BSNL Might Launch 4G Services Around Independence Day: Check Details Here

Even though private telecom players are conducting 5G trials in India, BSNL is trying its best to start 4G services before the end of this year. The state-run telecom operator has not announced anything on the same front, but several reports claim that BSNL’s 4G services will launch 4G services on Independence Day 2022.

BSNL And TCS Partnership For 4G Services

It is worth noting that the state-run telecom operator is joining hands with TCS to launch or to start its 4G services in the country. “BSNL will introduce 4G services with Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) as its technology partner. It will be for the first time that Indian technology will be used for 4G services,” Sushil Kumar Mishra, consumer mobility director at BSNL was quoted by TOI.

He said that initially, services will be available in Delhi and Mumbai. In addition, he informed that the telecom operator is going to set up 1,00,00 towers in the country. “Instead of smart towers, BSNL will begin with monopoles, which are less expensive and more effective,” he added will install 40,000 telecom towers in Bihar.

However, it is worth noting that this is not the first time when reports regarding BSNL services are surfacing online as ET has also reported earlier the same. The report also hinted at the same and said that the company will launch 4G services in August this year.

This is not the first time we heard that the company is launching its 4G services and this comes at that time when 5G trials are going on and Vodafone-Idea, Airtel, and Reliance Jio are expected to launch services soon.

The state-run telecom operator is expected to provide 4G services this year; however, the services might be outdated as other private telecom operators providing the same services for so many years.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S8’s Retail Box To Come Void Of Charging Brick: A Wise Move?

Samsung at its Galaxy Unpacked 2022 event not just introduced the flagship Galaxy S22 series but also the premium Galaxy Tab S8 tablet. The South Korean giant is now gearing up for both these product lineup’s launch in India. The rumor mill has already started sharing insights into the expected pricing and expected timeline of the upcoming Galaxy S22 series and Galaxy Tab S8 in the country.

The latter is currently available for pre-orders in the international markets with the first sale just a few days away. Meanwhile, the box contents of the flagship Galaxy Tab S8 have surfaced suggesting missing power brick. Take a look at the details:

Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Retail Box Won’t Ship With Charging Adapter

The latest flagship Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 series’ retail box content won’t include the power adapter. This information comes via a new tweet shared by The Verge’s Dan Seifert. The premium range tablet series has been announced this month itself and is yet to be made available for purchase across the globe including India.

Samsung had adopted this strategy first with the previous-gen Galaxy S21 smartphone series. It seems the same is being expanded to the company’s tablet segment as well with the Galaxy Tab S8 series. The reports also suggest that Samsung’s official US website listing of the Galaxy Tab S8 series’ “What’s in the box” section confirms the missing charger. The listing only mentions the Sim ejector tool along with S Pen and the main unit.

We can’t say for sure why exactly Samsung decided to exclude the charging brick from the Tab S8’s retail boxes. That could be one of the business strategies to expand its smartphone and tablets accessories. However, an added accessory that costs extra bucks might come to be a bummer for some users. That’s also considering the high-end Apple iPad models still retail with a charging adapter.

But this trend of missing accessories isn’t something new. It’s a rather old concept that seems to be eventually picking up pace in the modern market. Likewise, the earphones (audio accessories) which not most of the brands have stopped shipping with the smartphones, power brick seems to be the next.

Samsung recently concluded the Galaxy Unpacked 2022 event where the brand introduced its new-generation flagship smartphone lineup, i.e, the Galaxy S22. Within just a week the, the South Korean tech giant has teased its next important product for the audience which is likely being showcased at the Mobile World Congress 2022 event being hosted in Barcelona towards the end of this month.

The upcoming device from Samsung’s bucket is rumored to the be Galaxy Book Pro 360 2 laptop. While the rumor mill is still churning out the details, we at Giznext have managed to grab the exclusive render images and few other details of the upcoming Galaxy series laptop. Check out the details below:

Galaxy Book Pro 2 360 Exclusive Render Images Are Here

As mentioned above, Giznext has received exclusive Galaxy Book Pro 2 360 render images ahead of its anticipated unveiling at the Mobile World Congress 2022 event later this month. The factory schematics of the upcoming 360-degree rotatable laptop shared by an industry source show the burgundy red color variant.

However, this color option is just speculation and the laptop might be announced with some different color options. According to Giznext’s source, the Galaxy Book Pro 2 360 has the codename “mars 2” on the factory schematics documents. This is one of the confirmations for the upcoming device to be the successor of the Galaxy Book 360 (first-gen model).

That’s considering the Galaxy Book 360 was codenamed “mars”. It is worth adding the company is yet to confirm the Galaxy Book Pro 360 moniker. However, based on the details available it seems that the brand will likely stick to the Galaxy Book Pro 2 360 moniker itself.

Coming to the design, the render images show a slightly improved design compared to the previous-gen Galaxy Book 360 laptop. The second-generation model is seen with a spacious keypad and a larger mouse trackpad which will likely improve the efficiency with typing and other creative tasks. The render images don’t show any major design changes in the display panel as well as the hinges. The bezel size remains similar to the previous-gen model.  

The Galaxy Book Pro 2 360 also retains the 360-degree foldable design as the Galaxy Book Pro 360. However, the render images we received don’t show the S-pen support. We are not sure if Samsung has planned to skip it this time. Additionally, our source suggests the upcoming laptop will feature a circa 15-inch display. As for the ports, it will offer three USB Type-C ports, one 3.5mm headphone jack, and one microSD slot.

That’s all the details we could source at this point. However, we will try to get some more updates on the hardware and its availability in the coming days.

Reliance Jio Vs Airtel Vs BSNL Vs Vi: Which Telecom Operator Offers Best Pack Under Rs. 499?

Reliance Jio, Airtel, Vi, and BSNL are very active in terms of making changes in their prepaid plans to attract customers to their services. However, this is confusing to customers as all telcos provide similar plans and benefits. Besides, private telecom operators increased the prices of all prepaid plans. This is why we are listing the benefits of all plans that come under Rs. 499.

BSNL Prepaid Plan Under Rs. 499

Let’s start with the BSNL Rs. 499 plan, where users are getting 2GB of data per day, 100 messages per day, BSNL Tune, and Zing Music app access for 90 days. This means all users will be getting 180GB of data for the entire validity.

Vodafone Idea Prepaid Plan Under Rs. 499

India’s third-largest telecom operator Vodafone-Idea offers 1.5GB of data, unlimited calling, 100 messages for 56 days. This pack also ships binge all-night data, weekend data rollover, Vi movies and TV access, and free data surfing between 12 PM to 6 PM.

Which Prepaid Pack Is Better?

It is worth noting that telecom operators are again planning to raise tariffs in the coming months as they want to increase their revenue and decrease losses. However, we expect that BSNL might not follow private telecom operators as it is planning to bring 4G services and wants to attract new customers to its platform.
