Why would you want to use 5G network on your smartphone?

if you want to download more than 200mb file, using 5g with good speeds would save battery. you are not getting good speeds. so no point in using 5g. dont use it till speeds are better.

It will take a few years before you can fully enjoy it. Battery life will improve with newer SOCs with better modems. Carriers will add more infra (towers, fiber back-haul) to handle the growing number of 5G devices. OSes will have better software optimization to extract all the juice out of 5G capabilities.

Using 5G, though 5G connectivity indoor is bit iffy.
Not a big multi media consumer here, so generally ignore the speed variance.

And India is already planning for 6G !

I am getting rock solid 5g coverage on Jio both indoor and outdoor, my phone doesn't heat up unless I turn on hotspot and download massive files and easily get 1.5-2 days battery life on normal usage. Also speeds are vastly superior in my area, I get around 50-100mbps on 4g and 300-1000mbps on 5g.

So for me I don't see point in switching to 4g.

5g phones still seem to be in early stages and its a just a hype among people to get hold off 5g but then its still too harsh on battery. SO for me its totally useless! And might only think of shifting to a 5g phone later this year.end of this yr.. Tussle between 5g SA and NSA.

Also a few observations regarding the speed:
1. I get two 5g bands, 3500mhz and 700mhz, they keep switching randomly through out the day even though I get full signals on both bands. I mostly get 3500mhz though.
2. Speeds on 700mhz band varies between 200mbps to 300mps, whereas I get 600-1000mbps on 3500mhz band.
3. These speed are achievable almost exclusively on servers located in India. I got about 85MBps on steam's delhi server but if I try to download something from US or EU servers speeds are limited to 30MBps max.

Overall I was expecting poor experience given how most early 5g reviews in US complained about poor coverage and 5g's inability to penetrate walls and stuff but I'm very pleased with the 5g experience that I'm getting, but I understand that I maybe in the minority so hopefully the coverage will improve for you all and so will your experience.

I like to see 5G speed test results when I am out in NCR. 300-600 mpbs speeds on mobile network looks great hehe.

I get 350+ Mbps speed in Gurgaon but I don't have much use of it.

I got Jio welcome offer on my secondary sim (329 plan) but not on primary sim (666 plan).

I used 5G (mobile hotspot) few days ago when I terminated Spectranet broadband and got a new Airtel broadband next day.

It worked well and took full workload of my home broadband including Desktop and 4K smooth playback on TV.

Problem I faced is when I get call on my primary number, internet gets disconnected (5G data was running on secondary number).

Edit: Checked just now and it is 512 Mbps.
