Any decision on Qualcomm supporting the Jio-Google smartphone or its 400-series Snapdragon chipsets being in play in the budget smartphone would be “confidential to Jio and Google”, Qualcomm India President Rajen Vagadia says.
Kolkata: Qualcomm, the world’s top supplier of mobile phone chips, is likely to play a key role in supporting the Jio-Google smartphone in India even as the country’s telecom market leader targets the 300 million-odd feature phone users to upgrade to smart devices.
“Qualcomm played a critical role in massification of Jio’s 4G VoLTE feature phone, and having had a partnership with Jio, I think we will continue that legacy of collaborating and supporting them in bringing new devices and offerings, across price tiers that they would wish to drive,” Rajen Vagadia, president at Qualcomm India, told The Economic Times.
