Highlights

OpenAI has announced GPT-4, the latest version of its hugely popular artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT.

  • GPT-4 is a more advanced next-generation language model that is more capable of performing complex language tasks, similar to how GPT-3 and ChatGPT can understand and generate human-like language.
  • GPT-4 will initially be available to ChatGPT Plus subscribers, who pay $20 per month for premium access to the service.
  • In this article, we are sharing all details related to GPT-4 along with the difference between ChatGPT & GPT-4, ChatGPT Plus subscriptions, ChatGPT visual and more.

Microsoft-backed OpenAI, the American artificial intelligence research laboratory, recently announced the new version of their language model called GPT-4.

This model has been claimed to be even more advanced than the current ChatGPT and will be able to perform even more complex language tasks.

As per OpenAI’s announcement, it will have a larger capacity to learn and process information, and will likely have more advanced features such as a better understanding of context and improved natural language generation capabilities.

The company CEO Sam Altman recently tweeted the GPT-4 official announcement blog on their official Twitter handle. Altman tweeted, “Here is GPT-4, our most capable and aligned model yet. It is available today in our API (with a waitlist) and in ChatGPT+. It is still flawed, still limited, and it still seems more impressive on first use than it does after you spend more time with it.”

He further extended the tweet thread and added, “It is more creative than previous models, it hallucinates significantly less, and it is less biased. it can pass a bar exam and score a 5 on several AP exams. There is a version with a 32k token context. We are previewing visual input for GPT-4; we will need some time to mitigate the safety challenges. we now support a “system” message in the API that allows developers (and soon ChatGPT users) to have significant customization of behaviour. if you want an AI that always answers you in the style of Shakespeare, or in json, now you can have that.”

GPT-4, similar to ChatGPT, is a creation of generative artificial intelligence that uses algorithms and predictive text in order to generate intelligent responses based on prompts.

 GPT-4

Altman also added in a series of tweets, “We are open-sourcing OpenAI Evals, our framework for automated evaluation of AI model performance, to allow anyone to help improve our models. we have had the initial training of GPT-4 done for quite a while, but it’s taken us a long time and a lot of work to feel ready to release it. we hope you enjoy it and we really appreciate feedback on its shortcomings.”

OpenAI has also announced new partnerships with language learning apps Duolingo and Be My Eyes. With these new partnerships, the company is hoping to create AI Chatbots which can assist their users using natural language.

In this article, we are sharing all details related to GPT-4 along with the difference between ChatGPT & GPT-4, ChatGPT Plus subscriptions, ChatGPT visual and more.

What is GPT-4?

GPT

As per OpenAI’s recent announcement, GPT-4 is the recently released version of OpenAI’s language model, which is being developed as a successor to ChatGPT. It will be an even more advanced model that is capable of performing complex language tasks, similar to how GPT-3 and ChatGPT can understand and generate human-like language.

GPT-4 will initially be available to ChatGPT Plus subscribers, who pay $20 per month for premium access to the service.

The latest version of the bot has “more advanced reasoning skills” as compared to ChatGPT, OpenAI claims. The language model, for example, can find available meeting times for three schedules.

Nonetheless, OpenAI has also warned of a few shortcomings. Similar to its predecessors, OpenAI believed GPT-4 too is still not completely reliable functionally.

The company has warned users that the program may “hallucinate” at times. “Hallucination” in artificial intelligence is a phenomenon where the AI at times invents facts or can even commit reasoning errors.

What is a ChatGPT Plus Subscription?

FAQs on ChatGPT

Q1. What is the difference between GPT-3 and 4?

Answer. As OpenAI’s most advanced system, GPT-4 surpasses older versions of the models in almost every area of comparison.

It is more creative and more coherent than GPT-3. It can process longer pieces of text or even images.

It’s more accurate and less likely to make “facts” up.

Q2. Is GPT-4 free?

Answer. No, Only ChatGPT Plus subscribers will get GPT-4 access on chat.openai.com with a usage cap.

OpenAI says it will adjust the exact usage cap depending on demand and system performance in practice, but they expect to be severely capacity constrained.

So, as of now, the only way to access the text-input capability through OpenAI is with a subscription to ChatGPT Plus, which guarantees subscribers access to the language model at the price of $20 a month.

