    • Flipkart Big Savings Day from 20-24 Jan 21 (Top Mobile Offers)

      alt text

      The Walmart-owned e-commerce company Flipkart has kicked another sale celebrating Indian Republic Day. The online portal will host Flipkart Big Savings Day from January 20 and it will continue till 24th.

      As a part of the Flipkart Republic Day Sale, the company is offering lucrative deals and discounts on its wide range of products including smartphones and tablets, electronics and accessories, TVs and appliances, fashion brands, home and kitchen ware, furniture and mattresses, grocery and more.

      Incidentally, the Flipkart Big Savings Day will coincide with Amazon Great Republic Day Sale scheduled from Jan 20th - 23rd. It being a telecom information portal, let us concentrate the best deals on Flipkart Republic Day Sale to the mobiles section only.

      Apart from reduced prices, the bank offers make the deal sweeter. There will be an instant 10% discount on HDFC Bank cards and EMI transactions.

      iPhone 11@₹48,999:

      Of all the smartphone deals, iPhone 11 gets the tag revolutionary deal of the sale from Flipkart. The 64GB Apple iPhone 11 retailing at ₹51,999 will now cost ₹48,999. Though iPhone 12 has been launched in the market, the demand for iPhone 11 is still not diminishing in 2021 as well. Camera quality is amazing and wide angle is something to count upon.

      iPhone XR@₹35,999:

      Similarly, the biggest offer on iPhone is seen on iPhone XR. The 64GB Apple iPhone XR retailing at ₹44,999 will now cost ₹35,999. This includes 10% instant discount ₹4,000 off on HDFC card transactions.

      Though termed as the budget Apple iPhone, this is an absolute battery champ and won’t let you down. However, the only con that the XR doesn’t have is a Finger Print Home Button, instead it uses Face Recognition to unlock it or a Pin Code.

      iPhone SE @₹27,999

      Termed as the craziest offer on iPhone, the Apple iPhone SE 2020 will now cost ₹27,999 after ₹4,000 HDFC Bank offer. The Apple iPhone SE 2020 model is currently retailing at ₹35,999. That’s a straightaway 6K discount on an iPhone that can fit easily in your palm.

      If you really love compact size that doesn’t compromise on power, then incredible fast A13 Bionic chip in iPhone SE will not disappoint you. Keep the battery aside and I don’t see any other reason why you shouldn’t buy it.

      Moto G 5G @₹17,999:

      Motorola Moto G 5G portraited as the India’s first Snapdragon 750G handset retailing at ₹20,999 will now cost ₹18,999. And there will be an additional ₹1000 instant discount on HDFC Bank Credit Card and Debit Card transaction.

      Samsung Galaxy S20+ @₹44,999:

      On a similar note, there’ a crazy deal on Samsung Galaxy S20+. The flagship from last year will now be available at ₹44,999 instead the usual ₹54,999 price. This is really awesome phone in all aspects. Camera is pretty good. Zoom works quite well upto 10X.

      Mi 10T @₹26,999:

      The Mi 10T known for 8K Video Recording With 33 MP Snaps and Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor can now be grabbed for just ₹26,999 instead of the usual ₹35,999. Specs wise, it is far better than OnePlus 8t which is using 4-year-old Sony sensor.

    • Oppo Reno5 Pro 5G Unveiled (Oppo’s First 5G Handset in India)

      alt text

      In a big development, the Chinese consumer electronics giant Oppo has unveiled Oppo Reno5 Pro 5G in India. Incidentally, this is Oppo’s first 5G handset in the Indian territory.

      The Guangdong-headquartered Chinese company has stated that India will be the first overseas market for Oppo Reno5 Pro 5G and thereafter a global release will be followed.

      You might be aware that Oppo Reno series is purely a high-end but affordable flagship handset. Previously, it used Snapdragon 720G chipset and 48MP quad-camera configuration on Oppo Reno4 Pro.

