Jio and Google come together for 5G, leveraging Google’s cloud expertise and Jio’s networking prowess

(Eds: Adding more info) New Delhi, Jul 15 () Reliance Industries on Wednesday said Jio has built a Made-in-India 5G solution that can be ready for field deployment next year, and has teamed up with Google for developing affordable smartphones. Asserting Jio's resolve to make India "2G-mukt" (free of 2G), RIL Chairman Mukesh Ambani emphasised on the need to accelerate migration of 350 million Indians (currently using 2G feature phone) to an affordable smartphone, at a time when India stands at the doorsteps of the 5G era. Ambani also announced Rs 33,737 crore investment by Google for a 7.7 per cent stake in Jio Platforms, and said Jio will partnering with the US tech giant to build an Android-based smartphone operating system. Addressing RIL's 43rd AGM, Ambani said, "There are many feature phone users who are waiting... to upgrade to a conventional smartphone...if only it were somehow more affordable. So, we have decided to address this challenge head-on. We believe we can design entry-level 4G... or even 5G smartphone...for a fraction of its current cost". However, powering such a smartphone, would require value-engineered smartphone operating system, one that is designed with India in mind, he emphasised. "Through this partnership, we are confident that we can accelerate the national mission of putting a smart device in the hands of every Indian. As India is standing at the doorsteps of the 5G era, we should accelerate the migration of 350 million Indians, who currently use a 2G feature phone, to an affordable smartphone," he said. They should not be deprived of the benefits of the digital and data revolution, he added. Outlining the company's 5G plans, Ambani said that Jio has designed and developed a complete 5G solution from scratch and that once this 5G solution is proven at India scale, Jio Platforms will be well-positioned to export it to other operators globally too, as a complete managed services. "In the next three years, I can see a strong path for Jio to connect over half a billion mobile customers, over a billion smart sensors, and over 50 million homes and business establishments...," Ambani said. Jio's 4G and fibre networks are powered by core software technology and components developed by Jio engineers in India, he said. This capabilty and know-how positions Jio at the cutting-edge of exciting frontier of 5G technology. "I have great pride in announcing that Jio has designed and developed a complete 5G solution from scratch. This will enable us to launch a world-class 5G service in India using a 100 per cent homegrown technology and solution," he said. This Made-in-India 5G solution will be ready for trials as soon as 5G spectrum is available, and can be ready for field deployment next year. "Because of Jio's converged all-IP network architecture, we can easily uprade our 4G network, to 5G," he said. Once Jio's 5G solution is proven at India scale, Jio Platforms will be well-positioned to be exporter of 5G solutions to other telcos globally. "Jio platform is conceived with this vision of developing original, captive Intellectual Property, using which we can demonstrate transformative power of tech across multiple industry ecosytems. First, in India and then confidently offering these Made-in-India solutions to the rest of the world," he said. Commenting on the new partnership, Google CEO Sundar Pichai said: "Through this partnership with Jio Platforms, we see the chance to have an even greater impact than either company could have alone. This partnership is a key part of the next chapter of investment in India...Our investment of USD 4.5 billion in Jio is the first -- and the biggest -- investment we will make through this fund (of USD 10 billion announced on July 13)". Earlier this week, the company had announced its 'Google for India Digitisation Fund', wherein it will invest Rs 75,000 crore rupees (about USD 10 billion) to accelerate India's digital economy over the next 5-7 years. "I am excited that our joint collaboration will focus on increasing access for hundreds of millions of Indians who don't currently own a smartphone, while improving the mobile experience for all...there is more work to do to connect every Indian to the opportunities that technology creates," Pichai said. In a blogpost, Google said it has entered into a commercial agreement with Jio Platforms to jointly develop an entry-level affordable smartphone with optimisations to the Android operating system and the play store. This effort will unlock new opportunities, further power the vibrant ecosystem of applications and push innovation to drive growth for the new Indian economy, it added. Google said it wants to work with Jio and other leaders in the local ecosystem to ensure that smartphones - together with the apps and services in the Play Store - are within reach for many more Indians across the country. "And we believe the pace of Indian innovation means that the experiences we create for India can ultimately be expanded to the rest of the world," the blogpost noted. The global tech titan said India has been "central" to its Next Billion Users initiative that is designed to ensure the internet is useful for people coming online for the first time. "In partnership (with Jio), we can draw on each other's strengths. We look forward to bringing smartphone access to more Indians - and exploring the many ways we can work together to improve Indians' lives and advance India's digital economy," the blog said.

