Reliance Retail launches  JioBook laptop at ₹16,499 – check out specs and other details

New Delhi, <keyword id="58448" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="reliance-retail" source="Orion">Reliance Retail</keyword> has unveiled its all new <keyword id="10873635" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="jiobook" source="Orion">JioBook</keyword>, a lightweight and pocket-friendly 4G-LTE powered laptop designed to cater to all age groups. JioBook touted as 'India's First Learning Book' will be available at Rs 16,499 starting August 5, 2023, and customers can purchase JioBook from <keyword id="10926" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="reliance" source="Orion">Reliance</keyword> Digital's online and offline stores, as well as through Amazon.in. The JioBook packs a punch with stylish design featuring matte finish, and ultra slim built, and is light weight at 990 grams. It features 4G-LTE and dual-band WiFi capabilities, powerful octa-core chipset for smooth multitasking, 11.6-inch (29.46CM) anti-glare HD display, Infinity keyboard and large multi-gesture trackpad. With its advanced JioOS operating system, design and always-connected features, JioBook promises to redefine the learning experience for every individual. "We are dedicated to introduce innovative products that empower individuals in their learning journey. The all-new JioBook is our latest offering catering to learners of all ages with its advanced features and seamless connectivity options," Reliance Retail spokesperson said. The JioBook will transform the way people learn, opening new opportunities for personal growth and skill development, the spokesperson added. From attending online classes, to learning to code, or exploring new ventures such as starting a yoga studio or delving into online trading, JioBook aimed to provide an exceptional platform for all learning endeavours. Earlier this month, Jio had launched internet-enabled <keyword id="17888486" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="jio-bharat" source="Orion">Jio Bharat</keyword> phones at Rs 999, packing-in cheaper monthly plan of Rs 123 for unlimited voice calls and 14 GB data. At Rs 999, Jio Bharat was positioned as "the lowest entry price for an internet-enabled phone". The new offering aimed to accelerate the '2G Mukt Bharat' vision, as India still has 250 million mobile subscribers in the 2G era with feature phones. Beta trial for first 1 million Jio Bharat phones started from July 7, 2023. Brokerages tracking the sector had said that the launch of internet-enabled Jio Bharat phones at an "attractive pricing" will enable Jio to gain market share at the lower end segment and signals a reduced probability of tariff hike in the near term.

Reliance Retail unveils new JioBook laptop priced at Rs 16,499

According to a new <a href="https://www.91mobiles.com/hub/jiobook-laptop-with-windows-10-receives-hardware-approval-ahead-of-launch">report</a>, JioBook’s hardware approval reveals that the laptop will be powered by Windows 10 out of the box. The listing also mentions that it is powered by an ARM processor, which means the Jio laptop could be an affordable offering. This would make sense if the telecom provider’s JioPhone strategy is anything to go by. The listing mentions a Chinese company named Emdoor Digital Technology, which makes ARM-powered Windows laptops. Jio will rebadge it as the JioBook when it is launched in India. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Jio’s hardware ecosystem could be expanding soon" comment="subhead" text="Jio’s hardware ecosystem could be expanding soon">Jio’s hardware ecosystem could be expanding soon</cmsannotation> Apart from the laptop, the Mukesh Ambani-led Jio could also foray into the tablet and smart TV segments, although the details in this regard are a little hazy right now. In a previous <a href="https://www.91mobiles.com/hub/jio-tablet-tv-launching-next-year-exclusive">report</a> from November last year, the Jio hardware ecosystem could include a tablet and a smart TV too, but more details in this regard are not available right now. The rumour mill suggests that the <keyword id="12632367" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="jio-tablet" source="Orion">Jio tablet</keyword> and <keyword id="3739690" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="jio-tv" source="Orion">Jio TV</keyword> could sport affordable price tags, mirroring the JioPhone strategy employed by the telco. This would allow Jio to target a much wider audience, especially at a time when affordable phones and tablets have become commonplace due to an increased need to study from home. While the Jio tablet could run PragatiOS – an Android-based operating system developed by Google and <keyword id="10926" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="reliance" source="Orion">Reliance</keyword> Jio – tailored for tablets, the Jio TV could offer access to popular over-the-top apps which are also available on the set-top box it sells to its broadband subscribers. The overall strategy seems to be a connected ecosystem of hardware and services, including Jio 4G, JioFiber, JioPhone and likely soon, the Jio laptop, tablet and TV – with the Jio network connecting all of them together. It remains to be seen if this is what Reliance Jio is aiming for, and how this materialises over the course of 2022.

