Launch of JioBook, a 15,000 rupee 4G-capable laptop, by Reliance Jio

In New Delhi: According to two people who spoke to Reuters, Reliance Jio will introduce a low-cost laptop with an inbuilt 4G sim card for $184 (15,000 Indian rupees), hoping to duplicate the success of its low-cost JioPhone in India’s very price-sensitive market.
For the JioBook, the Mukesh Ambani-led conglomerate has worked with tech behemoths Qualcomm and Microsoft, with the former providing its computer chips, which are based on Arm Ltd. technology, and the latter offering support for some apps.

With more than 420 million customers, Jio is India’s largest telecom provider. Jio did not immediately react to a request for comment.

The laptop will be made accessible to business users this month, including universities and government agencies, with a consumer launch likely within the next three months, according to sources. A 5G-capable version will come after, much like with the JioPhone.

One of the persons with intimate knowledge of the situation told Reuters that “this will be as large as JioPhone.”

According to Counterpoint, the device has been India’s best-selling sub-$100 smartphone since its late-year launch, holding a fifth of the market for the past three quarters.

According to one of the sources, Flex, a local contract manufacturer, would produce the JioBook, with Jio hoping to sell “hundreds of thousands” of them by the end of March.

According to the research company IDC, 14.8 million PCs were shipped to India overall last year, with HP, Dell, and Lenovo leading the way.

According to Counterpoint analyst Tarun Pathak, the introduction of the JioBook will increase the overall addressable laptop market sector by at least 15%.

Jio’s own JioOS operating system will be used on the laptop, and programmes may be downloaded via the JioStore. Jio is promoting the laptop as an alternative to tablets for corporate workers who work outside of the office.

When Jio introduced affordable 4G internet plans and free voice services in 2016, it is credited with upending the world’s second-largest mobile market. In 2020, Jio raised approximately $22 billion from international investors including KKR & Co Inc and Silver Lake.

Surfaces of the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra with Snapdragon 8S Gen 3

Early this week, renders of the Edge 50 Fusion appeared, and Motorola has previously stated that the Edge 50 Pro will ship on April 3. The highest-end smartphone in the Edge 50 series, the Edge 50 Ultra, has now been shown in renders.

The phone is depicted in the renderings in peach fuzz and black with a vegan leather finish, while sisal, a beige color, will have a brushed surface. As opposed to the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 in the Pro variant and the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 in the Edge 50 Fusion, the phone is reportedly powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC.

A 50MP primary camera, an ultra-wide camera, and a periscope telephoto camera with a 5x optical zoom are all included in the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra’s feature set. Additionally, there is a triple LED flash on the right side and a laser autofocus feature above the periscope lens.

Although the phone’s display, battery, and charging specifications are yet unknown, the Edge 50 Pro is said to include 12GB of RAM and support both 50W and 125W wired and wireless charging.

It is anticipated that this will launch as the Motorola X50 Ultra in China. It is unclear if the India launch may be expected on the same day as the rest of the Edge 50 series phones, even if this is scheduled to go official on April 3.
