so what's the current status of rcs on samsung's own sms app. samsung community seems to indicate that jio and vodafone has support for it. airtel is not supported so can't check at my end.
 
True

My Samsung A8+ which earlier displayed Chat settings (when Jio sim was in Sim 1) in Samsung Messages app does not show this setting when only Idea Sim is inserted at Sim 1.
It means it only works with Jio sim, and Jio sim should be in Sim 1.

i am quite happy with google's sms app. but this is nice. most people tend to use the sms app that came with their phones. getting them to switch to messages to enable rcs is not always helpful. i hope mi and other chinese players would also add support though seems unlikely. is mi switching to google messages app as default sms app in newer devices? i remember reading something about this.

Mi is doing it for their Global/EU devices only. Indian variants still come with their own apps.

I think Realme is doing it here. Their newer devices comes with Google Phone and Messages app.

I can confirm that two Poco devices, X3 and M2 have Google messages and Google dialer as default app.
For Realme, it's same. New phones come with Google apps.
Can't comment on Redmi or other devices. Seems like the deal is only for the newly and henceforth launched devices. Older phones would still have Mi dialer and msgs app.

My J7 2016 got its support back in 2017. It seems to work only with Jio. And yes, it is enabled by default if your phone and operator supports it.

i have rcs on samsung messages app now and i am able to communicate with nishant who has google messages.

samsung's app however does not show any indication whether your message is being sent through rcs or not. editor remains same for both rcs and sms. there is a chat option that appears in message context menu. but nothing in editor or message screen.
