The phone is a basic feature phone but is 100% 4G compatible and supports 22 major languages. The phone can be operated on your voice command and one can use the keyboard even while speaking to the phone.
The phone features a 2.4 QVGA display along with an alphanumeric keypad. The phone supports a micro SD card slot and comes pre-loaded with JioMusic, JioCinema and JioTV.
The JioPhone lets users watch their favourite TV content, Live TV, movies, educational programs and mirror their phone on their TV screen.
This is made possible through JioPhone TV cable, an affordable cable, which specifically connects the phone to not only a smart TV, but an old CRT TV as well. The phone also has FM radio, torch light and other such features.
