5G band support: Smartphone makers say in line with Indian telcos’ network strategy

NEW DELHI: Smartphone makers say that they are bringing out smartphones in India supporting 5G bands which are relevant for India but launching devices which support all global 5G frequencies at this stage will increase the prices for consumers.

“5G bands on 8 and 9 series have been decided based on Indian priority. N78 band is emerging as the priority band in India. The 5G message is very strong. Users will enjoy 5G in India and globally. Our intent for the Indian market is to provide 5G bands support across the product line,” Navnit Nakra, vice president, chief strategy officer of OnePlus India told ET.
