Another update: jio 5g started working on my qpr2 beta device since yesterday just like that. No sms, nothing. It just latched on with ~700 mbps speed.

Later, I saw the welcome offer on my jio. After adding the welcome offer, it added another plan to my postpaid account. it shows unlimited 5g till next month. Since it is a postpaid, I suppose this will get updated every month on the billing date

Is Pixel 6A has good now? or still any issues??

@Ashok Varma It is a great phone. Right now, I am downloading Android 14 (1GB in size). It has great cameras (for the price), decent one day battery life (considering the size) and super compact and light weight.

If you love small phones, you will love it. In my case, I use 2 phones (this and Moto G54), Pixel for calls, camera and occasional content consumption like YT (Great stereo speakers and AMOLED display helps). I use G54 for occasional calls and most Content consumption.

Beware, its 5G coverage is the WORST in the world.

Pixel 6a with custom ROM Rising OS has been really good. I'm finding less 5G issues now than earlier and this ROM comes with lots of customisation with original Pixel ROM is missing.

Display, camera and speakers are really good

I used to love Custom ROM during GalaxyNexus days (about dozen years back), today is totally different. Earlier I had lot of reasons to root the phone, most of which are solved today. Restrictions from UPI, mAdhaar, Banking and other apps also won't help.

But this link will be helpful for many friends here. Even though 5G coverage of Pixel 6a is WORST, its 4G coverage is good enough. So for VoId or BSNL user, this is a great phone.
