Reliance Jio took India by storm when it announced the Jio Phone at its Annual General Meeting earlier this year. The most exciting thing about this 4G & VoLTE-enabled feature phone is that it is effectively free, because you only need to pay a deposit of Rs. 1,500 which can be returned to you after three years. Reliance opened pre-bookings of the Jio Phone back in August, with deliveries set to start from September 21. We finally managed to get our hands on a Jio Phone and here are our first impressions.
- Dual Core Processor 1.2Ghz with 512MB Ram
- 4GB Internal Storage and Expandable Memory Chip upto 128GB.
- 4G VoLTE Network, Nano SIM Slot and memory chip slot.
- Screen Size is 2.4 inches (240x320 pixels).
- 2MP primary camera, VGA front camera.
- 2000 mAh removable battery.
- 3.5mm headphone socket, micro usb socket for charging.
- Running on KaiOS with preinstalled apps i.e. JioMusic, JioTV, JioCinema and more.
- Expected to get Facebook and Youtube apps.
- Jio phone has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth along with geolocation.
After reviewing lots of smartphones, the Jio Phone feels completely different. It is a feature phone and is built like a standard candybar with a small screen and numeric keypad. It is small and very comfortable to hold; your thumb can reach all corners of the keypad without the need to stretch. Considering its price, we must say that this phone feels well-built. The quality of plastic used is good and the rubber buttons offer good clicky feedback.
