やはり気になる「スマホの発熱」/auが「3GB+5分以内かけ放題」プランをリリース しかし……:Mobile Weekly Top10

It's not good to cool a hot smartphone with running water!

Continuing from the previous time, this time as well, an article summarizing the reasons why smartphones become "hot" and what you should not do when it gets hot ranked first in the number of accesses. I wonder if there are many people who are suffering from the heat of their smartphones ...

As mentioned in this article, if you want to cool your smartphone in a hurry, we recommend using a fan or circulator. Alternatively, use a heat-dissipating material that is used at room temperature (without pre-cooling), which is introduced in another article.

The special page for au's new plan "Smartphone Start Plan (Flat)" is on the campaign site ...

The second place in the number of accesses was an article about "Smartphone Start Plan (Flat)" that au (KDDI and Okinawa Cellular Telephone) started offering from August 6th.

This smartphone start plan (flat) is available for 5G terminals and 4G LTE terminals, but the plan settings are the same for both. Monthly data communication capacity of 3GB and domestic calls within 5 minutes per call are included free of charge. The monthly charge including tax is 2288 yen, but since the "Smartphone Start 1 Year Discount" of 1188 yen per month is applied for one year from the month following the contract, you can use it for 1100 yen per month in the first year. Furthermore, if you pay the fee with an "au PAY card", the monthly fee is 990 yen for the first year.

It's not surprising that "990 yen per month" is a rival to SoftBank's "LINEMO" mini-plan, but if you look closely, not everyone can subscribe to this plan. Specifically, you cannot make a contract unless one of the following conditions is met.

We do not support plan changes for pure new subscribers or those who are already using 5G / 4G LTE smartphones. Furthermore, this plan is not on the list of rate plans and is featured on the campaign page. In other words, it's a campaign plan.

I don't deny getting users with discounts that apply only for a year or two from the contract, but it seems controversial whether that's a good thing from a "user's perspective."
