1. What is 5G?
Before discussing this service, we need to know what is 5G. This is the next generation of telecommunication, which is being called the 5th generation. It is not only talking about internet speed. Rather, you will also get better calls and connectivity on 5G network.

2. Which phones will support 5G?
Almost all brands have launched smartphones with 5G support. You will not get the benefit of this service in a 4G smartphone. For this you must have at least 5G smartphone.

Even after this, you have to take care of the bands. Since the 5G spectrum has been auctioned now, there will be no need to worry about 5G bands in the new phones.

3. So will you have to buy a new phone?
The answer depends on your current phone. If you have a 5G phone, you probably won’t need a new phone. You can check the 5G support sign by going to the phone’s settings. In many phones, the option of 5G is also visible with 4G / 3G. For this you have to go to Settings> Connection> Mobile Network> Network Mode. On the other hand, if you do not have a phone with 5G support, then you will have to buy a new smartphone.

4. Need a new SIM card too?
No, you do not have to buy a new SIM card for 5G service. Support for 5G connection will be available on your existing SIM card only.
It is possible that companies offer you 5G SIM when you buy a new SIM card.

5. How much will the plan cost?
Telecom companies have not yet disclosed the price of 5G plans. But you will have to spend more money than 4G. There is no concrete information about how much this cost will be.

6. What will change?
After the arrival of 5G network, there will be no change in a day. Yes, you will start getting better calls and connectivity. Apart from this, the internet speed will definitely change in a day. Where you get 100Mbps speed on 4G, on 5G you will get speed up to 1Gbps comfortably.

7. Will Wi-Fi be needed?
It is not that after the arrival of 5G, you will not need WiFi. Yes, it may have some effect on the market of WiFi, but this will not end the business of WiFi.

8. Till when will all the people in India get the service?
Initially, telecom companies will launch this service in the metro city itself. Gradually they will be expanded to all areas. Jio told in the AGM that it will expand its 5G service to the whole country by December 2023.

9. Will 4G end?
Many people are feeling that after the arrival of 5G, 4G service will end. It will not happen that you will continue to get both the services simultaneously. Just like you get 4G and 3G together, the same will happen even after 5G comes.

10. 5G will open the way to the new world?
With the advent of the new generation of internet, many changes can happen around you. For example, you will get a completely different internet experience. Along with this, the next level of IoT i.e. Internet of Things will be seen.

The number of multiple IoT devices will gradually increase in your home. From WiFi cameras to smart speakers, it is expected to expand rapidly. However, all this will not happen in a day. 5G will bring a lot of new things for us, but it will take time for these things to reach everyone.
Apart from this, the trend of things like metaverse will increase. The Metaverse will be a new world for us, providing a real world experience in a virtual world.
Till now we used to see this in scifi movies, which will now become a part of our common life.
