Given that 5G is spreading at breakneck speeds throughout India, the Jio 5G phone’s launch couldn’t have come at a better time — not only does it bring with it the promise of up-to-date quality and good looks but also unfettered access to ultra-fast networking at a price you cannot argue with.

The New Jio 5G Smartphone features a 6.5-inch HD+ display with nice colors and good brightness for day-to-day use. It has a waterdrop notch for the selfie camera and slim bezels, which makes it look modern.
A textured matte finish on the back panel provides excellent grip and the cameras are placed vertically as it’s just a dual-camera system. The unibody plastic build is meant to be sturdy and rugged – perfect for everyone from the city slicker to the country bumpkin.
With a range of shades such as Sky Blue, Graphite Black or Mint Green, the phone is aimed towards the younger audience that wants a fashionable but functional phone. Price
