3.5G is enough for me even though I'm on a 4G phone.

    Bewildered , 02 Jul 2019Japan switched off its 3G years ago, in the UK "3" (Three o... moreFor running 5G..adequate devices must be in hands..FIRST. I don't think..it will happen in a blink and people are gonna sacrifice their 4G flagships just for nothing. Upgrade of 5G towers is a time consuming process..which is under progress. And JAPAN is not the whole world !!!!

            I can see them switching off the 3G network, and operating just 4G, and 5G as I don't know what the specifics are but there could be a saving in not paying the UK Government to hold a 3G license you don't need.

            Network that have 2G will have to decide if 2G or 3G is to be shut down

            The estimate is imo woefully inaccurate as too slow
            Korea has a huge 5G pre registration on one of its networks
            A lesson has been learned from Apple in that these 5G phones are 4G flagship with a 5G antenna installed, buying a 4G phone now means you cannot update it later on.

            The 5G Internet speed is the facto here, anyone who thinks the network us going to increase its 4G speed is deluded

            I would not bet against Apple but this time delaying 5G until 2020 may cost them, do I want another 4G phone, if you have 3 already.

            The fact that they're many 5G capable handset already and a 5G network being rolled out is offering people a choice if it is, I can have a 4G Handset now, or the 5G now?

                        You need analysts and spend millions of dollars to do that?

                              There are a lot of variations within 5G itself, unlike 4G which is purely a mobile network, 5G for mobile telecom is just a part of 5G IoT (which is a massive untapped market in itself )

                              Hope carriers provide the best version of 5G
