Do phones sold in Japan work well on Indian networks?

A fellow member bought a Sony Xperia 1 V and hasn't been able to get 5G working on Airtel.
I also guess they will be using different radio bands?

I do see some members here using Japanese iPhones successfully. But I'm curious about Android phones.
 
You can use this website to check band compatibility for smartphones: https://www.kimovil.com/en/frequency-checker/IN

As per the website, the 1 V does have almost all bands for Airtel 5G, so it might be a carrier/phone settings thing? Try going to an Airtel store and see if they can help.
