Reliance Jio to launch World's cheapest VoLTE phones

Reliance Jio has gained immense popularity within just months of its launch, and one of the most important reasons for the same are its LYF smartphones, which offer VoLTE support for as low as Rs 3,000. However, in a bid to reach more consumers, the operator might be launching even more affordable 4G VoLTE-capable offerings. Interestingly, while the previous rumours have indicated that Jio might be introducing feature phones under the LYF Easy moniker, as per new reports, the phones will be Android-powered. However, the difference would be that these handsets won’t have a touchscreen, and would offer numeric keypads instead… similar to feature phones.

Initially, two phones would be launched between January to March next year, priced affordably at Rs 1,000 and 1,500 – making them the world’s cheapest phones with 4G VoLTE compatibility. Reliance Jio is reportedly partnering with Indian phone maker Lava and China’s Transsion which operates under the Itel brand for manufacturing these devices. The VoLTE capabilities in the phones would be added by sourcing chipsets from Spreadtrum, although the company is also in talks with Qualcomm and MediaTek. The report further suggests that Mukesh Ambani-owned Jio would be subsidising the manufacturing cost, as the phones would cost around Rs 2,500 to make. They are likely to be launched between January and March next year.
While the specs of the phones aren't revealed, the report claims that they'll sport cameras at the back as well as the front. Along with offering fast 4G access, consumers would also be able to use the devices to enjoy unlimited voice and video calls for a lifetime. It must be noted that Reliance Jio is the only telco to support VoLTE calls, though Airtel is also planning to launch this capability soon. Buyers would also get a free subscription to Jio’s app suitewhich includes apps such as JioMusic, JioCinema, JioMags, etc.

Reliance Jio has become the fastest telecom operator in the world to reach 16 million users. This move will surely help it to target rural areas and tier-III cities and meet its ambitious goal of 100 million subscribers in the shortest time possible.

The Silent Tears

the door slammed, pain is about to come, another tattoo of bruises is now to stain. his fist her face, his kick her abdomen, his abuse her ears. scared and alone she could only weep, tells  her secrets to pillows while asleep. even though she accepted him, loved him to infinite. Because society taught her- to cage herself and call that protection, to survive the violence and call that acceptance. to accept what he gave and call that love. to spread her legs but not her wings. #stopwomanviolence

Atrophy

In the midst of flowers, Stands its heir. Trading them for few bucks, Desolated and detached. Festive week, season of love. Essence of romance all over, There she lies adorning someone's love with red roses. adding spark to people's love, instead keeping her own in dark. There she lies Lost and lonely, Flowers be her only companion. whose petals she holds and essence she breaths. she wants to blossom again, But she fears. She fears to be tugged again. There she lies like a flower, beautiful & adorable. But lifeless. Like a flower which is stepped, Worthy not enough to be picked.

TRAPPED - The Anxiety (Part 4)

Just like any other day, it was a busy day at the office. Basu was busy working on his desktop. But side by side, he was constantly checking his account. He was desperately waiting for a notification. But couldn't get any. Niyati was online but she didn't text him. Just by texting her first, Basu didn't want Niyati to catch his intension of a conversation. So ,just to make his presence felt, he liked a random photo of  Niyati and even commented on it. Finally, his wait was over.Niyati replied. "So, any specific reason to stay single?",asked Niyati. The more he tried to avoid this question, the more Niyati was after him. So Basu finally decided to answer and end this. He started typing. "Niyati, when I see relationships scattered around, I get scared. I fear that I might breakdown if I become the victim of it. I have seen years of relationship end in a blink of an eye.Yes, I agree it does not happen to everyone. But I fear that I might be the one. ...
