4G mobiles make a comeback on costlier 5G smartphones

India is experiencing a noticeable slowdown in the shift to 5G smartphones due to rising costs. As a result, the demand for 4G devices is increasing, especially in the Rs 10,000-20,000 segment. More smartphone brands are now offering 4G models as consumers seek better specifications without the 5G price tag. Analysts indicate that this shift to 4G may persist as component costs remain high.
