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 .

The difference in 5G download speed between each country is mainly because of the different amount of spectrum used to deploy the 5G service . Where operators have used near 100Mhz of spectrum they’ve typically offered users speeds faster than those operators limited to 40Mhz or 50Mhz 5G channel sizes.6 May 2020
Read moreIs 5G noticeably faster than 4G UK?
5G is rolling out across the UK on every major network, and brings with it far higher speeds than 4G with a theoretical maximum speed of between 10 and 50Gbps, according to the regulatory body Ofcom.
Read moreIs 5G currently faster than 4G?
But 5G is getting a strong foothold in many American cities, and speeds range from slightly faster than 4G LTE to exponentially faster by a wide margin. You can get faster speeds on 5G because 5G networks use higher-frequency radio bands to deliver signals.
Read moreWhy is my 5G signal worse than 4G?
The 5G standard uses millimeter waves, which are a lot shorter than the wavelengths 4G uses . The shorter wavelength means 5G can carry a lot of data much faster than 4G, but it also means a much shorter range.
Read moreWhy is LTE faster than 5G?
These higher speeds are generally achieved because 5G users a different spectrum to that 4G uses, namely mmWave high-frequency bands, which support far more bandwidth than those LTE uses . Therefore, more data can be transferred at once.
Read moreWhy is my 5G slower than my 4G?
Technically. So, why are some 5G connections so slow? The first, and most impactful, reason is that the far-reaching 5G signals that have powered the vast majority of carrier rollouts in the US – especially from AT&T and, to a lesser extent, T-Mobile – have used low-band carrier frequencies.7 Şub 2022
