In its 5G networks, Canada has prohibited Huawei and ZTE equipment. The Canadian government made this judgement based on national security considerations. It went on to say that the suppliers might be forced to follow “extrajudicial orders from foreign governments” in ways that “conflict with Canadian laws or are damaging to Canadian interests.”

By June 28th, 2024, all telecom operators in the country must have removed all Huawei and ZTE-branded 5G equipment from their networks. The government has also set a deadline for the 4G equipment to be removed by the end of 2027.

“The Government is dedicated to maximising the social and economic benefits of 5G and universal access to telecoms services,” the Canadian government said in a statement.

It’s worth noting that US telcos are spending billions of dollars removing and replacing network equipment. Huawei’s equipment is likewise prohibited in the United Kingdom. On national security reasons, Australia and New Zealand have similarly limited the use of their technology.

China’s National Intelligence Law is the reason for this prohibition. All of these countries believe that Chinese tech giants like Huawei and ZTE will give the Chinese government vital information from international networks.

Huawei, on the other hand, rejected this report, claiming that:

“China will conduct a thorough and thorough investigation into this event and take all necessary steps to protect Chinese enterprises’ lawful rights and interests.”

It took Canada three years to make a decision on whether or not to utilise Huawei and ZTE equipment in its telecom networks.

Zong and Huawei have joined hands with Akhuwat – an interest-free microfinance organization with poverty alleviating interventions in microfinance, education, and more – to help promote digital education in Pakistan and introduce the less privileged students to the modern ways of learning.

Under the partnership, Zong in collaboration with Huawei will be donating 200 tablets to Akhuwat. Akhuwat provides education services to make digital education for the less privileged students accessible across Pakistan, including the far-flung areas of Sindh. Through high-tech studio facilities, interactive content, highly qualified teachers, a team of academic and IT professionals, and the tablets donated, Akhuwat will be leading the mission of digitally imparting quality learning.

“As an organization that places a huge emphasis on the well-being of the underprivileged strata of the society, Zong 4G has always stepped forward to integrate them in the modern and digital society of today,” Zong 4G’s spokesperson said.

“With digitization being on top of our agenda, we’re pleased to have partnered with Akhuwat Foundation and are glad to have a chance to help Pakistan’s underprivileged youth get introduced to advanced ways of learning,” she added.

Deputy CEO Huawei Pakistan, Wuhan reiterated the sentiment, stating, “At the heart of the Huawei ethos is our belief in openness and knowledge-sharing. We are committed to supporting the development of an ICT talent ecosystem in Pakistan and very happy to aid Akhuwat Foundation, in collaboration with Zong 4G, in this endeavor.”

However, the digital patterns that have emerged as a result of the epidemic call for a rethinking of the ICT talent pipeline. Universities in Pakistan, like universities around the world, must adapt their teaching and operational methods to meet the demands of an increasingly digital environment.

What are the best ways for our colleges to meet this challenge? The first step is to acknowledge that traditional classroom education is insufficient to provide pupils with the well-rounded skillsets that modern businesses want. To supplement the theoretical classroom teaching, students require hands-on expertise and extensive practical exposure. To do this, colleges must collaborate with the larger ICT ecosystem in order to take advantage of the technical advantages that only IT businesses can provide.

The University of Engineering and Technology (UET), Taxila, was one of the first universities in Pakistan to recognize the value of partnerships to benefit our students and the greater economy. One of the institution’s most successful partnerships is with Huawei, which is working with the university to upgrade its computer training curriculum as well as create a future campus.

Huawei ICT Academy, a school-enterprise collaboration project established to assist forge a deeper talent ecosystem, is housed at UET Taxila. Huawei assists universities in cultivating ICT talent that meets industry requirements, offering high-quality talent for industry development, by strengthening the cooperation mechanism between universities and enterprises. Huawei ICT Training Courses are now part of UET Taxila’s Computer and Telecom Curriculum.

A programme for advanced education should be delivered in a similar environment. That is why UET Taxila has made the creation of a smart campus a top priority. The university’s leadership entrusted Huawei with the implementation of a large-scale Smart and Safe Campus Project based on Huawei ICT infrastructure. As a result, the Huawei Smart Classrooms at UET Taxila and partner institution Fatima Jinnah Women University have enabled live video conferencing as well as online lecture broadcasting and recording.

