In terms of optics, Reliance JioPhone Next will have a 13MP camera on the back and an 8MP camera on the front. It is also expecting to have a swappable battery and removable back panel. Mostly because feature phone users are still used to that kind of stuff. In addition, it will have dual-SIM card slots, an essential feature for budget devices in India.
Meanwhile, another major confirmation for Reliance JioPhone Next is that it will run on the Android Go version of Android 11. It will also have Google Duo Go, Google Chrome Go and Google Camera Go, along with a native Snapchat integration.
