about 40 minutes, the phone charges to its maximum and easily lasts for about 14 to 15 hours with regular usage. With less use, Edge 30 Pro would easily last for a day and a half.
Coming to the camera, Moto Edge 30 Pro features a 50-megapixel primary camera with OIS accompanied by another 50-megapixel wide-angle camera. The wide-angle camera also, surprisingly, doubles up as a macro camera. On the front, there is a 60 MP lens for selfies. I clicked some pictures, and the camera performed well during the daylight. The low light images could have been more impressive.
Gaming was a pretty smooth experience overall if we skip the fact that the phone did heat up a bit after half an hour. Still, I believe its a normalcy, and with this powerful chipset, it has got to heat up a bit.
Rear Camera: 50MP (f/1.8, OIS) + 50MP ultra-wide (114-degree FOV) with macro vision support + 2MP depth sensor
Rear Camera Video: 8K (24fps), 4K (up to 60fps)
Front Camera: 60MP (f/2.2)
Speakers: Stereo speakers( Dolby Atmos and Snapdragon Sound)
Battery and charging: 4,800mAh with 68W fast wired and 15W fast wireless charging
Verdict:-
Moto Edge 30 Pro has been priced at Rs 49,999 and is one of the most affordable Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 phones you can buy right now. If you are looking for an excellent performance smartphone with a good camera and gaming backup, you can opt for this smartphone.
RS – Welcome to Exhibit Drives. I’ve come here to pick Arjun Kapoor in this new Volvo XC90. Apparently, I can see that he also has had one for a long time. I don’t know which car he’s going to pick today, but whatever he chooses is going to be a lot of fun conversation. Stay tuned and watch the video until the end because it’s going to be an exciting one.
RS – Hi Arjun, how’s life?
Arjun – Hi Ramesh, all good, how are you?
RS – I’m fine. Now, tell me, which one?
Arjun – Which one?… I already have one in my parking space. So, I’m going to choose the one you brought here.
RS – I thought so.
Arjun – But who’s going to drive? You or me?
RS – Please, let me drive!
Arjun – Okay, cool!
RS – Arjun, I have a surprise for you. Why don’t you open the glovebox?
Arjun – Ohh, nice, but don’t call it my surprise, it’s our surprise.
RS –Now, we’ll play a simple game. It’s called pairing mode, where you have to connect your phone on Bluetooth with this and play your favourite track.
Arjun – I already own one Volvo, which is paired with my phone, and after pairing with this car, my phone would think, “How many Volvo’s this guy is buying?”
RS – So now you have to play the track.
Arjun plays the song.
RS – Nice track
Arjun – This is Diljit Dosanjh
RS – Is he your favourite?
Arjun – Yes, he’s not just my favourite in one thing, I like his fashion sense, his music, and of course his attitude.
RS – Now that we’re talking about music, are you a good singer?
Arjun – Not as good as Diljit, for sure, but I can give it a try because usually nobody likes when I sing, and now that you’ve asked, I’ll try my best.
Arjun sings Bol Naa Halke Halke from Jhoom Barabar Jhoom.
RS – Arjun, I’ll be honest, you suck!
Arjun – I agree
RS – So, Arjun, what are the 5 essential things you carry with you on a road trip?
Arjun – It is difficult to break it down into 5 things. I think the most important is to have a good amount of water and food. These are also necessities because you need to take care of yourself as you are going. It would be best if you had enough ways to charge your phone and electronic devices. So on a road trip, you are not compromising needing help from anyone else if your phone goes off or if your iPad etc., are not working correctly.
Arjun – I think a sleeping bag in case you need a layover somewhere where you are staying if you are staying out in the open in a tent. Great music because, most importantly, to make sure that you’re enjoying the drive and for everybody’s mood. What is the fifth thing? Good company, I think that’s essential on a road trip. You can go alone, but you should find good company on your way somehow.
RS – Who are the 6 people you will take in this 7-seater?
Arjun – Six people?
RS – Or 5 people?
Arjun – I haven’t had a road trip with my family, so I think ideally with my dad, Jahnvi, Khushi, Anshula and myself, that’s about it.
RS – I was expecting some dramatic answers
Arjun – No, no! I am not giving you TRP because I think that is overdue.
RS – Now let’s talk a bit of tech. Tell me, who would you pick, Elon Musk or Steve Jobs?
Arjun – I think for anybody in my generation, with all due respect to what Elon Musk is achieving today, it wouldn’t be possible without appreciating what Steve Jobs did and started the conversation and to go between Microsoft and then evolving his own company, Apple and the kind of tech that Apple has given to the world.
RS – Yeah, I agree with you, Arjun. Steve Jobs is my favourite also. Now since we are talking tech, let’s go deep. What do you think about meta, and what do you think about startups? Do you invest in startups, meta etc.?