Q3. Can GPT-4 generate images?

Answer. OpenAI claims that the next-generation ChatGPT known as GPT-4 contains big improvements.

It has already stunned people with its ability to create human-like text and generate images and computer code from almost any prompt.

Q4. Where can I use ChatGPT 4?

Answer. To get to ChatGPT-4, you will need the paid version of the site, ChatGPT+. Open up the ChatGPT site, at chat.openai.com.

If you already have access to ChatGPT+, then the site will take you directly to ChatGPT4.

Q5. Will GPT-4 have any aspect of Steerability?

Answer. OpenAI, in its GPT-4 announcement blog, stated, “We’ve been working on each aspect of the plan outlined in our post about defining the behaviour of AIs, including steerability. Rather than the classic ChatGPT personality with a fixed verbosity, tone, and style, developers (and soon ChatGPT users) can now prescribe their AI’s style and task by describing those directions in the “system” message. System messages allow API users to significantly customize their users’ experience within bounds. We will keep making improvements here (and particularly know that system messages are the easiest way to “jailbreak” the current model, i.e., the adherence to the bounds is not perfect), but we encourage you to try it out and let us know what you think.”

Q6. What are some limitations of GPT-4?

Answer. Despite its capabilities, GPT-4 has similar limitations as earlier GPT models. Most importantly, it still is not fully reliable (it “hallucinates” facts and makes reasoning errors).

Great care should be taken when using language model outputs, particularly in high-stakes contexts, with the exact protocol (such as human review, grounding with additional context, or avoiding high-stakes uses altogether) matching the needs of a specific use case.

Q7. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GPT-4 AND GPT-3.5?

Answer. GPT-3.5 takes only text prompts, whereas the latest version of the large language model can also use images as inputs to recognize objects in a picture and analyze them.

GPT-3.5 is limited to about 3,000-word responses, while GPT-4 can generate responses of more than 25,000 words.

GPT-4 is 82% less likely to respond to requests for disallowed content than its predecessor and scores 40% higher on certain tests of factuality.

It will also let developers decide their AI’s style of tone and verbosity.

For example, GPT-4 can assume a Socratic style of conversation and respond to questions with questions.

The previous iteration of the technology had a fixed tone and style. Soon ChatGPT users will have the option to change the chatbot’s tone and style of responses, OpenAI said.

Q8. WHAT ARE THE CAPABILITIES OF GPT-4?

Answer. The latest version has outperformed its predecessor in the U.S. bar exam and the Graduate Record Examination (GRE).

GPT-4 can also help individuals calculate their taxes, a demonstration by Greg Brockman, OpenAI’s president, showed.

The demo showed it could take a photo of a hand-drawn mock-up for a simple website and create a real one.

Be My Eyes, an app that caters to visually impaired people, will provide a virtual volunteer tool powered by GPT-4 on its app.

Q9.  WHAT ARE THE LIMITATIONS OF GPT-4?

Answer. According to OpenAI, GPT-4 has similar limitations as its prior versions and is
“less capable than humans in many real-world scenarios”.

Inaccurate responses known as “hallucinations” have been a challenge for many AI programs, including GPT-4.

OpenAI said GPT-4 can rival human propagandists in many domains, especially when teamed up with a human editor.

It cited an example where GPT-4 came up with suggestions that seemed plausible, when it was asked about how to get two parties to disagree with each other.

OpenAl Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman said GPT-4 was “most capable and aligned” with human values and intent, though “it is still flawed.”

GPT-4 generally lacks knowledge of events that occurred after September 2021, when the vast majority of its data was cut off. It also does not learn from experience.

Q10. WHO HAS ACCESS TO GPT-4?

Answer. While GPT-4 can process both text and image inputs, only the text-input feature will be available to ChatGPT Plus subscribers and software developers, with a waitlist, while the image-input ability is not publicly available yet.

The subscription plan, which offers faster response time and priority access to new features and improvements, was launched in February and costs $20 per month.

GPT-4 powers Microsoft’s Bing AI chatbot and some features on language learning platform Duolingo’s subscription tier.

Q11. What’s New in GPT-4?

