Why is my 5G phone showing 4G?

What is the process for disabling 5G on my Samsung Galaxy S20?

If you don’t see 5G in the status bar Make sure that you’re in an area with 5G coverage . Contact your service provider if you aren’t sure. Go to Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data Options. If you see this screen, your device has 5G activated.

If the user’s phone has moved out of the 5G coverage and enters the 4G coverage, or vice versa, the network icon will change on the phone’s status bar. Solution: This issue is caused by differences in network coverage .
