Google aims to invest in the Jio platform for not only the development of Reliance Jio 4G phones in India or the Reliance Jio 5G Phones in India but also to proliferate and nurture India’s digital economy.
Earlier, Google announced the ‘Google for India Digitalization Fund’ where the corporate will invest INR 75,000 crores into India’s digital economy over the span of subsequent five to seven years from the day of declaration.
Sundar Pichai, CEO Google, once said, “Our investment of $4.5 billion in Jio is the first and the biggest investment we are going to make through this fund. I am excited that our joint collaboration will concentrate on increasing access for many millions of Indians who don’t currently own a smartphone while improving the mobile experience for all.”
Google is working on letting everyone in Indian with or without the past experience of getting and handling a smartphone to own one for them at reasonably economical cost. the main focus is to make everyone access the web and encourage digital payments.

Disruption within the Smartphone Market
Rushabh Doshi, a tech researched at Canalys quoted, “If history is anything to travel by, Reliance will undercut other brands and pose a real threat to the low-end smartphone market”. Reliance Jio already disregarded the 2G handset after launching JioPhone and JioPhone2.
Chinese smartphone market shareholders like Xiaomi, Realme, Oppo, Oneplus, and Vivo are highly at risk of losing out many potential customers because of this upcoming smartphone. likelihood is high that the Chinese mobile manufacturing companies may revise and lower down the costs of their products in upcoming days.
Reliance Jio has collaborated with Qualcomm for achieving an equivalent objective which provides a nerve grabbing thought that the corporate is damn serious about bringing new smartphones in India. the corporate has still not revealed anything about the upcoming smartphone but surely it’ll have Jio app pre-installed like Jio Saavn, Jio Cinema, and plenty of more.
It will be a very jaw-dropping launch whenever the corporate will bring its resultant smartphone in the market. it’ll be very exciting to visualize how successful the collaboration will go and at what reasonable prices, offers, and features will Reliance Jio 4G/5G Phones be available in India.
