The new G100 will also support 5G.
Although we are nearing the fourth quarter of 2021, India is still expecting an influx of smartphones to release in the country.
Smartphone technology continues to move at a rapid rate.
A touchscreen phone was once considered revolutionary but the inclusion of Artificial Intelligence and high-definition cameras has become the norm today.
The year 2021 has seen a number of smartphone releases but the final few months of the year continues to expect more exciting releases.
