Believe or not, still won't be getting the mythical 1gbps
What is the actual benefit of 5g besides draining phone battery faster than LTE?
5G has some security improvements, making it harder to track and spoof people's phones. It also supposedly offers lower latencies.
Well, actually, 5G was weakened so they could still spy.
Can you provide some sources that support this claim?
Weird, there was a huge hubub in german tech news at that time but now i only find hints and references, like how secret services were part of the boards, etc., while englisch terms search only spits garbage.
Well, here's about weaknesses in 5G, like downgrade & stingray attaks etc.
