As of July 9, 2025, there are no officially released Jio 5G phones available in the market, based on the latest information. All current JioPhone models, such as the JioPhone Next and JioPhone 2, are 4G-compatible only. However, there are rumors and speculations about an upcoming JioPhone 5G, with no confirmed release date.
Rumored JioPhone 5G Details:
- Specifications: The JioPhone 5G is rumored to feature a 6.5-inch HD+ touchscreen (720×1600 pixels), Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 Plus processor, 4GB RAM, 32GB expandable storage, a 5000mAh battery, and Android 11 (Go Edition). It may include a dual rear camera (13MP + 2MP) and an 8MP front camera.
- Release Date: No official launch date has been confirmed, but sources suggest it is still in development.
- Availability: Not yet available for purchase, and Jio has not provided updates on its release as of the latest reports.
Jio 5G Network Updates:
- Jio’s True 5G network is expanding, available in over 2,500 cities across India as of April 2023, with plans for further rollout. No new SIM is required for Jio 5G, as existing 4G SIMs are 5G-compatible.
- Recent posts on X indicate issues with Jio 5G connectivity in some areas, such as signal fluctuations and reduced coverage, but these are user-specific complaints and not indicative of a broader network update.
- Jio has introduced 5.5G support, which may show as “5GA” on compatible devices, offering higher speeds and lower latency using carrier aggregation technology. However, this requires specific device support, and no JioPhone currently supports it.
Other Relevant Information:
- JioPhone Next (4G): This remains a 4G smartphone with features like voice assistance, a smart camera, and access to Jio apps (JioTV, JioCinema, etc.). It runs an optimized Android version with automatic software updates.
- 5G-Compatible Phones: Jio’s 5G network supports various non-Jio 5G smartphones (e.g., Samsung, Vivo, Realme, OnePlus models) with specific recharge plans (Rs. 239 or higher) and the Jio Welcome Offer for unlimited 5G data.
- Software Updates: For existing JioPhones (4G), firmware updates can be downloaded over Jio’s 4G network or Wi-Fi, taking up to 10 minutes. Users are advised not to turn off the device during updates.

The JioPhone 5G has not been officially released as of July 9, 2025, so no confirmed price is available. Rumors suggest the following price ranges in India:
- ₹6,000–₹12,000: Most sources estimate the JioPhone 5G to be priced between ₹9,000 and ₹11,990 for a 4GB RAM + 64GB storage variant, with some suggesting a lower-end model (less RAM/storage) could start at ₹6,000–₹8,000.
- ₹3,999 (Unlikely): One source claims a Jio 5G phone with a 6500mAh battery and 120MP camera could be priced at ₹3,999, but this seems speculative and inconsistent with other reports, as such high-end specs are improbable at this price.
For comparison, existing JioPhones (4G) are priced as follows:
