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

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
