JioPhone Next was recently launched in India and has been built in partnership between Jio and Google. The JioPhone Next is a 4G smartphone that is aimed at 2G users to give them a taste of the super-fast 4G LTE connectivity and is an entry-level phone.
As per an estimate, there are over 300 million feature phone users in India and the JioPhone Next is targeted at those first-time smartphone users. Since its launch, Reliance has revealed most of the details about the JioPhone Next but its price was something that most people were waiting for which only got revealed at the end of October.
