Samsung Galaxy S22 Might Feature Wider Display With Ultra-Narrow Bezels

Posted: 16 Oct 2021 07:37 AM PDT

Samsung is expected to push the meaning of ultra-flagship to the next level. As per recent developments, the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S22 has been pushed back to January for the overdue release of the Galaxy S21 FE. It seems that the S22 series devices will be wider than the S21 series devices. The Snapdragon 898 will be debuting around mid-December, and the Samsung Galaxy S22 series is expected to be the first to be powered with it.

Samsung S22 and S22+ Expected Specifications

According to a report from IT Home, a picture was released on what to expect from Samsung Galaxy S22 and S22+. The image shows the tempered glass of both the models made by the accessory manufacturer prior to the release of the phone. As per the photograph shared, one can see that the device has rounder corners than the previous year's model. The smartphone is equipped with equal bezels, which Apple has continued from the beginning with its iPhone models. It is worth noting that the Samsung Galaxy S22 series has already acquired the 3C Certification in China. The models might feature a conventional punch-hole selfie. The Samsung Galaxy S22 might come with a 6.1-inch display and the S22+ with a 6.6-inch screen. In terms of optics, both the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22+ is expected to get an upgrade with Samsung's ISOCELL GN5, which is a 50MP sensor with all-directional autofocus. As per the 3C Certification, this handset might have 25W charging technology. The vanilla Galaxy S22 might come with a 3700mAh battery, while the S22+ might come with a 5000mAh. The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra might have a design similar to the Galaxy Note series with stylus support. The fixed date for Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is not out yet. But the launch is expected to be in the first month of 2022. The Galaxy S21 FE might come out with the Android 12 OS out of the box.

You Broadband Rs 400 Plan Is Perfect for Most

Posted: 16 Oct 2021 05:49 AM PDT

You Broadband, a broadband internet subsidiary of Vodafone Idea (Vi), provides services across multiple regions of India. The company has revamped a lot of its offerings in 2021. The revamped plans are available in select circles. There's a Rs 400 plan offered by the company that is available in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. This plan is perfect for people looking for an entry-level offering that offers decent benefits and is also pocket friendly. Let's take a look at what's special about this plan.

You Broadband Rs 400 Plan Details

As mentioned above, You Broadband offers a Rs 400 plan to the users in Ahmedabad. This plan offers 30 Mbps of speed and 3.5TB fair-usage-policy (FUP) data to the users. The price mentioned here is exclusive of taxes. Including tax, the total amount that the consumer will have to shell out is Rs 472. This is not bad considering that you get exactly the same benefits from JioFiber and for the same price. The company doesn't charge installation on select plans, but the 30 Mbps plan for one month is probably going to include some installation charges. Note that for a Wi-Fi router, you will have to pay You Broadband one time completely refundable security deposit of Rs 1,999. Users can also avail voice + data plans from You Broadband. But for such plans, consumers have to pay more. The same broadband plan is also available for the long term. Users who purchase this plan for 90 days will get 5 days of extra service (95 days in total). For 180 days, the company will offer 10 additional days (total 190 days) of service without any extra cost and for 365 days, You Broadband bumps up the service by 15 more days (380 days in total). This plan is perfect for a small family because it delivers sufficient speeds and offers 3.5TB of data every month. Further, it is more affordable compared to the entry-level plans from Airtel and BSNL.

JioPhone Next Has Branding Gaps from LYF It Needs to Recover From: Opinion

Posted: 16 Oct 2021 03:03 AM PDT

JioPhone Next, an upcoming affordable smartphone offering Reliance Jio is going to make its entry in the Indian market soon. The thing is, JioPhone Next will have to recover from the branding gaps left by LYF. This is not the first time that Jio is trying to come out with a smartphone. It has already tried doing that with LYF in the past. The issue was the user experience. While LYF smartphones were cheap and made 4G a possibility for the masses, they failed to deliver a decent user experience. However, a key point to note here would be the Reliance Jio never intended to avail users of a strong smartphone experience with LYF devices. Jio was only trying to proliferate the availability of VoLTE supportive smartphones in the market so that its network business can grow faster. But with the JioPhone Next, Jio must deliver a strong user experience. There are already affordable 4G devices available in the market. Consumers don't want a slow and laggy Android experience; regardless of the price, they are paying. This is where the partnership with Google might help Jio.

JioPhone Next Price Is Less Relevant than User Experience

JioPhone Next's price will be less relevant than the kind of user experience it can deliver. With the financing options, most people with moderate income and exposure today can go for a decent 4G device in the Rs 15,000 to Rs 20,000 range. A large number of people might be aware of the slow performance that LYF phones had. Reliance Jio will have to ensure that a smooth Android experience is delivered to the users. Because if that happens, then consumers will be ready to pay even Rs 7,000. It will still be a good deal because of the kind of power the smartphone will have. But if there's no good user experience, the JioPhone Next could go very wrong for the company. The smart idea would be to not purchase the smartphone right away as it comes to the market. There will be pre-booking options available, but wait until the time reviews are out and it would be a wise thing to test out the device in your hand before you purchase it. If you feel it’s good enough, purchase it, if not, then let it go.

