Now, in order to be able to experience the 10X speed, you will require a new 5G enabled smartphone if your current device does not support 5G technology. You can choose from the numerous phone manufacturing companies, including Xiami, Realme, Vivo and MI that currently manufacture 5G devices at reasonable prices.

Another thing that must be taken note of before deciding to spend money on a 5G enabled smartphone, is that you must make sure your network operator supports 5G. for example, if you are an Airtel user, wait to purchase a 5G phone until Airtel has formally introduced 5G services in the country.
