Reliance Jio reportedly working on JioBook low-cost laptop with Android-based JioOS, 4G connectivity

Reliance Jio may foray into India’s burgeoning laptop market soon. The JioPhone maker is currently working on the ‘JioBook’, a low-cost laptop with Android-based JioOS software and 4G connectivity, according to a new report. That Jio may enter this category isn’t surprising. Reports dating back to 2018 have suggested Jio’s interest in launching an affordable laptop though it is only now we’re getting some more finer details.

Citing internal documents, XDA Developers is reporting that work on the ‘JioBook’ started sometime in September last year and development is expected to continue through the first half of this year. The laptop is expected to reach the Product Validation Test stage by mid-April and may be launched by the end of this year. A prototype image accompanying the report gives some idea about what the laptop could look like eventually.
