    In some cases, a 5G-capable phone can use both 4G and 5G technology. This is because 5G technology is a newer type of network that runs on different frequencies than 4G. 4G technology uses radio waves that are around the frequencies that people typically use for cell phone service. 5G technology uses radio waves that are in a new range, which means that it can reach farther and faster.

    Because 5G technology is still in its development stages, it may not be available in all areas. However, many 5G-capable phones can use both 4G and 5G technology. This means that you can use your current phone with a 5G-capable SIM card and still have access to the same 4G service that you currently have. Additionally, many 5G-capable phones have the ability to use 5G technology. This means that you can use the 5G network when it becomes available in your area.

    To summarize it

    Some phones only have 4G or 5G coverage depending on the location. If the phone moves out of the coverage area, the network icon may change on the phone’s status bar.