It has been nearly ten months since and Jio has not revealed any information yet. However, a recent leak has now revealed the design and some of the specifications of the <keyword id="4792220" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="jiophone" source="Orion">JioPhone</keyword> 5G. While it is not clear if the device has been developed with Google, this won’t be the first time the telecom operator has partnered with the tech giant to launch a smartphone. In 2021, the company had launched the<a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/jiophone-next-launch-in-india-price-specs-and-features/articleshow/87455678.cms"> JioPhone Next</a>, an affordable 4G smartphone in partnership with Google. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="JioPhone 5G live image" comment="subhead" text="JioPhone 5G live image">JioPhone 5G live image</cmsannotation> <div type="twitter" handle="ArpitNahiMila" handlename="ArpitNahiMila" favoritecount="0" retweetcount="0" id="1671799350329217028"></div> The new leak posted on Twitter shows the back and the front of the smartphone, along with Jio and 5G branding at the back. As expected for an affordable smartphone, the leaked device is expected to come with a plastic back. We can see from the leaked image that the device will feature a dual camera setup at the back, with the primary camera being a 13MP sensor. This could be equipped with a 2MP sensor. On the front, the device comes with a waterdrop notch with a selfie camera, which could be a 5MP sensor. The tipster has also mentioned that the device could be equipped with a Unisoc 5G chipset or the Dimensity 700 processor. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="JioPhone 5G launch and price" comment="subhead" text="JioPhone 5G launch and price">JioPhone 5G launch and price</cmsannotation> While Reliance Jio has not revealed any information about the smartphone yet, the tipster has mentioned that the device is expected to be launched between Diwali and new year. Considering that the company began its 5G rollout on Diwali in 2022, it is possible that it may use the same day for the launch of its smartphone. The JioPhone 5G is expected to be priced under INR 10,000. We expect the company to also announce bundled plans that will make the device cheaper. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Competition in the budget segment" comment="subhead" text="Competition in the budget segment">Competition in the budget segment</cmsannotation> The Indian budget smartphone segment is quite competitive and is dominated by Chinese smartphone companies such as Xiaomi, Oppo and Vivo.

"Once it is proven in India, Jio Platforms would be well positioned to be an exporter of 5G solutions to other telecom operators globally, as a complete managed service," he said. The announcement gains significance, as the government considers promoting Indian manufacturers and technology companies in telecom. In the wake of the recent border tussle with China the development of an Indian 5G solution is significant as there is anticipation that Chinese 5G solution major Huawei may not be allowed to participate in India's much anticipated 5G trials. In another major announcement, the RIL CMD announced that Google will invest Rs 33,737 crore for a 7.7 per cent stake in Jio Platforms Ltd.

The Jio-Qualcomm investment will also play a key role in ensuring the smartphones are affordable. The system on a chip (SoC) manufacturer commands the lead in manufacturing chipsets worldwide with 40% market share. <div type="image" title="snapshot-1594878283086" msid="76993386" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Qualcomm&amp;#39;s market share in chipset manufacturing&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> If successful, Jio could be a possible threat to Chinese smartphone makes like Xiaomi, Oppo, Realme, and Vivo who sell around eight in every 10 smartphones in India. This is a second attempt to make affordable smartphones by both Google and Jio In its mission to create an ‘entry-level’ smartphone, Ambani asserted that the company’s newest partnership with Google will play a central role. Reliance and Google will collaborate on the software side of things to create a new Android-based operating system for Indian users. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="76977043" title="Google picks up a 7.7% stake for ₹33,737 crore in Reliance Jio – the two will now build affordable smartphones for India" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> One should know that this is Google’s first foray into building an affordable operating system that can be integrated with entry-level phones. In 2017, Google launched Android Go — a trimmed down version of Google’s near-stock offering Android One, targeted at low-end ultra-budget phones — accompanied by lighter apps in the Play Store. The Android Go operating system is optimised to run with just 512 MB or 1GB RAM. The company claims that Android Go can open apps 15% faster than regular Android and comes with a data saver feature to help users consume less mobile data. Just as with Android Go, a partnership with Jio will allow Google to increase the number of users of its apps and services. KaiOS, the operating system on the Jio Phone, had beat Apple’s operating system to come in second when it was launched in 2018 — mostly due to the popularity of the Jio Phone and its budget pricing. The <keyword id="4792220" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="JioPhone">JioPhone</keyword>, Ambani's no-frills device for first-time smartphone users now has more than 100 million users. It will be a 4G phone to start with “The new version of Jio Phone, if and when it happens, we are anticipating it's unlikely to be 5G — it will likely it will be a 4G segment,” senior analyst Tarun Pathak told Business Insider. The bigger issue, however, is if these two partnerships are enough. The collaboration with Google could also put in mobile future partnerships aimed as making phone specially for the Jio network akin to the network-linked smartphones in the US. What Qualcomm may bring to the Jio smartphone The company’s JioPhone came with a Qualcomm chipset and that is likely to continue with this renewed partnership. “It remains to be seen how Jio will take on this segment, whether they’re going all out with a 4G smartphone or with Make-in-India,” senior analyst at Counterpoint Tarun Pathak told Business Insider India. How cheap will it be? To call it a “made in India” phone, Ambani has to ensure that the new Jio smartphone is not just assembled in India like in the case of Xiaomi, Apple, Samsung or OnePlus. Pathak estimates that 88% of the components needed to build a smartphone come from outside India, mostly from China. “Value-addition in India is just 12%,” said Pathak. “If you are not dependent on the Chinese you won’t be able to hit the price point which JioPhone has hit in its first iteration — like $20 or so,” said Pathak.

