Reliance Industries said at the 45th Annual General Meeting (AGM) that it is working with Alphabet Inc’s Google to bring an “ultra-affordable” 5G phone to India very soon. The company said it had planned to cost $25 billion to get 5G network services up and running within two months. Reliance, which Mukesh Ambani runs, hasn’t said much about the 5G phone except that it will be “ultra-affordable.” We think it will come with a prepaid pack. The phone could come out at the same time that the 5G network goes live in stages. Follow hitsbuddy for latest news.
