Breaking: Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra will support Jio True 5G in India
Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra customers living in India can finally take a breath of relief as their phones will soon start supporting Jio True 5G to deliver faster internet performance.
The Korean company launched the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra smartphone with 5G compatibility in 2020. But the most famous network provider in India, Jio does not provide 5G support to the users.
Earlier the Jio service provider confirmed that the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G is not documented to feature True 5G support in the country. The company said it was not able to release 5G-supported firmware updates due to application processor limitations.
However, this situation will not last long. Samsung will soon start rolling out a new software update for the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra smartphones in India to make the device Jio True 5G ready.
Although when the update is coming exactly is unknown at the moment. We expect that the support will go live through the One UI 5.1 update, which is yet to be delivered for Note 20 devices in India.
It’s worth mentioning that this was not the problem of Samsung’s manufacturing processes, the company has made it to support 5G and it does offer 5G connectivity in many other countries. Even in India, other major network providers, such as Airtel offer 5G network and speed.
Fortunately, Jio has also decided to provide a 5G connection to the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra users in India. Since most people in the country use Jio SIM cards, it will be beneficial, many more customers can now take advantage of the fast internet services.
Galaxy S20 Ultra will support Jio True 5G?
Earlier Jio told that Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G will also not get Jio True 5G network in India. But since things are changed for the Note 20 Ultra, it seems like the more famous Galaxy Note 20 Ultra will also get the 5G connectivity support for Jio.

GSMArena evaluated the Exynos 2400e performance used in Galaxy S24 FE. The chip has a slightly lower core frequency than the Exynos 2400. However, this modification made no major change in terms of performance.
Galaxy S24 FE with Exynos 2400e scored 2146 and 6711 points in single-core and multi-core tests, respectively. It’s slightly less than the 2201 single-core and 6926 multi-core points in the Galaxy S24’s Exynos 2400 chipset.
Apple’s A18 chip lags behind the Exynos 2400e used in the Galaxy S24 FE in ray tracing performance. The iPhone 16 scored 6,691 points in 3DMark’s Solar Bay test, whereas the Exynos Exynos 2400 scored 8,743 points.
Meanwhile, the phone scored 3,870 points in 3DMark’s Wild Life Extreme GPU test at 4K resolution compared to 4,029 points of the iPhone 16 Plus. The Galaxy S24+’s Exynos 2400 chip scored 4,365 points on the same benchmark.
iPhone 16 Plus is a flagship phone, while the S24 FE belongs to Samsung’s Fan Edition. The mainstream flagship line is S24, which is far ahead in GPU performance. Apple’s CPU edge will also be crushed with the Galaxy S25 series.
