Guessing you're in Germany, but here in the states 5g is near nonexistent if you're not in a city. I will keep my 4g phone long as it works. My breif experience with a 5g phone was awful and speeds were no where near 4g at my home
Granted I haven’t travelled as much since COViD but Verizon seems to have medium band 5g everywhere I’ve been. When I have seen it drop out, LTE is about to drop out too
Well, just my experience. I am kind of in the sticks.
That’s definitely not true. There’s 5G everywhere now in the states I’ve traveled in. mmWave is the one only in dense cities. 5G is pretty much as low latency as my home fiber connection. It’s definitely faster than LTE.
