5G vs 4G REAL speed test results | Is it worth it??

✅ Stay *safe* online as still get *best speed* with VPN ✅

📡 Today I will be answering a lot of overdue questions: Is 5G faster than 4G?
We hear a lot about 5G being the “future” of the internet. Some have said it’ll transform entire industries, others, it was designed to “weaken our immune systems.” Conspiracy theories aside, I really want to put 5G through its paces, and perform the ultimate 5G vs. 4G speed test.

📡 5G vs 4G difference explained | Are the downfalls worth it? 📡

📶 The thing about 5G is that you need to be in direct view of a 5G cell tower to get reliable and fast speeds, if not this can affect the results. That’s why finding a prime location is always a priority. Our 5G vs 4G vs 3G speed tests concluded: the primary difference between these is the speed. The introduction of more bits-per-second being able to travel the network explains why 5G is faster in most cases. But we aren’t without issues here. I’m sure you’re no stranger to how long it took for 4G to spread across this planet.

📶 The country I’m currently in only has 5G in the bigger cities, if I go camping or out of town for a while I’d have tough luck finding a 5G connection. As I said, you’ve got to be in direct view of a 5G cell tower. 5G towers have a small range and can’t penetrate large buildings very well. The proper implementation just isn’t there yet and some people might find their phone switching in and out of 5G and 4G for those very reasons.

📶 Then there’s the elephant in the room - 5G security concerns. An increase in the so-called IoT devices - great for manufacturers, not so great for consumers. Cybersecurity is not often considered whilst making these low-end products. Leaving prime opportunity for ransomware attackers to gain access.

The most important difference is with 5G you get a whole extra G.

Verizon was willing to pay my co op to have a cellphone tower on our building but our co op voted it down. We could have had better cell service plus lower maintenance. Too many people fall for the conspiracy theory's. The funny thing is, the co-op next door soon had a cell phone tower on it.

We do have 5G capable phones and 5G towers for the dedicated network just for it, but we don't necessarily have the services that will provide that much Mb/s for users. We have the infrastructure for it but we don't have the services for it, an analogy would be like riding a skateboard on the Nascar race track.

Dude, you have the perfect commercial voice

Nice effort but why no one is actually able to really inform us correctly on the 5g vs 4g performance?

2 speedtests is ridicule man... A real test would be at least 10, and from very different locations, and from inside buildings.

Also, 5G doesn't have to use ultrafast waves, it can also, and will in 90% of areas, use regular waves lengths. We want to know how speeds are improved in that situations. Theory says it should improved latency and speed by around 20%, and also support much more devices connected to the tower at the same times. But I've never found a proper test online yet :(

5G is great, however, I am using a Lenovo x250, that's currently downloading at 100 Mbps and uploading of 30. Not bad at all.
The Lenovo has a modem built-in and doesn't need a hotspot.

[hcusfcus]

I dont know how much faster can 5g internet can get, my 4g internet already seems fast, everything i click loads right away.

Why not a single indoor test? Like usually people do eventually go indoors and wait for it - still use the phone

[TimwongTimwong]

If you live in the united States, you don't see much a difference, however, if you live in China, you could see the big differences.

5G sucks if your not close feels slower than 4g kinda hate it

[Nico-kwjg]

You didn't use the sames phone for both test. it could probably influence some result, right ?

[williamj]

I was forced into getting a new phone because AT&T (and others) were ending 3G (my phone was a Galaxy S8+ with 2G/3G LTE). So now I have a Galaxy S21 that is 5G capable. However I really see no speed difference than with my old phone. The current speed just now is 7.4 Mbps download - 1.2 Mbps upload. Earlier, it was 15.8 Mbps download - 3.3 Mbps upload. As far as I am concerned, the 5G hype is definitely over-rated.

[JustBlondie]

Still can’t see why you’d need it other than to download games or series and I usually do that in the house anyway

[anantav]

1:09 says the latest OnePlus, shows the spec sheet of OnePlus 8 which was released a year prior while holding a OnePlus Nord 🤦‍♂

[bsmracing]

Test at Home/indoors, dont wanna live on the streets like stray animals.

[amin]

In short, kinda worth it. But you'll need to have 5G tower in your region and you'll have to stand close to it or else it'll become slow.

[brentsummers]

Nice video thanks! If you're moving house & want to use wireless 4G/5G instead of fiber & unsure of which provider to use I suggest checking out the coverage maps and then buying a phone sim card for the most promising looking provider. Then buy some data for that phone & run some speed tests at your new house. This will give you a very good idea on how 4G wireless is going to work for you. I'm a big fan of 4G because of all the frustrations of using copper phone lines and ADSL. Fiber is subject to damage & dodgy installations just like the old copper wires.

Don't compare mmwave 5G against non Gigabit class 4G LTE

[hemerhermenegild]

We already know 5g is faster than 4g .... what would be the point if it was slower .... things is that i dont really need my phone to download faster lol .... but IOT require 5g, and there is so many sensors everywhere, you dont even think about. .... in the end you wont really need phone, 5g and all the sensors will replace your phone. Its like having your phone on 24/24. .... be connected all the time, enjoy
