Jio Phone Next price set at Rs 1,999 with financing

Jio Phone Next price in India

The much-hyped Reliance Jio Phone Next will cost Rs 6,499 in India. Buyers may also choose the Easy EMI option, which requires them to pay Rs 1,999 upfront (plus Rs 501 processing fee) and then pay the remaining balance in EMI.

The latter option does make the Jio Phone Next an attractive option for first-time smartphone buyers, however, the full price of the phone is nowhere as competitive as we had hoped for.
