“With this development, users living in any city with a 5G-enabled network can enjoy the experience. We are constantly pushing boundaries of innovation to share an experience through our devices, which makes lives easier and more convenient. All our upcoming 5G devices will be SA and NSA compatible,” Arif added.
In a press note, Oppo also noted that Jio True 5G is among the world’s most advanced next-gen wireless networks, adding that Jio True 5G has zero dependance on 4G networks and is far superior than 4G-based NSA networks.
Oppo has beaten brands like Samsung, Google and Apple in providing 5G-ready updates to its users, although the latter has released a beta iOS software for users on the beta channel to experience 5G speeds in supported cities.
Despite more brands adding 5G support, 5G cities remain limited and most Tier II and Tier III areas are yet to see any support for 5G services either Jio 5G or Airtel 5G.
