Low-band 5G operates on some of the same frequencies as 4G, delivering slightly faster speeds—think 50–60 Mbps —over long distances. It will work best in rural areas where people are more spread out and you can provide service with a handful of cellular towers.

Here is an overview of these frequency bands:
Read moreWhat 5G band is the fastest?
The fastest 5G speeds would be in the mmWave bands and can reach 4 Gbit/s with carrier aggregation and MIMO. Sub-6 GHz 5G (mid-band 5G), by far the most common, will usually deliver between 100 and 4,400 MBit/s but will have a much further reach than mmWave, especially outdoors.

5G sub-6 GHz aggregation As mentioned above, the Snapdragon 865 not only supports mmWave, it’s also proven to deliver unsurpassed speeds and coverage at the sub-6 GHz bands. Its 200 MHz aggregation allows for more than double the sub-6 peak speeds of other flagship solutions, reaching up to 5 Gbps in downloads.
