2019 brought the world of smartphones and mobile devices compatible to the rising trend of 5G networks. Reliance Jio however might be playing an entirely different game in the Indian mobile space. If rumours are to be believed, Jio is now working on a feature phone, made exclusively with one function in mind, attending and making voice calls. Sources report that the company is in the market survey stage of product development and is working on collecting opinions and reactions of retailers about this device, called the “Jio Phone lite”.
Speculations by industry experts suggest that the Jio Phone lite might not support internet connectivity and that the device will be priced below Rs 500, at a possible price of Rs 349 or 399. Rumours also suggest that Jio will launch a Rs 50 recharge plan with 28 days validity exclusively for future users of the Jio phone Lite. Here Jio to Jio calls will be free of cost and calls to other networks will be priced separately.
This feature phone is expected to have a small display with a regular alphanumeric keyboard. It is not certain if the phone will come with a camera. Other specifications of the device are not out yet. If this device is launched it will be the first device released by the company to not have internet access at all.
However, expecting a lot from a phone which might cost somewhere under Rs 500 is a fool’s ordeal. We do not know if this phone will even make it to the market, as there is no official information or announcement regarding this device or its release by Reliance Jio.
Jio recently announced the 2020 Happy New Year offer for its current customers. The limited period offer lets smartphone users avail unlimited services for a year from the operator at Rs 2020. Through this offer, customers will have access to unlimited voice calls, 1.5GB internet and can avail free SMS feature as well. Meanwhile, JioPhone users can get a JioPhone with unlimited service for a period of 12 months through the Rs 2020 offer, which gets them access to unlimited calls, daily data of 0.5GB and free SMS feature.

