Last year, we witnessed the launch of the affordable JioPhone Next in India by Reliance Jio. After that, the company now seems to be focusing on their very first 5G smartphone – the JioPhone 5G. With 5G phones dominating the smartphone market right now, it only makes all the more sense. The smartphone has been a rumour mill favourite for obvious reasons. It will be super aggressively priced and the cheapest 5G smartphone that there is.
A new leak has now taken the curtains off of its launch date. The upcoming JioPhone 5G will reportedly launch sometime later on in 2022 itself. This has been revealed via a report by AndroidCentral. Now, this report also reveals the JioPhone 5G specs ahead of its official launch. Without any further ado, here’s what you can expect from the upcoming device!
