  • In this video, we will explain everything you need to know about 5G and 4G LTE differences as well as differences between 5G standalone and 5G non-standalone and the difference between low band, mid band, and millimeterwave.
    In the US, all three carriers have special icons when you are connected to higher frequencies of 5G. With T-Mobile, if you see 5GUC or 5G ultra capacity, you are either on mid band 5G N41 or millimeter wave 5G N258, N260 or N261. With AT&T, if you see 5G plus, you are either connected to 5G mid band N77 or millimeterwave 5G with all or most of the same bands as T-Mobile. And with Verizon, if you see 5GUW or 5G Ultra Wideband, you are connected to 5G mid band N77 or millimeterwave 5G with the same bands used by all three carriers, 5G UW is not referring to the University of Washington sadly. if you see a regular 5G icon, you are connected to low band 5G, with AT&T and Verizon, you are most likely connected to 5G N5 or 5G N2. If you are on T-Mobile, you will be connected to either 5G NSA non-standalone N71 or 5G SA standalone N71.
    Low banned 5G has frequencies from 600 to 1900 MHz, 5G mid band has frequencies from 2500 MHz to 4.7 GHz. 5G millimeterwave can have frequencies from 28 to 39 GHz.
    Standalone 5G is 5G built right off the ground with no LTE/4G gear whatsoever. 5G non-standalone is 5G built on top of 4G LTE gear and may fall back to LTE.
    Watch until the end to learn about speed differences between mid band, low band, or millimeterwave 5G. in case you’re wondering about calls over 5G, currently, calls will fall back to LTE in most situations, calling over 5G is currently being tested in select markets, but Calls mostly use LTE, but you can still use 5G data during calls, but voice traffic is routed through LTE spectrum.
