The JioPhone’s trial run will start on August 15th and it will go on pre-booking starting August 24th. Since the phone is a basic device, there is not much to its spec sheet. With some impressive features and support for 4G VoLTE, Reliance is aiming to bridge the digital divide with its ‘India ka smartphone ‘.
It comes with a 2.4-inch color display, a T9 keypad, a textured back panel and a dedicated Torchlight, plus support for voice commands. Besides these, it also offers NFC for digital payments, support for 22 Indian languages and an FM radio.
Conclusion:
Of course, there are many more phones that will be making their way to India in the month of August. From Galaxy Note 8 to Jio Phone, it’s quite an interesting lineup.
