Late last year, rumours surfaced after a deal between tech giant Google and Indian telecom company Reliance JIO came to light that the two companies would jointly launch affordable 4G smartphones. But even though this particular handset is scheduled to launch in December, it has been delayed for some reason. Since then, there has been no official word on the matter. But today, Thursday, Google CEO Sundar Pichai said that the company is still closely associated with Jio for the purpose of making affordable smartphones; He also commented that work related to the mentioned phone is in progress.
In this context, I would like to remind you that Google bought a 6.7% stake in JIO last year for Rs 33,636 crore.
So the partnership of the two companies will see something amazing in the coming days, it would not be wrong to expect that! In that case, the Google boss re-ignited the idea of bringing cheap entry-level smartphones to market.
Google has invested 10 billion (Rs 65,000 crore) from its own India Digitization Fund (IDF) on Mukesh Ambani-owned Telcote since last year. But now they are looking for new ways to make the fund work. In that case, Google will announce something new later this year, according to Pichai.
At the same time, in the current Corona situation, the dependence of telecom networks on services and technology, Pichai said that they are thinking of bringing more affordable access to smartphones and computers. He also spoke about the company's development of technology and the ethical use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, citing the first beta version of Android 12 just released at today's conference.
