5G Currently Uses a Lot More Battery

5G does a lot more than 4G, but it also hogs more battery life. Switching to 5G currently means you can expect a drop in battery life. Continuing 5G advancements and new ways of using phone batteries are slowly improving this, but it’s still going to be an issue for a couple of years. It’s worth waiting for a phone with battery upgrades designed to handle 5G without it being such a drain.
