Earlier in 2021, Reliance Jio launched the Jio Phone Next in collaboration with Google.
Reliance Jio is expected to launch a new Jio Phone 5G in India soon. The telco has already confirmed that it is working on the phone but has not revealed the launch date yet. Earlier in 2021, Reliance Jio launched the Jio Phone Next in collaboration with Google. The phone supports 4G but now that the country is readying for the 5G rollout, Reliance wants to make an affordable 5G phone available to users. On a related note, the telecom company is all set to rollout 5G services in India on the occasion of 75th independence day.
Jio Phone 5G is expected to be launched later this year, as per reports. As far as the pricing of the phone is concerned, the Jio Phone 5G is expected to be priced around Rs 12,000. However, another report claimed that the Jio Phone 5G is expected to be priced as low as Rs 2500. If the Jio Phone 5G is a smartphone, it cannot be priced so low. It can be the case only if the Jio Phone 5G is a feature phone. The Rs 2500 can be a down payment, which the customer can pay if he does not wish to pay the entire amount. The rest of the payment can be made via EMI. The phone is likely to come with bundled data and unlimited calling benefits like the Jio Phone Next.
Jio Phone 5G is expected to feature a 6.5-inch HD+ IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1:600 x 720 pixels. It is expected to draw its power from the Snapdragon 480 5G SoC coupled with up to 4G of RAM and 32GB of storage.
In terms of camera, the Jio Phone 5G is expected to feature a dual-camera setup on the rear which includes a 13-megapixel primary sensor and a 2-megapixel macro lens. On the front, there is an 8-megapixel sensor for selfies.
On the software front, the Jio Phone 5G is expected to run on the same Pragati OS, which is a custom Android software from Jio created in collaboration with Google for Jio Android phones.
