These tests made use of the mid-band trial spectrum, which ranges from 3.3GHz to 3.6GHz. The Chinese smartphone maker added that the trials demonstrated that the setup was able to stream 4K videos on the device without any lag. Moreover, the company claimed to observe super-fast upload and download speeds. It added that the Reno7 Pro supports up to 10 bands while the Reno7 supports up to 13 bands that will be able to access the 5G network anywhere in the country.

Tasleem Arif, Vice President, India Research & Development Head, OPPO India, said:

Technology such as 5G is altering how the world communicates today and tests like these will further consolidate our efforts in the industry and provide the best value proposition for our customers.

As an innovative brand, we will continue to front 5G initiatives in India for the deployment of next-generation of connections for users.

Last month, Reliance Jio’s 5G speed test results were revealed. Screenshots of the results showed that its 5G network was able to achieve an impressive download speed of 420Mbps and an upload speed of 412 Mbps. However, don’t get your hopes too high, since the actual speed may differ, depending on various factors such as the 5G device you’re using, number of users, and network infrastructure.
