Reliance Jio- It seems 'Duniya Hila denge hum' wasn't only for Mumbai Indians

Reliance Jio logo

At Reliance's AGM on 1st September '16, Mukesh Ambani announced the commercial launch of Reliance Jio. The tariffs are likely to shake up the entire telecom sector in India. Although analysts are already questioning the revenue model and profitability of this new player, it's a win-win situation for the customers.

Voice calls will be free forever and 4g data charges, claimed to be the cheapest in the world will be about 1/10th of what the competitors are charging. All jio services including voice, apps, and 4G LTE data would be available free of cost to everyone from September 5 to December 31, 2016.

Mukesh Ambani said that the customers should pay only for one service- that is either voice or data because world over, operators charge only for data, while voice and messaging are essentially free.Plans start from 19 and go up to 5,000 depending on the amount of data and validity. The entire Jio plans list, including the ones that were not announced at the event, are as follows:

Further, students will get about 25% bonus data, if they have a valid id while signing up for Jio. Also, Jio suite of applications providing services like movie streaming, music, money, live Tv etc worth 15,000 for a annual subscription, would be free for all the Jio users until December 2017.

LeEco Le 1s Review - After a month's use

LeEco(or Letv as it was formally called) launched its first two smartphones in India in the beginning of February this year. Some people may look at it as just another Chinese company trying to make inroads in India but, to be frank LeEco is slightly different as it is one of the first or maybe only Chinese company to follow the concept of creating an ecosystem of products called-Le Ecosystem(hence,the name change). Now coming to the smartphone i.e the Le 1s,company seems to have created quite a good product to performance ratio with its Inr 10,999 price tag,here in India. So,let's find out if it is any good. Build & Design As far as build goes I can quite easily say that it's one of the first smartphones in India to sport a metallic unibody build at a budget price.