It is reportedly a 4G laptop, and we may see a 5G variant in the future. According to a <a href="https://www.reuters.com/technology/exclusive-indias-reliance-jio-launch-4g-enabled-low-cost-laptop-184-sources-2022-10-02/">report</a> by Reuters, Reliance Jio is working on an affordable 4G-enabled laptop priced at $184 (approx. ₹15,000). The device will reportedly come with an embedded Jio 4G SIM card. Jio has been working on the JioBook for quite some time now, and a <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/jio-may-soon-launch-an-affordable-laptop/articleshow/87662052.cms">report</a> in 2021 revealed a few specifications of the device. Reliance Jio has partnered with Qualcomm and Microsoft for the JioBook. While Qualcomm will provide the Indian telco with chipsets for the device, Microsoft is expected to offer support for some of the applications. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="JioBook may soon be available for schools and the government" comment="subhead" text="JioBook may soon be available for schools and the government">JioBook may soon be available for schools and the government</cmsannotation> The report adds that the JioBook may be made available to enterprise customers such as schools and government institutions from as early as this month. A larger commercial launch is expected to occur in the next three months. As per the source, while the company will initially launch a 4G enabled laptop, a 5G version will be unveiled later. Interestingly, this news comes just days after <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/jio-will-launch-5g-for-the-entire-country-by-december-2023-mukesh-ambani/articleshow/94579338.cms">Jio</a> and <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/telecom/news/airtel-5g-services-launched-in-eight-cities-the-entire-country-to-be-covered-by-2024/articleshow/94579199.cms">Airtel</a> announced the launch of 5G services in the country. While Airtel’s 5G services have already been launched, Jio is expected to begin its rollout around Diwali. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="It will be the next JioPhone" comment="subhead" text="It will be the next JioPhone">It will be the next JioPhone</cmsannotation> "This will be as big as JioPhone," a source familiar with the matter told Reuters. The JioPhone was the company’s affordable 4G phone that became a huge success soon after its launch as it was the most affordable 4G phone. In addition to a 4G laptop, the Mukesh Ambani-led company is currently also working on launching an affordable 5G smartphone. The JioBook will reportedly be produced in India by contract manufacturer Flex. Jio reportedly aims to sell "hundreds of thousands" of units of the JioBook by March 2023. “There are cheaper chrome books as well. Challenges for the adoption will be user awareness and learning curve especially for the first time laptop users. Also non-windows is a let down too but one thing Jio can overcome here is the connectivity and software ecosystem, that wasn't working in favor of chromebooks,” said Tarun Pathak, research director of Counterpoint Research. The JioBook will reportedly run on the company’s operating system, JioOS. An earlier report had suggested that the JioBook will be equipped with the Snapdragon 665 chipset and offer up to 4GB RAM and 64GB of internal storage. We should know more about the JioBook in the coming days.

The Mukesh Ambani-led telco is now gearing up to enter the laptop segment in the country with an affordable offering. Earlier this year, a XDA <a href="https://www.xda-developers.com/jiobook-by-reliance-jio-jioos-rumor/">report</a> had revealed that Reliance Jio is working on a laptop, dubbed as JioBook.

