Jio Airtel Tariff FAQ, Nothing Phone 3 Launch?, Galaxy Unpacked 2024 - #AskArun Is Back
Have you ever broken a mobile in a drop test? What a good question! I think I can live with it. You can live with it? Yes. H50 Ultra or Vivo X100? Oh! That's a very good question! Water! Water! Water! Alright friends, on public demand, hashtag AskArun is back! Yes! I know that for the past 6 months, there was a comment on every video. Sir, bring AskArun! But we wanted to basically evolve.
Because we needed some depth in your questions & whatever we discuss. Everything was very, you know, AskArun was very shallow. That's why we said that we'll present you in a new form & avatar. And that's why, friends, hashtag AskArun reloaded & refueled.
You can say whatever you want to say. Tell us what name & hashtag you want to keep. Tell us in the comments below. But today, it's not just your questions. It's going to be more than that.
What happened in tech this week? What didn't happen? Which phones were launched? What did we think about those phones? We're going to talk totally unfiltered. And because of that, we have 2 in-house guests present with us. Sajid & Ershad. You must know them. But we're going to have a discussion. It's going to be podcast-styled.
Podcast-styled, hashtag AskArun. Welcome to the renewed hashtag AskArun episode. Alright, quickly before taking your questions, let's talk about which phones were launched. I think 3-4 phones were launched whose unboxing we've done. And if you haven't seen those videos, do go & watch them.
But let's talk about it. Harshad & Sajid are in 1-1 line. Nord C4 Lite. What do you think, Sajid? Apart from the processor, they've upgraded everything else.
It should've cost around Rs 15,000. Rs 15,000? Okay. Harshad? He'll never do that for OnePlus. Because their Nord CE Lite series is one of the best-selling series. It was going to sell for Rs 20,000.
But the processor choice was very bad. Because they've been using the processor for 3 years. And it's impact is not just on performance but on everything else. That's what I said in the unboxing. It's just not about performance. But connectivity, camera.
Because everything is related to that processor. HDR video playback is not available on YouTube. I mean, it won't make a difference to many people.
But still, it's a technology that needs to exist according to me. And it's not there. OnePlus is taking advantage of the brand build. Let's talk about the other phone. But the phone looks good. Definitely.
It looks good & the display is good. But what's the use of 21Nits brightness? If there's no HDR, it doesn't make sense. Next phone is Infinix Note 40 5G. Wireless charging under Rs 20,000.
The Pro series features like MagCase & MagSafe charging, they've brought it under Rs 20,000. It makes the phone interesting. In terms of performance & camera, there are better options.
What I liked more than this phone is that they've set a trend. Bringing wireless charging under Rs 20,000. See, it's always that someone brands first & then everyone else does it.
And I think it's an excellent trend that Infinix has set. Do people use wireless charging that much? In that price range? That's a good question you asked. Because I like it, but I don't think we're the kind of masses. I really don't know. You tell us in the comments if wireless charging is important for you or not. But according to me, it's fantastic.
One thing I liked about Infinix, apart from the wireless charging, which is of course good tech, their software is better. Especially considering that they provide clean software. Definitely.
There's less bloatware. That was a very important thing that people used to talk about Infinix. So yes, I think that was a good launch. Fairly decent launch. Alright, let's talk about Realme GT 6. What do you think? I think it's a good phone.
In fact, we've said in the video of under Rs 40,000 that it's one of the all-round phones. What do you think? Arshad, you tell us first. GT 6 is a good comeback for Realme. Firstly, they've made the GT 60, which is a very good phone. Because there's not much difference in performance between 7 Plus Gen 3 & 8S Gen 3.
But I liked the GT 6 because the camera performance was really good. I think it was really nice. Realme's cameras are generally good.
According to me, they have a good dynamic range. So they're doing good. Both GT 60 & GT 6 are decent offerings according to me. I think the chronology of the launch was wrong. First, the GT 6 should've been launched.
But that's a good point. First, the 6 should've been launched. So that people's expectations would've been met.
But the problem is that Poco F6 is under Rs 30,000. So everyone's expectation would've been that if any brand is launching the 8S Gen 3, then they have to get it under Rs 30,000. It's not like that. Alright, so these were the phone launches.
But the biggest news of the day is that millions of people have hiked their prices. A lot of people are wondering if 5G Unlimited is going to happen or not. How many prices have gone up? Is it only for 4G or not? Some plans are not visible.
