The next Jiophone is the next big launch on the Indian mobile market because it aims to introduce 300 million 2g of telephone user features to smart phones for the first time.
Of course, it will be affordable and you will get Google services, but can you actually call Jiophone next, a true Android smartphone? Given the requirements of Android 12 hardware and popular Android applications, it is almost impossible for the brand to get profit by selling smartphones in 2021 under the RS 5,000.
It is this impossible challenge that relies on Jio fighting.
But to balance his account, Reliance relies on Android Go and not the actual Android operating system that phones from Samsung, Xiaomi, Realme and others choose.
So, Android Go is an Android version that is stripped of intended to support lower class phones with limited hardware capabilities.
For example, the phone runs the Qualcomm 2 series chipset and has less than 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage.
Qualcomm explained the chipset 2 series, “designed for OEM that serves consumers who might not be able to gain access to quality, affordable, reliable mobile devices.” This statement by Qualcomm is enough to give you a clue about what will happen to Jiophone.
For notes, the next JiophoneXT is said to be empowered by the Qualcomm 215 platform.
But let’s talk about Android Go.

Overall, Android Go is just a stop-gap setting.
Of course, users will get access to Google services, 4G internet connectivity, youtube, maps, music, Facebook, whatsapp, cameras that can be done and other benefits of having a smartphone.
But when it comes to doing zoom calls, attending online classes, accessing educational applications and doing something productive, there is little hope you can do a lot with an Android phone.
Android Go is just a teaser for ‘real’ Android Phonessetsetset using a device powered by Android Go, anyone will tend to buy quality Android phones that will offer Android 11 or Android 12 operating systems with all the benefits.
Smartphone.
It’s more like a teaser but the problem is that most people who are trapped into a 2G feature cellphone don’t have the money to buy a real android phone.
While we can all agree that there are not many choices for them, whether Android goes will be useful or not useful is something that can be debated.
After saying that, Reliance Jio really deserves all praise because at least trying to provide a solution for 2G phone user features when all brands have left them.
But whether it will succeed, only time will tell.
