Best in â¹699 , Jio 4G & UPI + entertainment
Confusion? After my review all your doubts will be clear as I was also confused before purchased.Mostly feature works only on jio Bharat recharge of or above â¹123 . ( By Other recharge will not usable anything)1. Jio Pay UPI Works i. Multiple Bank account supports ii. History & Balance check option iii. QR code ( generate & Scan) + Voice enable ( after update)2. All Jio SIM works & without SIM you can buy but it supports only on Jio Bharat Recharge ( not Jio phone recharge)3. After update, you’ll get ” Games, Photos app , Jio Chat , Jio TV & Cinema etc”4. Display size & Quality is not for watching any content available, You can listen only as it’s screen pixel is too low.5. Battery : Charging time is okay . & 1000 mAh is good & lasts 3-4 days easily on nominal usages.6. Keypad: It’s a good part of phone .7. Design: light weight 70-80 gm is so light & good looking ( better than jio Bharat)8. Torch : Big LED but less brighter ( however it’s good in this price)9. Vibration available10. Ringtone available & customisable ( from local storage)11. Wallpaper is available & photo can be as wallpaper12. Browser : Bad experience as Opera Mini isn’t suitable for this phone, screen size not good.13. USB type Charging14. 3.5 mm jack15. FM radio available16. Earpiece + loudspeaker ( both available) i. Earpiece: sound quality & loudness is enough ii. Loudspeaker is okay & quality is okay.17. I tried all apps are working including ” UPI , TV , Chat etc”18. SMS & Jio chats are separated , 300 SMS only.19. Camera : photo & video available , but no use , it’s bad quality if we compare with Jio phone it’s worst. But what we can get in â¹699 ð20. Alarm , Calcultor , Sound recoder , call recording etc are available21. Navigation ( 4 – direction) key are customisable , can set to many things like Calcultor,Jio pay etc.22. Menu + ok button are different , ok = entertainment ( Jio apps including jio pay)23. Net issue is bit ( special in home) compare to my Poco phone but at the same place iPhone 14 has also issue ( bit less but yes have signal issue) . It’s not big concern until you are facing signal issues in your home.24. Free SIM delivery: I’ve to call to received person’s contact number. I had already a SIM so didn’t call.25. I feel happy with this device design and quality. Paisa wasul ( as other network is charging â¹199 / month)Hope I’ve resolved your all queries.Thanks me , I’m Roshan.

Can’t import old phone numbers. You hv to manually add them! You can’t export them to a new phone!!
I had a karbonn phone (KX1i) from which I upgraded to this “karboonn” phone. And the experience has been horrible. I did not expect this from the Karbonn people.1) No way to import old contact list/telephone numbers! I am doing this manually. A big headache. Similarly you cannot export your contact list to a new phone when you discard/upgrade from this phone!2) No way to export SMS to laptop/other devices3) No way to block a SMS sender3) The UI is demented to say the least. (a) No way to reorganize/remove/hide unwanted items from the home screen. I need 3 clicks to access SMS!! (b) No way to easily add a completely dark/black or no wallpaper. There should be a built in black/no wallpaper option! Saves battery power and increases visibility. (c) No easy way to set classical ringtones and other sounds. Those should be a built in option.I understand you have to follow Jio design BUT give us the option to customize! And import our old contact list! I bought this phone expecting some of the key features of my older Karbonn phone.I, also, understand that this a cheap phone but that does not mean you shortchange your customers on basic features/capabilities?I regret buying this phone. Unfortunately this was the only official phone sanctioned by Jio.—-And, you Jio Guys! Not everyone wants to watch a bloody movie/TV on 1 1/2 inch display!! What are you thinking!?

Totally worth it.
So the first impressions are really good for the price at which this mobile comes. Only down side is he screen size as it’s a bit difficult for my mom due to eye problems. But the phone is perfect whether it’s the design, functions, charging, camera, price*

According to price 699 poor quality but usable
The quality plastic of the mobile is of very basic quality and the charging is also not above 80% and the charging jack also shakes while charging. If by mistake you open Jio or JioSaavn or JioTV, the mobile automatically restarts. Call quality is good

Build quality is to bad
Build quality is to bad not to buy and features look like Chinese mobile no battery back up after full charge you will be survive only just 2 days (comparing to other mobiles) good this is only you can call unlimited calls with just 123 rupees per month because of jio all over if u r a keypad user and you want just call from there its not bad for you (only at home)

NOT WORTH EVEN 699
I bought this just as an experiment. but unfortunately I am disappointed. extremely low quality. even basic feature like turn on /off mobile data is missing, that means mobile data will be on all the time and it will eat into battery. will use this as music player that’s all.
