After the entry of Xiaomi the competition for Samsung has increased a lot but the performance has always been an issue with Samsung as the UI is not that smooth as compared to other phones of Xiaomi.

The Nord series has always been in the news due to its low price and more features and one plus has always been providing a Lag free experience in all the mobile phones so this will also be a good hit in the market. Do Wishlist this when you are planning to buy 5G phone.

6. Nokia X100

As this is a rumored phone its specifications are too appealing at this price. This would be the first 5G smartphone from Nokia.

Nokia has a great fan following in the Indian market since it is rough and tough and cheaper than other phones. Also this model has a huge battery capacity of 7200 mAh which is very impressive.

As of now it will only be available in Black colour. The storage available would be 512 GB which is more than enough to store movies, songs and games.

Also it comes with 8GB of RAM which gives a spectacular experience in gaming and working with multiple apps.

7.  Realme 8 5G

This phone is powered with an octa-core processor which provides seamless experience when working with multiple applications and lag free gaming. Also it provides 128gb of storage so you can store as many files as you want without any constraints.

It supports 5G though it has not been tested as that is not rolled out in India yet. Another variant with 8GB RAM and 128gb storage is also available which is priced at 16,499/- INR. It has a 20:9 aspect ratio and 90 Hz refresh rate.

The display type is FHD+.  Due to low RAM capacity this would not be an ideal choice for the end user as it won’t provide much smoother experience when working with multiple applications. Though storage is more than enough it is a good mobile for storing more videos for the person who is mostly using their phone for watching movies.

8. Samsung Galaxy a22 5G

This phone comes with USB Type C fast charge 15 W. It has an aspect ratio of 20:9 and a screen refresh rate of 90 Hz which gives a nice screen clarity and makes Video making and watching movies an awesome experience.

It has a bezel less display with top center Notch. I personally feel uncomfortable with bezel less displays as the toughen glass doesn’t remain intact to the screen properly. Also, it has 1TB of expandable storage which is way too much if you like to store more data on your phone. 

In this model Samsung has provided 6 GB of RAM as other Samsung phones are lagging due to its heavy UI, but the price range according to the configuration is too high. No doubt the build quality of Samsung phones is way too good when compared to Xiaomi or other range of devices.

Samsung has already been in the market since long and is a good choice for many of the customers.

9. Oppo A73 5G

The battery capacity is not that good due to low mAh as compared to other mobiles. It has a 3.5 mm audio jack. It supports the Bluetooth 5.0 version. It has inbuilt FM radio.

The fingerprint sensor is on the side and not on the back nor on the front screen. As it has more storage and Ram you will experience Lag free gaming and you can store more videos and photos. The camera is on the top notch left side.

You can expand the memory by SD card support. It comes with Android 10 version and also it has USB type C charging.

10. Oneplus Nord a200

It comes with a massive 5000 mAh battery and comes with fast charger USB type C which can charge your phone in under 30 minutes.

This variant comes with only 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage whereas other variants are also available with more RAM and storage. It comes with 90  Hz of screen refresh rate. It is the most affordable 5G phone provided by oneplus.

The camera quality is not that good. The images at night or not good as compared to other oneplus phones. So far the experience of using oneplus is Lag free and doesn’t heat when working with multiple apps.

Impact on the society

The impact on the society for 5G phones is not known. Experts are still debating the potential benefits and risks. One of the potential benefits of 5G wireless networks is that it could be used to provide internet access to remote areas without an efficient wired connection.

This can be valuable in developing countries where many people have limited access to information. Potential risks include possible health concerns, such as increased cancer risk or interference with medical devices. 

As technology progresses, it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain personal privacy. With the release of 5G cell phones, the amount of information accessible to companies is vast.

Though these new advancements are exciting, these features can also be seen as a potential disadvantage.

Conclusion & My thoughts 

5G phones are the future of phone technology. They will be faster, more energy efficient, and provide more coverage than current 4G networks.

Future phones will be close to being able to provide a complete virtual reality experience, as the advancements in 5G technology allow for more realistic graphics and better connection.