What's the date? Should we upgrade now? What about postpaid & prepaid? We're going to tell you everything. But first, let's start with the most important question. Is 5G Unlimited going to be available or not? It's going to be Unlimited. So don't worry, friends. You're going to get 5G Unlimited.
Don't worry at all. Yes, the prices have gone up. And I think the prices of prepaid plans have gone up by 20-25%. So if you used to buy a plan for Rs 395 in Jio, now it's for Rs 479. The plan for Rs 239 or Rs 240 has now become Rs 299. So in every plan, I think it has gone up by Rs 60-70.
The price has gone up by 20-25%. And what do you think about it? Let's be fair. Because there's a lot of abuse. I mean, I'm not sure. There's no funding for our wedding.
I've received so many comments. Like, yes, Anant Ambani is getting married. So where should the money come from? So the prices have gone up.
No, it's not like that. But my point of view is that I think we were already one of the cheapest when it comes to data. I've travelled the world and I'll tell you. India is very cheap as far as data pricing goes, calling prices go, voice calls, etc. And if they want to increase the service levels of Telco, because the speeds of 5G have already reduced in the last 1-1.5 years. So what do you think about the price rise, Sajid? Specially if we talk about Jio, because Jio provides standalone 5G for which you have to install hardware. At different places.
Unlike Airtel which is doing NSA. And you'll notice an interesting thing that Jio and Airtel have done a similar price hike of 25-21%. But Airtel's plans are still more expensive.
Oh, interesting. Yes, Airtel's plans are more expensive. And you don't get much data. Similar data, but the cost is higher. I use Postpaid for this. You don't have to think about all this.
I also use Postpaid. So I use Idea prepaid and Jio is Postpaid. Which plan do you have? 499.
Yes, 399. I also have a plan of 399, now it's 479. Has Postpaid also increased? Yes, Postpaid has increased.
At least Airtel's plan has increased. It's details have not been charted yet. But according to me, it must have increased.
But Airtel's plan has increased. I also have Postpaid for that. I have Postpaid only. Postpaid plan. But there is a rollover of 70GB data, and 40GB or 70GB. You don't even know if the data is over.
We don't use that much data because there is Wi-Fi access. But those who don't have that, then that 5G data matters. But there is one thing, Jio was profitable. I am talking about the business side. And Airtel was not there.
Airtel has been saying for 6-8 months that they are going to increase the prices. But they didn't increase. As soon as Jio increased, Airtel increased. They did not take the first step. So somewhere...
I saw an interesting stat that before Jio came, or just when they entered, there were 10 or 12 telecom players. 12+. 12 plus telecom players. And now there are only 4. 4. They merged.
Jio? Airtel, BSNL, and Vee. Vee. What is the scene with Vee? They didn't get anything. They might get it tomorrow.
They don't even have 5G. No. Airwaves. The spectrum of airwaves is on. So maybe they will do it. But yes, I think it is duopoly.
Vee is losing subscribers. BSNL is out of the question. So it is between Airtel and Jio. These are the two which cover about 80-85% of India. So don't worry. I think it is fine.
I mean, 20-20% rise is good. The only thing is they should improve their service quality, speeds. 5G is still giving unlimited. But I don't know.
Full stop will come on that too very soon. Yeah, that's what. It hasn't happened yet. There was a lot of discussion about it. That the rates of 5G are going to come. Like the rates are going to come.
It won't be unlimited anymore. Let's see. Let's see. I hope it will happen. Then that time it will be slightly difficult.
Okay. Let's move on to the main things. Anything that we missed out that happened last week? Which you want to chip in? Next surprise announcement of Pixel 9 series. Yeah. In August. Which is generally in October.
