Just after 4G, Jio is preparing for another major step. The much-awaited news on the Jio Bharat 5G has piqued much interest, which essentially comes from a probable cost of ₹2,499.
It is no wonder that with the brand reputation of Jio about making technology accessible, this might turn out to become the best option for the budget-conscious user seeking 5G without burning a hole in his pocket.
What could we expect from this new emerging product? Well, let’s break everything that has come up so far.
Jio’s Budget-Friendly 5G Phone: A Game-Changer for India?
India stands at the cusp of a 5G revolution but one big barrier waits for scores of customers: 5G smartphones are too pricey. The majority of 5G-enabled devices are still costlier, and it is likely to demolish that barrier with Jio Bharat 5G.
It could make high-speed internet available to all significant population groups, bringing the latest technology into daily lives at a small fraction of that cost.
The move would align with the history of Jio in disrupting the market, as it did when it launched low-cost data plans—changing the Indian telecom landscape for good.
Leaks suggest that the Jio Bharat 5G packs a slim 4.4-inch display. Although this makes it appear quite small compared to the smartphones of today, the small display might appeal to those looking for pocket-friendly devices.
The punch-hole design for the front camera should make the device look modern without any minuscule interruptions to the screen.
It’s going to sport a 720×1080 pixels screen, which should be decent in size, suited for browsing and streaming videos or casual games with sharp images.
60Hz of the display refresh rate isn’t something major in itself but could still deliver some pretty smooth visuals for casual use.
Rife with chatter concerning its use in powering the Bharat 5G with MediaTek’s Dimensity 700 chipset, the processor is not situated at the very top of the market but is extremely spoken of for bringing solidity and punchy performance into budgeting smartphones with great 5G capabilities on board.
The phone should thus run most day-to-day tasks—from scrolling through social media to light gaming—very well, but that’s where things settle.
Users will be treated to just the right mix of performance and power efficiency, which is key for an affordable device targeting mass-market appeal.
And it’s not just a matter of affordability; it’s meant to pack some serious hardware, especially in the camera department.
The rumors have indeed done it justice; there will be three cameras on the back, and one of them is touted to house a whopping 108MP primary sensor.
To say such a high level of camera quality will be seen in a smartphone from this price bracket is unheard of and would make the Jio Bharat 5G stand tall above a lot of budget smartphones.
The back will be equipped with a 12MP ultra-wide camera and a 2MP depth sensor for capturing portrait shots.
A 16MP selfie camera on the front should appease social media junkies with high-quality selfies or video calls.
Of course, like any smartphone, not even the might of megapixels decides camera performance. That will be achieved through software by Jio. Only time will tell.
Battery life is another segment that Jio Bharat 5G could ace. The rumor hints that it will arrive with a massive 7000mAh battery.
That alone could easily and comfortably provide more than one day of usage, even for heavy users. Long battery life has usually been one of the key selling points for budget-conscious buyers, and Jio seems to have considered that.
And there is a rumor about fast charging, which should enable you to fill this phone completely in just 45 minutes.
It would certainly provide people with that little extra for their money spent, leaving them with much more comfort and less downtime.
These variants of the Jio Bharat 5G will vary depending on how much the user wants to spend. The variations available will include a 4GB RAM with 64GB storage, a 4GB RAM with 128GB storage, and finally, an 8GB RAM for anyone wanting to do more multi-tasking.
These options make it versatile enough so that the user can pick one based on their choice in terms of budget and storage.
Price is something that’s most interesting about Jio Bharat 5G. Leaks report the phone would come in the ₹3,999 to ₹4,999 range, and this effectively brings it down with discounts and offers to around ₹2,499.
There are also reports that Jio plans to give EMI options starting from ₹500 to absorb this device by as many more users as possible.
Although the manufacturer has not made any announcement regarding the release date, analysts are expecting this phone to be released between January and February 2025.
If indeed those leaks and rumors prove to be true, then Jio Bharat 5G will turn out to be a revolutionary deal for the Indian smartphone markets.
That makes 5G affordable to one and all, and at least in the budget segment, it will pick up speed in its adoption.
Other manufacturers of smartphones would feel pressured then to cut prices or pack more features into entry-level devices to remain competitive against such a disruptively price-competitive strategy.
Hence, the Jio Bharat 5G device will also provide a further promising position for the telecom from this side.
With an increased number of users being upgraded to 5G devices, Jio shall witness increased usage in terms of numbers, with the revenue and number of users increasing further.
Conclusion
And it could potentially tear the market apart and bring 5G to millions of Indians. We can only speculate, based on the leaks for now, but if Jio delivers on these expectations, it could redefine what budget smartphones should deliver in a 5G-driven future. More news to come on Jio’s next big move.
