OnePlus collaborates with Jio to bring standalone 5G to India

In a bid to expand the reach of 5G and to satiate waiting customers, OnePlus has decided to collaborate with Reliance Jio to bring stand-alone 5G technology to our country.

According to an officially released statement, the duo will actively work on the backend to make the technology more accessible. 

They entered into a formal agreement at the Indian Mobile Congress (IMC) in New Delhi. The event took place between October 1 and 4 wherein 5G was shown to Jio users with eligible sets of OnePlus devices. 

As of now, Bharti Airtel and Jio have both started to roll out their 5G services from October 1 based on SA (standalone) and NSA (non-standalone) architecture.

As per the companies, 5G should cover the whole country by 2023-24.

Is OnePlus the first brand to sign such an agreement with Jio’s ‘True 5G’ technology?

OnePlus is not the only brand, even different mobile brands like Xiaomi, Redmi, Samsung and Oppo have announced that their devices will come powered with Jio’s ‘True 5G’ technology. 

President of Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd., Sunil Dutt said “The real power of a 5G smartphone can only be unleashed by a True 5G network like Jio, which is built as a standalone 5G network, the most advanced network of its kind.”

Which models will have access to Jio 5G?

The models that will have access to the Jio True 5G network will be the OnePlus 10 series, the OnePlus 9R, the OnePlus 8 series and some Nord devices. It is expected to soon follow in the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9RT devices.

Navnit Nakra who is the Head of OnePlus India said “With 5G technology, users will enjoy a truly seamless, speedy internet, while achieving a lot more from their daily use of smartphones than they could possibly imagine.”

What is Twitters golden tick How much does it cost and what are its benefits

Twitter is rolling out Golden Tick to official organisations. So, while individual accounts have blue ticks, organizations will get a golden tick and that’s how you can differentiate them. This follows the relaunch of the Twitter Blue service. Blue costs ₹999 a month. But, how much does the Twitter golden tick cost? And what are its benefits, if at all any? Let’s break it all down here.

What is Twitter Golden Tick?

Twitter Golden Tick is just an indication that the organisation with it is officially verified to be a legit entity. When you click on the Verified button next to the account handle, it shows the account is an “official business on Twitter”.

How much does Twitter Golden Tick cost?

In case you are wondering, yes, Twitter Golden Tick is part of Twitter Blue which took rebirth yesterday. More specifically, organizations that have paid for Twitter Blue for Business get the golden checkmark instead of the blue one.

In a few months, we will remove all legacy blue checks. The way in which they were given out was corrupt and nonsensical.

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) December 12, 2022

So, Twitter Golden Tick doesn’t cost anything extra.

Twitter Golden Tick benefits

With the Golden Tick, organizations will be getting the Twitter Blue benefits such as:

- Ability to edit tweets 

- Longer video uploads up to 1080p quality

- reader mode for a distraction-free reading experience

- 50% lesser ads

- Quicker access to new features

However, be it an organization or person, you need to undergo a review process and only when you are approved, you get this golden/blue tick.

Incidentally, these won’t be the only identity marks that Twitter is working on. In a recent post, it mentions of an Official profile label for government accounts (institutional accounts, elected or appointed officials, and multilateral organizations)*, certain political organizations such as political parties, commercial companies including business partners, major brands, media outlets and publishers, and some other public figures.

Also,  “state-affiliated media and government accounts” could get a “unique label” going forward.
