5G has already hit the headlines and is now available in India. You are probably thinking about how the technology could benefit you in so many ways. While the hype and expectations are certainly acceptable, you also need to ensure that you have a 5G enabled smartphone in India. Without a 5G enabled device, you would not be able to experience the brand new world of internet that 5G unlocks.
Worry not, there are plenty of 5G enabled smartphones from mid-to-high range available in India. Here’s a list of 5G phones in India that you should definitely take a look at.
Realme 9i 5G
The Realme 9i 5G is a power-packed device if you are looking for a 5G mobile under your budget. With the very best features around this price segment, such as a 90Hz refresh rate for smooth scrolling, 5000 mAh battery and latest Android 12 OS, this is quite a deal at just ₹15,000 for 4GB RAM version. If the 4GB RAM isn’t enough, you could also go for the more expensive variant that gets you 6GB of RAM. The device is powered by an Octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 810 processor, which is more than capable of handling what you throw at it.
Realme GT Neo 2
If you are a big fan of Realme and gaming devices, then the GT Neo 2 should definitely be on your wish list. You are probably aware that a modern-day combo of gaming and 5G enabled mobiles in India can be quite expensive. However, at a price of just ₹32,000, you will get an amazing deal. As the price may have suggested, this is a flagship device by Realme, and is composed of flagship specs and build quality to rival smartphones that are far more expensive than this.
The device is available in 3 different colours, and you can take your pick from any. Inside, it packs in the extremely powerful Snapdragon 870 chip, a 5000 mAh battery with a 65W charger, a 120Hz AMOLED display and lots more. Although it’s a gaming device at its very heart, if you are looking for a 5G enabled mobile phone in India with top-of-the-line specs and a lower price, the GT Neo 2 is right here.
iPhone 14 Pro
Any list that is about the best 5G compatible phones is incomplete if it doesn’t mention the iPhone. Apple’s marquee product, the iPhone has captured the imagination of generations for now. It is still one of the most popular smartphones in the market.

Just like every year, Apple has launched a line-up of iPhones across various price segments this year too. However, if you ask us to take our pick from this list, the iPhone 14 Pro would be the one. This year, Apple has introduced the Dynamic Island feature for iPhones. It basically presents a whole new way to interact with the notch on your smartphone. The device also has a brand new 48 MP camera and Always On Display. You also get plenty of lock screen widgets with the new iOS version, crash detection sensors and more. If budget is no concern for you, then the iPhone 14 Pro is the go-to device for you.
Google Pixel 6A
After two years of hiatus, Google has finally brought the Pixel 6A to India. Its last Pixel device in India was the 4A. Compared to the last device, the 6A brings in significant improvements. A bigger screen, better battery, and the biggest benefit of this device – the Google Tensor chipset. This is an SoC which has been designed with all the features that Google wants. This gives the phone that added a set of AI magic. And boy does it work wonders. The device takes its design cues from the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro. But since those phones haven’t come to India, the 6A is your only option.
These are some of the devices that you should check out if you are looking for a 5G network supported smartphone in India. However, you should also take note of the fact that many smartphone manufacturers haven’t launched the software update that unlocks 5G on their devices. Hence, even if you get a 5G device, it may take some time before you get 5G on your phone. If you want to check whether your phone has 5G or not, we suggest downloading the Airtel Thanks UPI app.
The Thanks app is an incredible app which unlocks plenty of features like FASTag recharge, electricity bill payments, DTH, broadband, prepaid/postpaid, instant cashless payments and more. Get it today!
