JioPhone to Launch Next Quarter

As per a report shared by the Economic Times, Reliance Jio is all set to bring back its feature 4G mobile, JioPhone to the Indian market. For the unaware, earlier this year the device was pulled out of the market by Jio. The company said that it is facing issues with sourcing components for the device.

But now, Jio has partnered with a new supplier and shook hands with a contract manufacturer Flex for making its feature 4G device again. JioPhone was launched back in 2018 in India. It was priced at Rs 1,500.

Given its low pricing and support for 4G network and connectivity, it quickly became a hit amongst the people in the low-income class of India. Because of JioPhone, Reliance Jio became the largest mobile selling company in the country. But when things were going good for the company, because of component scarcity, Jio had to halt its production.
