Xiaomi is all set to launch the Redmi 9i in India on September 15. As we reported recently, the Redmi 9i could be a slightly beefed-up variant of the Redmi 9A that was launched in India earlier this month for Rs 6,799. With the Redmi 9i, Xiaomi wants to offer 4GB of RAM to the budget users. The smartphone’s name is listed as ‘Redmi 9i 4GB’ hinting that it will come with 4GB RAM as a minimum. Now, ahead of the launch, price of the Redmi 9i has been leaked. The Redmi 9A comes in two variants at Rs 6,799 and Rs 7,499. So a new report says the Redmi 9i will be launched at Rs 7,999, and at that price, it will be the most affordable phone with 4GB of RAM.

Xiaomi Redmi 9i to Cost Rs 7,999 in India

A 91mobiles report states the Redmi 9i will just be the 4GB RAM variant of the Redmi 9A. The inform, which the publication received from was tipster Ishan Agarwal. According to the tipster, the Redmi 9i will launch in two variants- 4GB+64GB and 4GB+128GB, and the prices will start at Rs 7,999. Xiaomi already has the Redmi 9 with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage at Rs 8,999 in India, so it is not surprising to see the Redmi 9i offering the same configuration at Rs 1,000 lower.

Furthermore, the report also says the phone will be offered in the same colour options as Redmi 9A and they are Midnight Black, Sea Blue, and Nature Green.

Specifications of the Redmi 9i will be very much identical to the Redmi 9A like the teardrop notch screen, massive 5000mAh battery, MIUI 12 based on Android 10 and a big display. For now, we are not sure whether the phone will offer dual rear cameras and fingerprint scanner. We might see the handset having dual rear cameras to succeed the Redmi 8A Dual, but Xiaomi may not add a fingerprint scanner. The launch date of the Redmi 9i is September 15 and it is a virtual event.

Google on Thursday announced the Android 11 (Go Edition) featuring enhancements to application launches, privacy and usability. The development is on the heels of Google announcing the roll out of the Android 11 update to select Pixel devices earlier in the week. The company said that the Android Go edition was initially introduced in 2018 to "provide a high-quality smartphone experience for entry-level device owners around the world." It was highlighted that the Android Go edition has since enhanced "speed, reliability and security to over 100 million entry-level devices through apps and features specifically built to address local needs."

Google Introduces Android 11 (Go Edition) Packed with Enhancements to Privacy and Usability

The company said that the Android 11 (Go Edition) enables users to launch applications 20% faster as compared to the Android 10 (Go Edition).

The Android 11 (Go Edition) is also said to pack in several features that are available on the standard Android 11 such as enhancements to conversations and privacy.

Google said that the Android 11 (Go Edition) is said to feature a dedicated space in the notification screen for all the messaging applications on the device. The Android 11 (Go Edition) is also said to feature one-time permissions found on the standard Android 11 that enables applications to access sensitive sensors like microphone, camera and location for one single time. Further, the company said that the applications will "auto-reset" its permissions upon being unused for an "extended period of time." The Android 11 (Go Edition) also features gesture-based navigation enabling users to "take advantage of the increased screen real estate" on their favourite apps.

Android 11 (Go Edition) Compatible with "More Devices"

Crucially, Google said that the Android 11 (Go Edition) will be "available on all new devices with up to 2GB of memory." It has to be noted that the Android 10 Go edition was "tailored for smartphones" with 1.5GB memory or less.

The company said that the expansion to 2GB enables applications to launch up to 20% faster. Further, Google said that the users can run three or four applications in the background with the additional 270MB of additional free memory available to users.

BSNL Now Enables Landline, Broadband Users to Migrate to Bharat Fiber with Existing Numbers

This post first appeared on TelecomTalk Read more at: https://telecomtalk.info/bsnl-landline-broadband-migration-numbers/296555/, BSNL Now Enables Landline, Broadband Users to Migrate to Bharat Fiber with Existing Numbers

Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) on Tuesday announced that its existing landline users and the broadband users with its landline connections can now migrate to Bharat Fiber connections by retaining existing number. The operator highlighted that the users can migrate to both Bharat Fiber voice and Bharat Fiber voice with broadband connections by retaining their existing number. The implementation of landline to Bharat Fiber connection is said to be introduced "because of high data usage" with the scheme available across India. BSNL highlighted that "there was demand" for conversion to Bharat Fiber connections by retaining existing number.

BSNL Enables Migration from Landline to Bharat Fiber Voice Conversion

The operator said that the migration to Bharat Fiber Voice by retaining existing number is currently enabled to those landline users on next-generation network (NGN) switch belonging to ZTE, UTStar and Huawei. BSNL said that the existing deposit of users "will be taken into account in billing automatically" on migrating to Bharat Fiber connection.

NGN switch is said to handle multiple types of traffic such as data, voice and multimedia. It has been reported that the operator has been upgrading its exchanges to NGN technology since 2015. However, it was said those landline numbers not tied to NGN switch are required to file for landline disconnection and create a separate order for Bharat Fiber provisioning.

