Google has just announced that the Pixel 6 and the Pixel 6 Pro will be receiving support for 5G networking in India. The company had recently brought support for the faster bandwidth earlier this month for the Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, and even the Pixel 6a. Now, it is adding support for the two other Pixel 6 series models as well.
This is quite interesting considering the fact that the Search Engine giant did not launch the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro in the Indian market. Unlike its successor, the company only launched the Pixel 6a from the last gen lineup in the region. As of right now, the Pixel 6a will receive the update with the March Android security patch while the Pixel 6 and the Pro variant receives 5G support. So you can expect to see much faster data speeds over the last gen networking standard.

Notably, these updates arrives months after testing and gathering feedback from its users for quality and usability during the early beta stages. So now, users can head to settings to enable 5G connectivity from the networking settings in addition to the existing LTE and 3G networking. As of right now, it is unclear if and when the brand will bring support for 5G networking for some older models. This includes the likes of the Pixel 5 series, or the Pixel 4a model. Similar to the Pixel 6 lineup, these older smartphone models were also not officially launched in the country.
