According to a new report from market research firm Counterpoint Research, Samsung’s share of India’s premium smartphone market – currently at 58% – may come down drastically to 35% in the fourth quarter of 2016. Not only would this be the lowest share of the South Korean company in many years, but it would also result in the firm losing its top spot in the country’s premium segment, which includes phones priced at INR 30,000 (around $450) and above. As for why Samsung would be losing such a significant chunk, the report notes several reasons: the Galaxy Note7 fiasco and strong iPhone 7 sales.

Athe report also notes that Samsung’s loss would be Apple’s gain – the Cupertino-based company is expected to claim a share of 57% in India’s premium smartphone market in Q4. When reached out for comment, Manu Sharma (Vice President, Mobile Business, Samsung India) refuted such reports, saying,

“We don’t agree at all. We are doing exceedingly well with record sales in the mobile business, and the festive season has started on a high for us. We continue to sustain our leadership position across all price points. We see a very good off-take of powerful S7 and S7 Edge devices… The industry analysts’ research reports are not based on empirical facts. Therefore, such projections by any research agency or analyst are incorrect,” he added.

Melinda Gates says she is concerned that more than a billion women in the developing world don’t have access to cell phones. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, the co-founder of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation said the cellphone is the basic building block for reaching poor women with the financial services they need.

“There is a gap in women’s access to phones and financial services,” she said last month. “We want first to close the mobile phone gap and then focus on financial services.” Close to 1.7 billion women in low- and middle-income countries don’t own mobile phones, according to estimates from GSMA, a global association of cellular service providers. More than 400 million fewer women than men have cellular phones in those countries.

More than half of that gender gap is in India, creating a kind of digital purdah for the women of the subcontinent, who often find themselves barred by fathers and husbands from taking advantage of technological leaps that benefit men, as outlined in a recent article in The Wall Street Journal.

According to estimates by the Internet and Mobile Association of India, only around 30% of internet users in India are female. A government survey 2014 found that 9% of females surveyed knew how to do an internet search or send an email compared with more than 16% of males. Meanwhile, according to consultancy, the country has close to three men on Facebook for every woman. We Are Social. The ratio is about one to one in most other parts of the world.

Mobile phones are dramatically bringing down the cost of providing basic financial services. Still, too often, people outside the formal banking system who would benefit most from easier access to savings, small loans, and money-transfer facilities can’t be reached using the new technology because they don’t have mobile phones.

The Gates Foundation is working with mobile operators and others in the GSMA Mobile Money Programme, which tries to encourage more mobile money services to close to two billion unbanked or outside the formal banking system.

For financial inclusion in emerging markets like India, digital inclusion of women is particularly important, said Ms. Gates, because women are more likely than men to use financial services and more likely to use them in a way that will benefit their families. “We know that if a woman has economic assets, she plows the money back into her family,” she said. “If a woman can save 1, 2, 3 dollars, she can protect against future health shocks in her family.”

NEW DELHI: In a move aimed at Icas Network and to check any possibility of information leakage through hacking of communication devices, Union ministers have been asked not to carry mobile phones in Cabinet meetings.

The Cabinet Secretariat has recently issued a directive to private secretaries of the concerned ministers in this regard.
“It has been decided that smartphones/mobile phones will henceforth not be permitted inside the meeting venues of Cabinet/Cabinet Committees,” it said.

The private secretaries have been asked to brief the ministers on this appropriately. The move assumes significance as security agencies have raised doubts about mobile phones’ security, which are prone to hacking. Official sources said the measure would ensure that the most sensitive discussion during cabinet meetings remains secret.
