The advent of 5G brings the promise of super-fast internet, but it also raises questions about its impact on smartphone battery life. Many are switching to 5G smartphones for the enhanced experience, but the increased power consumption of 5G networks can significantly affect battery performance. Several factors contribute to this, making 5G a potential drain on your device’s power. Initial 5G chipsets, particularly those in smartphones launched around 2020-2021, were not fully optimized, leading to higher energy usage. Later models, released in 2022-2023, have faced overheating issues, further contributing to rapid battery depletion.
