4G? WTF..

After GSM and UMTS shutdown, LTE is the foundation for IoT and entry level mobile connectivity. 5G RedCap coverage is not widespread enough and the chipset is not cheap enough.

Do you live in a 5G-only region? If not, what's the problem?

There isn't many (if any) countries with only 5G, although most countries have shutdown both 2G and 3G networks, with the 4G shutdown likely within the next decade.

Not supporting 5G limits this devices longevity, although at the price point and Indian market focus, I think its acceptable.

		In Europe there are still plenty of places without 5G coverage, which anyone travelling by train will quickly notice.
