Digital now accounts for over 55 per cent of advertisement expenditure: I&B Secretary Jaju
HighlightsDigital media now accounts for over 55 percent of the national advertising expenditure in India, according to Information and Broadcasting Secretary Sanjay Jaju. India's digital advertising market is projected to exceed Rs 70,000 crore by 2026, driven by the increasing number of smartphone users and affordable data rates. Sanjay Jaju emphasized the importance of leveraging artificial intelligence and immersive technologies to enhance India's storytelling capabilities in the evolving media and entertainment landscape. Digital now dominates the media and entertainment sector accounting for over 55 per cent of the national advertising expenditure, Information and Broadcasting Secretary Sanjay Jaju said here on Friday. He said that over 55 crore smartphone users were a key factor in the shifting dynamics in consumption in the media and entertainment sector. "The digital segment is now definitely more than the non-digital segment," said Jaju addressing Storyboard18's Digital Entertainment Summit (DES) 2025. He said the industry must now enable the segment "to grow at a much brisker pace". While India has long been a creative powerhouse, Jaju stressed the digital medium has become central to its global aspirations. "Digital entertainment, being the core theme... has a huge share in the overall media and entertainment landscape," he said, noting the growing importance of streaming platforms , gaming companies, animation and post-production studios, and the creator economy. Jaju said the Indian media and entertainment industry has been undergoing rapid digitization, fueled by affordable data rates, deep smartphone penetration and growing internet access. According to various industry estimates, India's digital advertising market is poised to surpass Rs 70,000 crore by 2026. He said events such as the World Audio Visual and Entertainment Summit, organized by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, aim to position India as a global content and technology hub. Such events seek to unite stakeholders across tech, film, gaming, streaming and social media to co-create and export India's soft power to the world, he said. "Artificial intelligence (AI) and generative AI has been transforming every aspect of our life... from editing to dubbing to music production to animation. The media and entertainment landscape is also bound to get affected," Jaju said. He emphasized on the need to leverage immersive technologies to amplify India's storytelling capabilities. "We need to be also embracing large number of technological trends which are happening, these trends are going to shape the digital entertainment landscape as well," Jaju said. PTI

New BMW CE 04 Teased Ahead Of Launch; Check Details
BMW Motorrad is going to launch an updated version of the CE 04 in the global market. Before the event, the Bavarian giant released a teaser on the social media platform. Although the teaser doesn't reveal much, it does hint at a change of aesthetics for the model. Based on the announcement, this version of the two-wheeler will make its debut on July 5. It comes as part of the brand's strategy of launching multiple new products, which until now included various models based on the 1300 cc platform. The BMW CE 04 was initially launched in 2022 and is currently in its third model year in the international market. The teaser released by the automaker shows a side panel of the model featuring its badge. Looking at this part, it is hard to judge if the brand is going to change the design or just introduce a new paint scheme. In the teaser, the brand has hinted at a matter-blue colour with fluorescent accents. The BMW CE 04 currently features an 8.5 kWh battery, which provides a claimed range of 130 km. It is equipped with a liquid-cooled permanent magnet motor, a feature that is quite uncommon in India, producing a peak power output of 31 kW and 62 Nm of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheel through a belt final drive. The updated CE 04 is expected to launch in India shortly after its worldwide debut. It's important to note that, unlike the CE 02, which is produced locally in India by TVS, the CE 04 is imported as a Completely Built Unit (CBU), resulting in higher taxation. Therefore, it is priced at Rs 14.90 lakh (ex-showroom).

