The Southeast Asian smartphone market is recovering from the challenging macroeconomic conditions of 2023, and it is expected to grow 4% in 2024. The Southeast Asian smartphone market experienced a 12% year-on-year growth in Q1 2024, reaching 23.5 million units. Shipments: Smartphone manufacturers shipped 23.5 million units, but they are still below pre-2023 levels. One of the main driving forces of the Q1 success is Ramadan in some markets like Indonesia and Malaysia, while other companies like Transsion benefited from markets like Philippines and Indonesia where the sub-$100 segments saw a revival. Samsung is still in the lead with 19% market share, despite its shipment volume tanking 20% year-on-year. Transsion gains a lot of momentum starting this year. It went from 7 (1.4M) to 18 (4.2M) percent in just a year. Xiaomi is up 4%, which isn't bad. Apple has a low presence in SouthEast Asia, let alone Asia at all. #Apple #ios #Android #smartphone

Gemini for Android is getting upgraded with new contextual capabilities! - A new “ask this video” chip will appear if you invoke Gemini while a YouTube video is open. Gemini will then use the YouTube video as context. - A new “ask this PDF” chip will appear when you’re viewing a PDF file in supported apps. Tapping this will let you ask questions about/summarize the document. This requires Gemini Advanced, though, because of its longer context window. - You’ll be able to drag and drop generated images directly into Gmail, Messages, and other supported apps. - Finally, devices with the next-gen multimodal Gemini Nano will surface dynamic suggestions. The way this works is that a screenshot of the screen is fed to Gemini Nano, which can then generate chips of potential things you might want to ask about. Source: Mishaal Rahman
