Jio Platforms and Google have jointly developed the Pragati operating system for JioPhone Next.
The phone will use a language-translation tool as a special feature to enable communication between vernacular speakers in India.
“Pragati OS, powered by Android, is a result of… bringing together the best minds at Jio and Google,”.
JioPhone Next will have a translation feature :
“I am so proud of this new OS. All of us are. It has some of the coolest new features specially translated now.
I can speak in one language, and the phone will translate that into another language,” JioPhone Next product management Binish Parangodath said.
The phone will also come with a read-aloud function, which will read out content from any app open on the screen.
The JioPhone Next will have a Qualcomm processor and, will be manufactured at RIL group’s Neolync unit in Tirupati and Sriperumbudur.
“Jio Phone Next will help our nation become more and more Atmanirbhar,” Parangodath said.
