BSNL Abhinandan-151 plan revised to offer 500MB extra daily data

BSNL has revised its popular Abhnandan-151 plan. It was introduced only a few weeks ago, and offered 1GB daily data. It was launched in Tamil Nadu and Chennai circles. However, after the revision, the plan now comes with more data benefits. The state-run telecom company took it to Twitter to announce the revised plan benefits. 

The telco is offering 500MB extra data per day for a period of 24 days. “Win with #BSNL’s Abhinandan-151 #Plan! Now data limit increased from 1 GB to 1.5 GB per day. Also Get #Unlimited Calls, Unlimited Data and 100 SMS/day,” said the official tweet. 

As you can read from the tweet caption, the Abhinandan-151 plan comes with a validity period of 24 days and it now offers 1.5GB data per day. Furthermore, the plan offers unlimited local, STD and roaming calls and 100 SMS per day for the subscribers, which remain the same as the plan before revision. 

However, the is actually unlimited as the company will provide after FUP speeds of 40 Kbps which will be more than enough to do basic browsing and send WhatsApp messages. 

To recall, BSNL Abhinandan-151 plan competes with Reliance Jio’s Rs 149 prepaid plan. The latter offers 1.5GB daily data as well, and it comes with 28 days of validity. 

Recently, BSNL also launched a new membership programme named “Star 498.” It offers benefits such as unlimited voice calls (in all circles except Delhi and Mumbai), 1,000 SMS messages, and 30GB data. The data is valid for 30 days. However, the plan’s validity is for 365 days. The programme competes with Bharti Airtel’s “Airtel Thanks” loyalty programme. As of now, the Star 498 plan is being offered in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana circles. BSNL should, however, expand the plan in other circles in the future.

Samsung Galaxy Note10, Note10+ leaked image suggests three colours options at launch

The Samsung Galaxy Note10 series of phones are turning out to be one of the most extensively leaked handsets. Ahead of the official Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event on August 7, the phones have been outed multiple times in renders, live images and reports. Now, a new image by the tipster Evan Blass gives us an even better look at the upcoming phones. The tipster has shown off three colour options of the Samsung Galaxy Note10 and Note10+ in a new image, which suggests that the handsets could be launched in Black, White, and a Pearl gradient colour model. 

As you can see from the image below, the Samsung Galaxy Note10+ is said to be the first row. The image not only gives us a good look at the device’s three colour models but also at its design. There are four cameras on the back, one of which is speculated to be a ToF sensor and the punch-hole display design on the upper-mid section of the screen is clearly visible too. The S Pen on the side is a good way to give us an idea of how big the device could be. On the bottom row is the Samsung Galaxy Note10, which looks a bit smaller than the Galaxy Note10+. There is also no ToF camera on the back. The power button is also not present on the device’s right spine, while the volume rockers and the Bixby button sits on the left edge. 

The new leaks come soon after another tipster tweeted some live images of the Note10. The smartphone was spotted in a Korean stadium, along with the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2. The handset was wrapped in a protective cover. Renders of the Galaxy Watch Active 2 were also posted recently, which reveal the device’s design. Going by the renders, the Galaxy Watch Active 2 could lose a rotating bezel and it is touted to come with touch-enabled bezels.

Audi unveils e-tron electric luxury SUV in India

Audi fans will know that the German car maker has been working on a fully-electric luxury SUV called e-tron ever since it first showcased the e-tron quattro concept back in 2015. Today, Audi unveiled the nearly ready e-tron SUV in India at its newly opened showroom in Gurugram. The showroom will house 21 Audi cars on the floor, including used cars. Although Audi has no official launch date for its new electric SUV, the Audi e-tron is expected to be launched in India in the coming months.

At the unveiling, Rahil Ansari, the Head of Audi India, took the opportunity to talk about some of the brand's new services. The first of them was the myAudi Connect app for smartphones, which, like Suzuki Connect and Hyundai Blue Link, will enable a user to control a host of features on their Audi, apart from getting essential information about their car remotely. The new smartphone connectivity service is optional on all existing Audi models and costs Rs 19,999 for a subscription period of three years.

The second service involves a digital retail experience for new Audi customers. For example, a customer interested in buying the Audi A8 L can customise their car (interior and exterior) on a tablet device provided by Audi at the comfort of their home. During the process, the customer will be able to observe real-time changes to the trim they're customising. Audi is also setting up virtual reality studios in some of its showrooms, which involves the use of a mixed reality headset and a Windows laptop.

The Audi e-tron is powered by a 95kWh lithium-ion battery, which Audi claims is good for up to 400 kilometres of driving range on a single charge. When connected to a 150kW DC fast-charger, the battery can regain 80 percent of its charge in thirty minutes. However, charging to full  through a typical domestic wall socket (11kW) will take about 8 hours, 30 minutes. The e-tron, with its peak electrical output of 265 kW, can go from 0 to 100 kilometres per hour in 5.7 seconds.
