    Guessing you’re in Germany, but here in the states 5g is near nonexistent if you’re not in a city. I will keep my 4g phone long as it works. My breif experience with a 5g phone was awful and speeds were no where near 4g at my home

      Not sure where you live but 5g seems to be everywhere these days at least with T Mobile. Even my hometown that didn’t get cell service at all last year has 5g now and skipped 4g.

      Their map doesn’t give specifics about where is 5g or not. Says they have 4x more 5g coverage area and 2x faster speeds than Verizon so maybe it’s just T mobile that has the wide coverage?

        Granted I haven’t travelled as much since COViD but Verizon seems to have medium band 5g everywhere I’ve been. When I have seen it drop out, LTE is about to drop out too

      That’s definitely not true. There’s 5G everywhere now in the states I’ve traveled in. mmWave is the one only in dense cities. 5G is pretty much as low latency as my home fiber connection. It’s definitely faster than LTE.
