The arrival of 5G-enabled smart TVs in India marks a transformative leap in home entertainment, blending ultra-fast connectivity with immersive visuals. Launched in early 2025, these TVs from brands like Samsung, LG, and Motorola leverage 5G networks to deliver seamless 4K and 8K streaming, cloud gaming, and smart home integration, redefining how Indian households consume content. Unlike traditional Wi-Fi-dependent TVs, 5G smart TVs use built-in SIM slots or

eSIMs for direct cellular connectivity, eliminating buffering even in low-Wi-Fi zones. A 2024 Nielsen report noted that 60% of Indian viewers faced streaming lag; 5G TVs

address this with download speeds up to 1Gbps. For instance, Motorola’s Revou series, priced from ₹13,999, offers 4K displays with 120Hz refresh rates and 5G

support, ideal for Netflix and cloud-based gaming.

These TVs also integrate with IoT ecosystems, allowing voice control of smart appliances via assistants like Google or Alexa in regional languages. A 55-inch LG 5G OLED, priced at ₹89,999, doubles as a smart home hub, syncing with lights and ACs. Energy efficiency is a focus, with models using 20% less power than predecessors, per a 2024 Ministry of Power study. However, high costs and limited 5G coverage in rural areas remain hurdles. Financing options from retailers like CayroShop ease adoption.

As India’s 5G network expands—projected to cover 80% of urban areas by mid- 2025—these TVs promise lag-free streaming and interactive experiences, ushering in a new era of entertainment for tech-savvy households.
