Is 5G really good?

Darth_Vader__@lemmy.world to Technology@lemmy.world – 13 points –

I've heard multiple issues with 5G, like range and stuff, effectively sacrificing range and reliability for even more speed just so that companies can market it better. Do you think 5G is a downgrade compared to 4G?

Unfortunately there was a bit of hysteria around 5G, but I would personally prefer more research be conducted on the safety of 5G before mass implementation. There's enough research out at the moment saying that more research needs to be conducted, but there's a potential for adverse outcomes.

Yes, my research also suggests that I need more funding before I reach conclusions.
