The company "Reliance Jio Infocomm" explained that it will begin the trial launch of the first million phones of the "Jio Bharat" model from July 7 this year.

The company pointed out that the new phone, despite its cheap price, will be supported by an unlimited voice calling package and 14 gigabytes of data for 123 rupees per month.

She added that it is possible to watch videos from the "JioCinema" application of the company "Reliance" and make payments by phone.

The company confirmed that it plans to invest USD 25 billion to roll out fifth-generation services across India by December 2023.

For his part, Akash Ambani, Chairman of Reliance Jio, said that there are 250 million mobile phone users in India who are still trapped in the era of second-generation networks, unable to take advantage of the basic features of the internet.

He pointed out that this comes at a time when the world is relying on fifth-generation technology, and the phone is also expected to boost Reliance's plans to push towards entertainment through the streaming service.

It is worth mentioning that offering a phone at a cheap price comes within the strategy of billionaire "Mukesh Ambani" by offering goods at cheap prices, which happened when he entered retail in 2006 and telecommunications in 2016, in order to avoid competition until reliance emerged as a market leader in both sectors.
