This is how much the Reliance-Google made ‘JioPhone Next’ may cost

Reliance is set to launch a low cost smartphone running Google’s Android Go operating system on September 10. This smartphone is said to be super affordable and is primarily meant for those who cannot afford to buy regular Android handsets. India has at least 300 million 2G feature phone users and the JioPhone Next is expected to give these users an opportunity to use a smartphone and experience high-speed 4G internet connectivity.

Reliance Jio hasn’t revealed much about the device. Also, there is no official information about the price of the phone. However, media reports claim that the JioPhone Next may cost Rs 3,500 in India. It will be a sub-$50 smartphone and it is estimated to be Rs 3,499. Having said that, Reliance Jio may also look at further incentivising the device through carrier deals and financing options.
