After months of wait, Google is finally rolling out a 5G support software update for its compatible devices in India. The update is a part of the search giant’s March Pixel feature drop. This means that with the latest software version, Pixel 7, 7 Pro, and Pixel 6a users can now experience and enjoy the latest-generation cellular network. 

While 5G was launched in October last year, a host of OEMs finished the rollout of the 5G support update for their devices by December. With the latest Pixel March feature drop update, the Pixel 7, 7 Pro, and Pixel 6a are now compatible with 5G networks on Indian carriers such as Airtel and Jio. Pixel users on Twitter also confirmed about the same. 

The March Pixel feature drop update weighs 457MB in size. Users need to download and install this on their devices. Additionally, users need to ensure that they use Airtel or Jio SIM on their compatible Pixel device as Vi and BSNL do not support 5G in India. To activate 5G go to Settings > Tap on Network and Internet > Choose a SIM that supports 5G  and tap on Network preferences. It will then show three options – 5G, LTE, and 3G out of which 5G is to be selected. 

Apart from the 5G support update, the March Pixel feature drop update also brings features like night sight, magic eraser, health connect, and direct call features to older Pixel devices. It also allows users to enable 2 eSIMs simultaneously on the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro without using a physical SIM, however, this is only compatible with select carriers or networks.
