Eh. 5G is very much overrated. Very few advantages, at a great cost. Most places and telecoms don't even take full advantage of existing LTE tech.

It's just phone companies coming up with a new buzz concept because innovation has stopped in the mobile phone industry and people are upgrading less often because 2/3+ year old phones work perfectly well.

Can anyone confirm if this is actually 5G according to spec, or "5G" in the way that LTE was "4G", but not really[0]?
