On October 1, 5G was launched in India. Hence, the use of the next-generation network has been already initiated in the country.

However, 5G services will not be available in the whole country in one go. The networking giant, Jio and Airtel have announced the deployment of 5G in a certain number of cities.

The 5G services will be deployed in a phased manner. There are 13 cities where 5G networks will be launched first including Gurgaon, Hyderabad, Jamnagar, Kolkata, Lucknow, Mumbai, Pune, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chandigarh, Chennai, Delhi, Gandhinagar, and continue to the rural areas of India.

5G is the latest generation of data speeds that not only make your downloads faster but also provide new features like cloud gaming and autonomous vehicles.

With the roll-out of the new service, 5G, it’s not guaranteed to reach all corners of India in a short period of time, which means that 4G phones can still be relevant. You shouldn’t rush to the trends that are going all over. Now, 5G is here to stay, which doesn’t mean that 4G should become extinct.

And to add up, as seen in the market, the 4G phones are much cheaper than the 5G phones. Most of the 5G phones are not budget friendly either. And the plans of 5G are deemed to be more pricey than the 4G plans.
