In a major move, calls made to other mobile operators will be charged at the normal IUC rate of 6 paise per minute through IUC top-up vouchers. The company has also introduced top-up vouchers as per the customer’s requirement.
The special top-up vouchers start at Rs 10 and go all the way to Rs 100. The vouchers have been launched specially for the Reliance Jio prepaid as well as for the postpaid users in which the call will be charged at 6 paise per minute to other operators such as Bharti Airtel, Vodafone Idea, BSNL, MTNL and others.

Additionally, the will also get free data of up to 2GB, 5GB and 10GB respectively.
The same is applicable to Reliance Jio post-paid users also they will be charged at 6 paise per minute. However, the free data will be credited to their accounts as per the number of minutes they used as per the prepaid paid plans.
“So, for all recharges done by Jio customers starting today, calls made to other mobile operators will be charged at the prevailing IUC rate of 6 paise per minute through IUC top-up vouchers till such time that TRAI moves to Zero termination charge regime. Presently, this date is 1st January 2020.”
The 6 paise per minute charge does not apply on Jio to Jio calls, all incoming calls, Jio to landline calls as well as calls made using WhatsApp or FaceTime and similar platforms.
“Jio again assures its 35 crore customers that the 6paise per minute charge on outgoing off-net mobile calls shall continue only till the time TRAI abolishes IUC, in line with its present regulation. We will share all data with TRAI to convince that zero IUC regime is in the best interest of consumers and how the huge number of missed calls is creating the wrong perception of asymmetric traffic.”
As we already know that Alexa now also understands the Hindi language other than English. Amazon’s Voice Assistant service allows you to play your favourite music, weather and cricket updates in Hindi.

From today all the Alexa devices will have a new multilingual mode. Earlier the users were asked to change the preferred language from the device language settings. Now you can talk to Alexa in Both Hindi as well as in English at the same time. For instance, if you ask Alexa about the festival of Diwali in Hindi, Alexa will reply in Hindi, e.g. “Alexa, Diwali ke liye kitne din bache hai?” and when you ask for any information in English Alexa will understand and respond in English e.g. “Alexa, why is Diwali celebrated”.
The new feature will be helpful to those households where users speak both Hindi and English language.
“You can ask Alexa to answer questions, play music, read the news, set timers and alarms, check the calendar, provide sports scores, control lights at home, use over 30,000 English skills and much more.

Get started with commands such as “Alexa, Bollywood ke latest gane sunao”, “Alexa, cricket score batao”, “Alexa, sher ki aawaaz sunao”, or “Alexa, apne baare mei batao”.”
How to set up Alexa’s multi-lingual mode
To set up Alexa’s multi-lingual mode the existing users can change their device’s preferred language to either English or Hindi through the Language options within the device settings. This option is available on the latest version of the Alexa app.
The Echo Show and Echo Spot device users can access the settings option by swiping down from the top of the screen and then change the language. But before setting the language you are suggested to download the latest software update by asking “Alexa, check for software updates”
Apart from that, you can also ask Alexa how to set up multilingual mode if you are not able to change the language of the device settings.

But if you need a phone with better optics also the battery is not an issue then you can opt Motorola E6S.
Well, this has been one of the focus points for Apple since quite some time. AR is a big deal for the Cupertino based company and them innovating something big in the augmented reality circuit will be huge. Rumours had been rife that Apple will launch its AR headset sometime in 2020, but now reports have emerged that we can see an AR headset by Apple as early as the second quarter of 2020.
A report was tipped by the main chassis supplier that has sparked all this and we might see the headset coming to life at Apple WWDC 2019. Which is a hot-cold situation if you ask us. Since at WWDC Apple only talks about apps and operating systems. However, this could be a first in a move that they will showcase a hardware product at the event or at least talk about it. There have been several reports and leaks in the past, which have spoken about the upcoming Apple AR headsets.
Some of them showcased really futuristic designs, however, latest on the rumour mill does say that we can see something like a Google Glass, but more like spectacles and not just a frame with a small screen on the side. If all this is true then the consumers are in for a treat with Apple AR Headset. As this will revolutionise not just the consumer market, but also the retail market. For example, a consumer shopping for clothes online or offline does not need to step into the store, left alone the changing room.
With the help of the Apple AR headset, one can see themselves wearing the piece of apparel. Same is the case with furniture, you can just pick and place the sofa in your room before buying. Gaming will be another big aspect of the headsets. Features of the headset will include the screen only system on the glasses. The rest will be taken up the iPhone smartphone or the iPad. Which means for processing and storage the Apple AR headset might use the A13 Bionic or previous chipset on the Apple iPhone. And we all have seen how powerful the last two generations of the Bionic chipsets are.

