MSP SCORE

Pros

Runs KaiOS, which means you can install and use apps like WhatsApp and YouTube. It has 4G and Wi-Fi connectivity, QWERTY keyboard, cameras at the front and the rear, and modern features like NFC, VoLTE and VoWiFi. You can consume content such as music, videos, streaming TV, newspapers and magazines from Reliance Jio s ecosystem apps.

Cons

Smallish 2.4-inch screen. Not as cheap as it might seem.

Verdict

Hot on the heels of Jio Phone s success, the Jio Phone 2 brings a much-needed improvement: QWERTY keyboard. While the screen is quite small, the phone can be a good device who are upgrading from feature phones. It has 4G LTE, VoLTE, VoWiFi, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and dual-SIM connectivity and access to apps like Google Assistant, WhatsApp and YouTube. It should ve been priced lower, though, since spending Rs. 1,000-2,000 gets you access to proper Android smartphones which can do a lot more than the Jio Phone 2.
