Reliance Jio launched the Flame series of its LYF smartphones at a price of just Rs. 2,999 which includes Flame 4,5 and 6. This price includes the amazing free  Jio SIM with Unlimited high-speed 4G Data, Unlimited Calls and Messages for 90 days which is a steal deal. Here's the full review of Flame 4 and Jio 4G network which is now available in LYF outlets across India!

              Reliance Jio 4G Network Review!


I got the Jio 4G Sim for free with the Flame 4 and my experience was amazing. This is the real 4G speed everyone dreams of and Jio has fulfilled this! Speeds of around 30 MBPS are really common even in your basement, thus network coverage is great.   
Check this screenshot to get an idea :D

In just 2 days, we were able to use more than 140 GB 4G data with average speeds of 20 MBPS+, so the overall experience was a bliss. If you are a hungry data user, cancel your internet connection right now and get a Jio 4G mobile. The benefit - Unlimited High Speed 4G with free calls and messages & the best thing - portability and stability even on roaming. I tested this sim right from Delhi to Kerala so you can be sure about its usability. With the hotspot feature, you can set a high speed Wi-Fi virtually anywhere!

Calls were crisp and clear with no limits, so enjoy this offer before it is gone. Messages were also delivered on time and gaming was a bliss because of the stability. For 2,999 you will get the full value of money and a free mobile to use.

                                Design & Build


The LYF Flame 4 offers a plastic build which is a little slippery at the back though which is acceptable at this price point. It features a dual sim-slot, a micro-sd card slot and a 3.5 mm audio jack. The build is sturdy for its price and fits perfectly in your hand due to its small 4 inch display, so expect the one hand use to be great.





                                  Performance 



Flame 4 features a 4 inch mobile with a resolution of 480x 800 pixels (QHD) along-with just 512 MB ram and a 1.5 Ghz Quad core processor. Overall performance is sluggish due to low Ram and a number of Jio apps but the UI is based on stock android. Touch quality is not good and the display viewing angles are just view-able.

Surprisingly we got an Antutu score of 14010 even with such specs. Expect the performance to be decent for messaging apps and medium graphic games like Temple Run and Subway Surfer. We tried running Nova 3 and Gta San Andreas but the experience was not good with frame drops and force stops (due to low Ram)  





                                        Camera


LYF Flame 4 has a 2 MP auto focus back camera and a 0.3 MP front camera. The back camera clicks decent images in day light but the low-light performance is mediocre. The front camera manages to click selfies but at a very low resolution.  

The UI of the camera app is simple to use with basic settings available like the HDR mode. Touch to focus is enabled by default and is pretty easy to use.

 

                                   


                        

                               Battery Life 

Flame 4 comes with a 1400 mah battery which is able to last almost up to 12 hours of light usage which is just not enough for an average user so always keep a power-bank handy if you want to use 4G on the go.

                             Verdict 

Reliance Jio has done an incredible job by introducing this offer as at a price of Rs. 2,999 it's a steal deal with Unlimited 4G, Calls and a basic 4G smartphone. Overall experience is great on Jio network and its actually better than most of the broadband providers with the element of portability! The smartphone though is value for money as it's the cheapest 4G mobile in India as of now with a ok performance. Our advice- Go for Flame 2 which has 1 GB of Ram along-with a better processor for just Rs. 600 more.The extra Ram in Flame 2 will make your experience much better.

Just avail this offer as soon as possible and you will not regret it. In the end, you will always have a mobile to use Jio 4G even in future. Buy one right now at any of the LYF outlets.
