India May Soon Have Affordable 5G Phones Available for Under Rs 10,000
With India rapidly moving into the 5G era, it’s time for consumers to get affordable 5G phones so that more people can experience the new network technology. A new report claims that a sub-Rs 10,000 5G phone could be coming in the country soon. The device gives budget-conscious buyers a taste of 5G speeds, which frankly aren’t all that different from the country’s 4G speeds.
According to the report, a brand called Itel will launch this affordable 5G smartphone by the end of this month. Itel has already been a big player in the budget phone market, but a 5G phone is definitely an exciting prospect.
Industry leaders have been talking about affordable 5G phones expected by the end of 2023, and it looks like that timeline is on track, with more brands likely to enter the fray in the coming months.
This report also mentions that the upcoming 5G phone could feature a dual rear camera system, while the power and volume buttons are placed on the right side. Itel is a sub-brand of Transsion Holdings, which also has other mobile brands in the segment.
It will be interesting to see if Itel manages to grab eyeballs with the country’s first affordable 5G phone, and we hope the brand could pack a decent hardware under the hood to keep its performance level in the game and also support all the popular 5G frequencies in the country.
As it’s a 5G phone, we don’t think Itel will offer Android Go as base software, which suggests you can get 4GB or even 6GB of RAM in the phone to get the most out of 5G data speeds and any apps you install . device. Itel launching an affordable 5G phone can also lead to the entry of other well-known brands into the segment, which only means more choice for consumers.
