The text “ultimate speed, unlimited experiences” is imprinted at the bottom of the back panel.

The company had previously launched the Jio 4G smartphone, and now it is reportedly working on a new 5G smartphone, dubbed Jio Phone 5G. The handset is expected to launch soon, but ahead of it, a new report has revealed its pricing. Here are the details.

According to a new report by Counterpoint Research, Reliance Jio will price its first 5G smartphone in the range of Rs 8,000 to Rs 12,000 (Via). Jio would wait for its 5G network to spread before targeting a bigger base of mass-market 4G smartphone consumers with its 5G smartphones.

“Further, at some point in 2024, Jio will also be compelled to launch an affordable 5G mmWave + sub-6GHz smartphone as the cost deltas between the two have narrowed significantly from the overall BoM (bill of materials) fitting perspective,” the report said.

Mukesh Ambani, chairman of Reliance Industries, announced at the Reliance AGM 2022 that Jio will launch ultra-affordable 5G phones in collaboration with Google. Although, he did not give any pricing information.

Previous reports suggest the affordable Jio 5G smartphone will have a 6.5-inch IPS LCD display with an HD+(1600 x 720 pixels) resolution. The smartphone may feature a dual-camera system at the rear consisting of a 13MP primary lens which will be capable of shooting 1080p videos at 60fps and 720p slow-mo videos at 120fps. It will also have a 2MP macro sensor. On the front, the device is said to have an 8MP selfie camera.
