JioPhone Next News
Yesterday (Thursday), JioPhone Next was announced by Mukesh Ambani at Reliance Industries' 44th Annual General Meeting (AGM). This latest Android smartphone will come with a partnership between Reliance Jio and Google. It was announced last year and was revealed by both Mukesh Ambani and Google head Sundar Pichai. It offers an optimised Android experience on top of entry-level hardware to attract the masses.
The JioPhone Next also offers Google Play store access and features including voice assistant, automatic read-aloud of screen text, and language translation. Speaking at the Reliance AGM, Ambani said, "India still has nearly 300 million mobile users who are unable to escape from inefficient and exorbitant 2G services because even a basic 4G smartphone remains unaffordable for these users.
JioPhone Next Release Date in India
Last year Sundar and I had talked about Google and Jio co-developing a next-generation, feature-rich, but extremely affordable smartphone." While many features of the upcoming phone were revealed, and its launch date of Ganesh Chaturthi, September 10, the price of the phone was not announced yet, only that it will be "the most affordable smartphone not just in India, but globally."
JioPhone Next Price (Expected)
JioPhone Next is Expected To Be The Budget-Friendly & Low-cost Android Smartphone. Price Will Likely Be Between ₹3000 to ₹5000. Jio Has History For Low Priced Feature Pack Devices. We Have Seen The JioPhone 1 & 2, JioFi Wifi Router, Jio DTH & JioFiber Broadband Connection. All Of These Devices Launched With Aggressive Pricing Tag. We Can Expect The Jio Welcome Offer Also On This JioPhone Next Similar to Jio SIM & JioFiber.
It seems JioPhone Next Can Be Available at Price Between Rs.3000 to Rs.5000.
At The Launch Time Of Jio SIM & JioFiber, Jio Announced Free 3 Months & 1 Month Preview Usage Respectively. Jio Trial Offer is Still Working & User Can Enroll in it. The launch of the new Jio phone could give a tough fight to companies including Xiaomi, Samsung, and Realme that are offering a list of models in the affordable market segment.
JioPhone Next specifications
The JioPhone Next is designed for people looking to upgrade from 2G to 4G connectivity along with an affordable smartphone. The new offering is based on a custom Android operating system that has been specifically designed by Google for Jio. The smartphone comes preloaded with a voice assistant and offers features including automatic read-aloud of screen text, language translation, and a camera with augmented reality filters. It also comes with support for regular Android updates.
This is notably not the first time when Jio has brought its in-house handset for consumers. The telco back in July 2017 introduced the Jio Phone as its smart feature phone with 4G connectivity. That model received an update in 2018, with the launch of the Jio Phone 2. The upgrade included a QWERTY keyboard and a wider screen over the original phone.
Investment from google
In July last year, Jio Platforms received an investment of Rs. 33,737 crores from Google. That deal, which was a part of Google's India Digitisation Fund included the plan to build an affordable Android phone.
Excited to announce the next steps in our partnership with @RelianceJio to accelerate India's digitization, starting with a new affordable Jio smartphone with an optimized @Android experience, and a 5G collaboration between Jio & @GoogleCloud.https://t.co/Wi9DExPU6b
