Do I need 5G?

Difference between 5G and 4G

When it comes to 5G, many people only think of faster internet. But the new generation of mobile communications is much more than just an update to 4G; it is the foundation for a digital future full of possibilities. You may be asking yourself, ‘My 4G works great – why do I need a smartphone that supports 5G?’

The answer: 5G is up to 100 times faster than 4G. For you, that means:

films, games and large files load in seconds.
Even when lots of people are online at the same time – for example, in stadiums, at festivals or in city centres – the connection remains stable.

The most important advantages of 5G

In addition to higher speeds, 5G offers many other advantages:

Autonomous driving will only be possible safely with low latency.
Smart cities benefit from a networked infrastructure.
Digital innovations in industry, medicine and everyday life rely on the performance of 5G.

5G as a technology of the future

Even if your current 4G still works reliably, 5G is the technology of the future on which innovations in the coming years will be based. Without 5G, developments such as self-driving cars, connected cities and digital health solutions would be inconceivable.
