Wondering if it’s worth buying a 5G phone in 2025? Here’s why 5G still makes sense—and why jumping to 6G isn’t urgent.
Why 5G Still Rules Today
- 📡 Full Coverage Now: Most metro and tier‑1 cities in India have strong 5G networks—speed and reliability is solid.
- ⚡ Great Phone Choices: 2025 offers affordable 5G phones under ₹20K with fast chips, AMOLED screens, long battery life, and often 3‑year updates.
- 💸 No Price Crash: Unlike earlier years, 5G devices aren’t tanking in price—they hold value, so you’re not losing out.
What 6G is, and Why You Can Wait
- 📶 Not Here Yet: 6G standardization is expected around 2028‑29; commercial rollout will follow in 2030+.
- 💡 Limited Benefits Now: 6G speeds test at ~1Tbps in labs, but consumer use-cases (AR/VR, smart cities) aren’t mainstream yet.
- 💰 Premium Tax: Early 6G devices will be expensive and early adopters will pay for tech still in infancy.
Should You Buy Now?
- If your phone is older than 2 years or you travel often—you’ll see real value in 2025 with a 5G upgrade.
- Don’t wait for 6G—you’ll lose productivity, miss out on games, gaming content, better cameras, and faster updates now.
- Plan to upgrade again in 2028–29 when 6G is standardized and affordable.
