This company is going to make 4G VoLTE feature phones for Reliance Jio

Reliance Jio is all set to disrupt another market by launching its 4G VoLTE feature phone. In this, Intex will be making the phone in India and has signed up Reliance Jio as a vendor.

Intex won’t be involved in pricing and marketing of the feature phone.

"We will launch this 4G feature phone in this quarter, but will not be selling it standalone in the market. We are in dialogue with Reliance Jio for bundling which should be through very soon,” Nidhi Markanday, director and business head, Intex Technologies, told ET.

Reliance Jio is sourcing phones from multiple vendors and will launch the phone in a few days.

Markanday told ET, "Jio has given us a ballpark figure. Initially we will not be going in a big way as we first want to test the waters.”

Besides, Indian handset makers, Micromax and Lava, which have launched its VoLTE feature phone, have also said that they are in talks with Jio for bundled offers for 4G feature phones.
