Shifting gears, both the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro support 5G out of the box. This was already along the expected lines, so there’s no element of surprise with this announcement. However, some Pixel 7/Pro users have voiced their concern that they are unable to enable 5G on their devices. If you are also currently getting bugged with this issue, then this guide will make you aware of a couple of nifty workarounds to rectify this problem. Follow along.
Enable 5G in Google Pixel 7/Pro in Supported Regions
Before starting with the process, make sure Google has enabled 5G in your region. For example, in India, Google is yet to enable 5G for Pixel 7 and 7 Pro. So even if your carrier supports 5G, you might not be able to enable it until the Silicon Valley giant enables it from their end [which will happen via an OTA update]. With that said, if 5G is enabled in your region, then you could refer to any of the two below-listed methods to enable it on your device right away.
Enable 5G on Pixel 7/Pro via Settings Menu
Enable 5G on Pixel 7/Pro Using Dialer Code
Enable 5G in Google Pixel 7/Pro in Unsupported Regions
Even if you live in a region where 5G is not officially supported, you could still enable 5G on your Pixel 7/Pro. Let’s check out how this could be carried out. Droidwin and its members wouldn’t be held responsible in case of a thermonuclear war, your alarm doesn’t wake you up, or if anything happens to your device and data by performing the below steps.
What is the Difference between NR Only and NR/LTE
If you have opted for the dialer code method to enable 5G, then you might have noticed “NR only” and “NR/ LTE”, out of which, we recommended the latter one. Why is that so? If you select NR only, then your device will be forced to use only the 5G network. So in places where there are weaker 5G signals, you might not be able to make calls or send messages.
Therefore, it is recommended to opt for NR/LTE. This way if your device isn’t in a region that has stronger 5G [NR] coverage, then it will be able to automatically switch over to 4G [LTE]. For the same reason, if you get an option to choose between 5G or 5G/4G/3G, make sure to opt for the latter one [5G/4G/3G]. That’s it. These were the various methods to enable 5G on your Pixel 7/Pro in both supported and unsupported regions. If you have any queries concerning the aforementioned steps, do let us know in the comments. We will get back to you with a solution at the earliest.
