5G Mobile: Is 5G a threat to your phone's battery? These are the reasons why it's draining quickly..

It's the era of 5G, and everyone is buying 5G smartphones for super-fast internet. But do you know what impact 5G networks have on your phone's battery? You might be wondering what impact switching from 4G to 5G has on your battery. Today, we'll explain how 5G networks are a battery killer and how they impact your battery.

According to Telecom Talk, 5G networks generally use more power (battery) than 4G networks, leading to faster battery discharge. There are several reasons for this, including that many 5G chipsets (processors) used in smartphones launched between 2020 and 2021 were not fully optimized. Furthermore, 5G chipsets arriving in smartphones in 2022 and 2023 face overheating issues, leading to faster battery drain.

Network switching is also a major factor.
In areas where 5G networks are weak, the phone has to work harder. Now, you might ask how? This is because the phone constantly switches from 5G to 4G, and this network switching causes the battery to drain faster.

Mobile Software Also Plays a Role
The phone's software also plays a significant role in your phone's battery life. If properly optimized, the software can help reduce battery consumption on 5G networks. Apple has also launched its own 5G modem, designed to reduce battery consumption, allowing customers to benefit from improved battery life. Overall, if the software is not properly optimized, the phone's battery consumption will increase.

Display Plays a Role
Streaming videos in ultra-high definition (UHD) resolution on a 5G smartphone can also drain the phone's battery faster than 720p or 1080p resolution. High-resolution displays consume more battery.