Arjun – Where startups are concerned, I have invested in a couple of startups and trying to keep them low profile since we are startups. They should grow for what the business is.
RS – Correct
Arjun – Versus celebrities are coming in to try and push it. The one startup that I have spoken about is a food cloud which is very close to my heart primarily because it’s one of my friends. A couple of my friends from Delhi started this.
RS – So Arjun, what made you buy the XC90 in the first place?
Arjun – In pure, honest terms, the comfort and the fact that driving it is comfortable but along with that being a passenger in the car is even more comfortable because it is one of the smoothest drives. It’s such a silent beauty, it’s a sophisticated car and very understated. I rarely look at cars and pick them up in white, but I fell in love with the fact that it looks so clean. I think the design, slickness, and interiors are value for money. For anybody watching, I have to say, it’s a car that is value for money.
Arjun – I’ve done whatever basic research and study that you do, and you realise what an absolute steal and bargain for the feature. The kind of features and for the kind of sophistication and technology and the styling. It’s a car that I personally enjoy driving, even though I don’t get too much time to drive. My sister is obsessed, and she fights with me to use it. And I have to confess that it’s a car that will be with me for a long, long time because I’d prefer to upgrade it rather than swap. So for me, it’s like, I feel a sense of loyalty to Volvo because of how amazing the car has made me and my family feel.
RS – Arjun, what is the particular feature that you love about the car?
Arjun – Who doesn’t like a good massage?
RS – Yes. I am sure you are having one right now
Arjun – No, I am not. I am being very nice; that is my favourite feature for sure. And then the air cleanser.In a situation where you want to feel good sitting in your car, you know you want to relax and want to be able to breathe easy. It allows it to happen.
RS – So Arjun, what is the next movie?
Arjun – I just wrapped a film called Kuttey. Then there is another film called Villain 2, directed by Mohit Suri, and there is John Abraham, Disha Patni, Tara Sutaria, and myself. Kuttey is Tabu, Naseeruddin Shah, Kumud Mishra, Radhika Madan, Shardul Bhardwaj and myself. So these are the two films I have completed shooting that will hit screens in the second half of this year, and I am going to start a new film with Bhumi in a couple of weeks’ time, called Lady Killer.
RS – Oh wow! You often drive Arjun, or do you prefer being chauffeured around with all the paparazzi etc.?
Arjun – In Mumbai, it becomes difficult to drive because there is chaos around us, like you said. I rarely get to drive, but when I do, I prefer driving the Volvo only as it’s again discreet and low key and you can get away even before people realise who it was in the car.
RS – Are you itching to drive, by the way?
Arjun – Daytime and Sea Link’s combination is perfect to drive. Of course, if you would let me.
RS – Sure, I’ll just pull over now. I shouldn’t have asked this question, but now that I have asked I will switch over.
Music
RS – What is the best time for you to drive?
Arjun – The latter half of the day is easier to drive for me because there is less traffic. When you are working the whole day, you get out driving you definitely want to do it without the traffic, the honking and the chaos. And Mumbai’s traffic is not the easiest to drive. I think a lot, so I do not like to drive in that thought process. I like to drive when my head is clear, and the roads are clear, night is the best time I feel.
RS – I am sure when you drive at night, do these driving assistants really help while parking?
Arjun – For a person like me, whether it is day or night for a person like me. I have to confess, parking in Mumbai is a skill in itself. You may learn to drive, but you need to do a PhD in parking. I have to confess, and this car has made that process much simpler for me, so you don’t feel as paranoid about stepping out with this car because the parking assistant is going to make sure you are not stuck in a difficult situation. It may look easy but is very complicated.
RS – Okay Arjun, we’re in the last leg of the conversation. I enjoyed talking with you about cars, tech, etc. Honestly, I don’t usually let people sit in my driver’s seat.
Arjun – I’m feeling honoured that you let me have it.
RS – So, before we wrap up, you have to say a joke, and before that, please say bye.
Arjun – Bye is better than a joke. First, you made me sing, and now you are asking me to crack a joke.
RS – Come on! It’s time for a joke. So guys, don’t forget to give us a thumbs up. Drop the comments about whatever you liked the best about the video. Arjun, now it’s time for your joke.
Arjun – So there is a very stressed and upset patient who goes to the doctor. The doctor says, what happened? What’s the matter? The patient says I am addicted to Instagram, really addicted, and the situation is really bad. Do something, help me. So the doctor looks around at him very calmly and says I am sorry I don’t follow you.
