Jio Tablet & Jio TV: What To Expect?

Although, the report did not reveal the features of these products. The tablet is expected to be based on PragatiOS which was developed in association with Google for the JioPhone Next. Further, we expect a bigger battery, some pre-installed Jio apps, and a larger screen. In terms of processor, the upcoming Jio tablet might use a Qualcomm processor.

In terms of pricing, we can safely assume the upcoming Jio tablet will be a budget offering like other Jio products. It is believed to compete with other entry-level tablets in the market.

On the other hand, we expect the Jio TV will be available in different screen sizes and is believed to include OTT apps. However, we will suggest our readers take this as speculation until any reliable info comes out.

Jio Tablet & Jio TV: Expected Launch Timeline

As of now, the exact launch date or timeline is yet to be revealed. There is a chance Jio could launch both the TV and the tablet alongside the upcoming JioBook laptop which was recently spotted on the Geekbench listing.

The Geekbench listing revealed the JioBook might run the MediaTek MT6788 processor paired with 2GB of RAM. It is also managed to score 1178 points and 4246 points in the single-core and multi-core tests respectively.

The Jio laptop is also said to support an HD resolution of 1366x768 pixels and a mini HDMI connector, dual-band Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth for connectivity. It might run Android 11 OS. Looking at the features, one can safely assume it will carry an affordable price tag.