The invites customers in these four cities will get unlimited 5G data with up to 1 Gbps+ speeds. The Beta trial service for other cities will be announced progressively as cities keep getting ready, said the company. The users will continue to avail of Beta trial "until the network coverage of a city is substantially complete to provide the best coverage and user experience to every customer," it said. The company said that invited 'Jio Welcome Offer' users will be automatically upgraded to the Jio True 5G service without needing to change their existing Jio SIM or 5G handset. Akash M. Ambani, Chairman, Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd, said that Prime Minister has given a clarion call for accelerated roll-out of 5G across India to realise the full potential of a Digital India. "In response, Jio has prepared an ambitious and the fastest ever 5G roll-out plan for a country of our size," said Ambani. Jio said it is also working with all handset brands to enable their 5G handsets to work seamlessly with Jio True 5G services so that customers have the most comprehensive range of 5G devices to choose from.

This is reportedly aimed at boosting domestic companies as Chinese companies <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/mobile/news/four-out-of-five-smartphones-sold-in-india-were-from-chinese-companies/articleshow/93701715.cms">dominate</a> the Indian smartphone segment.

Reliance Jio has <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/telecom/news/jio-set-to-launch-true-5g-services-this-2022-diwali/articleshow/93854727.cms">announced</a> that 5G services will launch in India this Diwali, starting in key cities of India, including Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai.

Reliance already has good experience with churning out affordable smartphones. The company’s Lyf brand had a market share of around 7% in Q1 2017 and occupied the fifth position in the Indian smartphone segment. The company’s affordable JioPhone became one of the most popular budget phones in the country during 2018 and accounted for over 35% of the feature phones market share in Q1 2018, as per a Counterpoint <a href="https://www.counterpointresearch.com/india-feature-phone-market-doubled-smartphone-market-remained-flat-yoy-q1-2018/">report</a>. Experts also believe that Jio may benefit from a ban in India. “Sub ₹12,000 category will see very careful participation from Chinese players unless there is clarity. It surely is an advantage Jio but making 5G under ₹12,000 is also not easy,” said Tarun Pathak, Research Director, Counterpoint Research.

JioPhone Next launch delayed until Diwali due to chip shortage

New Delhi, Jul 22 () Tech giant Google will approach the Competition Commission of India (CCI) to seek approval for its Rs 33,737 crore investment in Jio Platforms for a 7.73 per cent stake, according to sources. Google plans to approach the CCI for approval on the deal in the next two weeks, according to the sources privy to the development. When contacted, Google and Reliance Jio did not comment on the matter. The deal, which was announced on July 15 at Reliance Industries' annual general meeting, will see Google pick up 7.73 per cent stake in RIL's technology venture Jio Platforms for Rs 33,737 crore. The partnership will also see the two parties cooperate on technology initiatives, including development of affordable smartphones. California-based Alphabet Inc (parent company of Google) joined Facebook Inc, which opened the investment cycle in Jio Platforms by picking 9.99 per cent stake for Rs 43,573.62 crore. Last month, Facebook received CCI approval on its transaction that was carried out through a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary, Jaadhu Holdings LLC. Reliance has sold a 32.8 per cent stake in Jio Platforms Ltd – the unit that houses India's youngest but largest telecom firm Jio Infocomm and apps – to 13 marquee firms including chipmaker Intel Corp and Qualcomm Inc, for over Rs 1.52 lakh crore. Jio Platforms, which is also amassing a wide range of services from music streaming to online retail and payments, is expected to use its 388 million mobile phone subscribers as the cornerstone of an e-commerce and digital services business to rival Amazon and Walmart's Flipkart. Google and Jio are partnering to build an operating system that could power affordable 4G and 5G smartphones. Also, JioMart, online shopping portal, and WhatsApp will be working closely to enable customers to seamlessly transact at mom-and-pop stores. Commenting on the partnership with Jio, Google CEO Sundar Pichai had said: "Through this partnership with Jio Platforms, we see the chance to have an even greater impact than either company could have alone. This partnership is a key part of the next chapter of investment in India... Our investment of USD 4.5 billion in Jio is the first -- and the biggest -- investment we will make through this fund (of USD 10 billion announced on July 13)." On July 13, Google announced its 'Google for India Digitisation Fund', wherein it will invest Rs 75,000 crore (about USD 10 billion) to accelerate India's digital economy over the next 5-7 years.