Samsung recently unveiled its Galaxy Watch 4G in India. While most of the specifications of the smartwatch remain identical to Samsung Galaxy Watch that was launched last year, the new and upgraded version comes with 4G connectivity. If you are planning to buy a new smartwatch, Samsung’s offering is definitely an option that you need to consider. So is Samsung Galaxy Watch 4G worth a buy? Read our review to find out:
In This Article
Samsung Galaxy Watch 4G design
The design of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4G is very identical to the vanilla variant of the smartwatch. Having said that, we really like the design of the watch. It is available in two sizes: 42mm and 46mm. Both the models of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4G come with rotating bezels that can be used for navigation. We have to say that the rotating bezel is an aspect of the design that we really liked because its presence meant that we did not have to rely on the touchscreen of the smartwatch alone each time we wished to perform a task. The device has two buttons placed on its right side. While the upper one is the back button, the one at the bottom is the Home button. The microphone of the device is located below the Home button on the right edge. The left edge, on the other hand, only has a speaker. On its back, there is the heart rate sensor.
The front of the smartwatch is subjugated by its 1.3-inch AMOLED display that protected by a layer of Corning’s Gorilla Glass DX+. We should mention that this is the screen size of the 46mm variant of the device. The smaller 42mm variant has a 1.2-inch display. The display of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4G depicted good colours and had a good level of brightness, which adjusts itself according to the ambient lighting conditions. Even the viewing angles of the display are good and the colours projected appear consistent. During our time with the watch, we had no trouble reading anything on the display, even when we used it under direct sunlight. It is worth noticing that Samsung Galaxy Watch 4G has an IP68 rating, is shockproof and water resistant up to 5ATM. The company has also said that it has MIL-STD-810G rating.
The smartwatch has 22mm silicone bands that can be swapped with other bands of the user’s preference. Personally, we did not feel the need of changing the bands as they were very comfortable as well as sweatproof. In the box, you will also find the wireless charger of the smartwatch that is compatible with a Micro-USB cable.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 4G performance
Specifications of any device is one of its most important aspects, so let’s take a moment to talk about it before we tell you more about the performance of this smartwatch. Samsung Galaxy Watch 4G is powered by the company’s Exynos 9110 processor that is clocked at 1.5GHz. The device packs 1.5GB of RAM and has 4GB of onboard storage. This can be used for downloading various apps and storing music. It makes perfect sense to store music on Samsung Galaxy Watch 4G as the smartwatch can be directly linked to a pair of earphones via Bluetooth. The smartwatch runs the company’s Tizen-based wearable OS and can be paired to both iOS and Android devices. For connectivity, it has Bluetooth 4.2, Wi-Fi, NFC, A-GPS, and 4G LTE. It is worth pointing out that you will have to set up the cellular connectivity of the smartwatch on the Galaxy Wearable app. As of now, only Airtel and Jio networks can be used to provide 4G connectivity on the Samsung Galaxy Watch.
Coming to the performance of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4G, we are quite impressed by it. During our time with the device, we did not notice any lag in the smartwatch’s performance. In fact, if you are a fitness freak, this smartwatch is your dream gadget. It has a slew of fitness-focussed features and can be used to track a number of activities including walking, running, cycling, swimming, hiking, elliptical training, lunges, crunches, squats, jumping jacks, pilates, yoga, stretching, among so many others. One feature that we really liked was that the watch reminded us to move whenever we sat without doing any activity for some time.
If you are someone who needs motivation to include more activity in your daily routine, this watch is exactly what you are looking for. It reminded us time and again to move, and motivated us to walk more often. Whenever we got up to take a walk, the device automatically detected it and started counting our steps. We should mention that the number of steps increases on their own even if you are driving, but then, Samsung Galaxy Watch 4G is not the only smartwatch that has this inaccuracy. The same is the case with every other smartwatch.
Other than tracking our steps, the watch also keeps a record of the user’s heart rate at all times. With default settings, it checks it once in every 10 minutes. While there is an option of changing the settings to ‘Always On’, but then, that obviously will make the battery of the smartwatch go down a lot sooner. We should mention that when the watch detects that you are exercising, it will automatically start measuring your heart-rate on ‘Always-On’ mode.
During our time with the watch, we did take a few calls on it. The sound of the voice of the caller was clear to us at all times and we did not encounter any problems while speaking to them. Wearing the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4G while sleeping is not a very comfortable thing to do, but when we managed to do it, the smartwatch got a correct reading of the number of hours we slept.
Coming to the battery life of Samsung Galaxy Watch 4G, it usually lasted about 3-4 days when we switched the 4G on ‘auto’ the device and used it extensively for calls and during workouts. However, the smartwatch took hours to charge from 0% to 100%. You need to give it at least 3-4 hours to charge completely.
Verdict
The price of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4G starts at Rs 28,490 and we feel that the cost is completely justified. The performance of the smartwatch is so smooth that it makes it worth every penny spent. If you are someone who wants a smartwatch with cellular connectivity or are a fitness freak, you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4G. You will be happy with it as the smartwatch is quite an all-rounder. The slow charging of the device is the only thing that we did not like, but then, we think most people can live with that.

Users of iPhones have been waiting for this feature since quite some time now. Yes, we are talking about the Dark Mode for Whatsapp and it has been in the works since (roughly) 6-8 months. However now, users who are on iOS will be able to get this mode in the Beta version first. It is supposed to roll out in the coming weeks. After which it will be rolled out fully.
A report in WABetainfo has concurred that the Dark Mode is indeed coming to iPhones soon. In the new update for iOS version, 2.20.10.23 should get this Dark Mode to Apple devices. Well, there have been workarounds to get the dark mode for WhatsApp on iOS, however, this will be the first-ever official rollout by the Facebook-owned company for users everywhere. The report also suggests some good changes in this mode are also likely to happen for Android users, too.