The Chinese premium smartphone brand OnePlus recently took the wraps off from OnePlus 7T. Now the company is gearing up to launch another new smartphone. On October 10 the company will launch the upgraded variant of OnePlus 7T at a launch event to be hosted in London. Alongside the OnePlus 7T Pro variant the company will also launch a new McLaren Edition at the event.
As we already know last year the company launched the McLaren Edition of the OnePlus 6T, too. In the latest development, the company’s CEO Pete Lau posted an image of the packaging of the special edition of OnePlus 7T Pro on Twitter. It displays a carbon fiber finish box and an orange stripe at the end of the box. The device is also expected to be introduced on October 10’s launch event which is going to be held in London. One of the Youtuber Marques Brownlee enquired the CEO about the special edition to which he responded in affirmative “incoming”. However, he did not confirm that the McLaren Edition will come to OnePlus 7T or OnePlus 7T Pro.
Other leaks and rumours also suggest that OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Edition will be launched at the London event. Besides this McLaren who is a British car manufacturer too talked about its collaboration with OnePlus while sharing an image of OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition which was launched last year.
Last month an image also surfaced on the web about the speculated smartphone. As per a report by 91Mobiles OnePlus 7T Pro will look exactly like OnePlus 7T but the McLaren Edition will arrive with few changes in the design.

All the above specifications are based on rumours and leaks so we would suggest you take it with a pinch of salt.

