Reliance Jio launched JioPhone Next in India back in October 2021. Originally, the phone has a price tag of Rs. 6,499. Customers could also purchase an affordable smartphone by making a down payment of Rs. 1,999. The rest of the amount can then be easily paid off as EMI in the next 18-24 months. Additional benefits of these EMIs are data offers and more. But now you can grab the ultra-affordable smartphone for a lesser price with this offer.

JioPhone Next Up For Grabs
According to Jio.com, the phone will be available to purchase at Rs. 4,499. You can get it for this price after exchanging any 4G feature phone or smartphone for Rs. 2,000. Buyers can also opt for Rs. 1,999 upfront payment and Rs. 500 process fee payment with the instalment option of 18-24 months.
The offer is available through Reliance Retail’s extensive network of JioMart Digital and Reliance Digital stores only. It looks like the exchange offer comes in after Jio lost over 1.2 crore users in 30 days. With this offer, Jio also aims to capture more users to its network through this JioPhone Next offer.
