Jio puts off rollout of smartphone
New Delhi, September 10
Reliance Jio on Friday deferred the rollout of the JioPhone Next — the low-priced smartphone it has developed with Google — to Diwali. It was previously scheduled to be launched today.
RIL chairman Mukesh Ambani at the shareholder meeting in June had stated that the JioPhone Next will be available for purchase on September 10.
The Jio Phone Next has been designed with Google and it is for those who are looking to upgrade from 2G to 4G connectivity.
Jio and Google “have made considerable progress towards launching the much-awaited JioPhone Next, the made-for-India smartphone being jointly designed by the companies,” the statement said. — PTI
