Jio budget phones: If you’re looking for an inexpensive phone yet still want to stay connected in 2025, Jio’s offerings below ₹3,000 could be just what you’re looking for. These are not mere feature phones on the bare minimum, they’re constructed to hold 4G VoLTE, expandable storage, and more. If you need something for backup, senior use, or very minimal calling requirements, consider the following five budget regents that may surprise you with what they pack.

JioBharat V4

This small device is all about minimalism. It introduces a 1.77-inch screen and a 0.3MP back camera, providing just enough for basic use. Storage will never be an issue with 4GB inbuilt space and the ability to expand up to 128GB using a memory card. It offers 4G VoLTE and comes with Bluetooth v4.1. But it misses out on WiFi and GPS. The 1000mAh removable battery is perfect for basic phone users.

JioBharat V3

Very similar in design and features to V4, the V3 also features a 1.77-inch display and a single 0.3MP rear camera. There’s 512MB of RAM and 4GB of storage for performance. MicroUSB and Bluetooth v4.1 contribute to its connectivity, and the 1000mAh battery provides light usage for extended periods. Again, no WiFi, GPS, or fingerprint sensor.

JioPhone Prima 2

This one is a bit wiser, courtesy of KaiOS and a 2.4-inch screen. The difference here is that it includes a 0.3MP front camera. The back camera stays at 0.3MP but now comes with WiFi in addition to Bluetooth v5.0. RAM and internal storage remain at 512MB and 4GB, respectively, and the phone has memory expansion capability. The 2000mAh removable battery and 110g weight make it feel marginally more sophisticated.

Jio Bharat J1 4G

If you prefer a bit bigger screen, this phone features a 2.8-inch screen and a 0.3MP back camera. It doesn’t have WiFi, but features 4G VoLTE and Bluetooth. With 512MB RAM and 4GB ROM, storage should not be an issue. Memory card is supported, and the 2500mAh battery is the largest in this category. It is heavy enough at 122g. It does not have a GPS or a front-facing camera.

Jio Bharat B1

With a 2.4-inch LCD and 0.3MP camera, this phone fits between the smaller and larger ones. There is Bluetooth, but no WiFi or GPS. It has 512MB RAM and 4GB internal storage, along with a 2000mAh battery, which is all the basics nicely. There is also a memory card slot, so it is a good all-rounder for light users.

Final Thoughts

All these Jio phones provide basic 4G features at a super-low price. If you need smart features and WiFi, the best is JioPhone Prima 2. For most battery life, Jio Bharat J1 4G is the way to go. The others are good options for calling, messaging, and light use. Choose based on your priority battery, screen size, or additional connectivity.
