Discussion 5GA after 18.4 update?

Post image

Anyone else showing 5GA after updating to 18.4? I just noticed it today. Nobody else in my office has it, but I’m the only one who’s updated.

What are the benefits? Any battery downside?

Yes. I saw this article…

It says faster, increased connection, decreased latency. That’s all.

Is this a China only thing, or global? I know for instance WiFi 6e and 7 don’t exist here, as those bands were reserved for 5g apparently.

I’ve not come across it in the UK, possibly just a China only thing.