We are eager to help Pakistan’s objective of establishing a knowledge-based economy now that this digital foundation has been established. The establishment of a cutting-edge ICT infrastructure is critical to this effort. The government has already put in place the policy framework for 5G deployment, with the goal of having it operational by April 2023. Countries in our region that have already implemented 5G have seen tremendous gains. Since rolling out 5G, carriers in Kuwait, one of the Middle East countries with the earliest and fastest 5G development, have seen a 4 percent increase in revenue and a 13 percent increase in profitability.

Beyond connectivity, 5G would help Pakistan achieve its Vision 2025 by supporting the growth of vertical sectors. Currently, 5G use cases have been deployed with positive results in industries such as Digital Oil & Gas and Smart Port, and we anticipate to see 5G enable additional industries in the future.

However, deploying 5G successfully necessitates a set of abilities. Again, industry collaborations with technology suppliers will be critical in providing 5G training to our kids. Huawei is expanding 5G training in conjunction with colleges where the technology is available, providing 5G training credentials, and collaborating on creative 5G real-world initiatives. Additionally, Huawei’s annual skills development initiatives, such as Seeds for the Future, now provide students with important opportunity to immerse themselves in cutting-edge ICT technologies like 5G and get practical experience. As a result, UET Taxila plans to collaborate with Huawei on 5G test deployment and research as the technology matures.

Rapid deployment of modern technologies, on the other hand, is fraught with dangers. Because of the increased threat landscape brought on by fast digital transformation, the world faces serious cybersecurity risks. This is not unique to Pakistan. In order to combat cybercrime, collaboration is essential. A safer network is a shared responsibility, and we applaud global technology companies like Huawei for partnering with educational institutions to train students in cybersecurity mitigation efforts.

The Pakistani administration supports their aim of working together across borders for mutual benefit. Dr Arif Alvi,  praised Huawei Academy’s collaboration with more than 80 universities in Pakistan to develop new talent in a recent speech. He praised global firms’ efforts to develop an environment for tapping talent, citing the high number of students undertaking ICT training.

Google reportedly ends business with Huawei that requires the transfer of hardware, software and technical services. Alphabet Inc’s Google blocks Huawei access to android updates after the U.S. government has sought to blacklist around the world. This act (Trump blacklist) is a huge blow to Chinese technology company Huawei, whose goal is to be the top smartphone company by the end of 2020.

People who currently holds Huawei smartphones with Google apps, however, will continue to be able to use and download app updates provided by Google, a Google spokesperson confirmed to the media.

“We are complying with the order and reviewing the implications,”

the Google spokesperson said.

Huawei will only be able to use the public version of Android and will not be able to access apps and services from Google.

“Google Play and the security protections from Google Play Protect will continue to function on existing Huawei devices,”

This suspension threatens Huawei’s supply chain business and could detain the rollout of 5G services around the world. But the biggest trouble for Huawei is what the decision means for future smartphone sales.

It is to be noted that most of Google’s popular products like Gmail, YouTube and Google Maps are fully banned in China, where smartphones company Huawei offers domestic alternatives like Tencent’s (TCEHY) WeChat and Baidu (BIDU) Maps.

Huawei has previously said it is developing its own backup operating system under the name “Hongmeng”, in case it was blocked from Google services.

Huawei has been building an alternative operating system just in case it is needed.

said Huawei spokesperson Glenn Schloss.

Top 5 Best Selfie Phones in Pakistan under Rs 25000

Nowadays social media is a power and going social, making selfies are everything. They have extended beyond the youth to reach global appeal among people of all ages and professions. Unfortunately, In Pakistan finding a good smartphone with capable enough front cameras and features for the best selfie photos possible in an affordable price range has not always been so easy.

However, with Chinese mobile brands quickly taking the market by storm, it has now become much easier to balance quality with affordability. Here are our top 5 picks for the best selfie smartphones under 25k in Pakistan.

1. Vivo V7

Released in December 2017, Vivo V7 is our top pick in Best Selfie Phones list and for a good reason too. With a 16 MP main camera and a mind-blowingly powerful 24 MP front camera with geo-tagging, touch-focus and face detection it is more than capable of taking amazing selfies and great pictures too.