BSNL Users Required to Select Plan and Facilities for Migration to Bharat Fiber Connection

The operator said that the users are required to select the plan and facilities when migrating from landline and broadband combo to Bharat Fiber voice and broadband combo. BSNL said that the users will retain their existing landline number and broadband user ID on migrating to Bharat Fiber connection.

Crucially, the deposit and activation waiver schemes on Bharat Fiber are said to be not applicable in cases of migration by retaining existing numbers. BSNL said that elimination of deposit waiver schemes are due to the "current design" that requires deposits to be handled at billing end. The operator said that landline deposit present that are present in billing system needs to be carried forward and adjusted for Bharat Fiber service.

Sun Direct in a timely manner keeps on adding and removing offers from its services. Just a few days back the DTH operator added 6 new channels to its platform – Russia Today, Kalvi, Enter10 Bangla, Jinvani, Show Box, and Amar Cinema. Now Sun Direct has added two new channels to its platform. The current addition of both the channels shows that Sun Direct is focusing on the Rest of India channels. Channels added are of different genres. While one is a devotional channel, the other is a news channel. Let us take a look at both the channels which are added on the platform of Sun Direct.

Sun Direct Adds Two New Channels

Sun Direct has recently added two new channels to its offerings. The first channel added is 'Shraddha MH One'. It is a channel aimed to serve devotional content to the viewers and is available at channel number 759. Coming to the second channel which has been added, it is the STV Haryana News. It is a news channel which brings you live updates and is available at channel number 587.

You can find content from various gurus on Shraddha MH One channel. For example, content from Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and other famous gurus is aired on this channel. As for the STV Haryana News, the customers will be able to access local news from Haryana.

Another update which Sun Direct has brought to its platform is that the DTH operator has changed the LCN number of DD Agartala. Earlier it was at LCN number 770 and now it is changed to 649.

Sun Direct is paying a lot of attention to its ROI (Rest of India) packs and channels. As mentioned above, the DTH operator added 6 new channels to its platform back in August and now it has added two more in a very short time span. Another highlight for Sun Direct was that its ROI HD pack emerged as one of the cheapest HD Channel packs of India.

The telecom operators in India including Reliance Jio, Airtel and Vodafone registered a marginal dip in 4G data speeds in August, Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) data reveals. According to the data released by Trai on Thursday, Reliance Jio continues to register higher data speeds as compared to its rivals. However, Idea emerged as the lone operator to register an improvement in data speeds in August as compared to the previous month. The data released by Trai on its MySpeed Portal is said to be generated using the authority's MySpeedApp. Trai highlighted that the MySpeedApp is designed to measure data speed experience, signal strength and "other network information."

Reliance Jio Continues to be Ahead, Idea Improves Data Speeds

The Trai data highlights that Reliance Jio registered an average 15.9 Mbps download speed in August. In July, the operator registered an average download speed of 16.5 Mbps.

Moto G9 Plus Goes Official With Snapdragon 730G SoC and 5000mAh Battery

This post first appeared on TelecomTalk Read more at: https://telecomtalk.info/moto-g9-plus-specs-features/296508/, Moto G9 Plus Goes Official With Snapdragon 730G SoC and 5000mAh Battery

Motorola has just launched the Moto G9 Plus in Brazil and the handset might soon reach the Indian market as well. The Moto G9 Plus is a beefed-up version of the Moto G9 that was launched a few weeks ago. Key specifications of the Moto G9 Plus include 5000mAh battery, Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G chipset and a 64MP quad-camera setup on the back. The phone runs on Android 10 out of the box and it will pick up Android 11 update as well in the coming days. Motorola already has one smartphone with Snapdragon 730G SoC in India, but the Moto G series is aimed at the offline market, so it will be interesting to see how the company prices the device in the Asian sub-continent.

Moto G9 Plus: Specifications and Features

The Moto G9 Plus is the company’s latest offering in the mid-range segment. The smartphone sports a 6.8-inch Full HD+ Max Vision display with a punch-hole cutout located on the top left of the screen. The screen also has HDR10 support and Motorola did not mention the protection used. The Moto G9 Plus comes with the Snapdragon 730G chipset, clubbed with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. Motorola might launch the handset in a different configuration in India. There’s a microSD card slot as well for storage expansion.

The phone lacks a high refresh rate, but the company chose to add the fingerprint scanner on the right side. As for the cameras, we are looking at a 64MP primary shooter, 8MP ultra-wide-angle shooter, 2MP depth sensor and a 2MP macro sensor. The phone is backed by a 5000mAh battery and it even has 30W fast charging support.

Moto G9 Plus: Expected Pricing in India

Motorola launched the 4GB+128GB model of Moto G9 Plus at R$2499.10 (approx. Rs 34,000). The handset will launch in India at a lower price. If Motorola prices the device under Rs 20,000 in India, it will be a tough competitor to the Poco X2, Realme 7 Pro and even the Samsung Galaxy M31s.
