5G on Samsung in India

[Sushubh]

So my Samsung Galaxy S21 FE has been catching Airtel 5G pretty regularly around Gurgaon in open spaces. I am not running speedtests because I am on a limited yearly data plan. I haven’t really noticed any improvement in general browsing speeds. In fact, internet struggles to work when I am in a moving car and phone is showing 5G signal as it keeps losing 5G signal and tries connecting to 4G. Overall, it has been just a novelty thing for someone like me. But it does seem like a good solution for crowded places like stadiums and malls.

What's 5G, a sad iPhone user(waiting for carrier update)?

Airtel deployed 5g on n78 which causes coverage problems hope Airtel buys n28 spectrum like jio next year for mass deployment

 

[itzmynet]

They would deploy on n8/n3 at a later stage

Airtel has n8 in small quantities for some states like kerala has only 4.6 mhz block,Tamilnadu 5 mhz while jio has n5 and n28 each with 10 mhz block for all states
