At the moment there is competition to release cheap 5G smartphones in India. Companies such as Realme, Oppo, Shiomi and Motorola have released 5G phones for less than 20 thousand in India. In such a situation, if you are thinking of buying a cheap 5G smartphone in India, then stop. Here are 5 reasons why doing so may not be a profitable business.
1. There is no 5G service in India right now
Reliance Jio may have announced that the company will launch a 5G service by mid-2021, but this does not seem to be possible as 5G is not available in the country right now. Currently available mobile networks in India use 800, 900, 1800, 1900, 2300 and 2700 MHz spectrum. These spectra support 2G and 3G networks with 4G and have been around for a long time. However, 5G requires a new spectrum frequency and no auction has been held in India so far.
2. 5G rollout takes time
As you know, 4G service was launched in India in 2012. But it took several years for its infrastructure to be ready. Still, 4G services are out of reach in many areas of the country. Similarly, even if the 5G service is launched in the coming time, it will take time to fully ground. Even if you take a 5G phone now, you may have to wait two to three years to use the 5G service.

3. 5G plans are expensive
If you’re buying a cheap 5G phone, you’re a budget user. However, when 5G services are launched in India, 5G plans are also expected to be more expensive. The price of the 5G plan will be reduced only when it is fully spread across the country. This means that initially using the 5G service can loosen your pockets.
4. You have to compromise on features
Manufacturing companies need to use an expensive chipset to make 5G phones compared to 4G. This means that if a company is offering you a 5G smartphone at a cheaper price, this means you have to compromise with other features of the phone. You can get a slightly weaker camera or a smaller battery on a cheap 5G phone compared to other phones available for the same price.

5. By the time the service starts the phone will be out of date
We have already said that you will have to wait a long time to use the Bharat 5G service. This means that by the time the 5G network arrives, your phone will be out of date. The technology of smartphones is changing day by day. Features that are completely new today may be of no benefit after two years. Overall, we recommend picking up a premium 5G phone if you want to take a 5G phone.
