How to check whether your phone supports 5G services? Here’s a Details

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan is preparing to launch 5G services from Eid ul Fitr 2026. Many users want to know if their phones support 5G.

To use 5G, your phone must support the required hardware and network bands. Below are simple ways to check your device.

Check Phone Settings

Go to your phone Settings. Then open Mobile Network or Connections.

Look for options like:

• 5G / 4G / 3G

• 5G Auto

• 5G Only

If you see these options, your phone likely supports 5G.
If your phone only shows 4G/LTE, it does not support 5G.

Check Phone Model Online

Go to Settings > About Phone and find your model number.

Search this model on the official brand website or platforms like GSMArena.
Check the network section to confirm 5G support.

Check Using IMEI Number

Dial *#06# on your phone to get your IMEI number.

Use an IMEI checking website to see if your phone supports local 5G bands in Pakistan.
Some phones support 5G but may not work with local networks.

Look for 5G Signal Icon

When 5G is available, a 5G icon will appear on your phone screen.

If you do not see the icon, it may be due to:

• No 5G coverage in your area

• Network limitations

Update Your Phone Software

Sometimes 5G works after a software update.

Go to Settings > Software Update and install the latest version. This may enable 5G features.
