The ZenFone 5Z, a flagship smartphone released by ASUS back in 2018, is a pretty old device now yet still somewhat regularly receives software updates from its maker. Recently, an update which brings Wi-Fi Calling (VoWiFi) support on Reliance Jio has been rolled out, which is a function that the device lacked in the past.

These might sound like small changes but something that many users in India and the U.S. will be happy to see.

The Indian telecom sector is in a tight spot right now, as two of the three major telecoms stare at an uncertain future. The show must go on, however.

[Update: Mumbai, Kolkata, and more] Airtel launches VoWiFi in Delhi/NCR, to be rolled out all over India soon
Airtel has now launched the VoWiFi service in Delhi/NCR allowing users to seamlessly switch between LTE and WiFi connections for voice calls when indoors.
It's no doubt that both Airtel and Vodafone are struggling right now. Not only have the companies been facing the worst quarterly losses in the telecom sector's history, but they have also racked up a massive liability. Earlier this month, Bharti Airtel's board approved a fundraising plan for $3 Billion for "any future payouts" including AGR liabilities as well as debt refinancing. Out of the $3 Billion, $1 Billion will be raised through debt, while the other $2 Billion will be raised by issuing additional equity shares. In a bid to attract more users to its platform and counteract the massive losses, Airtel has now launched its VoWiFi services in Delhi/NCR.
