Adding one more feather to the already high-in-demand Jio feature phone, Google has officially rolled out its Google Assistant for this Reliance JioPhone. As a matter of fact, this is going to be first ever feature phone to have the Google Assistant. Google is introducing a series of such apps that will help India's entry level smartphone users the power of true computing.
However, the Jio feature phone does have an inbuilt assistant - Hello Jio- which helps with voice search, calling and even texting people. The fact that it will now have another voice enabled assistant is definitely a big news. This special version of the Google Assistant—the Google Assistant for the JioPhone, built for India in both English and Hindi—is launching today. As we already know, Google Assistant connects us to some of your favorite services, from news to apps.
At the #GoogleForIndia event Rajan Anandan stated, Indian language usage will explode as more Indians come online.
This will help bring the benefits of the Google Assistant to millions of first time internet users on the JioPhone with an intuitive voice-based user interface, along with a rich set of data services. The Assistant will help make phone calls, text, play music and videos, navigate and search the internet, and access other apps and services.
