Next Week, you may get the JioPhone Next for as little as Rs. 500; here's how.
Reliance Jio collaborated with Google to introduce the JioPhone Next in India in June. On September 10, the firm plans to debut the handset in India as the cheapest 4G-enabled smartphone. Although prior speculations claimed that the gadget would cost Rs 3,499, current sources claim that Reliance will offer the device in India for Rs 5,000. Customers who are interested in purchasing the JioPhone Next may do so for as little as Rs. 500.

For only Rs. 500, you can have the JioPhone Next!


According to an ET Now story, Reliance will offer two versions of the JioPhone Next. One will be the JioPhone Next Basic, which will cost Rs. 5,000, and the other will be the JioPhone Next Advance, which will cost Rs. 10,000. It will set you back Rs. 7,000.

Furthermore, Reliance plans to sell at least 50 million copies of the gadget in the next six months, according to reports. As a consequence, the telecom behemoth has allegedly formed partnerships with the State Bank of India, DMI Finance, IDFC First Assure, and Piramal Capital, among others. These banks want to take advantage of the chance and pull in Rs 10,000 crores in revenue. So, how do you do it?

Reliance will allegedly provide easy-EMI options for the JioPhone Next through the above banks and organizations to make the purchasing process easier for low-income users in India. As a consequence, consumers will just have to pay 10% of JioPhone Next's total price to acquire the gadget. They can pay the remaining balance through EMIs over time.

As a result, if you were intending to purchase the JioPhone Next when it releases next week, I'm sure you'll be pleased to see that the base model costs Rs. 500 and the higher-end variant costs Rs. 700.
