How To Turn Off 5G On a Samsung Galaxy S20 Using an App

Samsung Galaxy S20 owners can turn off 5G and use another Band such as 4G LTE.

Turning off 5G on a Samsung Galaxy smartphone depends on the cellphone carrier, with some having an option in Settings and others needing to use an app.

For example, T-Mobile currently allows users to switch between Bands while Verizon users will need to use an app.

Why Users Turn Off 5G

Battery Life
5G Not Wide Spread
Often Not as Fast as 4G LTE

When using 5G, the Galaxy S20 has a shorter battery life compared to using another Band.

This often does not matter to many who have quick access to power, but using another Band will improve the duration if you need longer battery life.

Another reason is 5G is not widespread causing some slowdowns when switching between all the different technologies.

Every user will have a different experience which can have many factors such as the cell towers, terrain, and even the weather.

4G LTE is widely available and reliable, making it a good choice for basic web browsing, emailing, social media, and more.

Disabling 5G – Settings vs. App
It will depend on the Cellphone carrier whether there is an option to disable 5G.

An app can also be used and will be needed for those carriers who do not have the option to disable 5G.

If the option is available it is best to turn it off without the app but the app also works.

Let us know in the comment below if your cellphone carrier allows 5G to be disabled or not.

Galaxy S20 Band Options

5G/LTE/3G/2G
LTE/3G/2G

Any of the Band options should work but will depend on the cellphone towers in your location.

The towers are usually backward compatible with older technologies.

If a Band is available of any band will depend on your location, carrier, and cell towers.
