Reliance Jio is working with Chinese original equipment manufacturer (OEM), Emdoor Digital Technology Co., Ltd., on the upcoming JioBook laptop which will feature ARM-based Windows 10, according to a report.

Earlier reports had suggested that the laptop by Jio may run a customized Android skin, dubbed as the ‘JioOS’. It was reported that the device may be powered by Qualcomm’s 11-nm based Snapdragon 665 chipset.

GSMArena said the “product name” for the device will be "QL218_V2.2_JIO_11.6_20220113_v2", and “found a vast ‘218-series’ lineup of devices on the Emdoor Digital Technology website.”

However, all these devices are either equipped with Intel or AMD x86 CPU and not an ARM chip. They all differ in designs too, so, Emdoor Digital Technology is “clearly customizing specifically for Jio”, said GSMArena.

Telecom had first reported in 2018 that a laptop with a SIM card -- after smartphones and the 4G feature phone -- could be the next big bet for Reliance Jio in its bid to increase its average revenue per user (ARPU).

“…we have talked to Jio. They could take the device and bundle it with data and content,” Miguel Nunes, senior director, product management, Qualcomm Technologies, had told.

The JioBook is the latest device in rumors after the JioPhone 5G, which will be priced around Rs 10,000 when it launches. An Announcement around the same is expected at Reliance Industries Limited (RIL)’s annual shareholder meeting in June.
