    • Nokia C20 Plus with Android Go & 4950mAh Battery (Priced CNY699)

      alt text

      HMD Global, the Finnish mobile phone manufacturer, has come up with a Plus variant to its budget handset Nokia C20. In similar lines, it boots Android 11 Go Edition.

      Considering the budget tag, the Nokia C20 Plus is powered by Unisoc SC9863A SoC. Sporting a 6.5-inch HD+ LCD screen, the Plus variant packs 3GB RAM and 32GB internal storage. One can add extra storage up to 256GB using a microSD card.

      On the optics front, there’s an 8MP primary and 2MP depth sensor. It also houses a waterdrop notch for the 5MP selfie camera.

      Face Unlock, No Fingerprint Reader:

      If you are looking for a fingerprint reader, then you’ll be disappointed as it doesn’t have an inbuilt one. However, it is equipped with Face Unlock for biometric unlocking.

      Though there’s nothing great about the specs, the Nokia C20 Plus is made strong and sturdy using a one-piece polycarbonate shell. The 3D corrugated design makes it appealing.

      Powered by a mammoth 4950mAh battery along with a 10W micro USB port, the Nokia C20 Plus is a powerhouse that can stay with you easily for 2 days. On the connectivity front, it gets a 3.5mm headphone jack as well.

    • Spectra Broadband Offers 250Mbps Speed at Just ₹999 (Is it the Best?)

      alt text

      Shyam Spectra broadband internet services are also known as Spectra is a popular ISP offering services in Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Gurugram, Mumbai, Noida and Pune.

      Interestingly, Spectranet offers better broadband plans when compared to market leaders like Reliance JioFiber and Airtel Xstream. Though this Gurgaon-based broadband service provider has launched its FTTH services in September 2017, it is yet to show its true potential.

      Shyam Telecom Rebranded as Spectra:

      After rebranding itself as Spectra, the Shyam Telecom Ltd group made good advances by offering fibre-optic broadband services to residential and enterprise customers.

      Starting with 250Mbps speed, Spectra offers truly economical plans to its customers. As said earlier, Spectra offers better plans when compared to its rivals.

      Spectra ₹999 Broadband Plan:

      The most popular plan in Spectra’s kitty is ₹999. The AirMesh Lite ₹999 offers 250Mbps internet speed at just ₹999 per month. As per the plan, there’s no FUP limit on data usage. It’s truly an unlimited plan.

      The subscriber gets a dual-band Wi-Fi router for free. This remains more or less the same with all the ISP’s in the market. Some charge a monthly rental for it while others take a minimum commitment.

      The only disadvantage of considering Spectra is its installation charge. One needs to shell out ₹1000 as the installation charges. Considering the GST, a new customer has to pay a total of ₹4359.

      This initial upfront ₹4359 payment includes 1-month ₹999 rental, ₹1000 installation charge, ₹360 GST, and ₹2000 refundable security deposit. As the company is providing a dual-band Wi-Fi router, it is forced to accept ₹2000 as a refundable security deposit.

      alt text

      What’s the Best Broadband Plan Under ₹1000?

      If you don’t have any problem with the initial ₹4359 payment, you get to enjoy an unlimited internet experience at 250Mbps. This is far ahead when compared to Airtel Xstream Fiber and JioFiber speeds that are limited to 200Mbps and 150Mbps respectively.

      Not just in terms of speed alone, Spectra offers truly unlimited data whereas the leading ISP providers limit their data usage to 3.3TB. If browsing high-speed internet is your criteria, then Spectra fits your bill. Otherwise, stay away.

      Why I said, “Stay away”? This is because it doesn’t provide any OTT benefit. This makes Reliance and Airtel value picks. When you don’t have over-the-top (OTT) content to watch, then what’s the use of having unlimited data?

      If OTT benefit is the main preference, then JioFiber is the best one to choose. Moreover, there is no free voice calls benefit in Spectra, leaving JioFiber as the most preferred choice for the best broadband plan under ₹1000.

      So, what is your opinion on the plans offered by Spectra broadband? Share your thoughts.

      Price & Competition:

      As it’s a budget handset, the Tecno Mobile will get a lot of competition in the Indian market. It is nothing wrong to say that the Indian mobile handset is dominated by the likes of Redmi, Poco, Realme and Samsung (to a certain extent) in the budget category.

      Currently, the main contenders in this budget segment are Poco M3, Moto E7 Plus, Realme Narzo 30A, Realme C25, and Samsung Galaxy M12.

      With aggressive pricing of ₹9,999, the Tecno Spark 7 Pro is a good option to consider. If you are looking for a 6GB RAM variant, then one needs to spend an extra 1K.

      Starting May 28th, one can gran this handset on the Amazon India marketplace. As a launch offer, there would be a 10% instant discount for SBI Credit cardholders.

