How to enable 5G on OnePlus 7 Pro

Also, the company notes that it is not possible to add additional 5G bands via future OTA software updates . Hence, if the carriers in India don’t adopt either of these bands, then OnePlus 9 series users won’t be able to use 5G in the country even though the handsets are marketed as 5G ready.

To check if your Android phone supports the 5g network, you need to open the ‘Settings’ app on your phone and further tap the option ‘Wi-Fi & Network’. Now, tap on the option ‘SIM & Network’ and there you will be able to see a list of all technologies under the ‘Preferred network type’ option.

The band your phone uses to connect to a 5G NR tower can dramatically affect the bandwidth, speed, and coverage. As with LTE, your phone and tower communicate to decide the best band to use.
