Following the launch of 5G services at the India Mobile Congress a few days back, Airtel today launched its 5G Plus services in 8 top cities in the country. With 5G, Airtel promises up to 30x faster downloads compared to 4G that lets you download a movie in seconds, enjoy 4K videos without buffering, and experience smooth, new-age gaming, AR/VR.
Airtel’s 5G uses non-standalone (NSA) mode that works with most phones, and the existing Airtel 4G SIM is 5G enabled, so you don’t need to switch SIMs. All 5G enabled smartphones in India work with Airtel 5G.
You need to go to the settings tab and get to connections or mobile network, and select the 5G network mode to use the 5G services. Some OEMs are pushing a software update to enable the 5G bands.
