Due to manufacturing limitations all across the world, Jio had delayed making the first sale of JioPhone Next. However, the company is currently planning to launch it just before Diwali.
While rumours and speculation regarding the JioPhone Next started pouring at the moment Reliance announced the smartphone, an official price is not available for it yet. Considering the specifications, target market and the presentation made at the Annual General Meeting on June 24, 2021, the JioPhone Next price might be lower than other budget smartphones in the market. The smartphone is expected to be priced around Rs. 3,499, making it one of the cheapest Android phones in the country.
Jio’s first smartphone for India was supposed to go on sale in September, but With the festival lights just a few weeks away, it’s time to freshen up on the JioPhone Next smartphone. Designed in collaboration with Google, the JioPhone Next is primarily a budget smartphone aimed at first-time smartphone buyers at a very low price. It runs on a special version of Google’s Android operating system and will bring optimized versions of various Google features, including voice search, cameras, and the promise of timely software updates.jil
While Reliance has not revealed the specifications of the smartphone, the product presentation had plenty of feature-related announcements. The JioPhone Next will come with deep integration of Google Voice Assistant, due to which the smartphone also has automatic read-aloud of screen text language translation. The camera on the smartphone, which is rumoured to be a 13MP shooter, will support augmented reality filters. The smartphone will support multiple Indian regional languages.
