Although the number of 5G phones is increasing every day, the number of people using them in the world is still quite limited. Fortunately, this situation is changing over time. Lastly, Google Pixel smartphones have now enabled support for Airtel and Jio 5G networks in India. Google had originally planned to roll out an update to enable 5G capabilities on its smartphones in India in December, but the release has been delayed for an unknown reason.

Google Pixel now support Airtel and Jio 5G network in India

Users who have installed the Android 13 QPR2 Beta 2 update on their Google Pixel 6 and Google Pixel 7 series of smartphones will now be able to use 5G connectivity on both the Jio and Airtel networks. However, it’s important to note that this is a beta update, and a stable version of the update is expected to be released in the coming weeks.

The Google Pixel 6a, Pixel 7, and Pixel 7 Pro are the three smartphones that currently support the 5G network in India. The Pixel 6 is powered by the first-generation Tensor processor, while the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro are based on the Tensor G2 processor. With this latest software update, users can now enjoy a low-latency 5G network with improved download and upload speeds.

The Pixel 6a is the most affordable 5G smartphone from Google and supports 19 5G bands. Similarly, the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro support 22 5G bands, and all three smartphones have all the important 5G bands to provide good indoor and outdoor 5G coverage in India. However, it’s worth noting that none of the Google Pixel smartphones currently support mmWave 5G bands in India.

While users can try out the 5G network by installing the latest beta update on the Pixel 6a, Pixel 7, and Pixel 7 Pro, it is recommended to wait for the stable rollout, especially if you are using the device as your primary smartphone. Beta updates can sometimes affect the overall usability of the device.
