He added that while it is not impossible for brands to launch 5G smartphones under Rs 10,000, doing so in an uncompromising manner will be difficult this year, due to higher component costs.

\"The reality is that there is a difference definitely from a chipset perspective, between 4G and a 5G chipsets. And unfortunately, that is a significant part of the bill of materials of a smartphone. And that translates into incremental pricing,\" Muralikrishnan said.

\"It is our belief that the 10 to 15,000 price point would be the magical sweet spot to truly Accelerate 5g adoption in a significant manner,\" he added.

Muralikrishnan was delivering his keynote address at the
ETTelecom 5G Congress 2023<\/a>.
