iQOO Z9 Lite review: 5G is a bonus feature on this value-for-money smartphone

5G, the latest mobile network technology, promises many advantages over 4G, including faster internet speeds and lower latency. Despite the benefits, 5G adoption in the country has not progressed as quickly as industry leaders anticipated. One of the primary reasons for the slower uptake is the requirement for new, expensive smartphones.

This is not to say that the prices of 5G smartphones have not been decreasing over the past few years, but, most 5G-enabled devices still cost a lot more than their affordable 4G counterparts.
