OPPO, one of the world’s leading smartphone makers, announced that the company conducted a 5G standalone and non-standalone network trial in partnership with Indian telecom network operator Reliance Jio.
Reliance Jio, which is a relatively new player in India’s telecom sector but one of the leading ones, carried out these tests by utilizing the allocated mid-band trial spectrum which is in the range of 3.3GHz to 3.6GHz frequency range.
OPPO has further said that the 5G trial was successfully concluded on the Reno7 smartphone in a demo setup. The company adds that it could get lag-free 4K video streams on the device along with super-fast download and upload speed.
The OPPO Reno7 Pro, a smartphone that was launched in the Indian market a few weeks ago, comes with support for up to 10 bands while the standard Reno7 supports up to 13 bands that will support access to the 5G network anywhere in the country. The OPPO Reno7 is priced at ₹28,999 in the Indian market.
In a statement, Tasleem Arif, Vice President, India Research & Development Head, OPPO India, said: “Technology such as 5G is altering how the world communicates today and tests like these will further consolidate our efforts in the industry and provide the best value proposition for our customers.”
The Indian government is set to open auctions for the 5G spectrum in the country by the end of this year and is eyeing a commercial rollout of the next-generation communication technology sometime in 2023.
