It's all about finding balance
With 5G networks still in the process of rolling out, you might want to turn off your phone’s fastest cellular speed sometimes. This will ensure a stable connection, and a long-lasting battery life. After all, a good 4G LTE connection is still more than fast enough for most tasks, includingBefore you can turn off 5G, you need to be able to get it. Other than being on a spot with 5G coverage, you’ll also require a device and a data plan that support the network.
New gadgets and new data plans appear on a weekly basis, but at the time of writing the only Apple devices that support 5G are the iPhone’s latest models: The iPhone 12 Mini, the iPhone 12, the iPhone 12 Pro, and the iPhone 12 Pro Max. If you’re using the iPhone SE or the iPhone 11, then you won’t find the same 5G options on your device.
When it comes to 5G, there are more options on the Android side of things.

Handsets such as the Samsung Galaxy S21, the OnePlus 9, and theAll US carriers now offer some form of 5G plan, though the details between them vary—and keep varying regularly. Take SIM cards for example.
We’re starting to see a few mid band plans pop up as well, primarily from T-Mobile, though other companies are likely to follow suit. This is a sort of sweet spot between low band and high band, offering a significant speed boost over 4G LTE without the range and availability restrictions that mmWave is having at the moment.
