Pakistan is finally set to launch 5G services this week after years of anticipation. The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has completed licensing to telecom operators, and services are expected to go live in major cities, including Islamabad, Karachi, and Lahore. This is a major shift for mobile users in Pakistan who have waited for faster internet on their phones.
With 5G rolling out, the big question for shoppers and tech lovers is simple: which mobile phones can use 5G right now? Many phones from leading brands already support 5G technology and are sold in Pakistan. Not for others, but Jazz has unveiled a guide to popular 5G‑ready models in the market, some of which are already available, while others are about to launch soon.
| Brand | Phone 1 | Phone 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Vivo | Vivo V60 5G | Vivo V70 5G |
| Oppo | Oppo Reno 14 5G | Oppo Find X2 Pro |
| Realme | Realme 14 | Realme 15 |
| Xiaomi | Xiaomi 14 | Xiaomi 15 |
| Tecno | Tecno Camon 50 Premier 5G | – |
| Infinix | Infinix Zero 5G | Infinix Note 30 Vip |
| ZTE | ZTE Nubia Neo 2 | ZTE Nubia Focus 5G |
Note: This list includes both officially PTA‑approved devices and popular 5G phones that work in Pakistan when registered properly. You will find many models in different price ranges, from premium flagships to mid‑range and value devices.
Check 5G Support Before Buying
Even if a phone spec sheet says 5G support, you should confirm PTA approval before purchase. Approved phones can use local network bands and avoid any registration issues. Non-approved phones may still work but could face restrictions or require additional steps.
With 5G going live this week, users with capable phones can experience up to ten times faster speeds than 4G. This will improve video streaming, online gaming, cloud apps, and business connectivity in cities where the service rolls out first. Network operators are expected to expand coverage in the coming months as infrastructure grows.