      Oppo Reno5 Pro 5G Specifications:

      Regarding specifications of the latest Oppo Reno5 Pro 5G, it sports a 6.55-inch Super AMOLED 3D curved display (2400x1800p, 402ppi) with 90Hz refresh rate and 180Hz sampling rate. The smartphone has just 7.6mm thickness and weighs 173 grams.

      The display comes with HDR10+ certification and supports dual-view video mode.

      It is powered by MediaTek Dimensity 1000+ SoC, ARM G77 GPU and up to 8GB RAM. It’s the first handset to be powered by such higher-end 5G ready chipset in the Indian market. Sadly, it limits the internal storage to 128GB and there’s no microSD slot to expand its memory any further.

      AI Quad-camera Setup with Live HDR:

      The Oppo Reno5 Pro 5G has AI quad-camera setup on the back that includes 64MP f/1.7 primary camera, 8MP f/2.2 ultra-wide camera, 2MP sensors f/2.4 each for macro and mono shots. It supports 4K video@30fps, Live HDR and Ultra Night Video recording features as well. For selfies and video calling, there’s a 32MP f/2.4 selfie snapper.

      Backed by a decent 4350mAh battery and 65W SuperVOOC 2.0 ultra-fast charging technology, the company claims that Oppo Reno5 Pro 5G can be charged from 0% to 100% in just 30 minutes. Even just 5 minutes charging gives you 4 hours of video playback. It runs ColorOS 11.1 based on Android 11 out-of-the-box.

      Connectivity wise, the Oppo Reno5 Pro 5G supports 5G, 4G, Bluetooth 5.1, Wi-Fi 6, WLAN, Earphone jack, and USB Type-C port.

      Oppo Reno5 Pro 5G Price and Competition:

      alt text

      Clad in Starry Black and Astral Blue color variants, the new Oppo Reno5 Pro 5G will retail at ₹35,990 ($490/€405). Starting January 22nd, one can grab this 5G handset on Flipkart, Oppo e-store, Croma and other retail partners.

      As an introductory offer, there’s a 10% cashback on purchases (for the first 3 days) through HDFC and ICICI Bank cards. Moreover, the OPPO Care provides a complete damage protection for 180 days. Apart from OPPO assured buyback and 180 days extended warranty, one gets free 120GB cloud storage for 12 months on purchase of Oppo Reno5 Pro 5G handset.

      At this price range, the Oppo Reno5 Pro 5G will have to face a stiff competition from other popular handsets including OnePlus 8T, Mi 10T/Mi 10T Pro, Realme X3 Super Zoom, Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite and Google Pixel 4a.

      So, what is your opinion on the latest Oppo Reno5 Pro 5G? Would you be ready to upgrade from Oppo Reno4 Pro? Share your thoughts.

    • Four JioPhone Plans Out of the List (Jio All-in-One Plans in 2021)

      alt text

      Here comes the bad news for JioPhone 4G feature phone users. The Reliance Jio has removed 4 Jio recharge plans namely ₹99, ₹153, ₹297 and ₹594. Sadly, these JioPhone plans used to be the popular choice for JioPhone users.

      Starting Jan 2021, the 4G VoLTE company provided a big relief by removing the IUC charges. To compensate the IUC charges, the company used to add 500 non-Jio free minutes to call other network providers. Now, calls to all networks are completely free and stay unlimited.

      Henceforth, there will be only 4 JioPhone plans namely ₹75, ₹125, ₹155 and ₹185. Termed as Jio All-in-One plans, the above listed plans will work only in JioPhone.

      Jio All-in-One Plans Explained:

      The smallest JioPhone plan ₹75 packs unlimited voice calls, 3GB data (0.1GB per day) and 50 SMS with a validity of 28 days. It also includes Jio Apps complimentary subscription.

      The next higher plan is ₹125. It provides 0.5GB data per day. In short, the pack provides unlimited calls, 14GB total data, 300 SMS with a validity of 28 days.

