Google began testing 5G support for Pixel phones in India this January with the QPR beta 2 update. With the success of the beta test, the company is now rolling out the March Pixel feature release, which brings various fixes in addition to the 5G support in the subcontinent.
This update allows Pixel 7 and 7 Pro and Pixel 6a to connect to 5G networks from Jio and Airtel. Once installed, 5G should be automatically enabled (you should see “5G” in the status bar once your phone connects to the network).
5G is now officially supported on Pixel 7, 7 Pro and 6a in India
If you’re curious about other improvements that entered the March feature drop, check out the post from Google. This includes faster Night Sight on Pixel 7 duo, Health Connect, fall detection for Pixel Watch, plus some features enabled on older models.
One of the more interesting changes lets you have two eSIMs enabled simultaneously on the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro. It only works on select carriers, though, and we haven’t confirmed Jio and Airtel are among them.
