(Reliance Jio) ![Author Photo](https://images.hindustantimes.com/tech/static/revamp/images/png/HTTech-new-circle-logo.png) ### By KUL BHUSHAN Reliance Jio earlier this week introduced a newer version of its popular smart feature phone, JioPhone. The latest variant, conveniently called JioPhone 2, comes with a horizontal display, VoWi-Fi, and support for popular apps like Facebook, YouTube, and WhatsApp. Priced at ₹2,999, the smartphone is scheduled to go on sale in India from August 15. Reliance JioPhone is credited with creating a new mobile phone segment for entry-level feature phones with smart features such as LTE support, internet browsing and multimedia streaming among others. For instance JioPhone can run Google's voice-based assistant, Google Assistant. Reliance JioPhone 2 will have a limited competition from a handful of non-Jio smart feature phones. With JioPhone 2 officially announced, rivals are expected to launch more smart feature phones in the future. For now, we can take a look at the Micromax Bharat 1 smart feature phone which launched in October, last year. Also read click here.

The smart feature phone is available online for as low as ₹1,999. Reliance JioPhone 2 is priced at ₹2,999. The operator hasn't announced any bundled data plan with the new phone.

The screen appears to be wider as it's now horizontal. At the centre of the navigation pad is the button to trigger the voice browser, which is most likely powered by Google's Assistant. There are shortcuts to Jio Money and other Jio applications. Micromax Bharat 1 comes in the traditional candy form with an alphanumeric keypad and a four-way navigation button at the front. It has a removable back panel that houses a detachable battery, slots for dual SIMs and microSD memory card.
