Before we get to the phones though, what exactly is 5G? It’s the successor to 4G or LTE, which succeeded 3G (can you spot the pattern?). Once phones and the network infrastructure have been made 5G-capable, we can all start enjoying faster upload and download speeds.

How much faster? It depends on your device, location, and network, but improvements of around 15-50 percent should be possible day to day in the real world. Hypothetically, in lab conditions, 5G can improve on 4G many more times than that, so there’s room to grow: imagine full 4K movies downloading in a minute or two, and you’re in the right area.

5G isn’t just about speed though: about being able to watch 4K Netflix on the train home. It’s also about capacity, and being able to get a stronger signal in crowded areas. In other words, you shouldn’t lose connection at a crowded sports stadium or a music festival.