BSNL Google Nest Hub Offer

Customers with the old plans will have to pay Rs 2,388 (12 months x Rs 199). The long-term broadband plan offers for both the old and new plans are different.

Mi Band 5, Oppo Band Style Available for Same Price Now

Posted: 15 Oct 2021 09:48 PM PDT

Multiple smart wearables made their entry into the Indian market in 2020 and 2021. The thing is, unlike smartphones, consumers have a lot less experience with smart bands and smartwatches. Thus, it becomes a little hard for an average consumer to make the best decision while purchasing a smart band or a fitness band. Brands such as Xiaomi, Noise, Oppo, OnePlus, and more have announced very aggressively priced fitness bands in India. The Mi Band 5 from Xiaomi, which came to the market yesteryear, and the Oppo Band Style, which was launched in March 2021, are now both priced the same. Both of them are now priced the same. So which one should you pick? Here's a few things that might help you decide.

Mi Band 5 Specifications and Price

The Mi Band 5 is now available for Rs 1,999. It weighs 11.9 grams and comes with a 1.1-inch AMOLED display. The max brightness that this band can support is 450 nits. The Mi Band 5 packs a 125mAh battery that can last for up to two weeks on moderate usage. This fitness band can pair with the Mi Fit application and will be compatible with devices running on Android 5.0 and above; iOS 10.0 and above. It comes with support for 11 professional sports modes. Since it is 5ATM rated, you can wear the smart band comfortably while swimming. The Mi Band 5 can automatically detect activities such as running and walking. Its healthy features include sleep monitoring, guided breathing exercise, women's health tracker, Personal Activity Intelligence (PAI), calories burnt, and more.

Oppo Band Style Specifications and Price

The Oppo Band Style is also priced at Rs 1,999. It weighs 10.3 grams without the strap. So with strap, it should be anywhere around what Mi Band 5 weighs. The features are almost the same. There is a 100mAh battery inside, and it can run up to 12 days comfortably. It supports 12 exercise modes, including swimming, Cricket, yoga, and more. There is support for SpO2 monitoring, sleep monitoring, breathing exercise, etc. If you want a slightly larger battery, try out the Mi Band 5. But if you want something that's launched recently, you can go for the Oppo Band Style. Honestly, apart from a few very minor differences, there's nothing too different about these bands. Either of them is a safe buy.

Vodafone Idea 4G Data Vouchers for Work From Home in October

Posted: 15 Oct 2021 06:33 PM PDT

Vodafone Idea, the third-largest telecom operator in India, is offering multiple prepaid 4G data vouchers to users. These 4G vouchers are apt for both people who just want a small data boost for the day because they have exhausted their fair-usage-policy (FUP) data and also for people who want more data to work from home comfortably. There are a total of six 4G data vouchers that you can purchase from the telco today. These plans cost Rs 16, Rs 48, Rs 98, Rs 251, Rs 351, and Rs 601.

Vodafone Idea 4G Data Vouchers

As mentioned above, there are a total of six 4G data vouchers that you can purchase from Vodafone Idea (Vi). The base voucher of Rs 16 comes with 1GB of data, and it comes expires within 24 hours or 1 day. Then you can purchase the Rs 48 voucher, for which you will get 3GB of data for 28 days. It is a good voucher for people on the 28 days unlimited plan from the telco. Moving on, with the Rs 98 voucher, users get 12GB of data with a validity of 28 days. It is worth noting that previously, the telco offered only 6GB of data for the same amount. But with 12GB now, it is a great deal. Then you have got the two data vouchers that are specially made for the users for 'Working from Home'. First is the Rs 251 4G plan, which comes with 50GB of data and has a validity of 28 days. If you are looking for more data and more validity, then you can pay Rs 100 more and go for the Rs 351 voucher. With the Rs 351 voucher, users get 100GB of data, and this plan has a validity of 56 days. The sixth and the most expensive 4G data voucher from Vodafone Idea comes for Rs 601. The speciality of this voucher is that it comes with an over-the-top (OTT) benefit. Users get 75GB of data and a free Disney+ Hotstar Mobile subscription for one year for 56 days. These are all the 4G data vouchers that you can purchase from Vodafone Idea if you want to boost data on your unlimited plan. It would have been good if Vodafone Idea offered more data vouchers under Rs 200 and with different validities. There is definitely room for a 2GB data voucher as well. The telco's 1GB data voucher is quite expensive at Rs 16. So a 2GB data voucher for Rs 24 or 25 from Vodafone Idea (Vi) would be a much better deal.
