Published: December 24, 2020 2:32 PM IST Earlier this year due to the COVID-19 induced nationwide lockdown, the Jio Phone’s production was halted, owing to the obstruction in the manufacturing process. However, based on a recent report, Reliance might be looking to bring back the Jio Phone to markets come early 2021. It may be called the Jio Phone 4G but it will probably have the same features underneath. Moreover, Jio might increase the price of the Jio Phone as well from the original price of Rs 699.

Jio won’t change any aspect of the device and hence, you might get the exact same phone that the company launched a few years ago. That said, Reliance might increase the price of the device. The report does not mention the new price but it will still stay under Rs 1,000, which could still let it be one of the cheapest 4G phones you can buy in India.
