Vodafone Idea (Vi) unveiled a new premium plan for prepaid users, applicable all over India. The plan is priced at ₹2,999 and offers data, SMS, calls, and a few other benefits. Vi had also introduced new plans around Diwali, with their price points being ₹1,449, ₹2,899, and ₹3,099. The new plan is available on the official website for users to evaluate and purchase. 

Vi ₹2,999 Plan Benefits

Vi’s new plan has a validity period of 365 days and offers 850GB of data with no caps. Users will also get 100 SMSs per day. Furthermore, to sweeten the deal, Vi is also offering a few benefits along with this plan, such as access to Vi TV Shows and Vi Movies. Users can enjoy access to premium films, news, live TV, original content, and more on the app. 

The plan is also offering its Binge All Night benefits. This allows users to enjoy unlimited data at night, between 12 am and 6 am. These features come with no extra cost or pack reduction of any kind. 

If you happen to exhaust 850GB of data, you can always recharge your smartphone using an add-on data plan. Note that if you don’t do this, your data usage will be charged at 50p/MB. Additionally, if you exhaust your limit of 100 SMSs, per day, then the company will charge you  ₹1 per SMS, or  ₹1.5 per STD SMSs. 

Vi 5g Updates

While we’ve begun to see 5G rollouts from other brands like Jio and Airtel, the same cannot be said for Vi even though the latter did announce their intention to get into the 5G market. Vi has acquired spectrum in 3300MHz and 26GHz 5G bands but is yet to confirm when it will be offering its services.

Xiaomi 13 and iQOO 11 to launch on December 8: Here are their newly leaked specs

Earlier this week, news broke that the launch events for the Xiaomi 13 and iQOO 11 (both flagship smartphones from their respective brands) had been cancelled right before the launch date. While the companies had not confirmed why this was the case, the alleged reason was that it was out of respect for the sudden death of the former President, Jiang Zemin. At the time of cancelling the events, the companies had not revealed any information regarding the new launch date. However, now, they’ve stated that the two smartphones will launch on 8th December.

Xiaomi 13 leaked features

Leaked renders of the Xiaomi 13 models give us a fair indication of what to expect from them. Based on the images, the Xiaomi 13 Pro has a protruding camera model that will house a floating lens that contains 3 Leica sensors. The functionality of this lens will be such that it allows the lens elements to adjust in order to take the best possible image, even when capturing objects that are 10-cm close. 

The  Xiaomi 13 is believed to have a 6.73-inch OLED screen with a 2K resolution. The display may have a 120Hz refresh rate along with 1920Hz pulse width modulation. It is also believed that it will have a 4820mAh battery that has 50W wireless charging support along with 120W wired fast charging. 

While the features above are based on rumours, the brand has confirmed a few specifications as well. The smartphone will run on Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset along with LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.0 storage. The Xiaomi 13 models will run the MIUI 14. 

iQOO 11 leaked features

The iQOO 11 will run on the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen2 SoC (this has been confirmed by Qualcomm). It is also believed to come with a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate and 3200x1440 pixel resolution. The smartphone may also house a 50MP primary camera accompanied by a 16MP and an 8MP support sensors. The selfie camera could be a 13MP sensor. 

Other highlight features that you could expect are up to 16GB RAM, 512GB storage, 4880mAh battery with 120W fast charging, IR controller and an underdisplay fingerprint reader.

Whatsapp iOS testers get search by date feature, Android Beta testing for tablets commences

Whatsapp's new update allows beta testers on Android that will allow the application to be run on tablets. Beta testers can log into the tablet version of the application by linking their existing account on their smartphones (the say way one would link an existing account with the Whatsapp Desktop application). Until this update, it was impossible to access Whatsapp on a secondary Android device, but with the brand working on companion mode, this is certainly one of the critical steps in that direction. On a similar note, beta testers on Whatsapp for iOS are now seeing a new feature that lets them find messages based on the dates they were received or set. 

According to WABetaInfo, testers who are a part of the app’s beta programme can see a banner announcing the new feature. The banner says “Have an Android tablet? WhatsApp for tablet is available for beta testers.' It is important to note that the banner is only visible to those who have the WhatsApp beta 2.22.25.8 update for Android. Without this, the app will not be compatible with tablets. 

WABetaInfo has also indicated that the tablet version of Whatsapp may not have all the features that the smartphone version of the app does. They said “Note that some features may still not be available when installing WhatsApp on your tablet, for example, the ability to share a new status update, live locations, and broadcast lists,”

New features for Whatsapp iOS Beta testers

Apart from announcing the tablet version of the app, WABetaInfo has revealed that beta testers on Whatsapp iOS are gaining access to a brand-new feature that allows them to search for text messages based on the sending or receiving date. To check whether you have access to this feature, all you need to do is click the search icon and then select the calendar icon that appears alongside. In case the calendar icon is not visible, it means that you do not have access to the feature. This new feature is available on WhatsApp version 22.24.0.77.

