In June, Jio Phone Next was announced during the India-based Reliance Jio’s 44th Annual General Meeting. Following the announcement, the tech brand mentioned that the smartphone would hit the shelves in September.
However, the company didn’t keep to its word. Meanwhile, Jio made a statement concerning the upcoming Jio Phone Next last month. And the statement reads that the phone would debut and be available for purchase in time for the Diwali festive season.
The information from the statement suggested that the Jio Phone Next may hit the Indian markets by the end of October or early November. While the company confirmed the new launch timeframe of the Jio Phone Next, it didn’t reveal the phone’s specifications.
Fortunately, the Jio Phone Next has surfaced on Google Play Console. And its Google Play listing has revealed a few of its specs.
