The JioFi hotspot is available for purchase exclusively through e-commerce portal Flipkart and comes with a price tag of Rs 999.

The device is fueled by a massive 3,000 mAh battery under the hood that has a charging time of 3.5 hours. It is a major improvement from the earlier version of the JioFi hotspot which carried a 2,300 mAh battery. Apart from that, it also carries a micro-SD card slot that can support up to 64GB of storage.
To recall, this announced about the new JioFi device comes days after Reliance Jio launched a new Rs 1,999 offer for JioFi users.