It has video recording capabilities of 1080p resolution at 30 fps allowing for smooth, high quality videos. That’s not all there is to this phone either. It runs Android 7.1.2 Nougat on Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 chipset and a 1.8 GHz Octa-core processor. Pair that with its 4 GB RAM and this phone is capable enough to handle almost anything you could throw its way smoothly without any lags.

It has 32 GB internal memory along with the option of inserting a microSD card of up to 256 GB. It has a 5.7 inch display so you never feel pressed for screen space either. The V7 boasts a robust, non-removable 3000 mAh battery with an endurance of 77h so the battery won’t be an issue for you either no matter how heavy an app you’re running at any given time.

The phone comes in three beautiful colours (Champagne Gold, Matte Black and Energetic Blue) in a plastic body that looks very much metallic instead along with bezels minimized to such an extent that phone looks nearly bezel-less giving it a very sleek, high quality look. The phone comes with both a fingerprint sensor and a face-unlock feature so you can choose either.

Currently the Vivo V7’s lowest price in the market is Rs. 22,999 from iShopping.pk.

2. TECNO Camon X

From the Best Selfie Phones the TECNO Camon X is another great option with a low price tag. Released in April 2018. It has a 16 MP back camera with stunning 20 MP front camera, both with dual LED flash. Armed with the latest Android Oreo, 2.0 GHz Octa core processor, and 3GB RAM, such a phone would be hard to pass up at such a low price. It has a larger 6.0-inch screen than the Vivo V7 but a resolution of only 720p.

The Camon X offers 32 GB internal storage with a microSD card slot supporting up to 128 GB. It also has a much better battery than the Vivo V7 with 3750 mAh and quick charge technology. The TECNO Camon X has greatly reduced bezels giving it a nearly seamless look and comes in three colours (Champagne Gold, Midnight Black, and City Blue). The phone has a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor and comes equipped in its box with a protective case for everyday use.

The TECNO Camon X’s current lowest price in Pakistan is Rs. 20,999 from all sellers.

3. Infinix Hot S3

Released in February 2018, Infinix Hot S3 is another great, affordable alternative. It has a 13 MP back camera and a 20 MP front camera with dual LED flash for both cameras. Equipped with geo-tagging, phase detection, panorama, auto-focus, and HDR the Infinix Hot S3 is a truly capable camera phone with emphasis on selfies. It is equipped with the latest Android Oreo, a 1.4 GHz Octa core processor, Snapdragon 435 chipset and 3 GB RAM. It offers 32 GB internal storage along with a microSD card slot capable of facilitating up to 128 GB.

The screen size is slightly smaller than the Vivo V7 with 5.65 inches and a resolution of 720p. It surpasses the Vivo V7 when it comes to battery life though with its 4000 mAh battery which can easily provide you with at least two full days of usage. The Hot S3 also offers a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor. It comes in two colours (Sandstone Black, Brush Gold) and has reduced bezels for a sleek, clean look.

The Infinix Hot S3’s current price in Pakistan is Rs. 19,999 from all sellers.

4. Huawei Honor 9 Lite

Released in December 2017, the Huawei Honor 9 Lite may have a slightly less powerful camera but has its own unique features that set it apart from others on best selfie phones list. The Honor 9 Lite has dual 13 MP and 2 MP lenses for both the front and back cameras and LED flash allowing you to take wider pictures and selfies.

Equipped with the latest Android Oreo, 2.36 GHz Octa core processor and 3 GB RAM, you can stay up to date with the latest apps without any lags.

The A57 offers a 13-MP back camera with LED flash and a 16-MP front camera with 1080p resolution. The main reason why we’ve chosen to rank from the Honor 9 Lite above in the Best Selfie Phones list it is due to the fact that the 9 Lite offers a powerful dual front camera whereas the A57 offers a traditional single front camera.

The A57 has a 5.2 inch display with 720p resolution with the infamous, robust Corning Gorilla Glass 4 protection making that its biggest selling point apart from its camera capabilities. It records videos up to 1080p resolution at 30 fps.

It comes equipped with an Android Marshmallow OS, Snapdragon 435, 1.4 GHz Octa-core processor and 3 GB RAM with a 2900 mAh battery which is slightly lower than the 9 Lite’s. The A57 comes in three colours (Black, Gold, and Rose Gold) with an aluminum body and a front-mounted fingerprint sensor.

The Oppo A57’s current lowest price in Pakistan is Rs. 21,550 from vmart.pk.
