Jio Phone 5G to soon launch in India

Reliance Jio is expected to launch a new Jio Phone 5G in India soon. The Jio Phone 5G is expected to be priced around Rs 12,000. However, another report claims that the Jio Phone 5G is expected to be priced as low as Rs 2500, which is very unlikely to happen as no smartphone are usually expensive.

Earlier last year, Reliance Jio launched the Jio Phone Next in collaboration with Google. The phone supports 4G but as the country is ready for the 5G rollout, Reliance wants to make an affordable 5G phone available to users.

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. 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.

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.