Redmi Pad 2 Review: Suits users who want a tablet for routine daily tasks
Redmi is back in the budget tablet arena with its latest offering — the Redmi Pad 2. Positioned as a sequel to the original Redmi Pad and Redmi Pad SE, this version aims to pack more power, features, and versatility, all while staying comfortably under the ₹20,000 bracket. I am testing the Wi-Fi + Cellular variant, priced at ₹17,999 in the Sky Blue colourway — a device that instantly catches the eye with its sleek design. But does the user experience match its premium look? Let's find out! Design The Redmi Pad 2 makes a solid first impression with its aluminium unibody chassis that doesn't scream budget at all. It feels refined in hand, thanks to its slim 7.52mm profile and a smooth matte finish. The back panel is mostly monochrome, with just a subtle shade variation on one side, adding a hint of visual flair without overdoing it. You'll find the Redmi branding neatly placed in the bottom-left corner, and a solitary rear camera in the top-left. The side frame placement is practical — volume rocker and SIM tray on the right, while the left stays clean. The top side features two speaker grilles, a power button, and Dolby Atmos branding, whereas the bottom houses another two speakers, a USB-C port, and even a 3.5mm headphone jack — a rare treat these days. Despite weighing 510g, the Pad 2 doesn't feel cumbersome, thanks to excellent weight distribution. The matte finish, while premium to the touch, is prone to fingerprints and smudges, so you'll want a case. Good news — the build feels sturdy enough for everyday rough-and-tumble use. (For top technology news of the day, subscribe to our tech newsletter Today's Cache) Display The Redmi Pad 2 features an 11-inch LCD panel with a 2.5K (2000 x 1200) resolution and a 90 Hz refresh rate. On paper, it seems impressive — and to some extent, it is. The visuals are crisp, colours are decent, and the 10-bit colour support helps make videos and games pop with slightly more depth. But here's where it falters: brightness. Rated at 600 nits (outdoor mode), it struggles in brighter environments, especially outdoors or near a window on a sunny day. Even at full brightness, the screen feels dim compared to what other brands are offering in similar price brackets. The Triple TÜV Rheinland certification is reassuring for eye protection, but that doesn't help much if you can't see the screen clearly in all conditions. Software & AI The Redmi Pad 2 runs on Android 15 with Xiaomi's HyperOS 2 on top, offering a largely clean and straightforward experience. The large screen layout is intuitive, and split-screen multitasking works fine. HyperOS 2 brings subtle refinements to multitasking and visual fluidity, enhancing usability without overcomplicating the interface. Redmi has done well to keep the bloatware minimal, and the overall experience remains responsive and smooth. As for AI features, this tablet becomes the first to offer 'Circle to Search' out of the box, which is a neat touch — albeit one that might not see frequent use by casual users. Gemini AI integration promises smart suggestions and productivity boosts, but again, these feel more like add-ons than essentials. They work, but they don't really elevate the overall experience in any meaningful way. Performance The latest Redmi Pad 2 is powered by the MediaTek Helio G100 Ultra processor, a capable mid-range chipset that's built for everyday performance. Redmi claims an 80% GPU boost over its predecessor, and it shows. Paired with 8 GB RAM and 256 GB storage, our review unit easily juggled web browsing, HD streaming, and app multitasking without noticeable lag. App launches are fast, UI transitions are fluid, and basic editing or note-taking is a breeze. The LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 2.2 storage ensure smooth read/write speeds. Heavy apps do take a second longer to open, but there's no stuttering in day-to-day use. The Geekbench scores — 729 (single-core), 1974 (multi-core) — reflect its upper-entry-level performance bracket. Gaming performance, while not top-tier, is still decent. Lighter titles like Subway Surfers and Clash Royale run without hiccups. Graphic-intensive games like Asphalt 9 are playable but with occasional frame drops. The GPU score of 1291 indicates it's fine for casual gaming but not your go-to device for demanding FPS titles. Camera Let's face it — tablets are rarely known for their camera prowess, and the Redmi Pad 2 follows that script closely. It sports an 8 MP rear shooter, which captures usable images in daylight but lacks detail and struggles with edge sharpness. There's a noticeable softness in the output, especially around high-contrast areas, giving photos a processed look. The shutter speed is a bit slow, which can lead to blurred results if you're not steady. Low-light conditions make things worse, with noise and colour bleeding evident in most shots. The rear camera does a decent job doubling as a document scanner or for casual photography when you have no other option. Up front, the 5 MP selfie camera performs fine for video calls — which, to be fair, is its main job. The quality is decent enough for Zoom or Google Meet, but don't expect detail-rich selfies. The shots come out soft and heavily smoothed, even in well-lit conditions. HDR support is available but inconsistent. Sometimes it helps bring out the dynamic range, but more often than not, the results are hit or miss. The teleprompter feature is a fun add-on for content creators, though it feels like a software band-aid rather than a hardware strength. Overall, the cameras are serviceable. They won't wow you, but they'll get the job done when needed — whether that's a quick scan, a video call, or a family picture in bright daylight. Battery If there's one department where the Redmi Pad 2 truly excels, it's battery life. The tablet packs a massive 9,000 mAh battery, which easily pushes through two full days of casual use. Whether you're watching videos, reading, or doing some light productivity work, battery anxiety is never on the cards. Redmi claims up to 19 hours of video playback and 22 hours of reading, and in real-world testing, it comfortably lives up to that promise. However, the 18 W fast charging feels more 'moderate' than 'fast' by 2025 standards. Topping up the battery from near empty to full takes nearly 3 hours, so overnight charging is still the best bet. Verdict At ₹17,999, the Redmi Pad 2 Wi-Fi + Cellular variant tries to check many boxes, but falls short in several key areas. Yes, it looks great. The aluminium build is commendable, the quad speakers are solid, and the battery life is reliable. But once you move past the surface, the shortcomings start showing. The display is sharp but underwhelming in brightness, performance is passable but unremarkable, and the cameras are below average. While it introduces some useful AI tricks and stylus support, these don't make up for the hardware compromises, especially when there are other tablets in the same segment offering better all-around value. The Redmi Pad 2 will suit users who just want a tablet for normal daily tasks like streaming, watching movies, or playing games. But for everyone else, this one might require more convincing — or a second look at the competition.
