The display covers almost the entire front surface and does not even leave a place for the home button and capacitive keys. The screen subtly curves at the either sides making the Galaxy S8 look more premium than ever.

You Need To Know These Two Hidden Conditions Before Subscribing To Jio Prime

March 03, 2017

•

Latest News

Reliance Jio Prime subscriptions are now live, allowing existing Jio customers to avail some very good benefits compared to normal Jio plans. As a goodwill gesture, Jio has extended the Jio Prime benefits as an option to its 100 million customers for helping the company test its network. However, while checking the details of Jio Prime offer, we have stumbled upon a couple of big changes in Jio’s Terms and Conditions.

A few days ago, Jio announced that it would commence commercial operations from April 1st. As a part of this announcement, Jio revealed several plans and offers. The company promised that it would always strive to deliver at least 20% more benefits to its customers compared to the competition.

We were also one of the first publications to reveal the detailed Jio Prime plans, data limits, plan prices and more. Today, we bring you another important piece of information before everyone else.

Jio Prime Hidden Conditions

You would remember that when Jio first introduced daily fair usage limits in the form of Jio Welcome Offer, the company announced Happy Hours. These Happy Hours would allow you to download at full 4G speeds without any limit, from 2 to 5 AM every day. These Happy Hours were also present in the Jio Happy New Year offer that expires on March 31st, 2017.

No Happy Hours Unlimited Downloads For Jio Prime

However, one thing that Reliance Jio did not mention is that Happy Hours would be discontinued. What this means is that you will no longer be able to download unlimited during 2 to 5 AM every day. Any downloads made in this period will be counted normally against your data allowance and daily fair usage limits, if applicable.

Minimum Rs. 149 Recharge Mandatory For 12 Months

One more thing that Reliance Jio should have clarified publicly is that you must spend a minimum of Rs. 149 per month after subscribing to Jio Prime. Not doing can lead to the deactivation of your Jio Prime subscription. You would also lose all Jio Prime benefits as a result.

For example, if you subscribe to Jio Prime by paying Rs. 99, but do not recharge with one of the several Jio plans, Reliance Jio reserves the right to deactivate your Prime subscription.

This condition will be applicable for all the 12 months of the subscription. Missing any single month, whether at the beginning, in between or at the end, can lead to the deactivation of your Prime subscription.

Share this information with your friends to spread awareness about Jio Prime’s hidden conditions.

Xiaomi Unveils In-house Surge S1 SoC with Mali T860 GPU & 4G VoLTE Support

Latest News

Xiaomi is long-rumored to come up with its in-house processors to bring the price of its affordable smartphones even cheaper. In 2015, the company collaborated with Leadcore to launch the Redmi 2A smartphone with LC1860 SoC. The Redmi 2A was one of the most affordable 4G LTE smartphones that time. In the last few months, the leaks revealed the Xiaomi’s in-house processor to be named PineCone when its social media accounts went live. Finally, today the company has officially announced its in-house PineCone processors by unveiling the first-gen Surge S1 SoC. Xiaomi also launched the Mi 5C smartphone, the first ever smartphone to use the PineCone processor.

Earlier to Xiaomi, only Samsung, Huawei, and Apple have their own smartphone processors. The Surge S1 SoC comes with big.LITTLE design packing eight Cortex-A53 cores where four cores are clocked at 2.2GHz and the other cores are limited to 1.4GHz. This particular processor is built on TSMC’s 28nm HPC (high performance computing) process. It also packs Mali-T860 GPU which 40% power efficient than its predecessor, Mali-T760 GPU. The 32-bit Digital Signal Processor (DSP) on the Surge S1 is said to support HD calls via VoLTE connection and dual microphone noise reduction which we see on most of the recent smartphones.

It also includes 14-bit dual Image Signal Processors (ISP) will enhance the image processor capabilities. The Surge S1 supports single frame HDR with improved dynamic range. The modem on the SoC is said to compatible with OTA upgrades.Talking about the security, the Surge S1 with the TEE architecture makes its compliance with safety regulations. Coming to the comparisons, the Xiaomi places Surge S1 on the lines of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 625 and MediaTek’s Helio P10 processors. On Geekbench benchmark test, the Surge S1 with a score of 3,399 crossed both the Snapdragon 625 and Helio P10. It came close to the newly announced Helio P20 SoC. While there is no confirmation, as of now, we think the PineCone processors to be exclusive to the Chinese market.

Snapchat Is Thinking To Do Something Brilliant Find out here !

Latest News

Snap Inc's in-demand shares were set to rally on their first day of trading in New York on Thursday, after the owner of the popular Snapchat messaging app raised $3.4 billion in its initial public offering (IPO), above its price expectations.

Early indications pointed to the shares opening up at between $22 and $24, after the IPO priced on Wednesday at $17 per share. The IPO book was oversubscribed by more than 10 times, boosting the chances of a pop on the first day of trading.

