4G vs LTE battery life

When connected to a Wi-Fi network, the device will consume significantly less battery power. It’s especially true with 4G, since the technology consumes a large amount of power .

In general, wifi usage consumes more battery . Depending upon the type of mobile and type of network , the battery consumption may be twice as much in case of wifi than in mobile data networks ( regarding same time period for both).

An internet connection using a W-Fi network is approximately 50-60% more energy efficient than using 3G and 4G connections (Zou et al., 2017) . Due to its greater transmission speed, 5G networks could consume far more electricity than 4G if energy efficiency is not improved (Bronk, 2019). …
