Reliance Digital has quietly launched two new smartphones under its LYF lineup. One of them is the LYF Water 9, which is priced at Rs 8,499, while the other is the LYF F1 Plus, which has been spotted on Snapdeal with a price tag of Rs 13,099. The LYF F1 Plus, as the name suggests, is a variant of the LYF F1 that was launched in India last week.
Both smartphones are bundled with Reliance Jio’s Welcome Offer. This offers users with unlimited HD voice and video calls, unlimited SMS (restricted to 100 per day) till December 2016. In terms of high speed 4G data, there is a cap of 4GB per day, after which speeds will be cut down to 128Kbps, and will refresh post midnight. Users also get access to Jio’s suite of apps like JioPlay, JioOnDemand, JioBeats, JioXpressNews, JioSecurity, JioDrive, JioMags and JioMoney among others. Analysts believe that Jio is likely to extend the validity of its Welcome Offer till March 2017 , as it looks to cross the 250 million users mark . Recently, the company announced that in just over a month it has managed to garner over 16 million users.

The LYF Water 9 was spotted online by
PhoneRadar. It flaunts a 5.5-inch full HD (1920×1080 pixels) 2.5D curved glass display, and is powered by a 1.3GHz MediaTek MT6753 octa-core chipset paired with 2GB of RAM. There is 16GB onboard storage, but less than 12GB is available for users. One can however use a microSD card to expand the storage up to 32GB.
The smartphone is equipped with a 13-megapixel auto-focus rear camera with LED flash, while up front there is a 5-megapixel selfie camera. It is backed by a 2,800mAh battery that the company says is good enough for up to 10 hours of talktime and up to 115 hours on standby mode. Connectivity options include dual-SIM card slots, 4G with VoLTE support, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.1, and GPS. On the software front, the device runs on Android Lollipop 5.1 out-of-the-box, but the company promises it will soon be updated.
Going by the looks and the set of features, the LYF Water 9 is essentially a rebranded Haier Esteem V4. The only difference is LYF logo at the back, which replaces the Haier and Esteem logos. Priced at Rs 8,499, the LYF Water 9 will face tough competition from the likes of the popular Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, Coolpad Note 5, LeEco Le 1s Eco, Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus to name a few.
Reliance Digital LYF F1 Plus specifications
Until recently, all Reliance Digital smartphones were launched under the Water, Earth, Flame and Wind series. But last week it launched the LYF F1, which is on sale for Rs 13,399. Now, the company has quietly unveiled a new smartphone called the LYF F1 Plus. The smartphone is currently listed on Snapdeal with a price tag of Rs 13,099. The new smartphone shares all its specifications and features with the LYF F1, except the chipset. Where the LYF F1 was powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 617 octa-core chipset, the LYF F1 Plus is powered by a 1.6GHz Samsung Exynos octa-core processor.
As for the rest of the specifications, the LYF F1 Plus features a 5.5-inch 1080p display, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage, and a microSD card. For photography enthusiasts there is a 16-megapixel rear camera with PDAF and EIS support, while up front, there is an 8-megapixel selfie camera. There is also a 3,200mAh battery, and connectivity options like dual-SIM card slots, 4G with VoLTE support, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth V4.1, OTG, and GPS.
On the software front, the device runs on Android Marshmallow 6.0.1, and Reliance Digital has bundled in a bunch of features like built-in video player that allows users to view two videos on one screen, Smart Play that basically pauses videos if the user looks away from the screen, and Smart Ring that adjusts the volume of the smartphone based on ambient noise levels. The company has also added some of its own services like the Rich Communication Services which includes a set of messaging and calling features — similar to the Apple iMessage. At this price point, the LYF F1 Plus will face competition from the likes of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 , Moto G4 Plus , and the LeEco Le 2 to name a few.
