Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani announced the launch of the newbie telecom operator’s feature phone– Jio Phone– at the company’s 40th Annual Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Mumbai on Friday. “Today, Jio is going to reinvent the conventional feature phone. Let me introduce India ka Intelligent SmartPhone,” Ambani said while launching the Jio Phone.

“Starting 15th August this year, I am declaring DIGITAL FREEDOM for all feature phone users,” he added during his speech.

Unlike most feature phones available in the market, Jio Phone offers 4G LTE connectivity to all its users and even responds to voice commands like conventional smartphones. To put it simply, you can make calls, use apps and even play songs by asking your Jio Phone to do so.

Interestingly, Jio Phone understands 22 Indian languages, which means that you no longer have to give commands to your phone in English. You can instead use Hindi or any other regional language to use your Jio Phone.
