After conquering the telecom and feature phone segments, Reliance Jio seems to be setting its eyes on India’s laptop market. A new report by XDA Developers claims that Reliance Jio is working on a low-cost 4G LTE-enabled laptop called JioBook. According to the firmware reviewed by the publication, Jio is reportedly developing a laptop running a forked version of Android. Months after the JioPhone launch in 2017, Jio revealed that it is closely working with Qualcomm for a cheap 4G laptop. It has been close to three years since this information came out and the first product between both the parties could arrive soon. That said, the JioBook leaked online was running on Snapdragon 665 Mobile Platform. Furthermore, the report also claimed that Jio is taking the help of Bluebank Communication Technology based out of China to manufacture the JioBook. Here’s everything we know about the JioBook.
What to Expect from JioBook?
Reliance Jio is closely working with Google to develop a low-cost 4G Android smartphone. This device will likely hit the market anytime in Q2 2021. Now, apart from the 4G smartphones, India’s biggest telco seems to be working with Qualcomm to develop an affordable laptop. The firmware accessed by XDA says the laptop will be named ‘JioBook.’ It will run a forked version of Android 10, and Jio will be naming it as ‘JioOS.’ Reliance Jio was one of the early adopters of KaiOS. Both generations of JioPhones are powered by KaiOS itself.
