How to disable 5G on Android

5G phones can’t handle that yet, PCMag analyst Sascha Segan wrote: But 5G phones can’t add as many 4G channels to a 5G channel . So if they’re in 5G mode, they’re giving up 4G channels so they can use that extremely narrow, often 5MHz 5G channel, and the result is slower performance: faux G.

5G Ultra Wideband is the next stage in building a better network. 5G runs on a much higher frequency than 4G , which provides users with a much larger bandwidth. That means in a world where everyone is using data with unlimited plans, Verizon can support their users without any of them losing service.

The reason for this is because Verizon uses a shortcut to achieving 5G coverage , known as dynamic spectrum sharing, or DSS. [DSS 5G] reuses parts of 4G channels for 5G. … Our most recent tests, using an iPhone 12 Pro in New York City, show that DSS 5G is frequently slower than 4G, and rarely faster.23 Ara 2020
