Samsung Galaxy S10 may come with ultrasonic fingerprint reader

Reportedly, the ultrasonic scanner was developed by Qualcomm years ago but has not been used by any company yet

Samsung Galaxy S10 may come with ultrasonic fingerprint reader

Samsung has always tried to deliver phones that are a piece of innovation. The company has never shied away from experimenting with the design and technology of the phones. The ill-fated Galaxy Note 7 may not be remembered for a happy reason today but it was the first Samsung phone to come with an iris scanner. 
The company is now working on a foldable phone and reports suggest it could launch only next week. In China, there are reports that the company is set to unveil its flip phone. A lot is going on at Samsung and amidst all these a new report related to Galaxy S10 has come up.
There have been a few leaks of the Samsung Galaxy S10 but yet there is very little that we know about the phone . There were recent rumours that Samsung was planning to debut in-display fingerprint sensor with the Galaxy S10 but now it seems that the company has decided to go a notch-up with this technology.
According to the leakster Ice Universe, Samsung Galaxy S10 may pack an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner which could use up to 30 per cent of the screen. It will replace the iris scanner that we've seen in previous Samsung phones. The technology is expected to be faster and more accurate than any other in-display scanner in the market.
Reportedly, the ultrasonic scanner was developed by Qualcomm years ago but has not been used by any company yet. Samsung Galaxy S10 could be the first phone to come with an ultrasonic fingerprint reader. Further, another report suggests that technology could be exclusive for the Samsung for at least the first six months of 2019.
The Galaxy S10 will be the 2019 flagship phone from Samsung. The phone could launch at MWC 2019. Apart from a triple camera system in the phone, it is also speculated that Samsung is working on a dedicated Neural Processing Unit for its Exynos 9820 which most probably will be powering the upcoming Galaxy S10. A dedicated NPU unit will allow faster advanced AI tasks along with faster voice-based actions.

PMO Rebuffs Parliament Committee on Fraud NPA Cases, Deploys Ministers to Meet Joshi

Citing banking secrecy clauses, Modi government tells key panel it won't share

 information on action taken against names mentioned in the list 

Raghuram Rajan submitted in February 2015.

PMO Rebuffs Parliament Committee on Fraud NPA Cases, Deploys Ministers to Meet Joshi


Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s office and finance minister Arun Jaitley have refused to provide any information on the “Rajan list” of “high profile fraud cases of non-performing assets” to the estimates committee of parliament headed by senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader and MP Murli Manohar Joshi.


Instead, senior ministers have been deployed to meet Joshi privately to discuss the committee’s work, a development that constitutional experts say crosses the line of propriety.

Parkash Badal Dares Amarinder Singh To Prosecute Him In Sacrilege Cases



As the RBI revealed in response to an RTI query from The Wire, former governor Raghuram Rajan wrote to both the PMO and Jaitley’s office on February 4, 2015 with a list of fraud cases that needed coordinated investigation.

Parliament has statutory oversight over the executive and the government’s refusal to provide the high-powered committee with details of action taken on the “high profile fraud cases of NPAs” suggests Modi either took no action at all or has little to show despite the passage of over three years since the receipt of the list.

"No Challenge" To BJP, Confident Of Victory: PM Modi At Key Party Meet



Angry at the snub to parliament, Joshi now plans to ask Rajan to provide the estimates committee with the list he gave since the former RBI governor is not bound by the kind of confidentiality or banking clauses the Modi government has cited as the reason for refusing to cooperate.

In a shocking and unprecedented development, two senior members of Modi’s cabinet – minister for railways Piyush Goyal and health minister J.P. Nadda – called on Joshi at his residence around Dussehra and tried to discuss two reports of the estimates committee with him. One of those is the NPA report and the other the controversial one on GDP growth.


The manner in which the two ministers called on the head of a parliamentary committee is being seen by committee members as a “gross impropriety”. “Imagine what the consequences would have been if ministers during Manmohan Singh’s tenure had tried to privately meet Joshi, who chaired the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) on the 2G scam at the time,” said an MP.

Despite, several attempts, Joshi refused to respond to questions. Goyal and Nadda also did not comment.

Joshi has sent three reminders to the PMO asking for the list and action taken report. However, the PMO has taken recourse to citing a “banking rule” to justify not sharing the Rajan list with parliament.


