Breaking Google Assistant for Reliance JioPhone

[abhi1276]

Google has officially rolled out its Google Assistant for the Reliance JioPhone. This is in fact a first for any feature phone, but then, those who know a thing or two about it would know, the JioPhone is a little different from any other feature phone in the market right now. Note that the JioPhone already comes with its own in-house assistant -- called HelloJio -- that can be used for voice search and fire up relevant apps, including calling and texting people. It's a bit slow, but, the fact that a feature phone has this functionality is in itself quite a big deal, to say the least. The availability of Google Assistant just adds one more feather to its cap.
