Xiaomi recently launched the Mi 6 at their event in China as the company announced plans to hit global markets soon. India is one of the most important markets for the Chinese smartphone market and Xiaomi’s Snapdragon 835 equipped Xiaomi Mi 6 plans should be launched end of May. With the phone going on sale in June. Xiaomi is already in talks with Flipkart and Amazon to flesh out launch deals, which should include some loyalty programs, and buyback schemes.

The phone which has been announced to be available in 11 colors will see at least 3 of those colors in India at launch. Xiaomi has placed the phone strategically offering similar specs to the Samsung Galaxy S8 at ridiculously cheap pricing. Xiaomi will sell you a phone with a faster 2.45 GHz Snapdragon 835, 6GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage along with a 3350 mah battery. What is different is that magical “infinity display” on the new Samsung phones does not exist on the new Xiaomi Mi 6 and instead of taking their approach with the Mix further, Xiaomi has launched the Mi 6 with a standard  5.15-inch, 1080px resolution LCD display.

The Xiaomi Mi 6 has been announced in two variants, one for RMB 2499 ( Rs. 23445 approx) which will launch in India for Rs. 26999 although the company is trying to ensure they can sell for Rs. 25999. The Ceramic variant which costs RMB 2999 (Rs. 28153 approx) will not come to India.

The new Xiaomi Mi 6  integrates four-sided 3D curved glass and a stainless steel frame for an impressive build, along with splash resistance, a first for a “flagship killer”.

The cameras also have 4 axis optical image stabilisation.

The ceramic variant of the Mi 6 does offer up 128GB storage for now the phone has been launched in Black, White, Blue and Silver, and Ceramic with 18-karat gold camera rims.

Jio Dhan Dhana Dhan Offer Launched:

Reliance Jio Revives Summer Surprise Offer

HIGHLIGHTS

• Reliance Jio Dhan Dhana Dhan offer provides 3 months of free services
• Tariffs for the new Jio Dhan Dhana Dhan offer are Rs. 309 and Rs. 509
• Non-Jio Prime users can also avail the benefits of the new offer

After cancelling the Jio Summer Surprise offer due to a TRAI recommendation, Reliance Jio has brought it back to life as the new Jio Dhan Dhana Dhan offer. With the new promotional offer, Jio users will be able to avail free services – including unlimited data, free SMSs, and Jio apps subscription – for three months. Under the Jio Dhan Dhana Dhan offer, the Rs. 309 and Rs. 509 recharge packs will provide 1GB and 2GB of 4G data per day, respectively.

Jio Dhan Dhana Dhan offer

The Jio Dhan Dhana Dhan offer is aimed at customers who were unable to avail the Jio Summer Surprise offerbenefits before it was pulled officially, as well as new customers. In order to get the benefits of the new offer, users need to subscribe to Jio Primemembership plan. Those who are already part of the Jio Summer Surprise promotion will not get the benefits of Jio Dhan Dhana Dhan offer.

Jio Prime users will be able to get the free Reliance Jio services for three months with the Rs. 309 and Rs. 509 recharges. Customers who are yet to sign up for Jio Prime or who are new users will have to buy the Rs. 408 (Rs. 99 Jio Prime subscription + Rs. 309 pack) or Rs. 608 (Rs. 99 + Rs. 509) recharge in order to get the free services for three cycles of 28 days. Once you buy the recharge, you get the free Reliance Jio services for 84 days (3 x 28 days). The tariffs are only marginally more expensive than the original recharge values of Rs. 303 and Rs. 499 for the 1GB and 2GB data benefits, respectively.

The Jio.com website and MyJio app show that the actual tariffs for the Rs. 309 and Rs. 509 recharge are Rs. 349 and Rs. 549, but the operator is giving a Rs. 40 discount at present. Reliance Jio has not announced whether there is a last date to sign up for Jio Dhan Dhana Dhan offer.

With the Jio Summer Surprise offer, customers get free services till July, after which their recharge of Rs. 303 or higher value kicks in. Reliance Jio has not yet clarified whether the Rs. 309 or Rs. 509 pack they paid for comes into effect in July with the Jio Dhan Dhana Dhan offer as well, though that is likely to be the case.

One major difference between the Jio Dhan Dhana Dhan offer and the summer offer is that customers had the option to buy recharges of Rs. 999 or higher values - which provided no daily FUP - with the latter, but there is not such option with the former.

Reliance Jio promised to withdraw the Jio Summer Surprise offer after the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) said that it should be pulled as it does not comply with the existing regulatory framework. The country's youngest telco on Thursday agreed to cancel the offer, but continue enrollments till four days later. However, with the Jio Dhan Dhana Dhan offer, customers will be able to continue enjoying the free services till June, the same as those of Jio Summer Surprise offer users.

Jio settop box images leaked online

after making a dent in the telecom sector, it seems Jio now has its eyes set on the DTH services in the country as images of Jio’s Set Top Box (STB) have surfaced online.

A couple of images of Jio’s STB have leaked online. This STB is rectangle in shape and black in color. At the front, Jio has provided a USB port so that users can plug-in their USB drives. At the back, there are various connectivity ports like HDMI port, RJ-45 port, USB port and a cable-in port. The device is seemingly made in Indonesia and manufactured by Samindo Electronics. You can also see the audio-video cables being attached at the back of the STB.

 

Reliance Jio Users to Get 2GB Data per Day With Rs. 499 Plan on Enrolling for Jio Prime Membership Before April 16

Reliance Jio recently announced the Jio Summer Surprise plan, which will extend the free 4G services for another three months. At the time of the announcement, Jio did not reveal the detailed tariff schemes. Instead, it said that the users who recharge with Rs. 303 plan or above will get additional three months of free 4G services.

Yesterday, Jio updated their website with the new Summer Surprise pack details giving us some insights about the same. And there’s a surprise here. As per the announcement, users will get only 1GB data per day under the new Summer offer. But that applies only to customers who recharge with the Rs. 303 plan. Jio, in its press statement, said that the summer plan would be applicable only with the recharges of above Rs. 303.

Users who recharge with the Rs. 499 plan will be rewarded with 2GB data per day, which is same as the previous plan. We have approached Jio customer care, and they have also confirmed the same. That said, users can get 2GB of 4G data daily for free for four months at just Rs. 598, which is way better than other telecom operators offers. The Summer plan will conclude on June 30 after which; the paid recharge plan will be applicable.

At the same time, there’s some confusion for users who have already recharged with the Rs. 149 plan. For those customers to enjoy the free benefits for another three months, they will have to either recharge with the Rs. 303 or Rs. 499 plan before April 15.

For instance, if a customer recharges with two tariff plans of Rs. 149 and Rs. 499 or Rs. 303 and Rs. 499, benefits of the highest plan would be applied for the first three months and post the free offer period, benefits of the first recharge pack will be applicable, i.e., from July 1 to July 28.

Do make a note that the summer offer plans will be effective from April 16 and till then; users can enjoy the same Jio Happy New Plan benefits of 1GB data per day and unlimited voice calls.

Jio also stated that the international roaming tariff plans would be rolled out on April 15. Another important point to be noted is that there won’t be any unlimited data offers during night hours, i.e., from 2 AM to 5 AM. And, the last date for unlimited night data will end on April 15.

Other data plans such as Rs. 51 and Rs. 301 will continue to offer the same benefits as earlier. Which plan will you enroll now?
