Google’s new Pixel 7 and 7 Pro smartphones, along with the Pixel 6a released early last year, still don’t have 5G support in India, even though they are officially sold there. In Google’s defense, Apple has only recently updated its 5G-capable phones to support the Indian network, as has Samsung. However, the search giant is a bit late.
In an official statement sent to us, Google assures that an OTA update enabling 5G will arrive in Q1 2023. The initial timeline for this was December, but Google clearly missed it.
In the statement, the company says it is working closely with Indian carriers to enable next-generation connectivity and comply with local regulations and standards. Xiaomi is also working on an update as it has some 5G compatible phones in India.
