Reliance Jio has shown interest in the early rollout of the 5G network. One of the most anticipated questions that every Indian tech enthusiast has in mind right now is...
When will 5G come to India? The global industry analysis firm has an answer to that question.
Analyst Neil Shah said, after conducting several analyses and researches, 5G will possibly come to India by 2021 and not any time before that."In India, 5G will pick up after 2021 when the ecosystem is mature and 5G handset prices start to falls". it is possible that after the full deployment that other telecom operators in India like BSNL, Vodafone, Idea cellular, and others may follow the same path.
India Telecom regulatory body, TRAI, is said to be pushing for early spectrum auction which is likely to happen somewhere in 2020. And also the Telecom operators are not ready for 5G right now because if their failing revenues and also lack of killer use cases for 5G in India market.
Most of the smartphone manufacturers have announced 5G enabled phones for other markets like the Mi Mix 5G. Smartphone companies like Oppo, Vivo, Nokia, Xiaomi, Oneplus, Huawei, and others have confirmed to bring 5G phones this year. But the truth is none of these 5G phones will head to India
we expect to see 5G phones coming to India only by 2021 and not anytime before that.
Some researchers note that companies like Huawei, Xiaomi, Oneplus, Vivo, and Oppo will have competitive offerings in the market.
Companies like Xiaomi, Jio, Honor, Vivo, and Oppo will consider bringing mid-range 5G enabled devices in India when the spectrum available in the country.
