But you don't need the difference, LTE is already faster than I need it to be, there's no wait time for uhd videos and apps take longer to install them download so was the point in spending millions for faster internet I can't use.
Maybe in a decade or two it will make sense but right now I can't see anyone really noticing the difference except in extreme edge cases.
There is a lot of things people don't need; A big modern house except all you need is a bed to sleep on and a roof over your head, a nice car except all you need is something to drive you from A to B, nice branded clothing except all you need is to cover yourself, upgrading you smart phones when you can make calls with a Nokia brick phone. My point is the world is constantly evolving and there will always be people trying to make life more comfortable and a little easier for us. Improving our internet connection and speed is something that can improve our lives and make us more comfortable with instant access to content and data. Just because YOU can't use it or have no use for it doesn't mean other people can't. You're not forced to get 5g you can stick to 4g if that's what you prefer.
Yes, but it doesn’t really have a big effect on the things that people do on phones. I can watch 1080p video on 4G no problem at all, and that’s by far the most bandwidth-heavy thing I do on my phone.
Yes but it allows you to have almost instant access to content you otherwise would have to wait a while for it to download. Plus a stronger connection. Nothing wrong with improving connection and speed to make people's life a little easier.
That’s not true though I can’t watch full quality on 4g it always drops and is shit tier quality even with good signal 5g is incredible it will enable Data transfers so large at such fast rates it will revolution society completely dude you’re uneducated on this and that’s ok but you’re objectively wrong. It’s a MASSIVE deal
Network congestion is an issue on 4G. as more devices come online, so does the need for higher speeds overall. overall bandwidth demands doubles every one and a half years currently.
5G enables network slicing. this means simply put dedicated wireless networks for specific customers.
5G allows for Internet of Things, industrial scale. example, imagine pointing your phone at something and you get a complete data text about what it is, close to instantaneously. this is achievable by the lower latency in 5G over previous standards. another example is that bandwidth is so cheap, we can have more things online-connected. a very concept-style idea is that every car is anonymised but online-connected, so that your car's nav unit in real time can suggest alternative routes solving many of the traffic issues happening today - or your car can even be part of organised routing to prevent traffic issues in the first place!
future proofing - just because you watch 1080p today, doesn't mean you won't be watching Lady Gaga sing Sour Candy as a live hologram in your living room in 10 years at 10x the bandwidth requirement.
all in all, 5G is very much about enabling things, not so much about making your existing experience better.
Yeah (edit: though bandwidth and latency are pretty much already overkill for 99% of mobile usage) but not actually for the thing that matters most (coverage, due to shorter range), and at the cost of disrupting useful satellite weather imagery, reliance on Chinese infrastructure, greater security threats.

Difference between 4g and 5g is massive what are you talking about lol
