5G can drain battery faster and may provide an unstable connection in areas with weak 5G coverage. Here’s how to switch to 4G on Samsung Galaxy.
Steps
- Go to Settings > Connections > Mobile Networks
- Tap Network Mode
- Select LTE/3G/2G (auto connect) to disable 5G
Options Explained
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| 5G/LTE/3G/2G | Uses 5G when available (default) |
| LTE/3G/2G | 4G max — more stable, better battery |
| 3G/2G | Legacy networks only (not recommended) |
Tip: For most business users, LTE/3G/2G provides the most reliable everyday connection. You can always switch back to 5G when you’re in a well-covered area.