Answer. GPT-4 is a new language model created by OpenAI that can generate text that is similar to human speech.

It advances the technology used by ChatGPT, which is currently based on GPT-3.5.

GPT is the acronym for Generative Pre-Trained Transformer, a deep learning technology that uses artificial neural networks to write like a human.

According to OpenAI, this next-generation language model is more advanced in three key areas: creativity, visual input, and longer context.

In terms of creativity, OpenAI says GPT-4 is much better at both creating and collaborating with users on creative projects.

Examples of these include music, screenplays, technical writing, and even “learning a user’s writing style.”

The longer context plays into this as well. GPT-4 can now process up to 25,000 words of text from the user.

You can even just send GPT-4 a web link and ask it to interact with the text from that page.

OpenAI says this can be helpful for the creation of long-form content, as well as “extended conversations.”

GPT-4 can also now receive images as a basis for interaction.

In the example provided on the GPT-4 website, the chatbot is given an image of a few baking ingredients and is asked what can be made with them.

It is not currently known if video can also be used in this same way.

OpenAI says it’s been trained with human feedback to make these strides, claiming to have worked with “over 50 experts for early feedback in domains including AI safety and security.”

As the first users have flocked to get their hands on it, we’re starting to learn what it’s capable of.

One user made GPT-4 create a working version of Pong in just sixty seconds, using a mix of HTML and JavaScript.

Q12. How to Use GPT-4?

Answer. The easiest way to get started with GPT-4 today is to try it out as part of Bing Chat.

Microsoft revealed that it’s been using GPT-4 in Bing Chat, which is free to use. Some GPT-4 features are missing from Bing Chat, however, such as visual input.

But you’ll still have access to that expanded LLM & the advanced intelligence that comes with it.

It should be noted that while Bing Chat is free, it is limited to 15 chats per session and 150 sessions per day.

The only other way to access GPT-4 right now is to upgrade to ChatGPT Plus.

To jump up to the $20 paid subscription, just click on “Upgrade to Plus” in the sidebar in ChatGPT.

Once you’ve entered your credit card information, you’ll be able to toggle between GPT-4 and older versions of the LLM.

You can even double-check that you’re getting GPT-4 responses since they use a black logo instead of the green logo used for older models.

From there, using GPT-4 is identical to using ChatGPT Plus with GPT-3.5. It’s more capable than ChatGPT and allows you to do things like fine-tune a dataset to get tailored results that match your needs.

Q13. What are Jobs taken Up by AI ?

Answer. The 20 jobs that will be taken up by AI
Prashanth Rangaswamy, a Twitter user, prompted GPT-4 to identify 20 current day jobs that it could replace.

He then asked the AI to plot the response in the form of ‘number, position, and human characteristic replace,’ and the result is literally shocking.

The 20 jobs that it can replace, in the order of how easy it will be for ChatGPT to replace, are:

* Data Entry Clerk
* Customer Service Representative
* Proofreader
* Paralegal
* Bookkeeper
* Translator
* Copywriter
* Market Research Analyst
* Social Media Manager
* Appointment Scheduler
* Telemarketer
* Virtual Assistant
* Transcriptionist
* News Reporter
* Travel Agent
* Tutor
* Technical Support Analyst
* Email Marketer
* Content Moderator
* Recruiter

Not only that, but GPT-4-enabled ChatGPT has also disclosed the human characteristics that it can replace in these positions.

These traits include speed and accuracy, communication and empathy, attention to detail, research and organization, mathematical skills, language proficiency, creativity and writing, analytical skills, content creation and curation, time management, persuasion and communication, multitasking and organization, listening and typing skills, fact-checking and writing, planning and coordination, knowledge and teaching, troubleshooting and problem-solving, writing and targeting, critical thinking and judgement, interviewing and assessment.

Recently, when OpenAI launched GPT-4 and demoed what all it was capable of, Twitter CEO Elon Musk put out a tweet, asking “What will be left for us people to do? We’d better get Neuralink going,”.

Q14. How AI started taking human jobs weeks before GPT-4 launch?

Answer. According to a recent poll of 1,000 business leaders conducted by Resumebuilder.com, roughly half of US businesses have adopted ChatGPT in their company in some way or the other, and have started to replace their workers with the AI chatbot, and either “release” them or resituate them within the company.

