Sanchar Saathi controversy, Lenovo AI exclusive with Scott Tease, Vivo X300 Pro review | Tech Today

This week on Tech Today, we break down one of the most dramatic chapters in India’s digital policy landscape. Imagine waking up to find a government app pre-installed on your smartphone, one that you are not allowed to delete. India came close to that reality with the proposed mandatory rollout of the Sanchar Saathi app. We examine what happened, why it matters, and what it means for millions of users.

We have a closer look at the Sanchar Saathi controversy, its features, the government’s reasoning, and the wave of public backlash that forced a rollback. We also explain the upcoming SIM Binding rule and the growing concerns around privacy, misuse, and digital overreach. The central question remains: are these tools about safety, or are they about control?

The episode also features exclusive insights from Lenovo’s global AI head on the future of artificial intelligence, where the industry is heading, and how it’ll shape devices in the years to come. And in our review segment, we take a detailed look at the Vivo X300 and X300 Pro to answer a simple question: are these phones pretending to be cameras, or cameras pretending to be phones?

If you are interested in tech policies, AI breakthroughs, smartphone innovation, and the bigger conversation around digital rights in India, this is an episode you cannot miss. Share your thoughts in the comments or write to us with questions and suggestions.