Authoritative sources told The Wire that Joshi has written to Modi to say the PMO could easily share the Rajan list with him – if not the entire estimates committee – after making him take the oath of official secrecy. The Modi government has not yet sent Joshi a reply on this proposal either. Sources say that Rajan can even appear before the committee in person and apprise them of the name of the high profile defaulters.


The “Rajan list” has become a huge hot button embarrassment for the Modi government and sources say that the list and Rajan’s insistence on ensuring that the NPAs were reflected in the public sector banks books were the twin reasons he was not given an extension by the Modi government.

From demonetisation, which wrecked the functional autonomy of the RBI, to the current impasse with RBI governor Urjit Patel which has brought him to the verge of resigning the Modi government appears unrelenting in its efforts to undermine the central bank’s independence.

Rajasthan Assembly election Opinion poll predicts rout for BJP, majority for Congress under Sachin Pilot


The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) under the leadership of Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje is unlikely to retain power in the state in upcoming assembly elections. According to the latest opinion poll, the Congress appears to be making a comeback in the state.
The opinion conducted by India TV-CNX predicted that the Congress is likely to get 115 seats in the 200 members House whereas the BJP is likely to bag 75 seats. The BSP of Mayawati is likely to get 2 seats.
In terms of vote share, the pre-poll survey predicted that the Congress under the leadership of party’s state unit president Sachin Pilot is likely to get 43.5% votes. The BJP is likely to 40.37% votes whereas BSP may get 2.58% vote. ‘Others’ are likely to get 13.55%.
In the previous Assembly polls held in 2013, the BJP had won a massive majority with 163 seats (45.17% vote share) and Congress winning just 21 seats (33.07% vote share). The BSP had won 3 seats.
When participants were asked whom they want to see as next Chief Minister, a whopping 32% respondents said that they want Congress’ state unit president Sachin Pilot as the next CM. Only 25.25% people said that they once again want to see Raje sitting at the helm of the state affairs. Nearly 30% of the respondents said that they want Ashok Gehlot to become the CM in case the Congress wins.
To a question about CM Raje’s performance, 48% said ‘poor’ whereas 35% said they are satisfied with her work. Only 12% said her performance in the last five years was ‘average’. Rest 5% said that ‘can’t say’.
When asked what issues will dominate the elections this time, 35% respondents mentioned unemployment as the biggest issue. 27% of the participants said that development in the state will also be the key factor during the elections.
To a question about the Raje government’s handling of Padmavat controversy and Anand Pal Singh’s encounter, respondents gave thumbs down to the ruling BJP. 65% people said that they are dissatisfied with the government’s handling of the Padmavat controversy. Nearly 55% of them said the Pal’s encounter has hurt the image of Raje. Only 1% said that the Rafale deal issue will dominate the upcoming state elections.
The state will go to polls in a single phase on December 7. Results will be declared on December 11. Out of 200 seats, 34 are reserved for Scheduled Caste and 25 for Scheduled Tribe. The tenure of the current Assembly expires on January 20, 2019.

Will change GST structure if we come to power: Rahul Gandhi

Congress president Rahul Gandhi has said that his party will overhaul the Goods and Services Tax (GST) structure if it comes to power in 2019, and once again described GST as it currently exists as “Gabbar Singh Tax”.



Congress president Rahul Gandhi has said that his party will overhaul the Goods and Services Tax (GST) structure if it comes to power in 2019, and once again described GST as it currently exists as “Gabbar Singh Tax”.
Speaking at a gathering of business leaders and professionals in Indore Tuesday, Gandhi alleged that GST, championed by his party-led UPA when it was in power between 2004 and 2014, was introduced by the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government in a haphazard manner.
“If the Congress party forms the government in Delhi (Centre), the Gabbar Singh Tax would be changed to GST. Our aim is to provide a single tax with the lowest possible rate. Essential goods for common people would be removed from GST,” Gandhi said at the event in poll-bound Madhya Pradesh. ‘Gabbar Singh’ is a reference to a popular Bollywood villain from a hit Hindi film Sholay (1975).
“When Gabbar Singh Tax was implemented, traders and people who run small businesses admitted to me that the BJP called them ‘corrupt’ and ‘thief’, and that is what hurt them the most,” Gandhi added.
His party has long maintained that it supported GST but not in the form it was implemented by the NDA government. The Congress president said the BJP was a “party of loudspeakers” while the Congress was a party of “listeners”.
Gandhi also spoke about the ongoing controversy in the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and repeated his charge that the BJP was attacking autonomous bodies. “The case of four Supreme Court judges, the case of the CBI director, pressure on ECI are all examples of autonomous institutions being attacked,” the Congress president said.
“There is certainly further scope of changes in the gst mechanism which has been dynamic since it’s inception. Under the present government, several changes have already been made to accommodate the concerns of different sectors , particularly the small industries ans traders. In any tax system, further changes can always come,” said Tamal Sarkar, executive director. MSME Foundation.