This was before OpenAI released GPT-4, so the number of businesses going for AI-based resources is only going to increase.

When Open AI released the enhanced edition of ChatGPT, which is powered by GPT-4, it was asked whether it ever considered how many jobs was it going to have an effect on.

However, OpenAI has stated that the AI chatbot cannot replace humans and is designed to assist people in their jobs.

Q15. Can you try GPT-4 right now?

Answer. GPT-4 has already been integrated into products like Duolingo, Stripe, and Khan Academy for varying purposes. While it’s yet to be made available for all for free, a $20 per month ChatGPT Plus subscription can fetch you immediate access.

The free tier of ChatGPT, meanwhile, continues to be based on GPT-3.5.

However, if you don’t wish to pay, then there’s an ‘unofficial’ way to begin using GPT-4 immediately.

Microsoft has confirmed that the new Bing search experience now runs on GPT-4 and you can access it from bing.com/chat right now.

Meanwhile, developers will gain access to GPT-4 through its API. A waitlist has been announced for API access, and it will begin accepting users later this month.

Q16. How is GPT-4 different from GPT-3?

Answer. GPT-4 can ‘see’ images now: The most noticeable change to GPT-4 is that it’s multimodal, allowing it to understand more than one modality of information. GPT-3 and ChatGPT’s GPT-3.5 were limited to textual input and output, meaning they could only read and write.

However, GPT-4 can be fed images and asked to output information accordingly. If this reminds you of Google Lens, then that’s understandable.

But Lens only searches for information related to an image. GPT-4 is a lot more advanced in that it understands an image and analyses it.

An example provided by OpenAI showed the language model explaining the joke in an image of an absurdly large iPhone connector. The only catch is that image inputs are still a research preview and are not publicly available.

GPT-4 is harder to trick: One of the biggest drawbacks of generative models like ChatGPT and Bing is their propensity to occasionally go off the rails, generating prompts that raise eyebrows, or worse, downright alarm people. They can also get facts mixed up and produce misinformation.

OpenAl says that it spent 6 months training GPT-4 using lessons from its “adversarial testing program” as well as ChatGPT, resulting in the company’s “best-ever results on factuality, steerability, and refusing to go outside of guardrails.”

GPT-4 can process a lot more information at a time: Large Language

Models (LLMs) may have been trained on billions of parameters, which means countless amounts of data, but there are limits to how much information they can process in a conversation. ChatGPT’s GPT-3.5 model could handle 4,096 tokens or around 8,000 words but GPT-4 pumps those numbers up to 32,768 tokens or around 64,000 words.

This increase means that where ChatGPT could process 8,000 words at a time before it started to lose track of things, GPT-4 can maintain its integrity over way lengthier conversations. It can also process lengthy documents and generate long-form content – something that was a lot more limited on GPT-3.5.

GPT-4 has an improved accuracy: OpenAI admits that GPT-4 has similar limitations as previous versions – it’s still not fully reliable and makes reasoning errors. However, “GPT-4 significantly reduces hallucinations relative to previous models” and scores 40 per cent higher than GPT-3.5 on factuality evaluations. It will be a lot harder to trick GPT-4 into producing undesirable outputs such as hate speech and misinformation.

GPT-4 is better at understanding languages that are not English: Machine learning data is mostly in English, as is most of the information on the internet today, so training LLMs in other languages can be challenging.

But GPT-4 is more multilingual and OpenAl has demonstrated that it outperforms GPT-3.5 and other LLMs by accurately answering thousands of multiple-choice across 26 languages. It obviously handles English best with an 85.5 per cent accuracy, but Indian languages like Telugu aren’t too far behind either, at 71.4 per cent.

What this means is that users will be able to use chatbots based on GPT-4 to produce outputs with greater clarity and higher accuracy in their native languages.

Now, in its second generation, the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 claims a host of improvements over its predecessor and brings the 7 series of non-flagship chips closer to its Snapdragon 8 series of flagship chips.

Qualcomm on Friday unveiled the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 as the company’s latest mobile platform for mid-range smartphones. This is the first addition to the Snapdragon 7-series since the debut of the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 last year.

