So how can you check whether your phone supports 5G network? We have explained it below. Now, if your phone doesn't support 5G, you'll need to get a new phone to experience 10X speed.

Steps to find if your phone supports 5G network?

– On your Android phone, head over to the Settings app.

– Click on the Wi-Fi & Network option.

– If your phone supports 5G, it will show as 2G/3G/4G/5G.

If your phone doesn't support the 5G network, you'll need to spend on a 5G-enabled smartphone to experience high-speed internet. However, several phone companies like Realme and Xiaomi, among others, are already offering affordable 5G smartphones. In fact, according to a Business Standard report, Qualcomm recently said there would be sub-Rs 10,000 5G phones in the future.

Before you spend on a 5G phone, make sure your network supports 5G. For example, if you are on a Vi network, get a 5G phone only after Vi officially launches 5G services in India.
