The 5G revolution is expected to start this year, with Reliance Jio at the forefront. With over 400 million customers, Reliance Jio is the leading carrier. The company is also gearing up to launch its own smartphone under the Jio Phone 5G brand. Let’s take a look at the prices of the JioPhone 5G as well as the leaked specs and features.
Jio Phone 5G Price
According to an Android Central report, the upcoming Jio Phone 5G price could range from $120 to $160. It’s also possible that the Jio Phone 5G will cost less than $135, bringing the price of most of its competitors down.
Jio has conducted 5G trials and has just completed 5G coverage plans for key cities.
