And, do we need 5G? I’m doing more than fine on my 4G. To the point I’d actually forgotten about 5G. Last I checked it was a bit more marketing than innovation as it’s increased speeds were not reliable.
Yes, depending by on where you are and who your provider is, medium band 5g is everywhere and is a noticeable improvement over 4g. Providers will be moving their bandwidth more to 5g over time, so it will become more important.
mmWave 5g seems to be only in cities, is a slow rollout, and your provider may charge more to use it. Most of us wont
My speeds are regularly noticeably faster on 5g, but that’s me. I also don’t live IN the city. I’m fairly near one, but not in it
5G is totally not needed for a phone, but at least on my network (t-mobile) the bandwidth allotted to 4G now is reduced, so when I am using 4G, it’s a lot slower than it used to be. Same thing happened to 3G. Once 4G was the norm it really throttles down 3G.
