A recent report from 91Mobiles suggests that a JioPhone 5 is in works and before you get your hopes high, this is often just another feature phone. it’s said that the JioPhone 5 is a lighter version of the first JioPhone. this suggests it’ll retail for a way lower cost than the present price of the JioPhone.
Surprised? Yes, if the leaks are to be believed, the JioPhone 5 may find yourself with a starting price of Rs 399. This will, doubtless, make the JioPhone 5 one among the most cost-effective mobile phones you’ll stock the market. as long as it’s from Jio, the handset might feature support for 4G LTE connectivity.
JioPhone 5 speculations
With the presence of 4G LTE, the JioPhone 5 (or Lite) could find yourself running on an equivalent KaiOS platform. this suggests the phone could feature an online browser and a few apps pre-installed. We expect WhatsApp, Facebook, and Google to be pre-loaded on this phone. The phone could also make VoLTE calls almost like the first JioPhone.
The report mention that calls to Jio numbers is going to be freed from charge for users. However, to use the Internet, they’re going to need to buy separate packs. Jio could extend the JioPhone plans to the users of the JioPhone Lite or may even come up with cheaper plans.
Surely, the hardware is going to be compromised to stay the prices low. The phone may look just like the JioPhone with its small LCD and a keypad. Rumors have it that the Lite version may skip on the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. Additionally, the phone may even ditch the cameras to chop down on costs further. Limited storage can also not allow users to download new apps on the phone.
JioPhone 5 expected launch date
There’s no launch date known for the JioPhone 5 yet. However, Jio may announce it alongside the Jio smartphone later within the year or probably next year. Jio recently announced that it plans to return up with a reasonable 4G smartphone complete with a touchscreen and Android OS.
