Well, we have brough

 

t you the specs and the conditions for this offer.

Airtel notes that while the Karbonn A40 Indian normally costs Rs 3,499 it will be offering the 4G smartphone effectively at the price of a feature phone by bringing a tariff plan into the mix.

 to buy the phone you need to pay Rs 2899 as down payment and you get a 4g connection via Airtel. You have to make 36 continuous recharges of Rs 169 monthly to avail the cashback of Rs 1500. The customer then gets a cash refund of Rs 500 after 18 months and another Rs 1,000 after 36 months, taking the total cash benefit to Rs 1,500.

Karbonn a40 Indian vs jio

Jio vs Airtel

To be very honest with specs Airtel beats Jio. But the price and cashback scheme of Airtel is a bit odd one. Well If I had to buy a phone between these two I would have preferred Karbonn A40 I

 

ndian which has all the specs of a true smartphone. The 1gb RAM AND THE Android Nougat is the big difference between the two. Maybe there maybe a price difference but giving 1300 bucks and buying a Indian Brand Smartphone would be my preferred choice. Also monthly plans wouldn’t differ much. Jio and Airtel gives the same features of calling and 0.5 gb a day, for Rs 149 and the latter prices it for Rs 169.