Along with the Dark Mode, WhatsApp Beta for iOS is expected to get better new features. The next feature that will be coming to iOS is the data saver or low data mode. This is as useful as Dark Mode since Dark Mode saves battery, low data mode will save data. WhatsApp will now not automatically download videos and images if the iPhone is working on low data mode when using a mobile network. This will save valuable bytes and only those videos, audio files, documents and images will be downloaded which the user wishes to. Otherwise, these will be downloaded when the iPhone connects to a WiFi network.
Over that, suggested contacts feature is also coming with the new update for iOS. According to WABetainfo whenever a user is sending a file via WhatsApp to another user the software will show suggested WhatsApp contacts to them, in case the same file needs to be sent to another user too. This will make users life a bit easier as he/she would not need to go back to the file and keep sending it to different users.

This year the popular electronics brand LG introduced its flagship dual-screen LG V50 ThinQ 5G at MCW 2019 earlier this year. Now the South Korean smartphone maker is likely to introduce LG V60 ThinQ 5G variant at the upcoming Mobile World Congress that will be held in February 2020. This phone will be an upgraded version of the LG V50 ThinQ.
According to a report by The Korea Herald, its industry insider has revealed that LG Electronics will be unveiling LG V60 ThinQ at MWC 2020 to be held in Barcelona. The smartphone will arrive with 5G connectivity ability along with an ultra-fast wireless network.
The unnamed source of the publisher said, “LG Electronics is planning to showcase V60 ThinQ as next year’s first smartphone to expand its presence in the 5G market. The company is expected to increase its shipments in South Korea, the United States and Japan.”
At the event, the company is likely to put up an accompanying second-screen accessory on display for the LG V60 ThinQ. This smartphone will also come with a dual-screen on the front as well as on the back panel.
To recall the company introduced the dual-screen foldable phone at the last year’s MCW event. Where it showcased three phones one LG V50 ThinQ 5G, LG G8 ThinQ and G8s ThinQ. As the name suggests V50 comes with 5G connectivity whereas the G8 phones do not support 5G connectivity.

A few days ago, the company launched LG G8X ThinQ along with LG Dual Screen in India. The phone has been priced at Rs 48,999 and is available in a single Aurora Black colour.

These days almost every person in the world is a Facebook user and is under a big misconception that their personal data is safe with the platform. In the latest privacy glitch around 267 million user’s data leaked online.
According to Security researchers these millions of Facebook user IDs, phone numbers, as well as names, were exposed on the web to hackers. The database that contained all the personal details of the users were left open for almost two weeks. Now the users are being urged to update their contact details after this security breach.
The privacy breach was revealed by Bob Diachenko who is a security researcher along with Comparitech. According to the security researcher, the discovery of the data is a result of an illegal scraping operation or Facebook API abuse by criminals in Vietnam.
Bob Diachenko said that the US users are most likely to be at risk of the latest data leak or users who have not set their profiles to private are. “A database this big is likely to be used for phishing and spam, particularly via SMS. Facebook users should be on the lookout for suspicious text messages. Even if the sender knows your name or some basic information about you, be skeptical of any unsolicited messages,” Diachenko said.
However, they are not sure how the personal information of the Facebook users was stolen but Diachenko immediately notified internet service provider that manages the IP address of the server so that the data could be removed.
As most of the affected users were from the US, their unique Facebook ID, phone number, full name and timestamp were leaked too. The security researcher doubts that possibly the user’s data might be stolen from Facebook’s developer API.
The report also said, “Facebook’s API is used by app developers to add social context to their applications by accessing users’ profiles, friends list, groups, photos, and event data. Phone numbers were available to third-party developers prior to 2018. Facebook’s API could also have a security hole that would allow criminals to access user IDs and phone numbers even after access was restricted.”

