Sri Lanka-based Dialog Axiata has extended its 5G roaming footprint to 40 countries through partnerships with over 150 operators worldwide. The company’s 5G roaming service offers speeds up to 1Gbps, improving connectivity for subscribers travelling abroad.
To boost local 5G adoption, Dialog collaborated with Chinese vendor ZTE to launch what it describes as Sri Lanka’s most affordable 5G smartphone. Priced at LKR 35,999 (approximately US$120), the device features 6GB RAM, 128GB storage, a 5,000mAh battery, and a 6.75-inch HD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It also includes a dual rear camera setup with a 50MP primary sensor and 2MP depth sensor, plus an 8MP front-facing camera.
Lim Li San, Group COO of Dialog Axiata, said the expansion and new smartphone reaffirm the company’s commitment to delivering seamless, high-speed mobile experiences both locally and internationally.
