Similar to the LYF F1, the LYF F1 Plus also supports 4G LTE bands in India along with VoLTE connectivity. The device comes with a 5.5-inch full-HD 1080p display with Corning Gorilla Glass 4 and runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow. It is a dual-SIM device, but it supports 4G connectivity on one SIM at a time.
Reliance Lyf devices are sold through Reliance Digital, Digital Express, and its official website. It has nearly 3,245 stores under Reliance Digital, Digital Express, and Digital Express Mini brands. This wide presence across the country with the largest retail chain under its reign has also driven Reliance Jio to launch Lyf. The company has further established connections with many mobile retailers and e-commerce websites.
The phone is powered by a 1.6GHz octa-core processor clubbed with 3GB of RAM. It comes with 32GB of internal storage, which can be further expanded up to 128GB via microSD card. There is a 16-megapixel rear camera with LED flash onboard paired with an 8-megapixel front-facing camera. Other connectivity options include 4G LTE (Cat. 4), 3G, Wi-Fi, GPRS/ EDGE, GPS, Bluetooth, and Micro-USB. A 3200mAh battery backs the LYF F1 Plus.
