Meanwhile, Reliance Jio has introduced the Jio Bharat platform in India. The newly introduced Jio Bharat platform aims to enable the existing 250 million feature phone users in India, who cannot access the Internet on their smartphones, to access 4G connectivity without changing their devices.

Jio says that its newly announced Jio Bharat platform leverages device and network capabilities to deliver internet-enabled services on entry-level phones, that is, a feature phone. The company also says that the Jio Bharat-powered phones will provide ‘features and digital capabilities that allow different segments of society to achieve more by doing more’.

Jio Bharat is essentially an OS for mobile phones that will give a 4G upgrade to the 2G-enabled feature phones along with access to a bunch of other features.

“Jio Bharat is being launched with the objective of empowering every Indian with the power of digital services, especially those who cannot afford a smartphone,” the company said in a press release.