Beginning with Zen 3 based Ryzen 5000, there are presently three new models. Deeply/16-string 5800X yet with support/base timekeepers diminished to 4.6/3.4GHz. Accordingly, it currently has a lower TDP of 65W and a sticker price of $299. Like the 5800X, you don’t get a container cooler with the 5700X regardless of the lower TDP.

Similarly, the 6-core/12-string 5600X with timekeepers diminished to 4.4/3.5GHz. It’s evaluated at $199 and incorporates the Wraith Stealth cooler. At the base finish of the 5000 series is the new Ryzen 5 5500. The 5500 is the 5600G with the coordinated Vega 7 GPU disabled, and timekeepers decreased to 4.2/3.6GHz. This additionally implies it gets just 19MB of the store (16MB L3, 3MB L2) and PCIe 3.0 help, as it were. It’s evaluated at $159 and accompanies a Wraith Stealth box cooler.
AMD introduced the Ryzen 7 5800X3D CPU returned in January at the same time as teasing the Ryzen 7000 computing device processors. This new Ryzen 7 5800X3D processor builds upon the prevailing octa-middle Ryzen 7 5800X CPU to provide extra overall performance with AMD’s 3-D V-Cache memory. In addition to the new Ryzen 5000 series chips, AMD will also launch three Ryzen 4000 SKUs (Ryzen 5 4600G, Ryzen 5 4500, and Ryzen 3 4100). All of these are 65WTDP entry-level chips for modest buyers.
The 5800X3D is a 5800X powered by AMD’s 3D VCache technology and significantly uses 3D die stacking to increase cache capacity. The standard 5800X has a significant 32MB L3 cache, while the 5800X3D has a whopping 96MB L3 cache. According to AMD, the 5800X is 15 times better than the 5900X in gaming, making it the fastest gaming CPU on the market. The Ryzen 7 5700X is valued at $299, while the Ryzen 5 5600 and the Ryzen 5 5500 will cost you $199 and $159, individually. Concerning the Ryzen 4000 SKUs, they start at $99 for the Ryzen 3 4100 and go up to $154 for the Ryzen 5 4600G with an iGPU. AMD has just declared the accessibility for the Ryzen 7 5800X3D. However, we’re anticipating that different CPUs should hit the racks toward the beginning of April.
Ex: How have things changed ever since Reliance Industries acquired Haptik?
Aakrit: The strategic investment by Jio has helped Haptik secure the support and resources needed to massively scale up operations – enhancing and expanding our Enterprise CX platform that caters to 300+ clients today. This partnership has also boosted Haptik’s existing enterprise business, augmenting our ability to build innovative solutions for enterprise partners across the globe.
Ex: Could you explain Conversational AI in simple terms?
Aakrit: Conversational AI is the term that can be used to describe an AI-enabled chat solution on the brand’s website, app, and any other messaging platforms, and they are widely known as “chatbots”. Brands can leverage the capabilities of a Conversational AI solution to enhance their CX and NPS. We can deploy a Conversational AI solution to reduce customer support costs, boost customer engagement and increase sales.
Ex: How does Haptik stand out in an ocean of similar service providers?
Aakrit: Haptik is the Conversational AI industry pioneer and operates at an unparalleled scale. Haptik also enjoys the trust of some of India’s largest brands. Haptik offers an end-to-end 360° holistic CX suite to our customers. Haptik’s proprietary Natural Language Understanding (NLU) leads the industry with the most human-like conversational experience for our customers.

Apart from having the best-in-class technology, our partners get a top-notch Customer Success team who understands their business goals & objectives and aligns the solution to meet such needs.
Ex: Why should you add Instagram chatbots to your CX stack?
Aakrit: Messaging is an integral part of Instagram; it helps customers connect with brands personally through multiple avenues like Feed, Stories, Mentions, and DM’s. It is a solid revenue stream for many brands. It boosts sales by accelerating the decision-making process for customers, increases average cart order, improves conversions, and drives repeat purchases. The AI chatbot can collect basic user details such as email, phone number, and intent of reaching out.
Instagram chatbots can answer prices, order statuses, cancellations, and other typical questions. If a customer issue is complicated, it can be automatically escalated to a live person based on their skill sets and current workload, leading to faster responses, lower wait times, and improved customer satisfaction. Instagram chatbots can also be leveraged to drive deeper customer engagement through unique features such as Trigger keyword-based conversations, Icebreakers & Advertising CTA.
Ex: What are the current and emerging trends of WhatsApp e-commerce?
Aakrit: WhatsApp recently launched its new UI elements, a game-changer for the Conversational Commerce space. The new UI elements will boost the adoption of WhatsApp as a substantial revenue generator for multiple brands across different industries.
WhatsApp also launched Marketing Notifications, known as non-transactional messages, to revolutionize how brands imagine customer engagement. In addition to the new UI elements, WhatsApp has also enabled brands to provide a seamless 3-click payment experience.
