Microsoft releases firmware update to make select Windows Phone handsets 4G capable in India

As 4G LTE network starts to gain traction in India, Microsoft is looking to make the most out of it. The company announces today that it is pushing out a firmware update to select existing Windows Phone handsets in the country to enable 4G connectivity option in them.

Microsoft launches Windows 10 Technical Preview for Phones

The handsets that are eligible to get the update are as follows: the Lumia 1520, the Lumia 1320, the Lumia 1020, the Lumia 930, the Lumia 925, the Lumia 920, the Lumia 830, and the Lumia 625. A Microsoft spokesperson tells me that these handsets always had the 4G radio in them, but back at the time of their launch -- due to the unavailability of LTE networks -- the company had disabled this connectivity option.

"Now that 4G LTE network is available in various markets in India, we are giving consumers the option to enjoy it", notes the spokesperson. "This is a welcome move as those consumers won't have to purchase a new handset".

There's one issue; however, the said handsets will only support the FDD-LTE (1,800 MHz) network in the country, and will miss out on TDD-LTE (2,300 MHz) due to hardware limitation. The company assures that its future devices will be able to tap both types of LTE networks out of the box.

Nothing has also developed Nothing EAR (TWS), a Landon-based firm that has sold over 1 million units worldwide as of the end of 2022. Here is our whole Nothing Phone 2 review. Carl Pei, CEO of Nothing Nothing Technology Limited (stylized as NOTHING), has introduced Nothing Phone 2, and people are discussing his marketing techniques rather than his products. They implement a twofold embargo for artists; it appears that they are encouraging influencers to engage in dark marketing. Mr. Rakesh, alias Gyan Therapy, made a video opposing the embargo while everyone else was busy fluffing it.  So, following the contentious embargo, I've discovered two major reasons to avoid Nothing Phone 2: 1. Expensive Pricing: The Nothing Phone 2 costs roughly 45,000 INR, which is 5,000 INR higher than the Oneplus ...
