Bharti Airtel’s 5G support is reaching more and more devices pretty fast. It is just what the CEO of Airtel, Gopal Vittal, had said during the recent investors call. Vittal had said that most of the 5G smartphones in India would get the 5G support of Airtel’s networks by mid-November. All of the iPhones are left to get it. iPhone users will have to wait till December 2022 for that. For now, in the last month, over 16 Samsung devices have received support for Airtel’s 5G. Currently, there are only two Samsung devices in India which are yet to start receiving the update from Samsung to support 5G. Let’s take a look at the names of these devices.
