Improved performance
5G SA gives you an even faster, more responsive connectivity with lower latency and increased connection stability. Perfect for demanding everyday use such as streaming, gaming and real-time applications.
Improved indoor coverage
Because 5G SA does not need a 4G connection alongside it, 5G frequencies can be used more efficiently. This can improve 5G reception and coverage, particularly indoors.
Longer battery life
Your smartphone no longer needs to maintain simultaneous 4G and 5G connections. This can reduce power consumption and help your battery last longer.
Enhanced security
5G SA uses dedicated device identity management to provide enhanced security for your mobile connection.