The newly announced chipset is claimed to offer over 50 percent improved performance compared to its predecessor, while offering a 13 percent improvement in power efficiency.
The Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 also features auto variable rate shading (VRS) for gaming, support for 200-megapixel cameras, and Qualcomm’s aptX Lossless codec.

AI performance per Watt over the previous generation is claimed to be improved by 40 percent, and the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 also lets users upscale game scenes or photos with a new AI Super Resolution feature.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 Specifications

Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2

To begin with, the core configuration of Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 is in line with what the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC offered — it gets one Cortex-X2 performance core clocked at 2.91GHz, three Cortex-A710 bulk cores clocked at 2.49GHz, and four Cortex-A510 efficiency cores clocked at 1.8GHz.

The clock speeds differ from what the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 offered, but the overall configuration is considerably closer to the latter.

As a result, Qualcomm claims a bunch of improvements in almost all possible metrics. These include an overall improvement of 50 percent over the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1, and 15 percent greater single-core performance on the Geekbench benchmark over a competing chipset that Qualcomm did not specify.

In terms of graphics abilities, Qualcomm claimed that the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 SoC features a 2x more powerful GPU that will offer a significant jump in the graphics abilities of sub-flagship-grade Android smartphones.

This translates into 25 percent higher benchmark scores for graphics tests and 65 percent higher scores in Geekbench’s 1080p stress tests.

GPU capabilities are further augmented by features such as auto variable-rate shading, volumetric rendering, AI super rendering, and Adreno Frame Motion Engine, among others.

Finally, you get better AI capabilities too, with a 2x more powerful AI engine that delivers 40 percent more AI performance per watt.

All of this comes in a 13 percent more power-efficient package, with the chip being based on TSMC’s 4nm process instead of Samsung’s.

Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 Phones Launch Timeline and Prices

According to Qualcomm during a press briefing session, the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 SoC will feature in phones launching this month itself.

Xiaomi group’s Redmi, and BBK’s Realme, are two China-based brands that are confirmed to be using the chip soon. According to Android Authority, smartphones based on this chip could be priced between $400-600, or around Rs 30,000 to Rs 50,000.

FAQ’s on Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2Soc

1) What are the devices which have Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Chip ?

Ans) iQ00 11 for gaming enthusiasts

If you are looking for a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2-based phone primarily for gaming, we suggest the iQ00 11 over its contemporaries.

Sony WH-CH720N headphones

HIGHLIGHTS

* Sony WH-CH720N is a replacement to the mid-range CH710N headphones.
* The new pair offers similar specifications of audio and features.
* However, it is significantly lighter than before.

Sony India has announced the launch of a new pair of headphones in India that will replace the outgoing WH-CH710N mid-entry level pair of active noise cancellation headphones.

Called Sony WH-CH720N, the headphones are the next generation of Sony’s third tier of over-ear headphones — after the flagship 1000X series and the mid-premium 900 series of headphones.

While Sony also launches an ‘XB’ labelled ‘Extra Bass’ pair of headphones simultaneous to the ‘CH’ line, the latest launch caters to those who prefer a more balanced sound output, and not extra bass.

Today, Sony announced the WH-CH720N wireless noise-canceling headphones in India. The new headphones feature superior noise-canceling, a Digital Sound Enhancement Engine (DSEE), Dual Noise Sensor technology, Sony’s Integrated Processor V1 chip, and other features.

Sony WH-CH720N headphones

The Sony WH-CH720N has 30mm dynamic drivers, Dual Noise Sensor technology, an Integrated Processor V1, and other features that advance noise cancellation.

The newly created wind noise reduction structure around the microphone in the new headphones reduces background noise. Through the Sony Headphones Connect app, you can also choose between 20 different levels of ambient sound.

There is a multipoint Bluetooth connection, DSEE, and the Precise Voice Pickup Technology uses four beamforming microphones and an AI-based noise reduction algorithm to isolate your voice precisely.

The 192 g headphones are advertised as being the lightest overhead wireless ANC headphones made by Sony.

With ANC turned on, you can get a playback of up to 35 hours, and without it, up to 50 hours. Additionally, a 3-minute quick charge can extend your battery life by up to 60 minutes.

