TIL Desk/Business/Mumbai/ Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani on Thursday said Jio and Google have jointly developed a power-packed and affordable smartphone ‘JioPhone Next’, which will be available in the market from September 10. Ambani promised that JioPhone Next will be the most affordable smartphone not just in India but globally.
Speaking at RIL’s annual general meeting, Ambani asserted that an ultra-affordable 4G smartphone is essential to make India ‘2G-mukt’ (free of 2G). The country still has nearly 300 million mobile users who are unable to escape from inefficient and exorbitant 2G services since most basic 4G smartphone remain unaffordable for users, he added.
“I am pleased to announced that Google and Jio teams have jointly developed a truly breakthrough smartphone that we are calling JioPhone Next. ”JioPhone Next is powered by an optimised version of Andriod operating system…that has been jointly developed by Jio and Google…especially for the Indian market,” he said.
