Jiophone Next And Vi
Reliance Jio has recently announced the JioPhone Next smartphone in its annual general meeting, which is going to be a very affordable phone and with this the company is also going to give many special features in it. While giving his opinion on this phone, Vodafone Idea MD Ravindra Takkar said that his company is not considering to give any subsidy to compete with JioPhone Next.
He said that reducing the price of a smartphone and giving heavy subsidy on it is to dissuade customers from choosing a device with better specifications for the true experience of 4G according to them. Takkar said during the Vi Investor call on Friday that, “The best option for us to provide quality smartphones to our customers is that if OEMs as well as NBFCs, our customers need to buy these smartphones in such a way. Allows which are financially suitable for them and which are in installments. They can also buy used phones in installments through our programs.”
He added that giving customers choice and finance ability is the right way to do it, not to offer a phone that has been pushed to its bottom in terms of value. Takkar further said that, then on top of that, potentially subsidizing. And to say that I will pay so much for the phone that if you get the phone, then you will have to spend a lot of money for this. I think that according to us it did not happen to provide the right option to the customers.
In response to this question, the collision said this thing
Ravindra Takkar said this in response to a question regarding Jio’s phone in which he was asked whether the affordable phone of Jio-Google could prove to be dangerous for Vodafone-Idea’s low value customer base. Let us tell you that Mukesh Ambani-owned Reliance Industries announced the most affordable smartphone JioPhone Next last week and with this the company is planning to convert 300 million 2G customers to 4G.
He said that first of all, if you look at the Indian 4G smartphone market, then only 2% of the smartphones sold in the market are less than Rs 5000. That is, if you want the best experience on 4G, then use the smartphone for the things it is built for, which is to take pictures, send pictures, do e-commerce, do other social media types of activities. You will need a quality smartphone and it costs more than Rs 5000.
