The Reliance Jio Next phone is available for $27 down payment, but there’s a catch

Just an hour ago, we shared the detailed specs of the Jio Phone Next after the retail packaging of the phones was leaked online. Right now, we have another big update for those who are super excited to pick up the Jio Phone Next or want to buy one for someone around them. You can purchase Jio Phone Next for only $27, although the original price of the phone is $87. This means that those who want to buy a phone but can’t immediately spend most of the money have the option to pay a nominal amount and get the phone, and then they can pay the remaining $60 in the form of EMI.

It looks like Jio offers quite a few different EMI plans for Jio Phone Next. The first plan is called the “Permanent Plan”. Users who choose the plan will have to pay $4.7 for 18 months or $4 for 24 months. At the same time, they can receive 5 GB of data per month and 100 minutes of free calls. Customers choosing the large plan can choose to pay either $7 for 18 months or $6 for 24 months, and in return they get 1.5 GB of data per day along with unlimited calls.
