What's the difference between a 5g phone and a 4g phone?

Hello, everyone, in the past few years, mobile communication technology has made great progress, the most striking of which is the popularization and application of 5G and 4G communication standards. With the increasing popularity of 5G mobile phones, today I will explain the difference between them.

First, the transmission speed.

The most obvious difference between 5G mobile phones and 4G mobile phones lies in the transmission speed. 5G mobile phones adopt more advanced communication technology, and the transmission speed is much faster than that of 4G mobile phones. Specifically, the transmission speed of 5G mobile phone can reach 10 Gbps, while the transmission speed of 4G mobile phone is only about 10 Mbps. This means that downloading high-definition movies or large-scale games with a 5G mobile phone is much faster than using a 4G mobile phone.

Second, network coverage.

The coverage of 5G networks is much smaller than that of 4G networks, because the transmission distance of 5G signals is short, only tens of meters. Therefore, in some remote areas or inside buildings, 5G signals may not be covered, and 4G mobile phones do not have this problem. However, with the gradual construction and popularization of 5G base stations, it is believed that the coverage of 5G networks will gradually expand in the future.

Third, delay.

Because the 5G network adopts more efficient data transmission technology, the time delay is much lower than that of the 4G network. According to the test data, the delay of 5G mobile phone is usually below 10 millisecond, while the delay of 4G mobile phone is about tens of milliseconds. This low-delay feature can be used in many scenes that need rapid response, such as telemedicine and self-driving cars.

Fourth, the equipment power consumption

5G mobile phones and 4G mobile phones are also different in terms of device power consumption. Because the 5G mobile phone needs higher energy consumption to maintain faster transmission speed and greater data flow, its battery power consumption is much faster than that of the 4G mobile phone. But with the continuous progress of battery technology and the continuous optimization of application scenarios, I believe this problem will be solved in the future.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) application scenario

Although both 5G mobile phones and 4G mobile phones can be used for basic application scenarios such as voice calls, data transmission and network connection, the emergence of 5G networks has also brought some new application scenarios. For example, because of its high speed, low delay and Dalian access, 5G network can play an important role in telemedicine, intelligent manufacturing, smart cities and other fields. 4G network mainly meets people's daily communication needs, and has limited support for some emerging application scenarios.

Sixth, the degree of popularization.

At present, although 5G mobile phones have gradually become popular, 4G mobile phones still occupy a certain market share. This is mainly because some users do not have high requirements for the performance of mobile phones, and only need to meet the daily communication needs. In addition, some users may be worried about the security of the 5G network or have misunderstandings about the 5G network, so they will not consider buying 5G mobile phones for the time being. However, with the passage of time and people's awareness of 5G technology gradually improved, I believe that more and more users will choose to buy and use 5G mobile phones in the future.
