Can anyone with context tell me how far 4000 rupees go in India? It feels cheap enough (like a fire device) but also that did not turn out hot.

- motabhai 6y agoGive anything at a cheap price and it will be a hit here in India. Jio will mostly bundled this with their sim card sales. Everybody will then buy it. It will come preloaded with all their apps. Therefore, Jio users will use it. Then all non-Jio users will be forced to use it. Thanks to Jio, bandwidth prices are insanely low here. That's the only good thing that has come due to their existence. A few years ago, they gave away calls and internet access totally free for a year if you download all their 10 apps from the play store. Each of their apps got 50-100 million downloads. Which forced competitors to reduce prices drastically, and since then it is been an insanely competitive market here. There is a reason Facebook and Google have invested in Jio. It's going to get into the advertising business in 1-2 years.
