Google Pixel 7, 7 Pro and 6a now support 5G in India: All the details
Finally, Google Pixel phones support 5G networks in India. The company has been quite slow to offer 5G support to its Pixel phones in India compared to the likes of Apple, Samsung and Xiaomi who have been offering 5G network compatibility to their devices since December last year.
Google promised that it will work on 5G support with telecom operators and make it available in the first quarter of 2023, and the company has almost succeeded in fulfilling its promise. Google’s stable Android 13 update means Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro and Pixel 6a users in India can finally enjoy Airtel and Jio’s high-speed 5G network where the service is available. The new update is available over-the-air (OTA), and Pixel phone users can go to their phone’s settings to download and install the update right away.
Pixel 7 Pro 5G Update India: How to Install
As you may know, not all Pixel phones in India support 5G networks and you need to have a Pixel 6a, Pixel 7 or Pixel 7 Pro to use the connectivity option. The phone also needs to be running Android 13, and installing the new 459MB update will get you up and running on 5G networks. Here’s how to get 5G on your Pixel phone:
– Go to your Pixel phone settings
– Scroll down to System Update
– Check the latest security update from Google
– Download the update and restart the phone
– You will now see the 5G option in the mobile network segment of your Pixel phone
– 5G works now if the service is available in your city
Both Airtel and Jio are offering 5G support to people in certain parts of the country. Phone companies have covered more than 200 cities with similar 5G networks, and people are reporting data speeds of more than 500Mbps in some parts.
Pixel users can finally take advantage of India’s 5G networks, which were launched in October last year. Your current 4G SIM card is capable of using 5G networks, and you don’t need to pay anything extra to use 5G on these phones.
