The handset, which has been introduced as “India’s Smartphone” and launched at “Effective Price” 0 (However, buyers will have to pay an upfront demand of Rs 1,500 for refundable, default). Due to the high cost associated with the smartphone, Jio phone will be crucial for the company to tap 50 million features expected not to be able to be included in the 4G dynamic device.
Although Reliance Jio started in India in September, the offer of the company has been restricted to smartphone users as it is a 4G network only, and phones have to support VoLTE technology, which usually not found on the basic phone.

Jiophone Features and Specifications
JaiPhone was introduced by Akash and Isha Ambani, which shows the speed of the phone’s voice, with standard feature phone functionality. Isha Ambani said that it was familiar with the phone design, to ensure that it is easy to use. The phone includes many apps and browsers, which are different from the ones offered. At the stage, we saw a glimpse of what Jio Browser, Facebook, and Prime Minister Modi Mann Ki Baat broadcast.
To allow tap and payment solutions with a linked bank account, the Company will also be adding NFC support to the JioPhone said by the Akash Ambani. It will support the payments of the UPI, and debit and credit card, like Samsung Pay, he said. It is also confirmed by the company that the phone will have the 2.4-inch display, panic button, expandable storage and FM radio, and some include other features.
Mukesh Ambani said that there are 78 million mobile phones in India. “However, in 78 crores, more than 50 crores feature phones have been left to the phone users who have been left out, they can neither buy cheap LTE smartphones nor take huge data costs.”
They said, “Data is the oxygen of digital life, and no Indian should suffer due to ineffectiveness.” “Sadly, most mobile users are starved of data. That injustice should end, and Jio is ready to end it.”
The company needs to be delivered on three pillars, to complete this, Ambani said – connectivity, data capability, and device capability. “Joe is a strong stock network created from the gate up to the internet,” he said. ” TRAI speed test portal has consistently shown Jio as the 4G network leader in the coverage, usage and data speeds.”
“Our network is expanding rapidly,” he said. India’s 4G coverage will include 99 percent of the population in the next 12 months; it will be more than it’s 2G coverage. “to meet the capacity of the device, the company felt that it would have to release the 4G VoLTE feature phone, because the price of entry-level smartphones is between Rs 3,000 and Rs 4,500, Ambani said.
