OnePlus launches new AI Eraser image editing feature for its smartphones
Global technology brand OnePlus on Wednesday launched a new artificial intelligence (AI) Eraser image editing feature for its smartphones.
Karnataka minister MB Patil said on Wednesday that the state government and electronics manufacturing major Foxconn have signed the Letter of Intent (LOI) for two projects with an estimated investment outlay of Rs 5,000 crore.
An estimated 13,000 jobs are expected to be generated through investment intention. According to Karnataka’s Large and Medium Industries Minister MB Patil, the intended projects include a phone enclosure project for which FII (Foxcon Industrialist Internet), a Foxconn subsidiary, will invest Rs 3,000 crore and a semicon equipment project wherein Foxconn would invest Rs 2,000 crore in collaboration with Applied Materials.
The phone enclosure unit will engage in manufacturing subassembly components for smartphones, specifically mechanical enclosures of iPhones. The Foxconn subsidiary is currently evaluating suitable land parcels in and around Bengaluru.

It is to be noted that the company leadership team had met and held discussions with Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, Ministers MB Patil and Priyanka Kharge a few weeks ago in Bengaluru. The team was taken to Japan Industrial Township in Tumakuru where the available 100-acre land parcel was shown to them.
For the semicon equipment manufacturing project in collaboration with Applied Materials, the location is likely to be finalised at the Haraluru Muddenahalli – Hi-Tech Aerospace and Defence Park-Phase II in Bengaluru Rural district, where Foxconn has sought a 35-acre plot.
Foxconn Chairman Young Liu was in India last week to attend SemiconIndia 2023 in Gandhinagar, and subsequently visited Chennai on Monday.
