FAQs:
Why does my Phone say LTE instead of 5G?
Your phone displays LTE instead of 5G because your network doesn’t support 5G or your carrier doesn’t have a 5G network in your area. Also, check your phone settings to connect to the 5G network.
Does 5G use more Battery?
Yes, 5G networks use more battery than 4G or LTE. 5G networks use higher frequency and high download speed that use more data usage that reduces your phone’s battery life.
How do I Turn on 5G?
First, make sure your phone supports a 5G network, and your carrier may have 5G coverage in your place. To turn on 5G on your Android, go to Settings > Network & internet> SIMs > Preferred network type > Choose 5G. If you have a Samsung phone, Settings > Connections > Mobile networks > Network mode > 5G/LTE/3G/2G.
