What are the itemizations anticipated in the Jio 5G smartphone and Reliance JioBook?
- Reliance Jio Phone 5G itemizations
At present, the itemizations expected in the Jio 5G smartphone will be fairly entry-level. Earlier, we found out the price of the Jio 5G Phone in India could be Rs2,500 as for now we expect 3 models of 5G smartphones to be launched with different prices, including model 1 Rs2,500 to Rs4,000 model 2 and 3 above Rs4,000. We can anticipate it to run a Qualcomm 4xx series or some unannounced low-cost MediaTek 5G chipset. Even though the company yet, does not have a 5G smartphone SoC. It will run a new version of Android thanks to Jio’s partnership with Google.
- Reliance JioBook itemizations
It is expected to ship with a custom Android version. The JioBook is anticipated to feature a screen with 1366×768 resolution, with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 chipset along with the Snapdragon X 12 LTE modem. It would come up with 2 GB LPDDR4X RAM memory and 32 GB eMMC storage. It may also include some other features like a mini HDMI connector for video quality, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and more.
As soon as the launch date approaches, we could be able to get quite large updates and features about Reliance 5G smartphone and JioBook.
Does the 5G network service provided by Jio is pure 5G?
There are 61 countries globally that use commercial 5G networks currently, and more than 65 countries are ready to invest in this platform. In India, Jio digital life, the largest telecom industry in India, is about to offer a 5G network. There is a rumour circulating at present that the 5G network which is going to be provided by Reliance Jio is not pure 5G technology; it’s just one of the upgraded versions of 4G technology which lies between 4G to 5G, as earlier when Jio digital life introduced 4G network it used certain devices and SoC which can be upgraded to 5G network. Also, to provide a 5G network, new base stations should be set up over the wide areas, but as for now, Jio ties up with Google to provide a new Android-powered engineered system.
Is the launch of the 5G smartphone a trap to increase the 5G service users?
Certainly, the commercially available 5G smartphones cost above Rs30,000 or Rs40,000. Whereas it is not an affordable payment for 90 per cent of Indian users. So, Reliance Jio planned to launch a low-cost 5G smartphone, an affordable one for more than 70 per cent of Indian users; with this idea, Jio digital life plans to a large number of 5G users.
