It is almost a year since the launch of Jio Phone 2 and Jio will be upgrading the basic feature phone to have a better user experience.

Jio is also planning to commercially launch the Giga Broadband which is already in the pilot stage.

The pricing for the JIO Giga Broadband will be aggressive and will help further boost internet usage in India.

Let’s talk about the upcoming Jio Phone and what we can expect from it.

Launch Date and Offers

Aforementioned, the Jio Phone 3 will launch on 12^th August 2019 and will go on sale on My Jio App and Reliance JIO website.

Last time Jio announced an exchange offer which enabled buyers to exchange their old mobile to get the new Jio phone 2 for only Rs. 501.
