Reliance Jio continues to roll out new offers, with price cuts for its 1GB per day data plans. The 28 day plan has been cut from Rs. 199 to Rs. 149, while the 70 day plan has gone from Rs. 399 to Rs. 349. The Jio 459 and Jio 499 plans with validity of 84 and 91 days respectively, have dropped to Rs. 399 and Rs. 449. Jio also unveiled a bunch of data plans with 1.5GB data per day.
The new 1.5GB data per day plans are priced at Rs. 198, Rs. 398, Rs. 448, and Rs. 498. These are old the price points of the 1GB data per day plans, meaning consumers are essentially getting 50 percent more data at roughly the same price.
| Price | Validity | Total data (1.5GB/day) |
|---|---|---|
| Rs. 198 | 28 days | 42GB |
| Rs. 398 | 70 days | 105GB |
| Rs. 448 | 84 days | 126GB |
| Rs. 498 | 91 days | 136GB |

Earlier, Airtel's Rs. 399 plan had a 28 day validity. Aside from this, Airtel also updated its Rs. 448 and Rs. 509 plans, raising the validity from 70 days to 82 days, and from 84 days to 91 days, respectively.

With Jio and Airtel cutting prices, Vodafoneresponded by increasing the data and validity for its Rs. 458 and Rs. 509 plans.

Internationally, the big news of course was CES 2018, the annual tech event that's held in Las Vegas. If you like smartphones, CES is not the event for you though we did get the launch of two new smartphones from Sony, the Xperia XA2 and Xperia XA2 Ultra. Both phones are powered by the Snapdragon 630 processor - the key difference is that the Ultra is larger, with a dual-selfie camera setup. The Ultra also has more RAM, 4GB compared to 3GB on the XA2. Check out our first impression of the duo from the CES show floor.
