Reliance JioPhone to get Facebook, YouTube, Google Maps:

Reliance Jio had announced that its KaiOS-powered JioPhone would receive support for popular apps like Facebook, YouTube and WhatsApp last month during its Annual General Meeting. The company has now confirmed that the JioPhone will get these apps on the marketplace on August 15. However, the company said that users will have to wait for some time to get WhatsApp support.

Last year, when the JioPhone was first launched, one of the major criticisms around it was the lack of support for social media lifelines like WhatsApp and Facebook. Additionally, people were mostly restricted to Jio’s own content on the JioPhone. With a separate app for YouTube on the JioPhone, users can now get full access to YouTube videos like any other Android phone.

Reliance has recently rolled out its Jio Phone Monsoon Hungama offer in which buyers could exchange their old feature phone with JiPhone for Rs 501 from July 21. However, under the Rs 501 exchange offer, the 'effectively free' phone will not be free anymore. You will not get any refund if you buy JioPhone through Monsoon Hungama offer as it is one-time payment purchase. If you want to avail of the effectively free offer, you will have to pay Rs 1500 for the JioPhone and the exchange offer won't be applicable.

Reliance has also announce that the second edition of the JioPhone--JioPhone 2-- will go on sale for the first in India on August 16. The JioPhone 2 will be available online on Jio.com on August 16, 12PM. This will be a flash sale and limit stocks will be available. The Jio Phone 2 looks similar to old BlackBerry phones and offers same features of the original JioPhone. It will be available at an introductory price of Rs 2,999 during the first flash sale. Note that buyers will have to get the Reliance Jio SIM card separately. Also, the device will support only Reliance Jio SIM cards and not of any other telecom operator.

Google Assistant can now read stories from News app:

At Google I/O 2018, Google announced several new additions to its Assistant app. Since then many of these new features have rolled out to the app. Google recently introduced

another feature from the list for the app's Android version.

This latest addition to Google Assistant's Android app allows users to ask Assistant to read news directly from Google news app. With this, users can now be more specific about the story they are looking for or want to listen. They can also ask for a particular beat such as politics, entertainment, sports or specific topics. like 'Hey Google what’s the latest news from Samsung’ or ‘what new going on in Delhi’?

Google Assistant’s features and cabilities have always also been dependent upon the device and form factor. While the recently-launched Google Assistant powered smartdisplays will display the headline as well as videos and other clips from broadcast, the Google Home smart speakers will read out the briefing from various publishers based upon their region. Users can also customize the publications, get included in the news briefing based upon their interest and choice.This feature works on all the Android phones and tablets, Android Auto and other Google Assistant-powered smartdevices. Currently, this feature is available only in the United States and the company is planning to launch it globally based on users' feedback.Google has also introduced a new publisher tool to outline the important section of the news story that will be read by the Assistant. With this new tool, the Assistant will note the name of the publication, suggests other articles, and can also send the link of the story to the user’s phone.

Reliance Jio's broadband service GigaFiber registrations to start August 15:

Starting August 15, consumers can register their interest to get Jio GigaFiber fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) broadband service. Jio GigaFiber is pitched as an all-in-one solution that takes care of broadband, IPTV, landline, virtual reality gaming, and beyond. This is the first time the Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance is venturing into the broadband market. There’s a hype around Jio GigaFiber and naturally, people are interested to know more about the highly-anticipated broadband service. But Jio’s high-speed broadband service also brings with it a lot of questions. Here’s everything you need to know about Jio GigaFiber.

Reliance Jio GigaFiber registrations to kick-start on August 15

Reliance Jio GigaFiber registrations will begin on August 15, but this is merely a formality. This means consumers will not get access to the service after showing your interest. It totally depends on the city and locality where the service is currently being offered. In fact, the company has already clarified that it will prioritise the rollout of the Jio GigaFiber in those localities based on the interest it has received from registrations. Jio claims it wants to extend fiber connectivity to homes, merchants, small and medium enterprises and large enterprises simultaneously across 1,100 cities.

To register your interest in the JioGigaFiber broadband service, simply visit MyJio app or Jio.com. The registration is free of cost. Users will be prompted to enter their name, address, email account, and other details.

Reliance Jio GigaGiber service could start at Rs 500 per month

Although Jio hasn’t commented on the proposed plans, many believe the service could start from as low as Rs 500 per month. The Economic Times claims Jio’s highly-ambitious broadband service will launch with plans priced as low as Rs 500 per month. That’s 50 per cent lower than the current rates charged by other leading broadband service providers for similar services.In case users would like to try the broadband service (again, it entirely depends on the availability of the service in your area), they can do so by paying Rs 4,500 as a one-time security deposit. As part of the trial, users are entitled to get 100GB of monthly data for 90 days at 100Mbps speed.

Reliance Jio GigaFiber will be an all-in-one service

Those who will subscribe to Jio GigaFiber will get an access to a router and JioGigaTV. The Jio GigaRouter is designed to provide a high-speed internet connectivity with speeds up to 1Gbps. The second device is a set-up-box, dubbed the JioGigaTV. The set-up-box will give access to over 600 plus channels, thousands of movies, and millions of songs. It is evidently a 4K-ready streaming box with a bundled remote control that lets you search for any content using voice commands.Reliance Jio GigaFiber will be more than a regular broadband service. Think Jio GigaFiber as an amalgamation of broadband, IPTV, landline, video conferencing, and virtual reality rolled into one. With Jio GigaFiber, the company wants to get into the smart home market as well. It plans to sell a number of accessories for your smart home which includes smart cameras, smart bulbs, IR blasters, smoke detectors, TV cameras, video dongles, and more. Jio claims all these connected accessories can be controlled by its MyJio app.