In September, three JioBook models, NB1118QMW, NB1148QMW, and NB1112MM were spotted on the BIS certification site. Now, the NB1112MM variant has been spotted on Geekbench. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="JioBook features" comment="subhead" text="JioBook features">JioBook features</cmsannotation> The JioBook with the model number NB1112MM will reportedly run on the MediaTek MT8788 chipset coupled with 2GB RAM. Instead of Windows, the laptop will run on Android 11-based JioOS. The device scored 1178 points in the single-core test and 4246 points in the multi-core test. The MT788 chipset is an octa-core chipset with four performance cores and four power-efficiency cores. Apart from this, the company is also expected to launch a model with the Snapdragon 665 chipset. The company is expected to launch the laptops in 2GB RAM + 32GB storage and 4GB RAM + 64GB storage variants. The JioBook is expected to support 4G LTE connectivity and come pre-loaded with Jio’s suite of apps. While there is no information about the JioBook’s pricing, we expect it to be priced in the affordable segment considering its specifications. It will likely be aimed at students and first-time laptop users. We should know more about the JioBook in the coming days.

Jio has already launched two affordable laptops in India, including the<a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/gadgets/news/reliance-retail-launches-jiobook-laptop-at-16499-check-out-specs-and-other-details/articleshow/102283111.cms"> JioBook</a>. According to a<a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/cons-products/electronics/reliance-jio-plans-cloud-laptop-in-bid-to-reduce-ownership-costs/articleshow/105299632.cms"> report</a> by Economic Times, Jio is working on launching a ‘cloud’ laptop in the country, aimed at reducing the ownership cost. The company is reportedly in talks with manufacturers such as HP, Acer and Lenovo to launch the laptop in the country. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="What is a cloud laptop?" comment="subhead" text="What is a cloud laptop?">What is a <keyword id="19539992" type="General" weightage="30" keywordseo="cloud-laptop" source="Orion">cloud laptop</keyword>?</cmsannotation> If you are confused about what a cloud laptop is, here’s everything you need know: Jio will reportedly offer the laptop as a “dumb terminal”, which will just be enough to connect with the company’s JioCloud. This is where all the processing and storage will reportedly happen. What this basically means is that you don’t have to get the latest processors and expensive storage to get the performance of a top end laptop. You can just buy the laptop from Jio, which will likely feature an entry-level chipset. All the computing and storage will occur on the JioCloud and you will need an active internet connection to access this data, unlike traditional laptops where you can access files on your device without the need of an internet connection. “The cost of a laptop depends on its hardware like memory, processing power, chipset etc. The greater capacity of these hardware increases costs as well as battery power. What we are doing is, we are stripping all this and the whole processing of the laptop will happen at the back end in the Jio cloud,” an official familiar with the matter told ET. In addition to the cost of the laptop, the user will reportedly also be charged a monthly subscription fee to use this service. At the moment, there is no information about what the subscription plans will look like but we can expect multiple tiers, based on performance and storage capacity. If you already have a desktop or a smart TV, you will reportedly be able to access this service, without having to purchase the laptop.

While <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/telecom/news/airtel-5g-services-launched-in-eight-cities-the-entire-country-to-be-covered-by-2024/articleshow/94579199.cms">Airtel’s 5G services</a> have already been launched in eight cities, Mukesh Ambani-led <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/jio-will-launch-5g-for-the-entire-country-by-december-2023-mukesh-ambani/articleshow/94579338.cms">Reliance Jio</a> is expected to begin its 5G services around Diwali. If you are using a 5G smartphone and have an Airtel or Jio SIM, one of the first things that may come to your mind is what will be the cost of 5G or how much you will have to pay for 5G. Airtel and Jio are yet to announce the 5G tariffs in the country. However, the telcos are expected to initially offer 5G at an affordable price. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Airtel 5G prices" comment="subhead" text="Airtel 5G prices"><keyword id="4237866" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="airtel-5g" source="Orion">Airtel 5G</keyword> prices</cmsannotation> According to a <a href="https://telecom.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/airtel-to-finalise-5g-tariffs-soon-may-not-charge-a-premium-now/94630777">report</a> by Economic Times, Airtel is expected to announce the 5G tariffs in the coming days. Still, it is expected to keep the price low as less than 10% of users own a 5G smartphone, and high prices may make adoption difficult. "Today, only 8-9% of phones are 5G ready. So, whatever pricing you do for 5G will not determine the overall arc for the industry. There will not be any return on increased tariffs if the number of devices remains low. "Suppose you take a 13% increase in tariffs, and the uptake is really low, revenues are still zero, right?” an executive familiar with the matter told ET. The executive also mentioned a need to increase the average revenue per user (ARPU), which can only be done through a tariff hike. <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/telecom/news/mukesh-ambani-led-reliance-jio-hikes-prices-of-its-plans-by-21/articleshow/87965329.cms">Reliance Jio</a>, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/telecom/news/airtels-popular-prepaid-plans-may-now-cost-you-up-to-25-more/articleshow/87840177.cms">Airtel</a> and <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/telecom/news/vodafone-idea-hikes-tariffs-by-up-to-500-for-its-popular-plans/articleshow/87864183.cms">Vodafone Idea</a> increased the tariffs by up to 25% in November 2021. If a tariff hike is announced, all three telcos will probably be announced at once. "That has to increase, but it's a competitive industry. So, we can't do it (just by ourselves). Suppose we do it, and others don't follow, then we will lose. So, we have to wait and watch and see when the timing is right," the executive added. So, while we expect the initial prices to be low, the telcos may increase the prices once the services are launched across the country. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Reliance Jio 5G prices" comment="subhead" text="Reliance Jio 5G prices">Reliance <keyword id="6668253" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="jio-5g" source="Orion">Jio 5G</keyword> prices</cmsannotation> Like Airtel, Jio is yet to announce its 5G tariffs.

