OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite To Samsung Galaxy M33: Here Are The Top 5G Smartphones To Buy Under Rs 20,000

We bring you a list of capable 5G smartphones that you can buy for under Rs 20,000.

With 5G services officially launched in India the fact that cannot be ignored is that 5G is currently available for a handful of consumers in select regions in the country. Bharti Airtel, one of the leading telecom operators in India launched 5G services in 8 cities on October 1, the same day when 5G was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Reliance Jio, the other top telco has also started beta trials in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Varanasi.

This also means that this might be the right time to invest in a 5G smartphone. While handset majors Samsung, Apple and OnePlus have launched top-tier 5G phones, several flagship models need to be updated via OTA update to actually start supporting 5G airwaves. Also, investing in a flagship smartphone just to experience 5G may not be everybody's cup of tea. This is why we have compiled a list of capable 5G smartphones that you can buy for under Rs 20,000.
