Just like all the other LYF devices, the Flame 5 too supports 4G with VoLTE, which is among the highlights of the smartphone. The LYF Flame 5 will be available via Reliance’s offline stores such as Reliance Digital and Digital Xpress.
Reliance Digital has launched six smartphones in the ‘Flame’ series till date. All smartphones in this series are priced below Rs 5,000, except the Flame 1, which is priced at Rs 5,599.
