Can you get 5G on 3 network?

Go to Settings > Mobile > Mobile Data Options . If you see this screen, your device has 5G activated. If you can’t see this screen, contact your network provider to confirm that your plan supports 5G. Turn on Airplane Mode, then turn it off.

The 3GPP has already agreed to integrate 5Gi into the Release 17 standard, expected sometime in March or June of this year. This will enable hardware to implement 5Gi capabilities as soon as 2023 —appropriate since India’s 5G launch won’t even begin until the second half of 2022.