It is going to happen in August. 13th, 14th? Around that time? 13th. 13th. 13th, okay. And that's a smart move because Samsung's launch is in July iPhone will be launched in September And Pixel will be launched in August But I'm excited for Pixel 9 Pro Design is looking good in design leaks And I think this August launch window makes it interesting for the US Let's say if it launches in August In the holiday period after September and October, they can push the seals in many deals Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro coming in August Coming on August 13 So do subscribe Yes, everyone's unboxing In fact, watch the upcoming video A lot of phones are launching in July There are so many phones Everyone's unboxing, reviews, everything is going to be there So don't forget to subscribe By the way, do give us feedback You tell us the name of this hashtag We'll change it accordingly What all should we bring Because this is basically a test You like this format or not Tell us about it What should we do or not But definitely on Sunday Hashtag Askarun is coming In what form it will come In what format it should come You have to tell us We'll definitely bring changes based on your feedback But yes, the most important thing is Askarun Your questions, my answers Let us get on with that It's going to be fun I think before that We talked about what happened last week It's okay This happens Water, water, water Water, water, water You have a lot of questions I'm going to answer everyone But before that, quickly We talked about the week where the launches were Now which smartphones are going to come next week I'm going to tell you that From Monday to Saturday So, on 4th July Motorazor 50 Ultra is launching Oh, Motorazor 50 Ultra I'm looking forward to it Yes, it's upgrades are really good It's upgraded to 360 degrees From the cover screen And even the display The cover display has Dolby Vision Yes What?

Yeah Oh, okay So this Nothing Phone 3 If you noticed Nothing's phone launches Generally are a little delayed There is no such phone on time So Phone 3 will come late They will bring AIYI All right, next Tankian asks Nord 3 or Edge 50 Fusion? Nord 3 or Edge 50 Fusion? Good question Good question According to me Nord 3's performance is good For everything else I will go with Edge 50 Fusion That's the best way to put it Correct Nord 3 for performance Edge 50 Fusion for everything else Definitely It's good Camera is good I liked it a lot But people abuse People say When do you launch Motorola? But they have launched Some really good phones But it's a best selling phone One of the best selling phones for Motorola Edge 50 Fusion And if you want to buy OnePlus Then Nord C4 Oh yeah Nord C4 is decent It's a little expensive But yeah It's decent I said it's decent OnePlus's branding Has some value Yes Raj says In India Many Chinese companies Are launching Hub factories But why are the phone prices Not decreasing? What a good question That's a good question Who asked? Raj Raj Raj wants to know the secret No How does it happen? India is launching factories It's not like manufacturing It's an assembly And components Come from everywhere And generally What we have talked With brands Brands have said Component prices Have increased So whether it is Assembled in India Or it is assembled Outside If it was outside It would have been more expensive Because of import duty In assembly Import duty Is less PLI schemes Which the government Is giving I think in 2024 Actually Smartphone prices Are good I won't say That they are expensive But if you compare With 2022 Definitely You are getting More phones Than what prices are being The point you said Is a very important point Because prices are less in China People think That same prices Should come here But prices are less in China Because phones are made in China Yes They are made And are manufactured And are made Across the world And components are also made In China Many components So when components Are assembled here Obviously the price Is not the same And I am okay I think in 2024 Good phones are launching Why Moto phones Don't have call recording Because they don't Have their own dialer They use Google dialer Yes So Motorola If you are listening A dialer Technically They have call recording But they Give a beep Or a disclaimer That your Dialer is being recorded So they use Google dialer But Motorola Develop your own dialer Yes That's important There is no law in India It's okay You can circumvent it Yeah Okay Amul is asking In tech news We should also take PC related tech news What a good point Yes We do take Okay we will take I mean I don't have Any problem In fact if A big laptop Launches Macbooks launch So we Take the most Popular ones But if you want Regular We will do it We will tell Nishant To include those also So yeah Thank you Thank you for that Ritwik is asking Why videos Are not coming on Tracking auto Oh Okay It will be a little long And you know Auto is very Close to my heart Like I have a passion For tech I like auto a lot The way we are Going and time Is one of the biggest Bottleneck for me So I know You are saying Why don't I Come on auto So we First tried It wasn't that big At that time Now there are Many channels We do a lot of content We are also focusing On social media So content is going There In auto So we had Many hosts But somehow We are not getting The right person In fact If you are Auto enthusiast In front of the camera If you are Very comfortable And you really Have that knowledge And you want to be In front of the camera Apply Yes Jobs at track.in
Apply As auto host So we are Looking for it We are not going to Stop And I am also Going to be But not as frequently There is going to be Another host So we are looking For a good auto host So please If you are Or if you know Someone Then tell us In the comments Or mail us Definitely Anshuman is asking Does generative AI Run locally Or on cloud Oh that's Again a good question Look Now It depends on How it is going To be implemented Now According to me 90% It is running On cloud Even now Whether it is Galaxy AI A lot of things Go on cloud And then happen So now it is Running on cloud And when Apple Will bring it It will do a lot Of things on private cloud And save data there So right now It is safe to say At least on device 10-20% But 80-90% Is happening On cloud Ayesha do you Want to chip in here So certain things Are done on device Like for example When Apple Told about Apple Intelligence They made Emoji maker All that Is done on device And the configuration Is also very weird I felt very bad To be honest So that too Is done on device Probably that is why When on device It is done on cloud It is not On cloud It is on cloud has its limitations. But the phone has so much power. Yes, It is on cloud One device has its limitations. Processing exactly. Yes, so it's on cloud. Next. Next question is from Survivor. What a good question. Yes, I have. Really? Yes, I have. Which one? It was from Infinix. We didn't notice it. When B-Roll was taken out, that's when it was broken. It was very old.