Balancing act by Congress in first list of 155 names for Madhya Pradesh elections

Congress has fielded former chief minister Digvijay Singh’s son Jaivardhan Singh and brother Lashman Singh from Raghogarh and Chachoura seats for the Madhya Pradesh polls to be held on November 28.

Balancing act by Congress in first list of 155 names for Madhya Pradesh elections


The Congress declared its first list of 155 candidates for the Madhya Pradesh assembly elections on Saturday, naming about 55 fresh faces that included 15 women candidates.
The Congress’s first list for the state that goes to polls on November 28 was seen by experts as a balancing act by party chief Rahul Gandhi to take all sections on board. Jai Adivasi Yuva Shakti (JAYS) founder Hiralal Alawa, former Union minister Suresh Pachauri and two relatives of the state’s former chief minister, Digvijaya Singh, were announced as candidates in the first list.
The JAYS is a tribal outfit that could influence the outcome in 60 of the 230 seats across the state. Madhya Pradesh has 47 reserved seats for Scheduled Tribes. Alawa, a doctor from Delhi’s All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), launched the socio-political outfit in 2012 as a result of dissatisfaction among the tribals with the state government.
Three former legislators of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) – Sanjay Sharma, Padma Shukla and Abhay Mishra – have also been given tickets. The party repeated 45 sitting MLAs and dropped three.
Coming a day after the BJP declared its first list of 177 candidates, the Congress’s list included at least two dozen candidates aged below 40. The first-timers in the list included Alawa from Manawar, National Students’ Union of India state president Vipin Wankhede from Agar and Youth Congress president Kunal Choudhary from Kalapipal.
The BJP has been in power in Madhya Pradesh since 2003 and Shivraj Singh Chouhan has been the chief minister from November 2005.
Sharma, who joined the Congress in the presence of Gandhi recently, has been fielded from Tendukheda, where he was previously a BJP MLA. From Chachoda, the Congress ticket was given to Laxman Singh, who is Digvijaya Singh’s brother. The veteran Congress leader’s son, Jaivardhan Singh, has also been made a candidate.
The three sitting MLAs who have been denied tickets are Shakuntala Khatik from Shivpuri, Manoj Kumar Agrawal from Kotma and Govardhan Upadhyay from Sironje. The Congress tickets have not been declared in many areas in the Gwalior-Chambal region, which is considered to be a stronghold of Jyotiraditya Scindia, and also in the Mahakaushal area, which is considered to be a stronghold of Madhya Pradesh Congress president Kamal Nath.
Out of power for 15 years in the country’s fifth-largest state, the state Congress campaign for this year’s elections has been spearheaded by Scindia and Nath.
The party also gave a ticket to Sachin Yadav, a relative of former Madhya Pradesh Congress Committee chief Arun Yadav.
Madhya Pradesh Congress media cell in-charge Shobha Oza said there were 22 women in the first list, of whom 15 were new faces.
Reacting to the first list of the Congress, BJP spokesperson Rajneesh Agrawal said there was no need for the Congress to be excited. He said the list showed that there was still discontent in the party.
Political commentator LS Hardeniya said the first list of the Congress appeared to be good and included candidates who had the capacity to win. He, however, said that the party had a goof first list in 2008 but could not capitalise on it.
Voting for the 230-member Madhya Pradesh assembly takes place on November 28, and November 9 is the last day to file nominations. The results will be announced on December 11.
At least 50 million people are eligible to vote across 65,341 polling stations in the state which has 35 seats reserved for the Scheduled Castes and 47 for the Scheduled Tribes.
