Here's Why You Should Wait a Few Months Before Purchasing a 5G Phone in India

While smartphone brands are preparing themselves for the 5G revolution in India, with the release of 5G-compatible phones, telecom companies are yet to purchase the spectrum for the 5G network. Some sources claim that this could take at least another year. So instead of paying a premium for 5G-enabled phones now, it is advisable to wait until the network infrastructure is developed. 

Furthermore, with OnePlus recently unveiling India’s first affordable 5G-enabled phone in OnePlus Nord, there are now rumors about other brands unveiling 5G-enabled smartphones at affordable prices in the not-too-distant future.

Thus, it is recommended that you wait for another 12-18 months before purchasing a 5G-enabled smartphone. However, if you are looking to purchase or upgrade your phone right away, we have curated a list of the best mobiles under 20000 INR available in the market today.
