What is the actual benefit of 5g besides draining phone battery faster than LTE?
Midband 5G seriously outperforms LTE in my experience. And as radios have matured battery drain has gotten significantly better (which is exactly what happened with LTE radios when we all left HSPA+ behind).
When I had an older 5G phone without midband signal and an early radio, I just left the 5G off. But now I get annoyed if I only have LTE.
Believe or not, still won’t be getting the mythical 1gbps
What is the actual benefit of 5g besides draining phone battery faster than LTE?
5G has some security improvements, making it harder to track and spoof people’s phones. It also supposedly offers lower latencies.
Is this improvement enough to justify massive expense taxpayers incurred to fund telcos CapEx?
It also reuses old 2G/3G bands to allow much much higher throughput and therefore more customers per band

I get ~800Mbps download speed on 5g at home. Maybe your area just didn’t invest in 5g all that much?
