Now the era of 4G is old and 5G has reached almost every village. People have not been able to upgrade their 4G phones to 5G phones at the speed at which 5G connectivity has expanded. Some people think that by taking a 5G recharge plan, this superfast connectivity can be enjoyed on any phone. However, it is not so. 4G phones are not compatible with 5G. The reason behind this is not the recharge plan but technology.
Can a 4G phone be converted to 5G?
The easy answer to this question is no. Actually, for 5G connectivity, the phone requires many special hardware including 5G modem and compatible antenna, which are not available in 4G phones. These parts are made inside the phone itself and cannot be installed from outside. Similarly, a 4G phone cannot be upgraded to 5G by updating the software. Even if you have a 5G SIM and have taken a recharge plan with faster connectivity, your 4G phone will connect only to the 4G network.
Why doesn’t 5G data work on 4G phones?
If you want to use 5G data on your 4G phone, you will not get success. The reason for this is that 4G phones cannot recognize 5G data. There is no such thing as 5G connectivity for your 4G phone. 5G data operates on a completely different frequency band, which 4G phones do not have compatible hardware to detect. Therefore, if you want to use 5G data, then you must have a compatible 5G phone. Without this, you will not be able to take advantage of this connectivity with any expensive 5G recharge plan.
