Why would you want to turn off 5G?

5G increases usage, which can put a strain on your battery. If you have access to 5G’s faster speeds, you’re likely to use your phone more often.

Additionally, 5G networks aren’t available everywhere, so if your phone is constantly switching between 5G and 4G networks due to poor coverage, your battery life may be suffering.

In most cases, the difference in speed between 4G and 5G may not be noticeable. So while your mileage may vary, many think the battery savings you get by sticking with 4G are worth the potential speed loss.
