South Korean telecom giant — Samsung Electronics has reportedly claimed that the company is interested in collaborating with telecom operators in India over 5G services.

For the record, in April, Samsung launched Galaxy S10 5G- the world’s first 5G phone and has repeatedly promoted the use of 5G services in several businesses, inclusive of self-driving vehicles, Internet of Things and smart factories.
