 New 5G phones have hit the stores with enhanced features that are a major upgrade as compared to your existing phone. Let’s find out what has changed.


Amidst the pandemic, technology has not rested one bit. With 4G networks enjoying wild popularity over the last few years, the stage is now set for the 5G boom. The world is riding on the shoulders of scientific progress, and 5G is a promising tool to improve the services of drones and self-driving cars.

In this context, you can access the latest Samsung Galaxy S21 smartphone features, or those offered by the latest 5G-enabled iPhone models on more affordable Android devices. Brands like Xiaomi, Realme and Oppo have already started offering affordable 5G-enabled smartphones, with Oppo 5G mobiles once again stealing the headlines for their excellent cameras.

As it happens with every technology, there is an air of apprehension around 5G. This apprehension is primarily because commercial and public sectors have not yet shifted to the 5G technology. However, you can be future-ready by investing in a 5G phone.

Businesses will be heavily relying on 5G technology in the future, and you should be prepared beforehand. In any case, your 5G phone will work on 4G connectivity until 5G networks are rolled out, so there would not be any connection issues before -- or due to the upgrade.

Let us now look at some of the features that you can expect from the 5G devices this year.

State of the Art Cameras

The new 5G phones have one thing in common: a spectacular camera. Make it a habit of being complimented on your pictures if you are buying an Oppo phone. For instance, Oppo’s Reno 5 Pro 5G comes with a powerful 64MP + 8MP + 2MP + 2MP rear camera set-up, so that you can click breathtaking pictures. The cameras have been tailor-made for clicking photos anytime and anywhere, irrespective of the lighting conditions. Equipped with depth sensors and wide-angle lenses, these cameras can impress even professionals.

The light HDR facility in these phones makes sure that any part of the frame does not get overexposed due to excessive light. Thus, what you get is a truly balanced picture that does not look amateurish. In addition to these features, Oppo 5G mobiles offer 2400x1080 pixel resolution on a 6.5-inch screen for quality viewing. The 128 GB ROM version of the Reno 5 Pro is available at the Bajaj Finserv EMI Store at a discount!

Enhanced Storage

As compared to their 4G counterparts, the 5G phones have better storage. There might be 4G phones in the market that have better storage than Oppo K7x 5G (upcoming phone), but few have it complemented with an 8 GB RAM. Storage space means nothing without control, as you will frequently need to remove existing data to make way for new files.

Holding on to all the important data might cause your phone to become excruciatingly slow. On the other hand, the new Oppo 5G mobiles come with enhanced RAM that makes them perfect devices even for heavy-duty gaming. Lags during games due to multiple heavy apps working in the background are now things of the past.

Much Improved Battery Life

This feature does not come as a surprise. If you are choosing a 5G device, you must have good reasons for your decision. You will be running apps and games that require more storage and are demanding on the phone’s battery. To counter this, Oppo K7x 5G or Oppo A72 (upcoming phone) house 5,000 mAh batteries that will last you for hours on a single charge.

Since these batteries are custom-made to deal with heavy apps, phone heating will be a thing of the past. You can now enjoy high-quality videos on your phone non-stop without getting anxious. Lastly, let’s not forget that these are smartphones, and are designed to suit your needs. These phones can sense ambient light and adjust their brightness accordingly, so that the battery is used judiciously.

Powerful Processors to Complement Other Features

Most upcoming or launched Android 5G smartphones run on either Qualcomm Snapdragon chips, or the MediaTek processors. The latter, especially, complements features like a superior camera with AI support, which makes clicking photos an obsession. The live photo feature helps you sift through a short video and splice them into moments, making each moment a memorable picture. 

The MediaTek P35 chip (used in Oppo A8) runs on ARM architecture that lets the manufacturer have better control over market needs and customer satisfaction. This processor is expressly used in smartphones designed to have long battery life.

These features make 5G-smartphones, and especially Oppo 5G mobiles a much sought-after commodity in the smartphone market. At the Bajaj Finserv EMI Store, you can buy a 5G smartphone on easy EMIs. You can also avail of the no-cost EMI feature at the EMI Store, and pay for your new smartphone in convenient monthly instalments.
