Increase power consumption? US operators recommend users turn off 5G networks to save power

Currently, 5G construction is in full swing around the world, and major operators are making every effort to promote 5G networks and purchase spectrum usage rights at high prices. However, recently, Verizon, one of the three major telecom operators in the United States, suggested on Twitter that people should turn off the 5G network on their phones to save power.

The tweet, from Verizon Support, said: "Have you noticed that your phone's battery health is declining faster than before? One way to help save battery life is to turn on LTE."

Some smart users pointed out under this tweet that turning on the LTE network means that users will turn off 5G. Obviously, this is to inform users in a tactful way. After all, as a strong promoter of the 5G network, Verizon will naturally not actively guide users to stop using the 5G network.

In response to a user's comment, Verizon Support added that Verizon is "rapidly rolling out more 5G areas and continually making updates to improve speeds." Verizon's nationwide 5G network uses a technology called DSS, and in many cases its speeds are actually slower than the LTE network it's trying to replace.
