In today's Indian smartphone market, 5G smartphones are ubiquitous across every segment. Alongside this surge, numerous companies in India are touting the benefits of unlimited 5G. Reliance Jio and Airtel are among the telecom giants offering their eligible subscribers the luxury of unlimited 5G. However, amidst the excitement, many users are facing complaints that even after purchasing 5G phones, they are not experiencing 5G speeds. If you find yourself in a similar predicament, here's how you can address it.

Checking Signals First

First and foremost, check your signal. As soon as your phone connects to the 5G network, you should see the 5G icon displayed. Additionally, check the network bars to ensure you are receiving full network coverage. Internet speed is contingent on the networks available to users. Check internet connectivity and speed in areas with good connectivity. If the internet is not working even in areas with typically good connectivity, try putting your phone on Airplane Mode and then removing it to refresh the network connection.

Verify Phone's Network Settings

It's also crucial to check your phone's network settings to confirm if 5G connectivity is enabled. Without this enabled, your device won't connect to the 5G network. Navigate to your network settings, where you should find the option for Network Mode. Choose the 5G/4G/3G (Auto) option to ensure better connectivity on your device.

Keep Your Phone Updated

Ensure your device remains updated because many devices don't initially support 5G out of the box; it's enabled later through updates. So, if you're encountering network issues, it's wise to update your phone.

Next Steps If the Issue Persists

If you've tried all the above steps and still experience slow internet speeds, it's time to call your service provider. Consider requesting a new SIM if necessary. Also, check the 5G speed on another device in the same area, as sometimes the issue might not lie with the device but rather with network tower deficiencies or excessive user congestion. By following these steps, users can troubleshoot and potentially resolve issues related to 5G connectivity and speed discrepancies in their smartphones.
