Also this week, we had the launch of the LG Stylus 2 Plus in India.

There's also been a video sighting of an iPhone 7 - the release is drawing closer and the leaks are springing up as usual; expect more details in the coming weeks.

Nintendo meanwhile doubled down and after the resounding success of Pokemon Go and announced the NES Classic Edition, a revamped NES console for $59.99 (around Rs. 4,000) which will come with 30 classic games. The system won't get any extra games, but the 30 games you will get are Nintendo's most famous classics, so this sounds like a retro lover's dream come true.

Aside from that, Facebook has some fun news - Maneka Gandhi met with the Twitter team to curb harassment of women online. Everyone knows about Twitter's trolling problem, but is government intervention a solution?

Potentially huge news from the telecom world - Google's Project Fi rolls out for its data services in 135 new countries. US-based s of Project Fi can now benefit from much faster international data speeds, and as this rollout steadily continues it's going to disrupt existing telecom businesses.

In India, Rs. 93 for 10GB 4G data Reliance Jio is supposed to offer, but ut's definitely a welcome move.

Airtel was also in the news this week, though not for anything good - there's a suspicion that Airtel is sniffing and censoring Cloudflare traffic in India. The telco has denied this entirely, and stated that blocking of any page is only done at the URL level, while CloudFlare never responded to Gadgets 360's queries on the subject.

Samsung meanwhile has tied up with Reliance Jio, and customers with select Samsung smartphones can now get a free Reliance Jio SIM and three months of free 4G data. This is Reliance's first tie up with a manufacturer (outside of its own brand Lyf) and reports suggest that more such announcements are in the pipeline.
