Ever since the Jio phone was launched, it became one of the hottest things in the market, the craze of this phone was so much that it was hardly available even in the flash sale, and no doubt it was very hardy and amazing at its price tag. Later on, Jio phone 2 was launched by Jio, many people expected it to be a full-fledged smartphone, but it was not. Anyhow, it was also one of the most sought out phones and many handsets were sold during the flash sale. I have also used it, and to be honest, it is also very hardy and somewhat perfect for all those who wish to own a stylish handset for casual use. But, still, at this very price tag, it does not have a touch screen, there is no hotspot in it, and many other such issues, on the other hand, for the very same or little more price you can get smartphones having more features. So, without any further delay, let us quickly check out some of its best alternatives.
Lava Z41
The first contender on our list is this product from none other than Lava. First of all, the price of this phone is around rupees four thousand two hundred, which is roughly twelve hundred rupees more than the Jio phone 2. It is a complete smartphone, so the first thing that you get is a full smartphone experience in it. It also has a bigger screen of 5-inches. You also get a higher resolution of both rear and front cameras, 5MP and 2MP respectively. The RAM is of 1 GB and the in-built storage is 16 GB, and it can be expanded up to 128 GB. Yes, don’t expect it to be a good performer, but yes, you can play low ranged games, browse, carry on your small things, and get the entire smartphone to feel and experience. The battery backup of this smartphone is 2500 mAh. Now, when it comes to comparison, almost each and every spec of this gadget is more compared to its Jio counterpart. So, by paying some extra amount you can get all these features.
