JioPhone Next is based on an optimized version of Android called Pragati OS. It comes with Play Store and over the air updates support for new features, customization, security updates and more.

JioPhone Next delivers great photos and videos: from clearer photos at night and in low-light situations to HDR mode that brings out wider color and dynamic range in photos. Google has also partnered with Snap to integrate Indian-specific Snapchat Lenses directly into Camera Go, the phone’s camera app, which will create a more delightful and innovative photo-taking experience for users.
