It is this impossible challenge that Reliance Jio is fighting head on. Of course, it will be affordable and you will get Google services, but the real question is can you call the JioPhone Next, a true Android smartphone? Given the hardware requirements of Android 12 and popular Android apps, it is virtually impossible for a brand to make profit by selling a smartphone in 2021 under Rs 5,000.
The JioPhone Next is the next big launch in the Indian mobile market as it aims to introduce 300 million 2G feature phone users to smartphones for the first time.
