The JioPhone Next smartphone will run the Android Go operating system and will be equipped with pre-installed Google Camera Go, Chrome and Google Play applications. Sundar Pichai said his team at Mountain View has “optimized a version of the Android operating system specifically for this device.” According to the press release, it will support Android updates and will have “additional features.” The photo also speaks of support for a voice assistant, translator and a smart camera with augmented reality elements.
