The much awaited Reliance Jio services were officially launched in September, since then it has brought a revolution in the Indian telecom industry. The highlight of the Jio services, apart from the 4G speeds, is the VoLTE support. VoLTE basically means voice calls over a 4G LTE network instead of 2G or 3G connections, thus it improves the call quality to a HD experience.
Anticipating the need for phones that are completely compatible with the Jio network, Reliance came up with its own range of smartphones under the brand name ‘Lyf’. But still there are many other 4G VoLTE phones in the market that are better in specifications as compared to the Lyf phones. Let us take a look at Top 5 Non LYF Phones in each price segment that comes with JIO Support and VOLTE Enabled.
