Reliance Jio, India’s largest telecoms operator with over 420 million subscribers, is planning to launch a laptop priced at just RMB 1,300. The company previously launched the JioPhone, a phone that focused on value for money and has been India’s best-selling sub-$100 smartphone since its launch late last year. the JioBook continues the JioPhone’s cost-effective thinking.
Reliance Jio has reportedly entered into a partnership with Qualcomm and Microsoft to plan the launch of the JioBook laptop, priced at $184 (about RMB 1,312).
The laptops will be available to schools and government agencies from this month and are expected to be launched to C-suite consumers in the next three months, sources said.
The JioBook laptop will initially support 4G networks, with a 5G version to follow.
