MTS and Google team to promote mobile commerce in Russia

MTS and Google launch a new mobile commerce solution to accommodate consumer demand

MTS, a telecommunications company operating in Russia, has announced that it has formed a partnership with Google to promote mobile commerce. Demand for mobile commerce services has been on the rise among consumers in Russia, as they have begun to rely more heavily on their smartphones to shop for products online. Through the partnership, MTS and Google will launch a mobile application that will serve as a mobile payments solution.

New application may become very popular among those playing mobile games

With the new application, MTS customers will be able to make purchases online with their mobile devices using their MTS account instead of a bank account. Transactions will be authorized using a mobile number. Many consumers are expected to have access to discounts through Google Play, where the application will be made available. These discounts may benefit the millions of consumers that are interested in mobile games, as they will be able to purchase in-game items and full games on their mobile devices.

Russian consumers are becoming more mobile-centric

Mobile Commerce in RussiaRussian consumers see mobile commerce as more convenient than traditional forms of commerce. Due to growing smartphone penetration, consumers are becoming more mobile-centric, relying on their devices when conducting their daily lives. Banks have taken note of the rise in mobile consumers, and these organizations have begun looking for ways to engage mobile shoppers more effectively. The growing interest that consumers have in mobile commerce has also lead telecommunications companies, like MTS, to provide better services to consumers.

Mobile commerce is experiencing modest growth in Russia

Mobile commerce is growing quickly in Russia, but the country still lags behind others when it comes to supporting mobile shopping. In the coming years, mobile commerce is expected to play a larger role in Russia’s retail sector, especially as more consumers begin making use of smartphones and tablets. Google may accelerate the adoption of mobile commerce in Russia through its partnership with MTS, ensuring that consumers have access to the services that they are interested in.

Mogix portable battery charger scores huge applause in Craving Tech review

The external power bank has received yet another rave review as tech experts love its dual USB ports.

The Mogix portable battery charger is making tech news once again as it has received another fantastic review, this time from Craving Tech (cravingtech.com), which was taken by the dual USB ports that allow for 2.5A and 2.1A simultaneous device charging.

Craving Tech underscored the fact that many of us depend on multiple gadgets on any given day.

As a result, the review showed that running out of battery has become a problem that is faced from multiple directions instead of only one. It’s not just a matter of running out of juice in a smartphone anymore. Now people are watching the batteries drain in their smartphones (sometimes more than one of them), tablets and even wearables. Therefore, while many people have started carrying a portable battery charger to help to keep their tech gadgets up and running, the Mogix 10,400mAh power bank provides an added advantage by allowing two devices to charge at once.

With the Mogix portable battery charger, two phones or a smartphone and a tablet can charge at the same time.

Portable Battery Charger - ApplauseThe Craving Tech review also pointed out that the power output for recharging devices through the use of the Mogix power bank is comparable to that of a standard iPad charger, at 2.5A, with an additional 2.1A to charge a second device, as well. It was also careful to point out that the typical charger output is usually around 2.1A or even 1A, which means that the Mogix external battery charger is faster than most comparable devices when using its main USB port and it will at least match them when using its secondary port.

The Craving Tech reviewer, Michael Aulia, was able to charge his iPhone 6S and iPad Air at the same time. He was also able to recharge his Huawei Smart Band and his Huawei P8 Lite simultaneously.

Aulia pointed out that the portable battery charger has an automatic shut-off feature, which is handy in saving power when the device is not in use but when it has been accidentally left on. Moreover, it also has LED lights that were found to be useful in knowing just how much charge was actually left within the power bank. That said, with 10,400mAh available, “When I tested the portable charger to charge my devices, I realised that this charger could go on and on without emptying its juice out,” said Aulia.
