JioPhone 2, the second-generation smart feature phone from Reliance Jio, will go on sale today. The feature phone will be available for purchase at 12:00PM from Jio’s website, and customers will get Rs 200 cashback when they pay using Paytm. Since the feature phone went on sale for the first time, the company has said that it has run out of stock immediately, and has been holding weekly sales.
Reliance JioPhone 2 was unveiled at company’s annual general meeting as an upgraded version of its predecessor. The feature phone comes with a bigger display and features full QWERTY keyboard, which the company says has been added to facilitate faster typing experience. It also differs greatly from the candybar form factor of original JioPhone, which had standard alphanumeric keys.
On the back of strong demand for JioPhone, Reliance Jio has grown to become the leading player in the feature phone market. According to Counterpoint Research, Reliance Jio has over 30 percent market share in the feature phone segment and is estimated to have shipped over 25 million devices. With JioPhone 2, Reliance Jio is further strengthening its place in the feature phone market, and catering to a different set of audience.
