5G isn’t *just* faster—it’s also about capacity. Think of 4G like a 2-lane highway and 5G like a 10-lane one. More devices can connect without slowing down.
But the coverage is hit or miss. Sub-6GHz 5G (the more common type) has better range but isn’t *that* much faster than 4G. The crazy-fast mmWave 5G? You gotta be basically next to the tower.
Battery life *can* take a hit, but newer phones are better at managing it.