Let me begin by saying that Samsung went all the way in designing, software integrating and bringing a whole new side of the S-pen with the new Galaxy Note 10 Plus. We have been using the device since a month now and we came across a ton of stuff, which even this comprehensive review is small for. There is much to talk about the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus, so let’s get to it. This is our review of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus uncensored and uncut.
In This Article
Design and Display
As soon as you rip the plastics, split the box open (where this beauty lies) you get to see a luxurious smartphone that will tenderly ask for attention. And within minutes you will magically fall in love with it. A super-large 6.8-inch touchscreen is at your beck and call that merges into the side rails smoothly. There are no rough edges on this smartphone and one gets to experience an exceptional glass design on front and back. The infinity-o design is wonderful to look at and the edge to edge screen experience with just a small dot camera on the front is a design wonder. There is almost no chin on the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus and what you get is a full-screen experience.
So, let’s get the form factor quickly out of the way before I talk more about the display. Upfront the boxy design works for me, however, I have had mixed reactions from the audiences who saw it. Most loved it, but there were some who were neutral to it and some who found the Samsung Galaxy S10 to be more attractive, mostly the under 20 generation. The right side of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus is plain while the left side holds the power button as well as the volume rocker keys. The bottom has the primary microphone, the USB Type-C charging port as well as the speaker grill. But here lies another gem, the all-new S-pen. Will talk about it more in the performance section of this review.
The top part of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plushas the secondary microphone along with the NANO SIM tray. Turn it around and you see this neat aura glow back panel that has been inspired by the rays of light. Which is why you get to see a rainbow-like VIBGYOR effect on it. Here you can see the Samsung branding and yes, the version of Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus selling here is manufactured in India as well. Which means you do not get a Snapdragon (SD) but an Exynos CPU here, is it better or worse than SD? Read the performance section to know more.
Also, on the back panel, you will find the vertically placed camera bump with silver trim. This houses three cameras in it with the fourth one and the LED flash placed neatly by its side. This sums up the nifty design, let’s come back to its display. For both work and pleasure, we found the screen to be perfect. Working with the S-pen to take notes, juggle between pages and apps on it was a treat. The text on the screen is crisp and the colours are vibrant. The brightness is just great and the screen does not wash out under the sun.
We played a lot of games and videos on the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus and the screen never stuttered. The smaller-than-usual punch-hole front camera also did not hinder the gaming and video experience on this smartphone. The screen is easy on the eyes, in day or night. We kept throwing doozies at it and the device kept hitting it out of the park. What a wonderful experience this smartphone is. So, like usual we gave it the stress test to see if it would heat up or the battery might die quicker than usual.
Performance and Cameras
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus is not just a beauty on the outside, but has the brains to go with it on the inside. It is a machine crafted to do your daily tedious jobs and much more without breaking a sweat. Since we are reviewing the Indian version of the smartphone this one comes with Exynos 9 series (9825) Octa-Core CPU with a clock speed of up to 2.7GHz. This kicks in when the phone requires that much power, otherwise to conserve battery life the smartphone works at an optimal 1.9GHz with fewer cores active.
With it, Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus comes with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage (out of which about 12GB is reserved for the operating system and other files). Graphics are provided by Mali G76 MP12 chip, which is one of the best in class. We played a lot of graphic hungry games on the device like PUBG mobile and Asphalt 9: Legends at the highest settings and the smartphone didn’t shy away from putting its best foot forward. To put it simply, it was a delight to play video games on it. Same is the case when it comes to videos. No matter what you are watching, the latest series on Netflix or FHD videos on YouTube, Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus supplies superior colours and deeper blacks. These are accompanied with a very loudspeaker system, but the sound gets better with the supplied AKG earplugs, which come in the box.
We ran our usual set of tests on it. On AnTuTu the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus scored a fiery 3,46,631 points. On Geekbench 5 the device managed 627 on single-core test and 2,185 on the multi-core test. The compute score on Geekbench 5 came out to be 4,644. All of it indicates top-class performance.
As for the operating system, the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus comes with Android 9 Pie OS out of the box with Samsung One UI on top. The operating system has minimal bloatware and some good to great apps. For example, you get multiple mail apps as well as Netflix, which means even Samsung wants you to work and play on this device. There is an edge screen (called Apps Edge) on the UI as well, which can be swiped in from the right. This hides most commonly used apps. Users can even customise this panel according to their own preference. Rest, most of the UI things are very similar to a stock android. Like you do get an App drawer, quick settings come down from top and one can even use gesture controls to manage functions like going back, going to the home screen and launching recently opened apps.
Now let’s talk about its most innovative feature of this smartphone, its S-pen. The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus comes with a new improved version of the S-pen that can do a lot. Users can from afar manage the phone with the S-pen. One can perform things like switching between cameras, swapping between modes and even clicking pictures with it from a distance. Think of it as a remote control for your mobile. The S-pen gets charged on its own as soon as you put it back in its holding position within the phone. One can get up to 10 hours of battery life with it. Not that you will run out of it anytime soon, as in most cases you will keep it within the smartphone. Handwriting recognition is also part of the package and even handwriting like mine is easily recognised by the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus. One thing we love about the new S-pen is its pressure sensitivity and also the fact that if one of the nibs of the stylus goes bad you can easily replace it, as Samsung is kind enough to supply with few additional ones in the container.
With the S-pen you can do additional tasks as well. You can even increase or decrease the volume of the smartphone remotely. Over that, for quick memos, you can write on the screen when it is in standby mode as well. So, you do not need to bring up notes if you want to take fast notes. Also, with the S-pen you can add funky animations and more to your videos and they will stick to it. In fact, the same can be done in AR (augmented reality) mode too. Yes, that is a lot to grasp about the S-pen and with so many days with the device we are still exploring something new every day.
Coming to its camera performance, the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus has 4 cameras at the back. A 12MP telephoto camera, 12MP wide-angle sensor, a 16MP ultra-wide cam and the last is the depth vision sensor. Some might say 12MP is so yesterday, however here the optics and pro-grade sensor technology does a wonderful job. No matter what external conditions you are in. We were able to get some fabulous shots during the day and even in low light. The subjects were sharp and the colours very close to life. In some cases, even vibrant. But what we loved shooting with the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus are the videos. These are exceptional and with the Zoom mic capability, which we first thought to be a gimmick, it actually works in 9 out of 10 scenarios. Unless you are in a super noisy road in Chandni Chownk, being the 10th one. A lot of good modes can be found in the camera app and it is appt for amateur to pro photographers.
Night photography is another good aspect of the rear cams, we were able to extract some great shots. Most of them with the Tripod, because we said why not, since We have the S-pen which works as a remote control, let’s get the best shots possible. Without it too, we managed some decent shots, but if you have super shaky hands, we would suggest using a tripod at night. Edges were smooth and night portraits were good. Only the far-off objects lost a bit of detail and colour during late evenings.
The front camera is powered by a 10MP selfie sensor. A single camera is there, but that is enough to take good daylight shots. Night shots not so much. So, if you are a selfie lover who wants the best shots round the clock, you are better off with the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus.
Lastly let us put in a word about its battery. The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus comes with a 4,300 mAh battery inside. We knew it would last for a whole day with good amount of usage and doing daily tasks. However, to our amazement, it did last for more than a day. 32.5 hours to be exact which included an hour of gaming and 25 minutes of navigation. An hour of S-pen usage and lot of phone calls was included too. Not bad at all Samsung, not bad at all.
Verdict and Final Words
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus comes with a price tag of Rs 79,990 and it is almost a perfect buy, and is definitely an Android trailblazer in the group of Flagships. The in-display fingerprint reader works nicely (mostly) and so does the face unlock system. It does a fabulous job with the screen, S-pen and video capabilities. AR is there and am sure will become better with time, but at the moment most will not use it. Bixby, I am still not a big fan of, however Google Assistant does most of the cool AI jobs when needed. Gaming and videos are another great aspect of the device. So, who should buy it? Well, if you want a large screen experience with good cameras, want to make great videos and content or want rock-solid security for your business needs this is the smartphone for you. Note 10 plus has something for everybody.

