Jio 5G and JioPhone 5G can be launched by Reliance at the upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM) meeting. The company has scheduled to hold its 45th AGM on August 29. During the event, we can expect a wide range of announcements from the company ranging from its retail to O2C businesses. However, the most anticipated announcement is the expected launch of Jio 5G, along with JioPhone 5G. Reliance Jio recently emerged as the top spender at India's 5G spectrum auction where it purchased airwaves reportedly worth $11 billion (roughly Rs. 87,000 crore). The Department of Telecom (DoT) has confirmed that 13 cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Gurugram, and more will receive high-speed 5G services in the first rollout phase.

Reliance will host the AGM 2022 conference on August 29 in India. With the first phase of the 5G rollout expected to begin in September, the company could likely make the 5G rollout announcement at the event. The company was the biggest spender at the recently concluded 5G spectrum auction in India. Jio bought $11 billion (roughly Rs. 87,000 crore) worth of airwaves.

With the arrival of the imminent launch of 5G services in India, Reliance could launch the affordable JioPhone 5G in India during the AGM 2022 conference. A recent report claims that this smartphone could carry a price tag of Rs. 9,000 to Rs. 12,000. Further financing options are expected to bring its price further down.
