Mukesh Ambani the owner of Jio platforms, and Google finally talked about their upcoming project, JioPhone Next.

Talking about the upcoming smartphone at the Reliance AGM, Mukesh Ambani said, ” India still has nearly 300 million mobile users who are unable to escape from inefficient and exorbitant 2G services, because even a basic 4G smartphone remains unaffordable for these users. Last year Sundar… (Google CEO, Sundar Pichai) and I had talked about Google and Jio co-developing, the next generation, feature-rich, but an extremely affordable smartphone.”
Most of the features and the launch date have already been revealed in the summit, whereas the exact pricing remains the only thing that needs some lighting.