Recently Tesla rolled out OTA update for its self-driven vehicles. Version 10.0 comes with features like Netflix YouTube or Hulu or iQiyi as well as Tencent Video. Now Tesla cars will soon be offering a selection of sounds so that you can customise your car’s horn and movement sounds. The news has been shared by Elon Musk via Twitter.
Elon Musk took to Twitter to reveal that soon Tesla cars will allow the users to customise horn and movement sounds. The Tweet reads, “Customized horn & movement sounds (coconuts being one, of course) coming to Teslas soon.”
He also teased goat bleats, rushing wind and even the coconut horse clops from the movies Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The specific sounds and horns will be used to alert the pedestrians on the roads.
As per a report by Teslarati the customisation of the sounds in the initial stage would be coconut noise, a whoopie cushion noise (made famous by Tesla’s “Toilet Humor” mode) and assumably a goat noise.
Musk also revealed that the company is working on to include custom audio files, so owners would be able to include any noise they want. The report says, “the addition of noisemakers to electric vehicles is expected to save an estimated 2,400 people from injuries, as well as save somewhere in between $250M and $320M in damages from accidents.”
The decision to add the noisemakers in the Tesla cars is in response to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration‘s (NHTSA) Pedestrian Enhancement Safety Act of 2010. The act is based on a report that mentions that blind pedestrians are the ones who are most prone to additional risks when in the same vicinity as electric vehicles due to their lack of noise.
When traveling at low speed the electric cars make less or no noise at all as it does not have any engines, transmissions or tailpipes that produce sound. “The act passed by the NHTSA requires all-electric cars to contain noisemakers that will emit noise when the vehicle is traveling from 0-19 MPH. All cars operating with strict batteries will have to contain this noisemaker by September 1, 2020.”
