JioPhone specifications
The original JioPhone was launched back in 2017. Its specifications, to recall, include 4G LTE connectivity, a 2.4-inch display, a Qualcomm processor, a VGA camera, 512MB of RAM, and 4GB storage. The phone runs KaiOS out of the box to take care of the software side of things.
