RIL said it plans to launch JioPhone Next soon. Kiran Thomas, President-IT-Jio Infocomm, said: “We aim to bring them to our network through which we aim to have a wide network for JioPhone Next. Reliance Retail has a good physical presence and after-sales service model, we plan to use that for JioPhone Next.”
