Though not quite as bad as 4G LTE was when it first came out (who remembers the HTC Thunderbolt or the Motorola Droid Bionic\u2019s battery life?). Luckily, you can still turn off 5G and conserve your battery life. You\u2019ll actually get quite a bit of battery savings when you disable 5G on your Google Pixel smartphone.<br \/>\nThe good thing is, even when you disable 5G on your Pixel, you won\u2019t lose a lot of speed. Since 5G is mostly the same speed as 4G LTE in a lot of areas. While it\u2019s true, mmWave is a whole lot faster, that is not available in a lot of areas, and you will really only notice that speed outside, because of the way that mmWave works.<br \/>\nSo, we\u2019re going to show you how you can disable 5G on your Pixel smartphone. This will work on every Pixel ever made, from the Pixel to Pixel 5a. The screenshots may look a bit different compared to your Pixel, since this was done on Android 12. But the steps are the same.<br \/>\nHow To Disable 5G On A Google Pixel<br \/>\nFirst off, head into the Settings app on your Google Pixel smartphone.<\/p>\n<p>Next, tap on Network &amp; Internet.<br \/>\nNow tap on SIMs.<\/p>\n<p>From here, you will want to scroll down and tap on Preferred network type.<br \/>\nHere you can choose from 5G, 4G, 3G, and 2G. We would recommend tapping on 4G, as the others are going to be very slow and coverage may not be as great.<br \/>\nNow, your phone will connect to 4G, instead of 5G. It may take a moment for the change to actually take place though. You can repeat the steps above if you ever want to go back to 5G.<br \/>\nAnd it\u2019s just that easy.<br \/>\nThe post How To Disable 5G On A Google Pixel Smartphone &amp; Save Battery Life appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/How-To-disable-5g-on-google-pixel-AM-AH.jpg\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While 5G might be the next big thing, in terms of mobile data, it is still a battery hog.
