Jio Phone Next now available through Reliance Digital website, but should you buy it?
Jio Phone Next was announced at the 44th AGM Meeting back in June and went on sale for the first time earlier this month during Diwali. Customers were only able to purchase the phone by registering for it by visiting the nearest Jio Mart Digital retailer or Jio.com/Next or by sending a WhatsApp ‘Hi’ message to 70182-70182. However, that changes now as buyers can now purchase the phone through the Reliance Digital website and don’t need to register for the device. It is available for the same price online but there are card discounts.

Should you buy Jio Phone Next?
The Jio Phone Next is reportedly seeing a lot of interest and positive responses from potential buyers. The biggest attractive feature is that the phone can be bought by paying an upfront amount of Rs 1,999 only. The rest can be paid through EMI plans that will also include data benefits for Jio users. Do consider that you will end up paying effectively more for the Jio Phone Next with EMI plans compared to buying the Jio Phone Next at Rs 6,499 and using standalone recharge plans. Also, if you plan to buy the phone at its actual cost of Rs 6,499, there are several other phones in the segment that are worth considering instead.
