Reliance Jio is all set to launch
feature phones with VoLTE support soon. The phone has shortcut keys for MyJio, Jio Live TV, Jio video
and Jio Music below the display.
The phone has T9 keypad and D-pad in the middle,
just like any other feature phone and doesn’t have a touchscreen. It also has a
dedicated button for torchlight. Maker of this feature phone is not known yet.
Currently we don’t have any specifications of the phone.
According to recent reports, Jio will launch these
VoLTE-enabled feature phones starting at Rs. 999 that will run on Android
operating system. Earlier reports said that capability to make VoLTE calls in
these feature phones will be enabled by Spreadtrum chips, and Jio is in talks
with Qualcomm and MediaTek.
Since Jio plans start as low as Rs. 149 per month
offering unlimited calls, this will be useful for those who make a lot of calls
and need a cheap phone with a keypad.
