Google Confirms 5G Support for Pixel 7 Series and Pixel 6A in India Delayed: All Details

Last Updated: December 29, 2022, 15:49 ISTPixel 6a and the new phones will have to wait till 2023 for the 5G updateGoogle was expected to release the 5G update in December but now

the company has delayed the rollout till early next year.Google Pixel users in India will have to wait a little longer to experience 5G on their devices. The company officially

confirmed the delay to us on Thursday, which means that Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro and Pixel 6a will only be getting their 5G update early next year. “We have been actively working

with Indian carriers on the various requirements that go into provisioning 5G and look forward to rolling this out for Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro and Pixel 6a in Q1 2023,” Google said

in its official statement. As you can see, the statement does not offer concrete data on when 5G services will be enabled on compatible Pixel phones in India, but the delay means

the Pixel phones are the only 5G-enabled phones that cannot run 5G in the country. Apple, Samsung and Google were some of the few global brands that had yet to enable 5G on their

Indian models till last month. Since then, both Apple and Samsung have issued their respective updates which allow users to experience 5G data speeds on their devices. The likes of

Xiaomi, OnePlus and Realme have also upgraded their devices to run 5G in India. That leaves Google as the only brand that won't please the people who bought the Pixel phones this

year. Google has launched a slew of Pixel phones in India in 2022, which includes the Pixel 6a mid-range version. We also got the first Pixel flagships in the country in three

years with the new Pixel 7 and the Pixel 7 Pro smartphones. The new Pixel 7 series has been launched in India for a starting price of Rs 59,999 and you get them in single 128GB

storage variants. While not supporting 5G is unlikely to be a deal breaker, especially when the service is available in select parts of the country. Having said that, people

spending upwards of Rs 40,000 on smartphones do expect to get the latest features at the earliest.Read all the Latest Tech News here S AadeetyaS Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at
