      My phone supports 5G, but I never got to try it yet because I’d have to pay extra to my provider (Austria, Magenta (T-Mobile)). Fuck that, 4G is fine by me. Besides, I could still use 3G and aven 2G, although that’d be a bit insane.

      But 5G phones still comes with 4G antennas and 4G cell towers are still being used to cover areas 5G cant reach (since 5G hass less range). I don’t even have a steady 5G connection where I live lol (its not even that rural, I live in a US City ffs).

      I would rather say 3G cellphones.
      LTE is still widely in use today, while being mainly common in higher-end devices in 2015.
      3G/UMTS on the other hand still was the mainly used one in 2015, also because of pricing, while 3G networks are completely switched off by now.