Facebook has long outgrown being only a social media website. Facebook is now a technology titan with many products and services to their name. Facebook expanded into hardware by acquiring Portal and Oculus, where Facebook uses a heavily modified version of Android. If sources are to be believed, the company is looking to bring its software in-house through a custom OS for mobiles.
Facebook has reportedly hired Mark Lucovsky, one of the original authors of the Windows NT operating system to which Windows 10 belongs.
Facebook’s head of hardware, Andrew Borsworth confirmed that Facebook is prepping for the future in a statement, where he said that Facebook is gearing up to make space for themselves in the future and that the marketplace or Facebook’s competitors cannot be trusted to ensure it, which is why Facebook will pave their own way into the future of the world.
The probable cause for Facebook’s concern might be Oculus, which has been leading the Virtual Reality space, which is only taking off now, after many years of operation and slow growth. It is expected that more and more people want to interact with this truly immersive software. Starting from scratch will give Facebook the opportunity to find out if future customers want technology that is immersive. However, Oculus depends on support from developers of which Android is not always compatible.
Facebook’s last attempt to enter the software market began way back in 2013 when they partnered with HTC to launch the HTC First, an android device which had a Facebook-based user interface called Facebook Home. While this did not raise any concerns back then, it is still a question if users will trust a completely by Facebook operating system after the company’s repeated privacy violations and lack of security practices, which led the company to get a lot of flak by the whole world.
Also, Facebook recently bought Beat Games, the gaming studio behind the popular Beat Saber game, Beat Games is now officially a part of Oculus. Seems like Facebook is quickly expanding and venturing into newer beats.

Recently Samsung owned AKG audio company launched new wireless headphones in India called AKG Y500. The headphones come with a price tag of Rs 9,499 in the country and do look stylish and come with over the ears design.
So before heading over to the design and performance part of the review allow us to tell you what you will get inside the box of AKG Y500 wireless headphones. The pair of headphones comes with a user manual, pouch, charging cable and an audio cable inside the box. The box does mention that the wireless headphones have received iF Design Award for the year 2018. And when we unboxed the headphone, we fell in love with them at the very first sight. AKG Y500 absolutely looks stunning as well as stylish. So, let’s start the review.

Design
Starting with the design first, for the review we received the Black colour variant however the company offers three more colour options — Blue, Pink and Green. The first thing comes to our mind when we first think of buying a new headphone is the sound quality and the second most important thing is comfort. AKG Y500 wireless headphones comes with very soft padding. So first we tried them on to know how comfortable they are. These can be obviously used for long hours because of the soft padding on the earcups. There is another padding on the upper inside part of the rim area. The padding is sweat-resistant and can be used while working out.
But in our case, we felt a bit of a pain, as well as pressure on the earlobes after wearing it for 15 minutes however the company, has used soft cushioning material to extra comfort. The rim is made of plastic as well as steel. Initially, we felt a good fit but felt like they will come off even with the slightest movement of the head. While lying on the bed also the headphones kept coming off even with the tightest grip. We think it would fit well for a user with larger head size. You also get an option to extend the rim if they do not fit you well, yet they came off our small head when moving around.
On the right earcup, you get a play and to activate Bluetooth buttons. Another button is available for activating the ambient aware mode and also the charging port. While on the left there is slider button for maintaining the volume of the headphones, a dedicated button for receiving or disconnecting calls and a 3.5 mm audio jack.
Performance
Like we mentioned earlier these are wireless earphones so you can connect it to your device via Bluetooth. Over that, you can pair two devices simultaneously, so no more juggling between devices. Other than your Android smartphone you can connect it with a tablet or laptop, too. The headphones connect to your device every time it is turned on almost instantaneously. To test the Bluetooth connectivity, we left our smartphone in one room and went to the other room and we experienced a slight disturbance in the connectivity. The music paused a couple of times when we went to our balcony. However in close quarters, it was absolutely fine, so a clear distance of about 30 feet is what it works best in.
The audio drivers are very loud. Sometimes we felt by the reaction of the fellow passengers in the Metro, they were able to hear the music as it seeps out. Else the sound delivered was very impressive, we absolutely loved the beats. Also, there is an Ambient mode on the headphones which can be activated by pressing the dedicated button placed on the right earcup. This feature allows the environmental sound so that you do not miss out any important announcement or conversations while travelling.
There is an automatic pause function On the AKG headphones, which automatically gets activated and pauses the music when you take them off and the music resumes as you put them on. Quite neat in our opinion.
The company claims that AKG Y500 headphones offers up to 33 hours of music playback. During our review, we used it in intervals so we cannot confirm it can deliver mentioned playback time, however, the headphones charge quickly. One thing we missed was a voice assistant support, probably we will get to see that in the next version.
Verdict
AKG Y500 wireless headphone is a set we would surely recommend for its sound quality and lots of cool features on it. But at this price point, we were a bit disappointed that the headphones don’t support voice assistant. But the headphones have a fast Bluetooth connectivity, charge quickly, have long playback time and foremost are very stylish. Now that is a good combo.

