PM has launched the 5G service in India today at the India Mobile Congress event held in New Delhi.
5G service in India will start in a phase-wise manner. During the first phase, only 13 select cities will get fast-speed internet service. Let us know which cities are going to start 5G service first:
Ahmedabad
Bengaluru
Chandigarh
Chennai
Delhi
Gandhinagar
Gurugram
Hyderabad
Jamnagar
Kolkata
Lucknow
Mumbai
Pune
Now, does this mean that everyone living in these cities will get access to 5G services when they are first rolled out? It is unlikely as the telcos may provide access to 5G in select areas of these cities. Even in these cities, 5G may take a long time to reach everyone.
Meanwhile, here is how to check if your phone is 5g enabled.
Step 1: On your Android phone, go to the Settings app.
Step 2: Click on ‘Wi-Fi & Networks’ option.
Step 3: Now click on ‘SIM & Network’ option.
Step 4: Now you will see a list of all the technologies under the ‘Preferred network type’ option.
Step 5: If your phone supports 5G, it will be listed as 2G/3G/4G/5G.
The two big telecom companies Reliance Jio and Airtel can launch their 5G service in India by the end of this month.
