Airtel has come up with their Jio competitor ’apna first smart phone’ and it is bundled with airtel offer.I have bought one for my mom and after getting it, I have understood the real trick behind 1399 effective price magic.
As I have already suffered this, so now I can explain you to real benifit or loss tou will make if you take this plan.
Karbonn A40 Indian is a entry level smart phone comes with spectrume processor and 1GB of ram with 8GB internal store, which can be expended to 32GB with SD card.This device has unlocked 2 sim slots and a 4 inch 480* 800 pixel screen.It has 2MP rear cam and proximity, lights sencers with plastic body.
If you want to buy it from market, it will cost you 3499 rupees.But oif you buy from airtel outlet you need to pay 2849.
Airtel will give 1500 rupees cash back if you use and recharge it for next 3 years.Yes friend, if you recharge 3000 rupees on it in first 18months you will get 500 cash back.Another 18month usage and 3000 recharge will get you last 1000 rupees cash back.So your total cost will be-( 2849+ 3000+ 3000) =8849 after spending that money on a basic smart phone you will get 1500 cashback.
Friends now I believe you all can understand my point and the loss you going to make on this device if you buy it.Of course someone will say recharge benifit and data I will get from it.But with 169 recharge per month gives me 0.5GB daliy data usage, which is too low as per market standred.If you buy a 459 Jio plan can get 1GB daily data and unlimited call and sms for 84 days.So the data offer is not benificial at all.
Thanks a lot for reading my review.