The Samsung Galaxy M04 set to launch for under 10,000

According to industry sources, the Samsung Galaxy M04 will launch soon. The brand has created many teaser posters that indicate that this smartphone’s price will start at under ₹10,000, with a few variants being priced over this mark. There are plenty of unconfirmed speculations stating that the smartphone may be available for ₹8,999, however, since these are alleged prices, one must take this information with a grain of salt. This smartphone is intended to compete with the Realme C series and similarly priced entry-level Redmi smartphones. 

Samsung Galaxy M04 specifications

The brand has not revealed the exact specifications of this smartphone, however, the unreleased teaser images do hint at what we can expect. For starters, the phone is expected to offer 8GB RAM. It is believed that this phone will have a 6.5-inch display and an HD+ resolution. Since most entry-level smartphones today are powered by the MediaTek Helio G35 SoC chipset, we may see the same in the Samsung Galaxy M04. This may be in addition to the IMG PowerVR GE8320 GPU. 

The Samsung Galaxy M04 has been spotted on the Google Play Console listed, where it is written that it will have 3GB RAM. However, this could be the case for one of the variants of the phone, while the teaser may be speaking about a higher-end variant. The smartphone might run on the Android 12 OS and come with the OneUI custom skin. 

There are also many rumours stating that the Samung Galaxy M04 will be similar to the Samsung Galaxy A04e, which means that the smartphone may just be equipped with a 13MP primary sensor along with a 2MP depth shooter. The front camera may have a 5MP lens.

As of now, the brand has not confirmed the launch date of this smartphone, but we’re expecting that to happen soon.

Realme 10 Pro+ launched in India: Here are its top 3 features

The Realme 10 Pro+ has officially launched in India, with the brand claiming that this smartphone brings users a flagship-like visual experience. The brand states that it has spent over $15 million in R&D while creating its curved display that’s equipped with three new technologies that enhance the visuals the smartphone can deliver. With the launch announced, let’s take a look at these three new technologies.

Realme 10 Pro+: 2160Hz PWM Dimming

Most users scroll through social media in bed at night, hoping the endless scrolling of dance videos will eventually lull them to sleep. When viewed in dark environments, the screen of a smartphone causes eye strain, which can ultimately lead to health hazards. The 2160Hz PWM Dimming feature is designed to combat exactly this. This feature is claimed to offer 4.5x the improvement dimming when compared to 480Hz PWM DImming (which is a standard feature in plenty of flagship smartphones). It is also 1.7x higher than the IEEE International Lighting Standard of 1250Hz, promising a higher level of eye protection.

Realme 10 Pro+ HyperVision mode

The new smartphone also comes with the brand’s HyperVision mode, which is claimed to boost the colours and make the visual experience better. It also enhances the dynamic range of images and videos, making the darker sections even darker, and the brighter ones even brighter. This should have a significant impact on one’s content viewing experience. 

Realme 10 Pro+ Curved display with thin bottom bezels

The Realme 10 Pro+ has a curved display with extremely thin bottom bezels to bring users the largest possible curved screen. To achieve this, the brand has used COP Ultra, which is an advanced packaging technology, to ensure that the bottom bezel is no thicker than 2.33-mm. This is believed to be thinner than the bezels you see on flagship smartphones that come with curved displays.

Google Play Store Updates bring new download progress bubbles and archives

Google has announced new updates for the Google Play Store, and this will bring a few key changes to how the app functions. Google has also recently announced new updates for Android, bringing new features to smartphones, TV, and the Wear OS. Let’s take a look at what users can expect to see in the updated version of the Google Play Store.

Download progress bubble

Typically, when you download an app or game on the Google Play Store, the only way of knowing how far the download has progressed is by checking the notifications bar. Now, Google has decided to make the user experience on that front a little better by introducing a download progress bubble that will show how much you have to wait before you can start playing that game. The progress bubble will be displayed at the bottom of the screen, as indicated by the promotional images released. However, you can move it to other parts of the screen by dragging it, or dismiss it if you don’t want to watch numbers move. 

Android App Archiving

Android app archiving had been announced as a part of November’s Google System Updates. This feature helps users save space on their smartphones. What it does is that it allows users to uninstall apps they rarely use, while still saving all their user data in case they want to install the app again in the future. The saves the hassle of signing in, re-customising settings, or replaying older levels of games just to reach the one you quit on. 

The feature has not been launched yet, and we may see it in December along with the Download Progress Bubble update. Once the feature is enabled, it replaces the install button next to an uninstalled app with a button saying “Restore” indicating that your saved data on the app will be returned to you. Do note that at this point, you’re basically giving apps permission to store your data for indefinite amounts of time and who knows what can of worms will open.
