Reliance Jio Phone Lite could be priced under Rs 500 and reportedly doesnt support internet connectivity

Reliance Jio captured the entry-level smart feature phone market with JioPhone as the top-selling device till Q3 2019. However, the company lost its top spot as the most sold feature phone to Samsung, as per a Counterpoint Research report. It now seems like there is another device in the pipeline, which could revive Jio’s position in the feature phone segment. According to MySmartPrice’s sources, Jio is readying a new handset, which is devoid of internet connectivity and is reportedly called Jio Phone Lite. While the idea of any handset that doesn’t support internet connectivity seems absurd, it might just work out in tier II and tier III cities. 

The Jio Phone Lite’s alleged pricing might be set below Rs 500 and the company might announce a new Rs 50 prepaid plan for it. The recharge option is said to offer free Jio to Jio plans that will be valid for 28 days and calling others would be chargeable. As for the handset’s specification, the device could feature an alphanumeric keyboard like the first JioPhone and is said to come equipped with a small display of unspecified size. Other specs of the device are not known yet. It is also said to be priced around Rs 400 and one possible price tag is Rs 399.  

There is no information about the alleged Jio Phone Lite’s launch date. Jio is apparently surveying the device’s market reception with retailers so, it might not be long before the company makes the handset official. Reliance Jio coming up with a new feature phone that doesn’t sport internet connectivity may come as a surprise. However, considering how it can be helpful for a certain demographic and group of people, the idea could just pan out. This is just conjecture at this point of time and we will know more with certainty when the company officially announces the device, if it exists.

First Google Pixel 4a leaked renders show a punch-hole display, single camera and more

Google Pixel 4a has reportedly appeared online, tipping a new Pixel design. The smartphone is seen to sport a never-seen-before-on-a-Pixel hole-punch display. Moreover, the handset is seen to feature a single rear camera in the Pixel 4-like rectangular module. However, tipster OnLeaks suggests that Google could add more image sensors. Google Pixel 4a is expected to launch sometime in mid-2020. 

The latest development comes from Twitter tipster OnLeaks who has shared the alleged 360 degree renders of the Google Pixel 4a. While the Pixel 4a has been leaked in White, the report says it will launch in Black and Purple colour options as well. Moreover, an additional colour may be added to the mix. Coming to the display, Pixel 4a is seen sporting a punch-hole screen with a thin outline of bezels on all sides of the display. The handset is rumoured to feature a flat 5.7-inch or 5.8-inch display.

The rear of White Pixel 4a hints at a matte finish and a square-shaped module to house the camera. However, the module is seen sporting a single camera lens. Although, the tipster says more image sensors could be added. Apart from that, the fingerprint sensor could be seen on the rear as well. Hence, the Pixel 4a is unlikely to feature a Soli radar chip. That means it is highly likely to make its way to India. 

The White Google Pixel 4a features an orange coloured power button in the renders. The volume rocker are situated on the right edge of the screen, and the bottom edge houses the USB Type-C port and the speaker grille. Moreover, 3.5mm audio jack is seen on the top edge.

Google could launch the Pixel 4a at Google I/O 2020. The phone is tipped to come with 4GB RAM and 64GB of internal storage. It could be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 730 or Snapdragon 765 series SoC.
