To compete with Jio Phone, Airtel has launched a smartphone in the market in collaboration with Carbon Mobile. While Jio has launched a feature phone at zero effective price, Airtel has tried to give tough competition to Jio by launching a smartphone at around Rs 1399. Which of these two phones is useful for you? Let us know these 5 major differences.

Which one costs the lowest
While Jio has said that its 4G feature phone is absolutely free, Airtel is saying that its effective price is Rs. 1399. By the way, is this the effective price? To buy Jio's feature phone, the customer will have to pay Rs. 500 at the time of booking and Rs. 1000 at the time of receiving the phone. On the other hand, Airtel has launched Karbonn-A40 Indian smartphone. Both these phones support 4G Volt. The market price of Airtel's smartphone is Rs. 3499, whereas the company will give this phone to the user at a discounted price of Rs. 2899.

Features of the phone
Jio's 4G phone is basically a feature phone. It has a 2.4 inch display screen. It has 512 MB RAM and 4 GB internal memory which can be expanded up to 128 GB. Jio phone has only a 0.3 megapixel main camera and a front VGA camera for video calling purpose. Jio phone does not run on Android but on KAI operating system. The battery of this phone is 2000 mAh which is considered good for a feature phone. On the other hand, Airtel's 4G phone Karbonn-A40 is an Android phone. This phone has a 4 inch touch screen and Android 7.0 Nougat latest OS! It has 1 GB RAM and 8 GB internal memory which can be expanded up to 32 GB. Like a normal smartphone, this phone has all the important features. Its main camera is 2 megapixels and the front camera is 0.3 megapixels. Airtel's phone will not have the facility to watch videos and movies on TV like Jio phone, but Airtel phone is a dual SIM phone with 4G/3G support, while only Jio SIM can be used in Jio phone. Apart from this, it is not certain that Whatsapp facility will be available in Jio phone, while this feature is very common in Airtel phones.

Money back
If the user of Jio Phone returns the phone to Jio in the third year, the company will refund him Rs 1500. That means the price of Jio Phone will become zero. On the other hand, if the user who buys Airtel smartphone returns the phone to Airtel after 36 months, the company will refund Rs 1500 to the user. This way the effective price of Airtel smartphone will be Rs 1399.

Whose recharge will be the cheapest
A Jio phone user can get any recharge done on his phone, but if he wants to return the phone and get the money back, then he will have to do a minimum recharge of at least Rs 153 every month for the next 12 months. If the user wants to enjoy movies or cricket on TV through Jio TV app, then he will have to do a recharge of Rs 309. That is, a Jio user will have to do a recharge of at least Rs 1800 to get the money back for the phone. On the other hand, Airtel users will have to do a monthly recharge of Rs 169 for two consecutive years. Even after that, if the user returns the phone to Airtel after using it for 36 months, then the company will return Rs 1500 to him. In this way, an Airtel phone user will have to do a recharge of about Rs 4000 to get Rs 1500 back in exchange for the phone.

Which one is more beneficial
JioPhone and Airtel Karbonn smartphones are completely different in terms of technology. There is no direct competition between these two. Jio Phone is a feature phone which provides a unique service of watching movies and songs on it by attaching it to the TV. Due to it being a single SIM phone and not a smart phone, users will hardly be able to use popular services like WhatsApp on this phone. While Airtel phone has all the smart features along with WhatsApp, but considering the battery and camera, it can be called an average smartphone only. Those who do not have a 4G phone yet can choose any of the two phones according to their requirement.
