Jio Platforms and Google have jointly developed the Pragati operating system for JioPhone Next, which is expected to be in the market around Diwali, according to a video released by Jio on Monday.

The phone will use a language translation tool as a special feature to enable communication between vernacular speakers in India. “Pragati OS, powered by Android, is a result of... bringing together the best minds at Jio and Google,” Android GM and India engineering lead Ram Papatla said in the video.

JioPhone Next will have a translation feature working in 10 Indian languages.
