The common saying goes, “change is the only constant”, and it has been holding true for several aspects of our lives. Even our surroundings and the ecosystem do not remain immune from evolution. This continuous process leads to wide-ranging changes. Similarly, in the sphere of technology, researchers and scientists are on their toes to never cease introducing convenient features for humankind. The 5G network can be considered as a part of this advancement, which aspires to enhance internet connectivity by a mile. In India, the field is being laid to launch the 5G connection. Smartphone brands are extending 5G sets in anticipation of the 5G network rollout in the near future. One smartphone brand that has been leading the pack is none other than OnePlus. An industry leader in the class of premium mobiles, OnePlus has launched several 5G smartphones in the mid-budget and high-end categories. Before delving into OnePlus’s role in this sector, let us understand the nuances of the 5G network.
What is the 5G connection? How is it revolutionary?
5G is the fifth generation in the domain of mobile networks, succeeding 4G. The human desire to become more efficient with every passing day gets reflected in the strive to render broadband cellular connection faster. The 5th generation of mobile connectivity will usher in more reliability, deliver lightning fast internet connection, bring down the latency levels and much more. A maximum network speed of 20Gbps will radically transform the world around us. 5G has access to an extensive spectrum, and it offers greater traffic capacity and network efficiency.
History of 5G mobile phones in India and OnePlus’s role
5G smartphones in India are newbies; the first model supporting 5G connection was launched in early 2020. Realme was first to leap in this direction with two of its models, X50 Pro and iQOO 3, entering the Indian market in February 2020. These models are high-end options priced above 40,000 INR. Other smartphone brands followed, releasing a host of alternatives in the 5G category. However, each of these variants found themselves in the flagship range. OnePlus was the first brand to undertake the aggressive pricing route and deliver a OnePlus new phone under 30,000 INR. Since the beginning, OnePlus has been a driving force behind realising India’s 5G dream. Though the 5G rollout in India is still on hold, OnePlus has carried on its endeavour to enable 5G connection in all of its devices. It is engaging with Indian telecom operators to analyse developments in this sector. The interaction and collaboration of OnePlus with the broadband companies will ensure a smooth transition to 5G whenever it rolls out.
