Battery Drain: 5G users beware, the network is draining your phone's battery, these are the reasons for its rapid battery drain..

Nowadays, everyone wants to enjoy the high speeds of 5G, but have you ever considered how much it can weigh on your phone's battery? Now, let's think about the impact of the shift from 4G to 5G on the battery. Indeed, 5G networks can drain your phone's battery faster. This doesn't mean your phone will be completely damaged, but you may need to charge it more frequently.

Battery Draining Faster in 5G
Telecom Talk reports that 5G networks drain the battery faster than 4G. There are several reasons for this. First, the 5G chipsets in phones launched in 2020-2021 were not fully optimized. Even some chipsets released in 2022-23 overheat on 5G networks, leading to faster battery drain. Furthermore, 5G's high-speed data processing also demands more power. When you use 5G internet, your phone has to work harder, which directly impacts your battery.

Network Switching Problems Also Draining Battery
5G networks are not yet fully available everywhere. Phones frequently switch from 5G to 4G, especially in areas with weak 5G signals. This constant switching drains the battery rapidly. Furthermore, when 5G signals are weak, the phone repeatedly tries to find a signal. This process also drains the battery. If the network is completely stable, this problem may be alleviated, but 5G infrastructure is not fully ready in many areas.

Software and Display Also Play a Role
Phone software also plays a key role in battery life. Good software helps reduce 5G's power consumption. For example, Apple recently launched its 5G modem, which is designed to reduce battery consumption. This can give users better battery life. Fuarthermore, when you stream video in ultra-high definition (UHD) over 5G, the battery drains even faster. This is because the high-resolution display draws more power. If you stream in 720p or 1080p, the battery will drain less.
