Reliance will soon launch a qwerty keyboard style phone called the JioPhone 2 this handset looks somewhat like the BlackBerry phone. This handset is running KAI OS and does support VoLTE. Price in India is Rs. 2,999.
The Reliance JioPhone 2 features a 2.4 inch screen with QVGA resolution, it comes with dual SIM slot, supports VoLTE, there is 512MB RAM and 4GB ROM, other features are FM radio, Bluetooth, GPS and Wi-Fi comes built in. There is NFC too.
Users can use micro SD card of up to 128GB. On the front there is a VGA camera and on the back you will find a 2MP camera. Reliance JioPhone 2 will go on sale on I guess on 15th August for Rs. 2,999.
Not good enough
useless
If you remember, already they had Rs 2799 LYF android phone in sep 2016,
but failed due to extremely poor hardware
and display.
Jjio always surprises consumers.
I bought ivoomi me4 for 2999Rs which have 4g,VoLTE, wifi hotspot etc. So this doesn’t seems a good deal. Jio should provide wifi hotspot feature in its 1500rs model. Then it maybe a good deal.
Kyu paise barbad kar rahe ho?
15 august sale me 1GB+8GB android 4G mobile mil jayega
Flipkart amazon etc. Se
Wo bhi sirf 2499 me. Jiophone 2 Flopppp!!!
It’s like déjà vu . First number keypad, then qwerty, then 3.5 touch., 4.0 touch and etc.
RETURN OF CHINESE PHONE . 😋 😂😂
for around 2.5k its a great deal. otherwise no. u can get smartphones at that price. i am currently using bharat 1 which seems to still give competition to this new launch due to its price. also specs are almost the same but bharat has android. so u choose 🙂
Maybe as a 2nd phone. Does kaios have apps like whatsapp, uber, facebook etc yet? without at least those, the purchase becomes a tough decision.
Yes whatsApp & YouTube on JioPhone will be available from 15th Aug 2018.
From 15th Aug onwards to install, long press centre button and say “Jio Store” on Hello Jio, select the desired app and click on Install.”
But no info regarding uber and other third part apps, hope this helps…
thank you for that info. 🙂 Definitely will buy this as a second phone.
Google has invested $4 Million in KaiOS Team. They are working on to integrate Lite and Go apps from Android Store to KaiOS.
Soon we can expect liter and Go version of apps to come to KaiOS.
Gogi Ji, when Jio DTH is going to launch ????
Any idea about Jio DTH launching date ????
There is no dth in Jio, they have IP based tv services, they will install a jio set top box along with jio giga router.
Krishna, if you searched on google regarding launching of Jio DTH, you will find that Jio is going to launch its DTH service in September or October. Its DTH recharge plans are 20-30% cheaper as compared to other DTH service providers. Also, at starting, the customer will get all channels free for 3 or 4 months.
KaiOS got WhatsApp atlast?
Bad move
Does it have WiFi Hotspot ?
Not sure, but will need to check that, also not specifically mentioned. Will need to wait for the specs to list on the Jio official website.
Hi Gogi,
Any idea about Hot spot?
