Why you should consider moving to 5G

All the buzz around 5G makes it seem like the next must-have technology. However, because it requires a new phone and a top-tier unlimited plan, it can be hard to know when it makes sense to make the jump to 5G. While 5G still isn’t ready for everyone, there are some people that will benefit from everything on offer. 5G is in its early stages, but there are still some advantages to getting in on it now.

Make your new device relevant longer Use all of the power.

Many people commit to a couple years before upgrading their smartphone. With 5G deployment right around the corner for most people, having a phone that will be ready for this new technology makes sense. With a 4G-only phone, you could be paying for a network you can’t even access until your next upgrade opportunity.
Buying electronics for next year rather than this year is a common practice for many people. It’s annoying having a phone that doesn’t support the newest tech when it’s only a few months old. 5G phones available right now, like the Galaxy S10 5G or LG V50 ThinQ 5G are some of the fastest and most complete Android phones available. If you get a 5G phone today even without 5G service, the great hardware inside like the powerful Qualcomm X50 modem will get you the best of 4G LTE until 5G comes online.

If you are connected to 5G technology you are connected with the most modern, most powerful wireless network available. With 4G LTE Advanced, you can get many of the speed benefits of 5G, but your latency will be higher and you won’t have access to newer technology like edge computing when it comes into effect. This latency will be felt when navigating many different apps that require a constant online connection. The extra milliseconds it takes 4G LTE to form a connection can really start to add up for a heavy user.

You live in a covered city So take advantage.

This is the biggest “if” when it comes to 5G. If you live in an area that currently has or will very soon have 5G coverage then you will be all set to receive every benefit. While connected to 5G, data will be faster and more responsive than the current 4G tech and more consistent than hopping from one free Wi-Fi point to another.

“Treating data like a limited resource can really hurt.”

Move to the cloud Get that data flowing.

A lot of us know the benefits of cloud saving — save space on your phone and reduce clutter by offloading apps and saved files to the cloud. 5G can help you retrieve these files with little delay and can allow you to work from multiple devices fluidly. It can also simply reduce load on your local machine.
Treating data like a limited resource can really hurt the usefulness of a phone. When data is an afterthought, you are free to use your phone to the best of its ability without worrying about your connection. New phones have beautiful, high resolution displays and having the data needed to push full HD and 4K videos with 5G finally takes advantage of these beautiful screens.