"We will always remain affordable. This is Jio's lifetime stand and will offer more value to customers,” a Jio executive told ET. The executive added that customers would not be required to purchase a new SIM to use its 5G services. "There is no need to take service separately, and no SIM change is required for consumers, and by providing an option, they will be automatically upgraded to 5G,” the executive added.

The improvement was reportedly due to pent-up demand and improved macroeconomic conditions. “In Q2 2023, OEMs saw improvement in the inventory and demand situation ahead of the coming festive season. Aggressive measures were implemented by OEMs as well as channels during the quarter to clear existing inventory through multiple sales and promotions,” said Shilpi Jain, senior research analyst, Counterpoint Research. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Premium smartphone segment has takers" comment="subhead" text="Premium smartphone segment has takers">Premium smartphone segment has takers</cmsannotation> Despite a decline in overall smartphone shipments, the premium smartphone segment recorded a significant increase in shipments.

On a year-on-year basis, this growth surged 41%. Overall, 88,230 units were sold in the quarter against 84,930 units in the preceding quarter and 62,800 units in Q3 2021. “The appetite for homeownership has remained undeterred, with maximum sales being driven by end users. There has been increased new supply by the leading and listed developers, who also reported robust housing sales. This trend will very likely continue in the upcoming festive quarter as well since homeownership sentiment has increased hugely post the pandemic,” <keyword id="6420759" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="anuj-puri" source="Orion">Anuj Puri</keyword>, chairman, <keyword id="6596330" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="anarock-group" source="Orion">Anarock Group</keyword>, said.

NCR, MMR, Bengaluru, Pune, and Hyderabad together accounted for 90% of the sales for the quarter. The sales in Chennai and Kolkata made up 10% of the total sales. Residential property prices across these top seven cities registered a quarterly increase in the range of 1-2% in Q3 2022. On an annual basis, prices have risen in the range of 4-7% primarily due to an increase in input costs and demand comeback post Covid, Anarock said. Mumbai, Hyderabad top new unit additions MMR is also on the top when it comes to new properties. The region added 36,000 new units in the quarter and overtook Hyderabad – the city which ranks second in terms of new additions – by a large margin. Hyderabad added 15,530 units during the quarter, while in NCR, it was much lower at 6,400 units. MMR, Hyderabad, Pune and Bengaluru together accounted for 86% of the total new property additions, says Anarock. As many as 93,500 new units were launched across the top seven cities, against 82,100 units in the preceding quarter — registering a 14% growth. On a yearly basis, there was a 45% jump of new real estate property launched. In Q3 2021, 64,560 units were launched in the top seven cities across the country. Analysing based on price segments, the survey estimated that 36% of total new supply was in the mid-segment (₹40-80 lakh), 28% in the premium segment (₹80 lakh-₹1.5 cr); 18% each in the luxury and affordable segments.