The front of the smartwatch is subjugated by its 1.3-inch AMOLED display that protected by a layer of Corning’s Gorilla Glass DX+. We should mention that this is the screen size of the 46mm variant of the device. The smaller 42mm variant has a 1.2-inch display. The display of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4G depicted good colours and had a good level of brightness, which adjusts itself according to the ambient lighting conditions. Even the viewing angles of the display are good and the colours projected appear consistent. During our time with the watch, we had no trouble reading anything on the display, even when we used it under direct sunlight. It is worth noticing that Samsung Galaxy Watch 4G has an IP68 rating, is shockproof and water resistant up to 5ATM. The company has also said that it has MIL-STD-810G rating.
The smartwatch has 22mm silicone bands that can be swapped with other bands of the user’s preference. Personally, we did not feel the need of changing the bands as they were very comfortable as well as sweatproof. In the box, you will also find the wireless charger of the smartwatch that is compatible with a Micro-USB cable.
Coming to the performance of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4G, we are quite impressed by it. During our time with the device, we did not notice any lag in the smartwatch’s performance. In fact, if you are a fitness freak, this smartwatch is your dream gadget. It has a slew of fitness-focussed features and can be used to track a number of activities including walking, running, cycling, swimming, hiking, elliptical training, lunges, crunches, squats, jumping jacks, pilates, yoga, stretching, among so many others. One feature that we really liked was that the watch reminded us to move whenever we sat without doing any activity for some time.
If you are someone who needs motivation to include more activity in your daily routine, this watch is exactly what you are looking for. It reminded us time and again to move, and motivated us to walk more often. Whenever we got up to take a walk, the device automatically detected it and started counting our steps. We should mention that the number of steps increases on their own even if you are driving, but then, Samsung Galaxy Watch 4G is not the only smartwatch that has this inaccuracy. The same is the case with every other smartwatch.
Other than tracking our steps, the watch also keeps a record of the user’s heart rate at all times. With default settings, it checks it once in every 10 minutes. While there is an option of changing the settings to ‘Always On’, but then, that obviously will make the battery of the smartwatch go down a lot sooner. We should mention that when the watch detects that you are exercising, it will automatically start measuring your heart-rate on ‘Always-On’ mode.
During our time with the watch, we did take a few calls on it. The sound of the voice of the caller was clear to us at all times and we did not encounter any problems while speaking to them. Wearing the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4G while sleeping is not a very comfortable thing to do, but when we managed to do it, the smartwatch got a correct reading of the number of hours we slept.
Coming to the battery life of Samsung Galaxy Watch 4G, it usually lasted about 3-4 days when we switched the 4G on ‘auto’ the device and used it extensively for calls and during workouts. However, the smartwatch took hours to charge from 0% to 100%. You need to give it at least 3-4 hours to charge completely.

The audio drivers are very loud. Sometimes we felt by the reaction of the fellow passengers in the Metro, they were able to hear the music as it seeps out.

This feature allows the environmental sound so that you do not miss out any important announcement or conversations while travelling.
There is an automatic pause function On the AKG headphones, which automatically gets activated and pauses the music when you take them off and the music resumes as you put them on. Quite neat in our opinion.
