5G is the fifth generation of mobile network technology. It is an improved version of 4G LTE, which brings much faster speeds and more capacity.

5G is not just an improvement in speed, but a completely different technology from 4G.      
Speed: 5G is up to 5 times faster than 4G. This allows you to download a full HD quality movie in a few minutes.      
Latency: 5G has a network response time (latency) that is 30% faster than 4G, which is very helpful for online gaming and live streaming.
