While Jio has rolled out its 5G service as a trial in four cities including Kolkata, Delhi, Mumbai and Varanasi, Airtel is available in eight cities including Delhi, Varanasi, Nagpur, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Chennai and Siliguri. Presently, only 5G-enabled smartphones can only support the high-speed 5G services from Jio and Airtel.
