​Why do 5G mobile phone users always turn off the 5G switch (deactivate the 5G function)? According to media surveys, many netizens who use 5G mobile phones often turn off the 5G switch of their mobile phones.

It may also be precisely for this reason that operators are in a hurry. Recently, Huawei Hongmeng's cancellation of the 5G shortcut key has caused heated discussions. It is said that removing the 5G pull-down shortcut switch is a unified requirement of the three major operators. Of course, the so-called unified requirement here is obviously the most inconvenient for users, and it is impossible to completely prohibit the deactivation of the 5G function.

Of course, there are fewer 5G packages at present, and the price is generally more expensive. In fact, even if the user does not purchase a 5G package, as long as the 5G function is not actively turned off, most 5G mobile phones can now use the 5G network. So why do many users deliberately turn off the 5G function?

Except that turning off the 5G function can indeed save power and extend the standby time a little, there is no special benefit. First of all, if you use 5G network, the speed is naturally faster than 4G.

Also, there may be a bit of a misunderstanding in this, that some people think that using a 5G network may consume more traffic, which does not make any sense. How much data you use depends entirely on the software you use, as well as the amount of downloads or the consumption of music and video playback. It doesn't matter if you use a 5G network or a 4G network.

Of course, there are still some people who may be because there is no 5G network coverage in their area at all, or the 5G network already exists but the coverage is not perfect and the signal is not good. This may cause the mobile phone to switch between 5G and 4G automatically and frequently, and users are annoying, so they simply stop the 5G function.

Moreover, in addition to a very small number of high-definition live broadcast and game needs, 4G networks can meet the needs of most current mobile APP applications. This has caused the embarrassment of the status of 5G networks and the lack of application scenarios. This requires APP application developers to accelerate the development of 5G networks. Without enough 5G applications, users certainly do not need to use 5G networks.

Finally, in general, 5G packages are more expensive than 4G, and there are fewer types. In addition, the coverage of 5G networks is still limited, which requires operators to work harder. Adding more packages (the benefits are more important) and building more and faster 5G base stations will increase the attractiveness, and users will be willing to use 5G. This is the fundamental problem.
