Lenovo rolls out update for 2016 K-series smartphones, adds Reliance Jio 4G VoLTE support
Now, you’ll no longer need Jio4GVoice app to make HD voice calls from Reliance Jio network on your Lenovo K-Series smartphones.
Reliance Jio is one of the hottest telecom operators in the Indian telecom space. The company is offering free SIM cards to the customers along with some freebies such as free 4G data, unlimited voice and video calling and more. Though, to make HD voice calls through Jio network, your smartphone needs to be compatible with VoLTE. While several new phones are launching with VoLTE support, for older models, companies are pushing out software updates to enable VoLTE. After OnePlus and Google (for its Pixel and Nexus series) , Lenovo has now rolled out an OTA update for its 2016 K-series of smartphones to bring VoLTE support.
Until now, K-series users were required to use Jio4GVoice app to make outgoing calls, but this will no longer be required after the current update. The list of devices getting the update software update include Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus (3GB), Lenovo Vibe K5 Note, Vibe K5, and the recently launched K6 Power. The update will also be made available for the K4 Note in the coming weeks.

With the latest update, Lenovo K-series smartphone users can now make most of their Jio connection. Also, the move will put pressure on other manufacturers to push out an update to add VoLTE support for their compatible smartphones. For Reliance, more smartphone companies, especially ones with budget devices, coming onboard will help it achieve its target of 100 million subscribers by March 2017. Already, Reliance Jio has added nearly 60 million customers in record time.
