JioBharat K1 Karbonn 4G Keypad Phone with JioTV, JioHotstar, JioSoundPay, JioSaavn, Long Lasting Battery, LED Torch, Digital Camera | Black & Grey | Locked for JioNetwork

Confusion? After my review all your doubts will be clear as I was also confused before purchased.Mostly feature works only on jio Bharat recharge of or above ₹123 . ( By Other recharge will not usable anything)1. Jio Pay UPI Worksi. Multiple Bank account supportsii. History & Balance check optioniii. QR code ( generate & Scan) + Voice enable ( after update)2. All Jio SIM works & without SIM you can buy but it supports only on Jio Bharat Recharge ( not Jio phone recharge)3. After update, you'll get " Games, Photos app , Jio Chat , Jio TV & Cinema etc"4. Display size & Quality is not for watching any content available, You can listen only as it's screen pixel is too low.5. Battery : Charging time is okay . & 1000 mAh is good & lasts 3-4 days easily on nominal usages.6. Keypad: It's a good part of phone .7. Design: light weight 70-80 gm is so light & good looking ( better than jio Bharat)8. Torch : Big LED but less brighter ( however it's good in this price)9. Vibration available10. Ringtone available & customisable ( from local storage)11. Wallpaper is available & photo can be as wallpaper12. Browser : Bad experience as Opera Mini isn't suitable for this phone, screen size not good.13. USB type Charging14. 3.5 mm jack15. FM radio available16. Earpiece + loudspeaker ( both available)i. Earpiece: sound quality & loudness is enoughii. Loudspeaker is okay & quality is okay.17. I tried all apps are working including " UPI , TV , Chat etc"18. SMS & Jio chats are separated , 300 SMS only.19. Camera : photo & video available , but no use , it's bad quality if we compare with Jio phone it's worst. But what we can get in ₹699 😂20. Alarm , Calcultor , Sound recoder , call recording etc are available21. Navigation ( 4 - direction) key are customisable , can set to many things like Calcultor,Jio pay etc.22. Menu + ok button are different , ok = entertainment ( Jio apps including jio pay)23. Net issue is bit ( special in home) compare to my Poco phone but at the same place iPhone 14 has also issue ( bit less but yes have signal issue) . It's not big concern until you are facing signal issues in your home.24. Free SIM delivery: I've to call to received person's contact number. I had already a SIM so didn't call.25. I feel happy with this device design and quality. Paisa wasul ( as other network is charging ₹199 / month)Hope I've resolved your all queries.Thanks me , I'm Roshan.

I had a karbonn phone (KX1i) from which I upgraded to this "karboonn" phone. And the experience has been horrible. I did not expect this from the Karbonn people.1) No way to import old contact list/telephone numbers! I am doing this manually. A big headache. Similarly you cannot export your contact list to a new phone when you discard/upgrade from this phone!2) No way to export SMS to laptop/other devices3) No way to block a SMS sender3) The UI is demented to say the least.(a) No way to reorganize/remove/hide unwanted items from the home screen. I need 3 clicks to access SMS!!(b) No way to easily add a completely dark/black or no wallpaper. There should be a built in black/no wallpaper option! Saves battery power and increases visibility.(c) No easy way to set classical ringtones and other sounds. Those should be a built in option.I understand you have to follow Jio design BUT give us the option to customize! And import our old contact list! I bought this phone expecting some of the key features of my older Karbonn phone.I, also, understand that this a cheap phone but that does not mean you shortchange your customers on basic features/capabilities?I regret buying this phone. Unfortunately this was the only official phone sanctioned by Jio.----And, you Jio Guys! Not everyone wants to watch a bloody movie/TV on 1 1/2 inch display!! What are you thinking!?

Good for callingBut if you have 2000 buget then go for jio phone on longer run they are cost effective in respect to rechargesThis phone recharge ₹123 lowestJio phone recharge ₹75 lowest

Good network reception but you can't use all features provided by company as it's getting hanged very easily.

What else do u want in ₹700 ?Don't expect it to be a high end phone.It is a basic 4G phone which supports jio sim only.This phone supports JioBharat recharge of ₹123, which gives u unlimited calling, daily 0.5 GB data for 28 days.I had an extra original jio sim, so I purchased this. (It took 3 days for the sim to start supporting JioBharat Plan)I had one more jio sim which was ported from vi, this sim was not supported by JioBharat Phone.This phone has a basic camera, radio, saavn, jio cinema (live news, sports etc), browser (opera mini), bluetooth (working with ear buds), UPI (haven't used yet).On update you will get jio chat, snake 🐍 game, jio tv, jio photos (to access jio cloud).On single charge, the phone is lasting 3-4 days on normal use.Only two things I felt was missing, WhatsApp (in place of jiochat) and YouTube (in place of jiotv/jio cinema).But it actually takes you back to the nokia time, when main purpose of the phone was phoning (calling) only.One more complaint-The seller of this phone is sharing our details with jio to sell a new jio sim. I haven't ordered any jio sim (because I already had) , but delivery boy called me that I have ordered a jio sim.So don't accept new sim you don't want.

I bought it for 699, thinking how bad it could be? Cheap recharge plan will compensate. But I was wrong. Worst phone to have, Go for other jio phones instead. Phone is of very poor quality, keypad is slippery, speakers are not clear (both ear piece and main speaker), continuous network failures. If you are shifting from other smart phone to jio bharat phone then you have to wait for compulsory 48 hours to get your recharge done. Jio Pay fails 90% of times. There is No QR scanner option.
