The incident was captured on video and shows the smartphone completely burnt.
Just as we put behind the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 nightmare, news of a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 smartphone exploding has filtered in. The blast occurred in Bengaluru, and surprisingly, it was not at home, but at a store. The blast was captured on camera. This is the first such case of a Redmi Note 4 smartphone exploding though previously, other Xiaomi smartphones have been in news for randomly bursting into fire. The video in question was captured on the CCTV inside the store.

In the video uploaded by Phone Radar on YouTube, the entire blast is clearly seen. BGR India received a tip regarding the incident from a Twitter user but could not verify the authenticity of the video and has reached out to Xiaomi India for comment. Xiaomi responded by saying, “At Xiaomi, customer safety is of utmost importance to us. We have reached out to the customer to investigate this matter, and are awaiting further response.”

As per an initial report by TechCase, the Bengaluru resident purchased the Redmi Note 4 and visited a nearly local store for inserting SIM into the device. The video shows exactly how the blast occurs. Arjun, the owner of the smartphone hands over the phone to the shop boy. As soon as he tries to open the SIM slot for inserting the card, the phone instantly bursts into flames.
The phone is in the man’s hand as it bursts into flames. The phone continues to be engulfed in flames for a few moments before those in the store rushed to put the fire out. The video shows the device completely destroyed. There has been no word on any injury to the store owner as he held the device in his hands when the blast occurred. The incident took place on July 17, but Xiaomi India is yet to reach out to the owner, suggests the TechCase report. The owner has since then filed a report against the manufacturer at the nearest police station in Bengaluru.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* JioPhone will come with exciting data plans
* Voice calls will always be free on the JioPhone, Ambani said
* The company also announced two sachets for data usage

With the JioPhone finally launched, there is a lot of excitement in the market to see whether the handset would be emulate the success of the Reliance Jio telecom venture. A lot of the attention is being bestowed upon the "effective price" of Rs. 0 that Mukesh Ambani announced at the event, which - coupled with the features that the Jio phone boasts of - makes it a deal worth checking out for all feature phone users. But that's not all, as the company also launched a dedicated Rs. 153 Jio plan for JioPhone buyers that provides them all the benefits of the plans released for smartphones, but at roughly half the price.

The new Rs. 153 Jio recharge pack with 28-day validity offers unlimited 4G Internet access; high-speed Internet is limited to 500MB per day, after which the speed would drop. SMSs, and calls are free on the network with this pack, and users will also get access to Jio apps. The plan should be available to purchase on August 15 for beta testers of the device.

Jio Phone TV-Cable
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Rs. 153 plan, however, was not the only one announced for the Jio phone - there is another plan that comes with a bundled accessory. The accessory is the JioPhone-TV Cable, which can mirror content playing on apps such as JioTV and JioCinema on the phone onto a TV. This cable will be play to play videos on both modern and legacy CRT television sets. Subscribers of Jio Dhan Dhana Dhan Plan, who pay Rs. 309 every month, will be able to use the service via the Jio Phone TV-Cable.

In addition, Mukesh Ambani also announced two sachets - available at Rs. 24 for two days of data usage, and Rs. 54 for a week-worth use - that JioPhone users could opt for should they need additional data or data just for a limited period time.

Of course, you will have to wait for August 24 to be able to pre-book a JioPhone using the MyJio app or from a Jio retailer, and the handset won't go on sale till September. Though introduced as free of cost, you will need to pay an upfront price of Rs. 1,500 to get your hands on the device, though this sum is refundable at the end of three years.
