Roposo-Facebook-pageNew Delhi: Summer is here and with the season comes the race to look fashionable. From cold shoulder, Vintage redux to the bodysuit, experts suggest some must-have pieces that can make you look “cool” in the hot weather.

Sidhika Gupta, fashion head of social fashion platform Roposo, lists trends that can make your summer wardrobe look sophisticated and stylish.

* Cold shoulder: Cold shoulder or off-shoulder are the summer must-haves. Bare those shoulders and flaunt your collar-bone in this pretty silhouette. The off-shoulder tops look best in nude solids and pair well with distressed denims. A great separate to invest in as you can create urban chic to casual to date looks while teaming it up with various bottoms.

* Vintage Redux: Ruffles, pleats, high-collar necklines, crochet, lace and all things feminine, it can’t get prettier than this. My girlies, pair stainless white fit-n-flare lace dress with peals and club masters and make those jaws drop.

* The Bodysuit: Go, and buy it right now. A bodysuit is the weapon of 21st century independent woman. It’s clean, contouring, comforting and the sexiest way to flaunt your curves. Avoid shabby crease lines around the waist as much as you do.

* Orange is the new black: Orange, primarily solid, will be your next go-to hue of the season.

* The slip dress: The siren pieces that are normally related to the bedroom are getting their day in the sun. This 1990s trend not just made its way back to the runway but is also seen under popular brands like Givenchy and Calvin Klein. The rule is simple, wear you lingerie as an outwear.

* Dyed effect: When we are talking summers, then how can we forget the beaches? The Japanese technique of Shibori, popularly known as tie-and-dye add the bohemian vibe to your soul. Summer destination wedding, jet-ski or just basking in the sun, don’t forget to pack your maxis and sarongs in this naturally dyed lightweight fabric.

International online casino Casino Days has published a report sharing their internal data on what types and brands of devices are used to play on the platform by users from the South Asian region.

Such aggregate data analyses allow the operator to optimise their website for the brands and models of devices people are actually using.

The insights gained through the research also help Casino Days tailor their services based on the better understanding of their clients and their needs.

Desktops and Tablets Lose the Battle vs Mobile

The primary data samples analysed by Casino Days reveal that mobile connections dominate the market in South Asia and are responsible for a whopping 96.6% of gaming sessions, while computers and tablets have negligible shares of 2.9% and 0.5% respectively.

The authors of the study point out that historically, playing online casino was exclusively done on computers, and attribute thе major shift to mobile that has unfolded over time to the wide spread of cheaper smartphones and mobile data plans in South Asia.

“Some of the reasons behind this massive difference in device type are affordability, technical advantages, as well as cheaper and more obtainable internet plans for mobiles than those for computers,” the researchers comment.

Xiaomi and Vivo Outperform Samsung, Apple Way Down in Rankings

Chinese brands Xiaomi and Vivo were used by 21.9% and 20.79% of Casino Days players from South Asia respectively, and together with the positioned in third place with a 18.1% share South Korean brand Samsung dominate the market among real money gamers in the region.

Cupertino, California-based Apple is way down in seventh with a user share of just 2.29%, overshadowed by Chinese brands Realme (11.43%), OPPO (11.23%), and OnePlus (4.07%).

Huawei is at the very bottom of the chart with a tiny share just below the single percent mark, trailing behind mobile devices by Motorola, Google, and Infinix.

The data on actual phone usage provided by Casino Days, even though limited to the gaming parts of the population of South Asia, paints a different picture from global statistics on smartphone shipments by vendors.

Apple and Samsung have been sharing the worldwide lead for over a decade, while current regional leader Xiaomi secured their third position globally just a couple of years ago.

Striking Android Dominance among South Asian Real Money Gaming Communities

The shifted market share patterns of the world’s top smartphone brands in South Asia observed by the Casino Days research paper reveal a striking dominance of Android devices at the expense of iOS-powered phones.

On the global level, Android enjoys a comfortable lead with a sizable 68.79% share which grows to nearly 79% when we look at the whole continent of Asia. The data on South Asian real money gaming communities suggests that Android’s dominance grows even higher and is north of the 90% mark.

Among the major factors behind these figures, the authors of the study point to the relative affordability of and greater availability of Android devices in the region, especially when manufactured locally in countries like India and Vietnam.

“And, with influencers and tech reviews putting emphasis on Android devices, the choice of mobile phone brand and OS becomes easy; Android has a much wider range of products and caters to the Asian online casino market in ways that Apple can’t due to technical limitations,” the researchers add.

The far better integration achieved by Google Pay compared to its counterpart Apple Pay has also played a crucial role in shaping the existing smartphone market trends.
