Maximise 5G Performance On Your Android Smartphone With These Simple Steps

Airtel and Jio have successfully launched their 5G networks nationwide. The new 5G technology offers significantly faster download and upload speeds compared to 4G, along with reduced latency. These enhancements are particularly beneficial for activities such as gaming and live streaming. Many smartphones automatically switch between 4G and 5G to save battery life, which can impact network performance during data-heavy tasks.

To ensure your device remains connected to 5G, provided coverage is available, here’s a straightforward method for Airtel and Jio 5G users:

Before you begin, check that there are no 5G network issues in your area. If there is a coverage problem, your phone may not have service. Additionally, confirm that you have an active data plan with 5G coverage. Both Airtel and Jio currently offer certain 4G plans that include unlimited 5G data for compatible smartphones.

While the exact steps may differ slightly between devices, the following standard procedure applies to most Android phones:

• Navigate to Settings > Connections or Network & internet > Mobile network > Network mode, and select 5G only.
• Enable Vo5G (Voice over 5G) to ensure voice and video calls utilize the 5G network.

Some devices may have a feature labeled Smart 5G or 4G/5G auto switch. Disable this option to avoid frequent network switching.

If you encounter network issues while using 5G only, you can revert to 4G/5G for more stable coverage. By tweaking these settings, you can make sure your smartphone stays connected to the 5G network whenever it is available.
