5G / How to choose best 5G smartphone for you check these things

5G services have been officially launched in India and users are getting 5G signals in many cities. The process of 5G rollout will be completed across the country in the next few months, but users will have to upgrade their 4G phone to 5G to take advantage of it. Without a 5G smartphone, 5G services cannot be used.

Information about 5G plans will be shared by telecom operators soon, but before that you will have to buy a new phone. If you want to buy a 5G compatible smartphone, then it is very important to keep some things in mind. Some key factors are taken care of while choosing a 5G phone, then you will get the best 5G performance in your device.

5G Chipset

For 5G connectivity in the smartphone, it is necessary to have a 5G chipset. Such 5G chipsets get a built-in module for 5G reception. The new 5G enabled chipsets are now arriving in both the midrange and flagship segments. Apart from Qualcomm's Snapdragon 695 and above, Snapdragon 765G and above - all chipsets from Snapdragon 865 and above offer 5G support.

At the same time, talking about MediaTek powered phones, 5G support is available in low-end phones ranging from Dimension 700 to high-end Dimension 8100 and Dimension 9000 processors. The older G-series and Helio-series chipsets do not support 5G technology.

5G bands

The chipset of the phone decides whether it will get 5G connectivity or not, but in the absence of supported bands, even 5G phones will not give the full benefit of the next-generation connection. Many 5G smartphones support only one or two 5G bands, so it doesn't make sense to buy them. It would be better to buy a device that supports more 5G bands.

Before buying, check which 5G bands the phone supports. These bands will be shown on the device's product page or in the specifications section of the website. For a good 5G connection, the phone should have between 8 and 12 5G bands to provide 5G services on all networks.

software updates

Many smartphones support 5G technology but there may be some limitations in their software for SA (standalone) networks. In such smartphones, it will be decided by the brands by giving OTA (over the air) updates in the next few weeks so that users can get 5G services without any hassle. Before buying a phone, decide that it will get software updates for a long time.

Software updates will ensure that you not only keep getting new features for a long time, but network connectivity bugs or flaws in the device will be fixed.