The New York Stock Exchange carried out a trial run last week to make sure the third-biggest technology IPO ever goes smoothly.

Facebook Inc's eagerly awaited market debut in 2012 was marred by a technical glitch at rival exchange Nasdaq.

After pricing its IPO at $17 a share, the owner of the popular disappearing-message app has a market value of roughly $24 billion, more than double the size of rivalTwitter Inc and the richest valuation in a U.S. tech IPO since Facebook five years ago.

Snap co-founder Evan Spiegel, who last night earned $272 million on the offering, showed up to the floor of the exchange in a suit and tie to ring the bell that marks the first day of trading, before leaving the building to watch festivities away from the spotlight he famously eschews.

Bookrunners on the deal completed allocating shares to the IPO buyers shortly after the start of trading on the NYSE, according to a capital markets source familiar with transaction. That clears the way for Goldman Sachs Group Inc, which is overseeing the stock's open as its stabilization agent, to allow it to start trading on the NYSE.

As stabilization agent, Goldman Sachs manages Snap's price setting and the additional allocation of shares to underwriters.

The IPO is the first test of investor appetite for a social-media app that is beloved by teenagers and people under 30 for applying bunny faces and vomiting rainbows onto selfies, but has yet to convert "cool" into cash.

Despite a nearly seven-fold increase in revenue, the Los Angeles-based company's net loss widened 38 percent last year. It faces intense competition from larger rivals such as Facebook's Instagram as it grapples with decelerating user growth.


Snap priced 200 million shares on Wednesday above its expected range of $14 to $16 dollars a share.

The sale was well timed, as investors look for fresh opportunities after 2016 marked the slowest year for tech IPOs since 2008. The launch could encourage debuts by other so-called unicorns, tech startups with private valuations of $1 billion or more.

Investors bought the shares despite them having no voting power, an unprecedented feature for an IPO at odds with rising concerns about corporate governance over the past few years from fund managers looking to gain influence over executives.

Although Snap is going public at a much earlier stage in its development than Twitter or Facebook, the five-year-old company is valuing itself at nearly 60 times revenue, more than double the 27 times revenue Facebook fetched in its IPO.

To justify its relatively high valuation and fend off concerns about slowing user growth, Snap has emphasized how important Snapchat is to its users, how long they spend on the app and the revenue potential of the emerging trend for young people to communicate with video rather than text.

Snap is set to begin trading on Thursday on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol SNAP.

You can subscribe to Jio Prime membership from 1 March onwards. Under this, you can choose from different tariff plans. Mukesh Ambani had announced only one plan of Rs. 303 per month during the announcement.

The total 4G data limit is restricted to 28 GB for 28 days. There is no limit on number of SMSs that can be sent on this plan.

Another interesting plan is the Rs. 499 plan. It is valid for 28 days and comes with a daily FUP of 2GB and beyond that, the user will get reduced speeds. There is no limit on the total data that can be used but users will find it difficult to browse after crossing their daily FUP limit.

Paytm Launches Paytm Mall, An Online Marketplace App

March 01, 2017

•

Latest News

After achieving such a huge success,Paytm has introduced its new e-Commerce service app called Paytm Mall. According to Paytm it crossed approx. 200 million users. Although Paytm previously offered online shopping facility on its main app but now it has got a separate dedicated app called Paytm Mall for all the e-Commerce services. It is currently available for Android and Web only and iOS app will be available shortly.

Talking about the app, it’s more like the Paytm main app with almost no difference. It offers four sections which are Home, Bazar, Login, and Updates. The home section takes you to all the basic categories of the app like Mobiles & Accessories, Electronics, Clothing, etc with all the Fresh arrival items. Whereas the Bazar section will take you to the categories like Men’s clothing, women’s clothing, watches, chappals etc with deals of the day going on on the app. Login section takes you to the login page and Update section keeps you updated.

From now onwards, Paytm Mall will be a dedicated shopping app from Paytm. This app also offers several cash-back offers which are credited to your wallet. While Paytm Mall is a dedicated e-commerce service, Paytm main app will continue to offer the regular services including buying, booking and payments. Paytm Mall app will soon come in seven regional languages. The platform is starting with over 17 centres across the country and will be providing service with the help of 40 courier partners.

One thing worth noting here is that Paytm Mall is an also a part of One97 Communications and Alibaba owns more than 40 % stake of it. The new platform seems to be inspired by Alibaba’s T-Mall which is one of the biggest e-commerce services in China and is also a part of Alibaba. This new platform of Paytm seems to be a tough competitor to the already existing e-Commerce sites like Snapdeal, Flipkart, Amazon, etc.

Saurabh Vashishtha, the Vice President of Paytm said “Through Paytm Mall, our aim is to offer consumers the most trusted shopping experience. We have defined quality criteria for sellers and are building strict controls over warehousing and shipping for products sold on Paytm Mall. Consumers would continue to get the largest assortment of domestic and international products through Paytm Bazaar, which will also be featured on the new app,”
