5G
5G is the current mobile network standard. It transfers data faster than its predecessor LTE and can handle more devices at the same time in a cell.
What does 5G mean?
In everyday use, you notice 5G mainly where many people are online at the same time, and when downloading large files. For messengers, music, and videos, LTE is usually enough as well.
To use 5G, you need a device that supports the standard, a suitable plan, and network coverage where you are. Some manufacturers offer the same model with and without 5G. When buying, it is therefore worth taking a close look at the model name.
A general explanation of the term, not from a video. How it plays out on a specific device in everyday use is covered in the reviews below.
