(Image credit - Redmi) The Redmi A4 5G has entered the Indian market as a budget-friendly 5G smartphone powered by the Snapdragon 4s Gen 2 chipset. The phone will be available for purchase starting November 27 via Amazon, Mi.com and offline stores. However, the launch comes with a significant drawback - it does not support Airtel’s 5G network in India. The smartphone works exclusively with Jio’s 5G network. Here's a closer look at the issue. Why Redmi A4 5G Won’t Support Airtel’s 5G? Redmi A4 5G: A budget-friendly 5G phone with selective network support According to Redmi’s official product page, the Redmi A4 5G is compatible only with SA (Standalone) 5G networks and does not support NSA (Non-Standalone) networks. This limitation is the main reason it cannot connect to Airtel’s 5G, which currently relies on NSA technology. SA-only 5G compatibility limits Redmi A4's network options. SA 5G uses dedicated network bands and new radio technologies for a more advanced deployment, while NSA 5G leverages existing 4G LTE infrastructure, making it cheaper and faster to implement. While SA 5G is technically superior, both types of 5G networks can deliver comparable experiences, including speeds of up to 1Gbps. Airtel has announced plans to roll out SA 5G in India, with initial tests underway in locations like Bhubaneswar, Rewari and Chennai. Redmi A4 5G launched in India with exclusive Jio 5G support. However, nationwide availability is still a while away. This leaves Redmi A4 5G users dependent on Jio for 5G connectivity. For Airtel users, the phone's key feature—5G support—becomes irrelevant, making it a less attractive option unless they are willing to switch networks.
