OnePlus 5,the company's most expensive smartphone

With just a few days to go for the launch of OnePlus 5 (June 20), one of the most-anticipated phones of the year, the rumour mill has been abuzz with details about the phone. (The India unveiling event is scheduled for June 22.)

Though the company has confirmed that the smartphone will sport a dual-camera setup and run on powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC, not much else is known about the phone.

However if the latest rumours are to be believed, the new smartphone will be priced much higher compared to the company's OnePlus 3T that comes with a Rs 29,999 price tag.

According to website True tech, the 6 GB RAM and 64 GB storage version of the OnePlus 5 will retail for Rs. 32,999, while the 8 GB RAM and 128 GB storage will cost you Rs. 37,999.

It's not just the price that has been creating waves, a sneak peek of the phone's design via a tweet shared by co-founder and CEO Pete Lau has left users wondering whether the phone will look exactly like the iPhone 7 Plus.

However since no other pictures of the phone have been revealed, we'll have to wait and see whether it will resemble the Apple device or have an infinity display like Samsung's latest offering Galaxy S8.

Amazon ends unlimited cloud storage, offers upto 5 GB free for new users

Amazon has ended its unlimited cloud storage offering for Amazon Drive users, offering two new paid options of 100 GB for 11.99 dollars and 1 TB for 59.99 dollars. Users can continue to add storage up to a cap set at 30 TB, with an additional 59.99 dollars per TB.

Until now, users could store as much data as they liked on Amazon’s servers paying 60 dollars a year for data and 12 dollars a year for just unlimited photos. Amazon has clarified though that Amazon Prime users will continue to enjoy their unlimited photos subscription. The changes will set in today for all users apart from those already subscribed to the unlimited storage plan until the end of the subscription.

Adding on the changes, Amazon also confirmed that users taking advantage of the unlimited storage deal who do not want to start paying for the new plans will have a total of 180 days to download and save a backup of their data or delete it, using Amazon’s Drive Desktop application. Following the grace period, Amazon will start deleting content starting with most recent uploads until the account falls within the new parameters.

New users who sign up for Amazon Drive will be given up to 5 GB of storage, similar to that offered on Apple’s iCloud. The move by Amazon was expected sooner or later as was the case with rival cloud storage providers in Dropbox and Google Drive, as well as Microsoft’s OneDrive.

You have to pay more for imported products

Consumer durables such as smart phones that are imported could see a temporary spike in prices as India transitions to the goods and services tax (GST) that’s set to be rolled out from July 1. That’s because the benefit of the special credit transfer scheme has been restricted to manufacturers.

The latest transition rules approved by the GST Council allow full credit for central excise duty paid on goods over Rs 25,000 that have a chassis number or any other identification for tracking the product. But this facility is available only for manufactured goods.

Thus, those selling imported goods will need to claim deemed credit of 60% or 40% of the central GST paid, depending on the tax rate levied on the products.

They will not be able to claim credit of the entire amount of countervailing duty and additional customs duty paid on such imported goods, possibly leading to a sudden spike in prices of transition stock.

This issue will especially impact the electronics and consumer goods industry, where in a number of cases, goods are imported as completely built units and resold in India without carrying out any further processes.

Tax experts said this appears to be an oversight.

“If the intention is to neutralise the impact of existing central taxes paid on transition stock of high-value items, then logically even imported goods should be covered,” said Pratik Jain, leader, indirect taxes, PwC. “The disparity would mean that consumer electronics, durables and cell phones which are imported would suffer more tax than ones manufactured domestically. The government should surely review this.”

Experts are also seeking clarity on how to determine the value of Rs 25,000 per piece — whether it should be maximum retail price, purchase price or any other value.

The transition rules were approved by the GST Council at a meeting on June 3.

The council has set up 18 groups to interact with sectors such as telecom, banking and exports and resolve issues in a time-bound manner for a smooth transition to the new indirect tax regime.

These sectoral working groups consist of senior officers from the Centre and states who examine representations received from trade and industry groups. These groups will highlight specific issues for the smooth transition of the respective sector to the GST regime and prepare sector-specific draft guidance.

Alibaba Cloud to open first data centre in India

Beijing, Alibaba Cloud, the cloud computing arm of Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba Group, on Saturday announced that it will open its first data centre, by early next year, in India, which has the world's second-largest internet using population.

The data centre will be set up in Mumbai by March 31, 2018, the group said, adding that another one will come up in Jakarta.

The entry of Alibaba in cloud computing in India will add to the fierce completion in the country which already has players like Amazon and Microsoft.

"I believe Alibaba Cloud, as the only global cloud services provider originating from Asia, is uniquely positioned with cultural and contextual advantages to provide innovative data intelligence and computing capabilities to customers in this region," Simon Hu, Senior Vice President of Alibaba Group and President of Alibaba Cloud, said at the 'Computing Conference' in Shanghai.

"Establishing data centres in India and Indonesia will further strengthen our position in the region and across the globe," Hu added.

Alibaba group Vice President Yu Sicheng, had talking to IANS earlier, said India is a potential market for cloud computing, which allows users to store and access data on the internet rather than the hard drive of a computer and server which are more prone to cyber-attacks.

Together with the recently announced data centre in Malaysia, the company will increase its computing resources in Asia, allowing greater support for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) throughout the region with powerful, scalable, cost-effective and secure cloud capabilities.

With the three new data centres planned, Alibaba Cloud will increase its total number of data centre locations to 17, covering mainland China, Australia, Germany, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates and the US.