Ex: How are small businesses using WhatsApp to drive sales?
Aakrit: WhatsApp has been an asset for every small business. WhatsApp’s products have always prioritized the growth of SMBs. Haptik launched Interakt, a custom WhatsApp solution for small business owners who want to leverage the power of WhatsApp. With the help of WhatsApp Catalogs & Carts, brands can transform WhatsApp into a sales channel by helping customers discover & purchase products here!
The Automated Business Notifications feature enables brands to efficiently manage customer conversations and improve their experience by creating automated workflows. Businesses can also send Bulk Campaigns & Broadcasts to reach out to their customers with relevant communication to build recall and boost sales. Brands can also roll out high-performing, top-of-the-mind notifications to alert users about new product catalogues, back-in-stock goods, and much more.
Ex: What are Haptik’s plans for growth and future endeavours?
Aakrit: We always think of expansion in terms of three different axis: new geography, new products, and new types of customers. As far as geography is concerned, we’ve expanded into four new countries this past year, all of which are in the development stage right now – North America (USA), South East Asia (Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines), Africa.
The second axis is new products. We have launched three to five new products this year, all beyond the standard chatbot offering. These include AI Agent Assist, Voice bot, Email bot, and two more products are coming up this month. And then finally, the third axis is new types of customers. Before this year, we have exclusively focused on Enterprise Customers. But this year, we launched a product for small and medium businesses, which is called Interakt. Interakt in one year is approaching almost half a million dollars in ARR. It is already contributing to roughly 5% of Haptik’s business, and in the next financial year, it could contribute to maybe 20% of Haptik’s business.
Technology can indeed be regarded as the marvel of the 21st century. The dynamic pace at which technology is becoming obsolete and replaced by new technology is commendable. Today, the way people connect and communicate clearly elucidates the fact that communication technology has evolved drastically.
Back in 2006, when Facebook was officially launched in India, it immediately replaced the then social media applications like Orkut. Facebook, followed by WhatsApp and then Instagram, has clearly revolutionized the segment of personal communication. Instagram undeniably is the bearer of the limelight. It allows its users to click pictures, followed by various filters to edit the picture and upload on the same platform.
Two of the most recognized filters of the gram are hyperlapse and boomerang, which are now removed from the apple and google play stores. The primary question that arises is why these filters are removed despite being so much in demand. The answer is that the feature of these applications is being integrated into Instagram itself, thus eliminating the need for standalone applications.
One of the key advantages of integrating these filters in Instagram is that it eases the use. Instead of using two separate applications, one application comes in handy. Second, Instagram possesses more downloads and usage than these two applications combined, thus increasing the more frequent use of these filters. Third, it helps in mainstreaming the images on one platform and hence is eases the hassle of saving images separately on a different application.
Devita Saraf, Chairman and CEO, Vu Group, at the best TV launch of 2022, said, “Vu Televisions launches the Vu Masterpiece Glo QLED and this TV is the ultimate showcase of how Vu has blended every aspect of luxury in technology – from Quality, Innovation, Design, Technology, Software, Hardware, Customer Experience and more”. She further added on the inspiration behind the TV saying, “In this universe of NFTs and Metaverse, art is also becoming digital and you require a platform that really showcases it in a mesmerizing manner and for that what you need is a Masterpiece. This isn’t just a TV, this is the Vu Masterpiece Glo QLED!”
Vu Televisions is the first and only brand in India to be associated with an alliance of Top Hollywood Directors like Martin Scorsese and Christopher Nolan to enable Filmmaker Mode in the TV. The Vu Masterpiece Glo QLED TV with the Filmmaker Mode shows content exactly in the vision that the director created.

Vu Televisions has been the experts in television for over a decade and have their R&D where the product is built from scratch to masterpiece considering that the content will be played on a big screen which has a real estate of 140 mobile phones and makes sure that every corner of the television is able to showcase the perfect picture quality suitable for every viewing angle. To enable this, Vu has created the FractalVu technology. FractalVu is inspired by the naturally occurring pattern called fractals.
Something as simple as a leaf and look at it under a microscope you see a smaller version of the same leaf, and the pattern repeats itself to infinity. Learning from how nature creates detail, Vu took this idea and built a screen mosaic of multiple micro screens, each with its fractal intelligence in which the blacks look deeper, and colours look truer. The brand had launched the Vu Masterpiece 85″ QLED in 2020 and is the highest selling 85″ TV in India. The Vu Masterpiece Glo QLED will be available on Amazon and Vustore.com at Rs. 74,999 for 55-inch, Rs. 99,999 for the 65inch and Rs. 179,999 for the 75-inch.