3-4 years ago. It was broken from the back. It was broken from the back.
And I think there was one from Realme. Now I think definitely, in the future, it's going to break more. Because now, not only in Hindi, it drops. Sometimes it drops in English. Sometimes it drops in Tamil. Sometimes.
In Tamil, it drops in the unboxing. And that same phone drops. Yes.
It drops once. It drops again. It drops again. And now, we are going to start a little stringent.
Now, we drop it on wood. On our table. We are going to drop it on the floor.
So, there's a chance. Because, nowadays, brands are saying, even in Rs. 20,000 phone, Gorilla Glass 3, 4, 5 etc. comes. Then, I think, we should also be stringent. Earlier, there was no protection. Then we used to do.
Now, it's coming in most of the phones. Then we should do real world test. It fell from the pocket. Something like this. I think, brands should be asked to sell 2 phones.
2 phones. So that, one is broken. Per channel. I'm talking about per channel. Dinesh Ji is asking, H50 Ultra or Vivo X100? Oh! That's a very good question. Both are in 55-60 in this price range.
Again, camera of Vivo X100 is good. Have you compared those 2? No, I want to do that actually. H50 Ultra and X100 cameras, both, I think, will be best in that price range. Because, H50 Ultra beats OnePlus 12.
Like, raw. Like, really. No pun intended. But, cameras are so good. Like, OnePlus 12 is left behind.
Definitely. But, X100 is, a very good camera. Sajid? For camera, Vivo. Okay, so camera, Vivo compared for camera.
But, will you use Funtouch with it? I think, I can live with it. You can live with it. Okay. Overall, if we see, Motorola.
As an overall phone, Moto X100. Yeah, because it has a better IP rating, 68. It's in Vivo too. It's in Vivo too, 68. Is there wireless charging in Vivo X100? No. No.
So, that's the difference. Yeah, Vivo is actually a very good competitor to this. Yeah, it's a good competition. Let's see. Alright.
Okay, next question is from Sumit. He's saying, we should start a 90 & 180 days review series. And we've been talking, Sajid. Definitely. I don't promise for all phones, but we're definitely going to do for the popular phones.
We already do in English. Yeah, subscribe to Trakinic English. There, comparison & reviews. That is the main. There, there's no unboxing.
So, but definitely in Hindi, we're going to do a 90-180 days long term review. But we're not going to do a review of all the phones. Because that is not possible. Unboxing, quick review, and then reviewing after that is not possible for all the phones.
But you tell us, I mean, we're open to it & we want to do it. Even comparisons, review & comparison, our focus is a little less on both. We're going to start doing it.
Thank you for your suggestion. Definitely, we will do it. Okay, done? Yes, that's all. Alright, this was it. We'll keep the hashtag, AskArun, Reloaded, Refilled, Re, Re, Re, Re, Re, Re, whatever name you suggest.
Definitely, in the comments below. How did you like this format, as I've said before, do tell us how you liked the format. There will be some more feedback, do give it. And Sajid & Narsha, thank you for participating in this first hashtag, AskArun, XXX, whatever it is.
Whatever it is. We'll leave it to the audience. Yeah, we'll leave it, we'll leave, what's happening? We'll leave it up to you. So, friends, what do you want to know in the next hashtag, AskArun? Do tell us, ask questions, we're going to take them in the next hashtag, AskArun.
And, who else should we bring? Guests are also going to be different sometimes. Do stay for that too. So, friends, that's all for this video.
Until the next video, Keep Trakin & Stay Safe!
