Airtel 5G Available on These Smartphones: Samsung, iPhones, Realme, Xiaomi & More

On Samsung M53 (Bangalore), now everything is showing 5G ready from Airtel app - city, handset and software. But not getting option of 5G only in Mobile settings. Getting the generic 2G/3G/4G etc option. Looks like in my area 5G tower is not enabled. Might stop by Airtel shop and check with them.

As usual, the Airtel 4G speed is a pathetic 3 Mbps (with a small "b") download and upload speed is 0.55 Mbps at home. Compared to that, Jio 4G SIM in same M53 is showing 17.8 Mbps download and 0.51 Mbps upload via speedtest. 

I am having Realme9 G hand set. Even though it is shown that my area is connected with 5G, I am not getting the signals. Airtel site is showing the set is not adaptable. Kindly guide 

did anyone experience airtel or jio 5g in their respective launch cities??

For google phones, there is no update.
