On August 29, Reliance held its 45th AGM, revealing that it will launch a 5G phone in collaboration with Google. However, the company did not mention JioPhone 5G, but a new revelation suggests the phone is in the works. In addition, Reliance, in collaboration with Google, aims to bring the cheapest 5G phones to the country.
The handset will be the Jio Phone Next’s successor. Furthermore, it will support Jio’s 5G network, which is set to launch in India by the end of October. It will be interesting to see if the Jio Phone 5G will only be compatible with the standalone 5G network or if it will also support non-standalone networks. As a result, the handset is also backward compatible with the 4G LTE network. This article goes over every known detail about the Jio Phone 5G, including its specifications, price in India, and launch date.
RIL chairman Mukesh Ambani stated at the 45th Annual General Meeting (AGM) 2022 that the company is working with Google to launch a 5G phone soon. He also hinted that the Jio Phone 5G will be unveiled at next year’s AGM. This is the second time Jio has officially confirmed the launch of its 5G phone in India. Jio initially announced at AGM 2020 that it will release a new low-cost, entry-level 5G smartphone.
According to rumors, the Jio Phone 5G price in India could range between Rs 9,000 and Rs 12,000.
