  • 5G is actually two completely different radio technologies under one brand name. One of them is just the same thing as 4G but like a little faster, which is probably what it means if you see a “5G” by your phone’s connection strength meter. The other is what people worrying about 5G actually mean, millimeter wave. It’s capable of much faster speeds in an ideal case, but that ideal case involves direct clear line of sight from the device to the tower, with no buildings or trees or hands holding the phone in the way.
