Reliance Jio announced the JioPhone Next back in June but not much has been said since then. The Next is a product of the partnership between Google and Reliance Jio to produce affordable Android smartphones. Although we are still in the dark on the full official specs list for it, some details of the JioPhone Next have surfaced online pertaining to its specifications and pricing. This is coming ahead of the launch slated for September 10.

A tipster has hinted that the smartphone will be priced at around Rs. 3,499 (~$47). This should make it the cheapest phone in its category if that pans out. Reliance Jio chairman Mukesh Ambani had earlier disclosed that the Next will rank as the most affordable smartphone not just in India but in the global market.

The tipster also shared some of the key specifications of the model. The model number of the yet-to-be-released Jio Phone Next is LS-5701-J and some of the specs available as per the latest leak include a Qualcomm 215 Mobile Platinum processor, Android 11 Go, Duo Go and Google Camera Go preinstalled, an HD+ screen resolution. We are still not sure what the screen size looks like. The dual SIM module supports dual 4G VoLTE connectivity, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 4.2. 

The camera setup of the smartphone consists of a 13MP OmniVision rear camera sensor and an 8MP front camera. which supports 1080P video recording. The smartphone will have 3GB of RAM while the internal storage capacity is not known yet. Battery specification and battery life are not known also. 

The smartphone is definitely targeted at the low end of the spectrum in India. We await further development ahead of the September 10 launch date.
