JioPhone Next: Pricing and Availability
The JioPhone Next’s official price has been kept a secret by the manufacturer up until this point, despite numerous stories hinting at it. The business has revealed the device’s price and intriguing easy-EMI alternatives that will be offered to customers ahead of its introduction on November 4.
Customers may purchase the JioPhone Next for a reasonable price of Rs 1,999, which is less than the device’s official pricing of Rs 6,499 in India. The remainder of the debt can then be paid off over the course of 18 or 24 months using a variety of EMI options.
Users of Jio have a choice between four EMI plans: the Always-on plan, Large plan, XL plan, and XXL plan. Customers will also receive Jio’s monthly call and internet services with each of the easy-EMI options.
When choosing the Always-on plan, for instance, you would pay Rs 300 for 24 months or Rs 350 for 18 months in exchange for 5GB of internet data and 100 minutes of talktime per month. To learn everything there is to know about the other EMI plans, see the image below. It is important to note that the EMI offerings come with a processing fee of Rs 501. As a result, you will actually spend about Rs. 10,000 over the following 24 months on the smartphone (Rs. 2,500) and EMIs (Rs. 7,200).
According to Reliance Jio, the JioPhone Next is the first smartphone in its price range to provide such inexpensive EMI choices. With this, the company hopes to use its 30,000 retail partners at JioMart Digital to distribute its low-cost 4G smartphone to every area of India. Customers will be able to purchase the JioPhone Next with ease thanks to the stores’ ability to offer paperless financing alternatives.
