🗳 Bihar Rolls Out India’s First Mobile-Based E-Voting System

In a landmark move, the Bihar State Election Commission has launched India’s first-ever mobile e-voting system, debuting in the Urban Local Body elections on 28th June 2025.

🔍 What’s New?
Bihar is pioneering a remote voting solution via Android smartphones — aimed at making the electoral process more inclusive, accessible, and technologically secure.

📱 How the System Works
Two dedicated apps will enable the e-voting process:
- “e-Voting SECBHR” – developed by C-DAC (Centre for Development of Advanced Computing)
- A second app built by the Bihar SEC

Steps for Voters:
1. Register through the app and provide consent
2. Complete identity verification with a live selfie matched against their voter ID photo using AI-powered facial recognition
3. Cast their vote remotely — no need to visit a polling station

👥 Who This Benefits
The system especially empowers:
- Migrant workers
- Elderly citizens
- Persons with disabilities
- Pregnant women
- Patients with serious illnesses

🔐 Security & Transparency Highlights
The technology is packed with advanced safeguards:
- Blockchain-backed infrastructure for secure data integrity
- Live liveness detection ensures real-time presence of the voter
- AI-driven facial match and verification
- Audit trail system, similar to VVPAT, for vote transparency

BSNL 5G will be called

Nothing Phone 3 :

✅ 5 years OS updates & 7 years security updates
✅ Snapdragon 8s Gen 4
❎ Only 5150mAh (rated)🔋
✅ Main + UW + Telephoto (most likely all 3 are 50MP)

The "True flagship" phone doesn't have flagship SoC

Connectivity :
8 Gen 3 - 10Gbps DS*, mmWave, BT 5.4

8s Gen 4 - 4.2Gbps DS*, No mmWave, BT 6 | (Both- WiFi 7)

So, 8 Gen 3 is clearly better !

🔴 GPU : Difference between 8 Gen 3 & 8s Gen 4 GPU is very minor !
Both are very close, no clear winner or loser between two.

🔴

ISP :
8s Gen 4 : Support 320MP
ZSL* at 108MP single & 36MP triple camera ; video 4K 60 fps
RTSS* for photos & videos up to 250 layers

8 Gen 3 : Support 200MP
ZSL* at 108MP single & 36MP triple camera; video 8K 30 fps
RTSS* for photos & videos up to 12 layers

So, 8s Gen 4 is better !

🔴 NPU :
Very less details available on Qualcomm website so can't tell.

But according to some publications 8 Gen 3 has better NPU than 8s Gen 4.

DS = Download Speed
ZSL = Zero Shutter Lag
RTSS = Real Time Semantic Segmentation

So you see, things are not Black & White, like :

GPU : no clear winner
Connectivity : 8 Gen 3 better
ISP : 8s Gen 4 better



8s Gen 4 is more power efficient than 8 Gen 3 , with all those necessary features from 8 Gen 3 !

But, CPU on 8 Gen 3 is still better !

Although,
Heating, camera performance & power consumption highly depends on brands tuning !

Also, Samsung SD 8 Gen 3 mobile support 7 years updates !!

Galaxy Apps update available for
- Secure Folder
- Galaxy Enhance-X
- Good Lock

Vodafone Idea’s partnership with AST SpaceMobile has potential.

Here’s why:

AST has already showcased 4G/5G calls from space. The phone didn’t need any hardware upgrade.

It all depends on how this partnership is executed. This can be a genius move from Vi. #vi #vodafoneidea