      So, what is your opinion on the latest handset from Xiaomi’s sub-brand Redmi? Share your thoughts.

    • BSNL STV1098 Prepaid Plan with Truly Unlimited Data (Validity 84 Days)

      alt text

      Though the state-run telecom player Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has got 4G network in select telecom circles, only a few are aware of its 4G vouchers. The company has got truly unlimited data vouchers that offers 4G connectivity

      Starting at just ₹7, BSNL has got many 4G data vouchers. However, the BSNL STV1098 prepaid plan provides an ultimate value for the 4G voucher. The beauty of this 4G voucher is no speed limitation.

      BSNL 4G STV1098 Plan:

      The BSNL STV1098 prepaid plan offers unlimited 4G data, unlimited voice calling and 100 SMS/day. It comes with a validity period of 84 days. Apart from the regular combo benefits, the STV 1098 offers free caller tunes where the user can change unlimited number of times.

      If the user gets a full signal, then BSNL 4G is surely the best bet over the private telecom companies. Undoubtedly, this BSNL STV1098 can replace the need for wired broadband. However, the technical feasibility of BSNL network coverage is the main concern.

      BSNL 4G STV 599 Plan:

      The state-owned telecom network provider has also got an affordable 4G voucher to suit the needs of online learning. The BSNL STV599 is a 4G voucher that offers daily 5GB of 4G data with FUP limit. Post the usage of 5GB data, the speed comes down to 80Kbps.

      This 4G prepaid plan offers unlimited voice calling and daily 100 SMS benefit for a period of 90 days. Undoubtedly, this is a go-to 4G recharge with 5GB daily limit and 90 days validity. The only con is the availability of BSNL 4G network.

      Leaving it aside, if you dwell under the BSNL 4G coverage area, then just pick the BSNL 4G STV 599 prepaid plan. In spite of such beautiful plans, the state-run telecom BSNL is unable to add new subscribers to its board.

      BSNL 4G is The BEST but:

      As per the industry analysts, lack of BSNL 4G is the prime reason. Currently, the BSNL 4G connectivity is limited to only certain parts of India. Though the BSNL 4G VoLTE services started in Coimbatore it couldn’t set the momentum.

      Later on, the BSNL 4G was expanded to other telecom circles including AP, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. But still, its coverage is limited to certain areas in the above telecom circles.

      If the subscriber gets a decent BSNL 4G coverage, then he can happily reduce his bills on wired broadband. No other telecom company is providing such cheaper 4G plans to its subscribers.

      So, what is your opinion on the recent revision of BSNL ₹109 prepaid voucher ? Share your thoughts.

      alt text

      The Chinese smartphone manufacturer Transsion Holdings has launched its Tecno Spark 7 handset in the Indian market. Starting 16th April, this budget handset will be available for sale on the Amazon India eCommerce platform.

      Though it is a budget handset, the Tecno Spark 7 is backed by a mammoth 6000mAh battery. Probably, that might be the only reason to advertise it as a 30-day standby handset. Apart from this, the company has not revealed anything related to screen time or video playtime.

      Tecno Spark 7 Specifications:

      The Tecno Spark 7 sports a 6.5-inch HD+ dot notch screen display with 720x1600p resolution. The aspect ratio and screen-to-body ratios are 20:9 and 90.34% respectively. Supporting a peak brightness of up to 480 nits, it can’t let you down.

      Sadly, it doesn’t pack a 4/64GB configuration which is a new standard for the budget handsets.

      16MP AI Dual Rear Camera:

      alt text

      On the optics front, Tecno Spark 7 sports a 16MP AI dual rear camera with f/1.8 aperture and Quad Flash. The second module supports Video Bokeh and can record 120 fps slow-motion videos.

      For video calling and selfies, there’s an 8MP sensor with f/2.0 aperture and dual front flash. It also packs Face Unlock and Fingerprint Sensor for tightening the security.

      Smart AI System for Longer Performance:

      As disclosed earlier, the Tecno Spark 7 comes with a 6000mAh battery. It is equipped with a smart AI system that cuts off the charging when completely done. As a result, the handset delivers a longer performance.

      Connectivity-wise, the Tecno Spark 7 supports 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi, OTG, Bluetooth, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. It sadly misses the USB-C charging cable inside the retail box.

      This Chinese handset boots Tecno’s HiOS 7.5 software built on Android 11. As it is a customized version, the handset has got many interesting features like dark mode, chat bubbles, etc.

      Available in 3 color variants (Magnet Black, Morpheus Blue, and Spruce Green), the Tecno Spark 7 will cost ₹7500 ($100/€85) for the basic 2/32GB model. For the next higher model 3/32GB, one has to pay ₹8500. As a launch offer, the company has announced a flat discount of ₹500 on both models.