      The ₹155 JioPhone plan provides daily 1GB data and 100 SMS per day. All the other benefits remain the same. In short, this 155 recharge packs 28GB total data with 28 days validity period.

      The higher end JioPhone plan ₹185 ships daily 2GB data that sums up a total of 56GB data. Apart from unlimited voice calls, daily 100 SMS, you get access to Jio Apps.

      Plans Validity Daily Data Benefit Total Data Benefit SMS Benefit
      ₹75 28 Days 0.1GB 3GB 50 SMS
      ₹125 28 Days 0.5GB 14GB 300 SMS
      ₹155 28 Days 1GB 28GB 100 SMS/day
      ₹185 28 Days 2GB 56GB 100 SMS/day

      Jio Apps Complimentary Subscription:

      All the four Jio All-in-One packs provide Jio Apps complimentary subscription. It includes Jio TV, Jio Cinema, Jio News, and other Jio Apps.

      Though most of the JioPhone handset users use it for voice calling, there are some internet savvy persons who get the best out of it. Personally, I’ve seen many folks using YouTube and WhatsApp messenger on JioPhone. For them, the higher-end data plans serve the best.

      So, what is your opinion on the exclusive Jio All-in-One plans? Share your thoughts.

    • BSNL ₹365 Plan, the Cheapest Annual Prepaid (Freebies 60 Days)

      alt text

      The state-owned telecom company BSNL has launched a new annual prepaid plan ₹365 in the prepaid segment. With this plan, BSNL distinguishes itself as the most pocket-friendly telecom operator.

      The new BSNL ₹365 prepaid plan offers daily 2GB data and unlimited voice calling benefits. Sadly, these freebies are provided for a limited 60 days period. Leaving it aside, this annual plan is a good fit for incoming calls.

      The Cheapest Annual Plan in the Entire Prepaid Segment:

      BSNL known for being pocket-friendly has got this super affordable ₹365 prepaid annual plan. True to its name, this is a year-long plan and is unarguable, the cheapest annual plan offered by any telecom provider.

      For the sake of comparison, Reliance Jio offers ₹1299 plan that has 336 days validity. On the other hand, Bharti Airtel has got ₹1498 plan with 365 days validity. On a similar note, Vi offers ₹1499 plan with 365 days validity.

      Incidentally, the BSNL has also got ₹1499 prepaid annual plan that provides the freebies for the entire validity period. However, the BSNL ₹365 prepaid plan is a different product targeted at a specific niche.

      Though the BSNL freebies are valid for only 60 days, validity wise BSNL ₹365 is surely a number one pick. That means by paying ₹365, the user can keep the BSNL SIM active for full one year.

      BSNL ₹365 Prepaid Plan Benefits:

      As said, the freebies include unlimited calls to any network in India, 2GB daily data (post 2GB usage speed gets throttled to 40Kbps) and 100 SMS benefits per day. You get free BSNL Tunes subscription as well. These benefits are valid across India including Delhi and Mumbai Telecom Circles.

      Earlier, the BSNL too followed FUP limit of 250 minutes per day. However, from January 11th, there’s no limit on unlimited calls.

      The Airtel’s ₹1599 Postpaid Plan is eligible for 1 free add-on connection worth ₹249 with unlimited calls. Beyond consumption of allocated freebies, the add-ons will be charged at ₹249 for regular unlimited calls, 10GB data, 100SMS/day and 99 for only DATA SIM respectively.

      What’s Your Opinion?

      Sadly, this Airtel’s ₹1599 Postpaid Plan is not a part of Airtel Family Postpaid Plans. Leaving it aside, this is a high-end value meant for Airtel Postpaid users. However, if you don’t have a decent Airtel coverage then check out other alternative plans from its competitors.

      The Vodafone Idea has recently launched Vi ₹699 plan that offers unlimited data, 100 SMS per month, 1-yr Amazon Prime, Zee5 Premium and Vi Movies and TV subscription. This seems to be a solid plan. As said earlier, everything depends on the network coverage area.
