The sale, with lucrative offers, will commence at 12 noon, and interested customers can buy the JioPhone 2 from Jio's website. However, a rush is expected owing to the JioPhone 2's popularity. Here's more.
Rs. 200 cashback being offered during the flash sale
The JioPhone 2 costs Rs. 2,999 and, incidentally, for this flash sale, customers will have to pay an extra Rs. 99 for delivery, bringing the total cost of the phone to Rs. 3,098.

What specs the JioPhone 2 has to offer
JioPhone 2 sports a 2.4-inch QVGA horizontal display with a 0.3MP VGA camera up front and a 2MP snapper on the back. The phone is powered by a 1GHz dual-core processor, paired with 512MB of RAM and 4GB of internal storage (expandable up to 128GB). Notably, JioPhone 2 runs KaiOS which supports Google Assistant, YouTube, Facebook and WhatsApp.
Popular apps offered and how to download them
WhatsApp's recent addition strengthened the catalog of popular apps offered by the JioPhone and the JioPhone 2. In December last year, Google launched Google Assistant for KaiOS, and Facebook followed in Google's footsteps to launch its KaiOS app in February this year. Google Maps was added in July, and YouTube came after that. Users can download these apps simply from the Jio app store.
