When we talk about 5G capable smartphones in India, apparently, iPhone 12 is the most popular device. It is not much surprising as the cost of the iPhone 12 series fell pretty heavily once it went on discounted sales on Amazon and Flipkart multiple times. Even Apple has discounted the price of the device officially on its online India store. Ookla, a global leader in network intelligence and insights, has... Read More

While Vi was able to give users a taste of how fast its 5G networks would be at the India Mobile Congress 2022, there's just... Read More

Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel have launched 5G network services in the nation ahead of the 5G launch on October 1, 2022, by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

5G is going to be very capex intensive, more so than 4G. The infrastructure needs to be denser, and the standalone (SA) technology that Jio is going for would mean more expenditure.
