India officially announced the advent of 5G network services in the nation on 2 October after Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the next-gen network during the Indian Mobile Congress 2022 event. Now, the next step will see telecom players starting their services and launching their new data plans for customers.

In order to experience 5G, you will need a phone which is compatible with the 5G network. Many phone manufacturing companies have been releasing 5G phones for about two years now. Furthermore, Bharti Enterprises chairman Sunil Mittal has stated that Airtel’s 5G service will be launched in eight cities- including New Delhi, Mumbai, Varanasi, and Bengaluru.

How to know if your phone is compatible with 5G?

If you are an Android user, you can check if your device supports 5G by following some simple steps. Go to your phone settings, and then choose the “Wi-Fi & Network” section. Post that, tap on “SIM & Network”, then visit the “Preferred Network Type” section. You will be able to see all the mobile network technologies supported like 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G. If 5G is listed under the network type, then it means that your phone is compatible with 5G.
