      5G causes crazy battery drain and I don’t at all notice a noticeable difference in speed with it with typical cell phone usage. Not sure what I would need to do to actually notice the speed difference. Torrent a file? I have 5G disabled on my phone. Every now and then, I get a text from my cell carrier saying that my phone is 5G capable and I should enable it for better speeds.

        This isn’t 2019 anymore dude. 5G is not the big bad wolf and I’ve not heard of anyone complain about it draining battery in half a decade. Idc what sources you pull up, this is absolute nonsense.