Sony WH-CH720N Specifications

Key Features

Sony WH-CH720N headphones

The key takeaway is the lightweight design of the Sony WH-CH720N, which Sony says in a media release is its lightest ever over-ear headphone design with active noise cancellation. The headphones are rated to weigh 192 grams, while the CH710N predecessor weighed 223 grams.

Despite this, the features have remained the same. The Sony WH-CH720N features dual noise sensors and the V1 noise processor for 20 levels of customisable active noise cancellation that can be adjusted through Sony’s Headphones Connect mobile app.

This also enables an active ambient sound mode, and automatic adjustment of the noise cancellation levels based on a user’s surroundings.

Users will also get Sony’s signature DSEE audio upscaling engine, while the closed 30mm dynamic drivers remain the same as its predecessors.

Instead of Bluetooth 5.0, the new CH720N headphones are powered by Bluetooth 5.2 — however, the codecs and audio formats supported by the headphones remain the same. It also gets beamforming microphones for clearer audio calls.

While the audio frequency support remains the same, the Sony WH-CH720N appears to offer higher impedance of 320 ohm, although it isn’t clear why this would be the case.

Airtel unlimited 5G data offer rolling out for prepaid and postpaid users in India: Here’s how you can claim the unlimited 5G data for free

Airtel

HIGHLIGHTS

* Like Jio, Airtel is also offering unlimited 5G data to prepaid and postpaid users.
* This offer is applicable to all prepaid customers who are using unlimited plans starting from Rs 239.
* The offer is available on the Airtel Thanks app on Android and iOS.
* This offer is available for all Airtel postpaid as well as prepaid plans.
* Airtel 5G Plus is now available in about 270 Indian cities.

Airtel is offering unlimited 5G data to prepaid and postpaid users across the country, in a move to take on Jio’s 5G Welcome Offer.

Both Airtel and Jio are expanding their 5G network at a fast pace across the country in major metros and towns.

Both telcos are yet to roll out dedicated 5G recharge plans but are offering 5G data on existing 4G recharge plans.

While Jio has its unlimited 5G mobile data offer under the ‘Welcome Offer’, Airtel today rolled out its own unlimited 5G data offer at no extra cost, and here are the details.

Airtel has launched a new unlimited 5G data for its prepaid and postpaid users. The company has announced that it is removing capping on data usage on all existing plans.

In simpler terms, there is now no limit on 5G data usage and this offer is available for all postpaid as well as prepaid plans that are priced at Rs 239 and above.

The Airtel 5G users now don’t have to worry about the data limits or daily data quota.

Airtel 4G Internet Balance

“Unlimited 5G Data offer is an introductory offer for Airtel customers to experience the power of 5G. Airtel customers on eligible plans who have 5G-enabled devices and have latched onto the Airtel 5G Plus network can now enjoy unlimited 5G Data,” the company said.

Airtel 5G Plus is now available in about 270 Indian cities, which is something that the company is claiming. Though, it is way behind Reliance Jio as this telecom company says that it has rolled out 5G network in 365 cities in India.

Jio promised that it will make 5G available across the country by the end of 2023. Airtel, on the other hand, announced that it will release it in all cities by March 2024.

It is worth pointing out that Reliance Jio is already offering unlimited 5G data as part of its “Jio 5G Welcome” offer. This is available only on Jio prepaid or postpaid plans that cost Rs 239 or above. A few weeks back, the telecom giant also launched a ‘5G Upgrade’ data plan with a price of Rs 61.

Airtel recharge plans

Airtel customers just need to open the company’s Airtel Thanks app to claim the “Unlimited 5G Data” offer. The banner for it will be visible on the main page and in other areas.

It is important to note that one will be able to use unlimited 5G data only in 5G network areas. For prepaid customers, unlimited 5G Data will work until the validity of the pack. For postpaid customers, it’s valid until their next bill generation.

“We are obsessed with delighting our customers with best-in-class products and services. This introductory offer is in line with the philosophy of wanting our customers to be able to surf, stream, chat and enjoy multiple benefits at blazing speeds without having to worry about data limits. We hope our customers enjoy the power of world-class Airtel 5G Plus,” said Shashwat Sharma, Director of Consumer Business, Bharti Airtel.

