The Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro series doesn’t support 5G, despite expectations of the same from many. Xiaomi’s India Head explained why.
Analysts and experts have often said 2021 will be the year when 5G phones proliferate in the mid-range. However, many were disappointed when Xiaomi didn’t provide support for 5G connectivity on the new Redmi Note 10 Pro series smartphones, launched this past week. At least we have an explanation now though. The company decided against 5G because of India’s telecom conditions right now, and the fact that the country is unlikely to see 5G rollouts before early to mid-2021. In fact, large scale rollouts of 5G may take over two years, according to many experts. Replying to a Facebook post yesterday, Xiaomi India Head, Manu Jain, said the company decided against 5G to save costs.
