*Japan’s “Free” Bullet Trains – Charity or Cunning?*
_1. What happened?_
Japanese media reported that Japan is giving India two Shinkansen bullet trains – E5 and E3 series – completely free of cost
_2. Initial reaction:_
Many Indians were shocked yet ecstatic, believing this generous gift from Japan
_3. But the real story:_
- It’s not an act of pure goodwill but a strategic business move.
- Japan anticipates massive high‑speed rail corridors in India – such as the Delhi–Mumbai Industrial Corridor and the North–South/East–West corridors.
- By operating these “free” trains in India, Japan can:
1. Understand how the trains perform in India’s heat and humidity
2. Identify technical and material challenges
3. Gather data to optimize future sales of next‑generation trains like the E10 series (worth billions)
_4. E5 vs E3 – what are these models?_
• *E5 series*: High‑speed trains on the Tōhoku Shinkansen line, with top speeds around 320 km/h.
• *E3 series*: Designed for the Akita Mini‑Shinkansen, featuring gauge‑convertible bogies to run on mixed‑gauge tracks.
_5. The future payoff:_
Once the trial is successful, Japan will have real‑world performance data (climate resilience, maintenance needs, etc.) to support billion‑dollar contracts for advanced Shinkansen models.
*Conclusion:*
Japan’s “free” bullet trains are a cleverly disguised market‑entry strategy and a precursor to lucrative future deals – truly a masterstroke of business acumen.

Spoke to Samsung Support — they've extended GREEN LINE FREE SCREEN REPLACEMENT policy till 30th Sept 2025.
S22 Ultra/S21 are eligible, BUT they won’t reveal the full list of supported devices. Come on Samsung, transparency isn’t that hard
