This week on Tech Today, we take a closer look at one of the most dramatic chapters in India's digital policy landscape. Imagine waking up in the morning and finding a government app preinstalled on your smartphone and not being allowed to remove it. India has moved closer to that reality with the proposed mandatory rollout of the Sanchar Saathi app. We investigate what happened, why it matters, and what it means for millions of users.
We take a closer look at the Sanchar Saathi controversy, its characteristics, the government's rationale, and the wave of public backlash that forced its retraction. We also discuss upcoming SIM binding rules and growing concerns about privacy, abuse, and digital overuse. The central question remains. Are these tools about safety or control?
This episode also features exclusive insights from Lenovo's Head of Global AI about the future of artificial intelligence, where the industry is headed, and how devices will be shaped in the coming years. And in our review segment, we take a closer look at the Vivo X300 and X300 Pro and answer some simple questions. Are these phones pretending to be cameras, or are cameras pretending to be phones?
