<p>Reinventing the conventional feature phone, Reliance Jio has unveiled a new handset - the JioPhone - which has features of a smartphone in a regular feature phone body. With the launch of the new 4G-enabled feature phone, Reliance Jio aims to make 2G feature phones obsolete.</p>

<p>Calling it &ldquo;the world&rsquo;s most affordable phone in the world&rdquo;, Reliance Jio has priced the JioPhone at Rs 0. While the phone will be available for free, buyers need to deposit a security of Rs 1500, which, the company says, will be refundable after 3 years.</p>

<p>JioPhone will offer users free voice and SMS along with unlimited data at Rs 153 per month. And for those who can&rsquo;t afford to make a monthly payment, the company has introduced two cheaper data tariff plans - Rs 24 for 2 days and Rs 54 for a week.</p>

<p>Other features of the phone include 2.4-inch QVGA display, alphanumeric keypad, SD card slot, FM radio and a camera. The phone will come pre-loaded with Jio apps including JioMusic and JioCinema.</p>
