JioPhone 3 to be launched in June specifications are here

Reliance Jio is working to launch JioPhone 3 in India, according to Beetel Bite. The publication claimed the next generation JioPhone would launch "sometime in June 2019."

Moreover, the report has also leaked the specifications of JioPhone 3,
suggesting it will be a major upgrade over its predecessor.

JioPhone 3 will feature a 5-inch touch screen display

Citing a Reliance Jio executive, Beetle Bite claimed that the JioPhone 3 will feature a 5-inch touchscreen display.

This will be a major improvement over the 2.4-inch QVGA horizontal display seen on the BlackBerry Curve-like JioPhone 2.

Notably, the bigger screen will help users enjoy streaming videos and watch live TV from Jio's own streaming services and other platforms like YouTube.

Specifications :-

As per the leaked specifications, JioPhone 3 will sport a 5MP rear camera and a 2MP selfie camera.

This, again, comes as an improvement over the 2MP main camera and 0.3MP VGA front camera of the JioPhone 2.

Hence, with improved optics, JioPhone 3 would offer better video calling experience.

While the chipset to be used in JioPhone is not known as of now, the report does claim that the handset will come with 2GB of RAM and 64GB of onboard storage, which will be expandable using a microSD card.

In comparison, JioPhone 2 is powered by a 1GHz dual-core processor, paired with 512MB RAM and 4GB of internal storage (expandable upto 128GB). The report suggests that the phone could either come with a "full-fledged version of KaiOS or a lighter version of Android called Android Go."

JioPhone 3: Pricing and availability

According to Beetle Bite, the JioPhone 3 will be priced at Rs. 4,500 - a significant uptick over JioPhone 2's price of Rs. 2,999.

The report further states that the company would start accepting pre-orders in the month of July and deliveries will commence in August.

Naturally, the phone will be available via Jio stores, Reliance Digital stores, and Jio.com.