Airtel 5G Unlimited Data Offer now Available

Airtel Main Balance

Airtel is offering unlimited 5G data to its prepaid and postpaid customers for free right now. Airtel users can claim this offer through the Airtel Thanks app on Android and iOS, much like how Jio users claim the Welcome Offer through the MyJio app.

* Firstly, this offer is applicable to all prepaid customers who recharge their number with any unlimited plan starting from Rs 239. It is also available for all postpaid users.
* Users need to head to the Airtel Thanks app, where they will see a banner on the home screen that says, “Claim Unlimited 5G data”.

Airtel-5G-data

* Eligibility: Do note the offer is applicable in areas where Airtel 5G is available and on 5G-enabled phones with the required OTA update. As said, they have to do a minimum recharge of Rs 239 (unlimited plan).That’s how you can claim Airtel 5G unlimited data and experience the fastest network speeds. Did you receive the offer yet?

How to Avail the Unlimited 5G Data Offer

Airtel Thanks app

Airtel customers can simply use Airtel Thanks App and claim the Unlimited 5G Data offer. Airtel 5G Plus service is available to customers in over 270 cities in the country, and Airtel says it is rapidly expanding the services, including the remotest towns and villages.

Airtel is working towards offering nationwide 5G coverage to cover every town and key rural areas by the end of March 2024.

Alleged Google Pixel 7a prototype goes on sale on eBay with a hefty price tag for five times its retail price

Google Pixel 7

HIGHLIGHTS

* The alleged Pixel 7a prototype appeared for sale on eBay before launch.
* The seller initially tried to sell the prototype for $5,000 (approx Rs 4,12,482.50).
* The Google Pixel 7a is expected to be unveiled at the Google I/O 2023.

Google plans to unveil the Google Pixel 7a in the coming months. A recent report indicated that the smartphone would be unveiled at the company’s upcoming Google I/O 2023 event.

Well ahead of the official launch though, an alleged Google Pixel 7a prototype was spotted on eBay with an initial selling price of a whopping $5,000 (approx Rs 4,12,482.50).

The seller goes by the name “nikoskom-94” and was first spotted by tipster Debayan Roy. As of writing this story, the sale on eBay has ended as the product is no longer available.

This listing for what’s supposedly a Pixel 7a shows it has previously hinted-at twin 12-MP cameras, 8GB of RAM and 128GB of memory.

An eBay user spent more than $2,500 for what might be Google’s upcoming mid-range phone, a device that by the seller’s admission doesn’t even work.

Whatever you think of the sale, it at least means we’re getting a few more pictures of the alleged Pixel 7a that could be hitting store shelves in just three month’s time.

Google Pixel 7a Prototype on eBay

Google Pixel 7a

The Pixel 7a device that was sold on eBay had a design similar to what the actual Pixel 7a will look like based on several leaks and rumours, but with one difference – the branding. Google’s “G” logo appears on the rear of Pixel devices, but this prototype contains a logo that looks more like a Pac-Man silhouette.

The listing on eBay showed that the seller tried to sell the prototype device for USD 5,000, but no one was interested in the price. So, the seller brought it all the way down to a starting bid of USD 1,650 (approx Rs 1,36,123.35). To keep things in perspective, the Pixel 7a’s rumoured price is said to be under USD 500 (approx Rs 41,000), as per a GizmoChina report.

As per the eBay listing, the Pixel 7a prototype is not functional and there’s no SIM tray. It goes into fastboot mode but the buyer could probably make it work. This Google Pixel 7a has 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage, as per the listing.

Google Pixel 7a Launch Timeline, Specifications

Google Pixel 7a

A recent report says the Google Pixel 7a will likely be unveiled at the Google I/O 2023 on May 10th. Like the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro, the Google Pixel 7a will likely have a punch-hole screen and a rectangular strip-shaped camera island at the top of the back panel.

The smartphone is expected to have a 6.1-inch FHD+ OLED screen with a refresh rate of 90Hz and a cutout in the middle for the front-facing camera. It will probably sport a dual rear camera setup, comprising a 64MP Sony IMX787 main sensor and a 12MP secondary camera.
