So what is 5G?
In a nutshell, 5G or 5th generation mobile networks or wireless systems, is the next phase in mobile technology. It promises to improve coverage, battery consumption, and connection speeds, as well as support for other wireless products apart from phones and tablets.
5G
needs more investment in infrastructure as it has higher frequency than
4G so the coverage will decrease significantly hence more no of towers
required which will make it unfeasible as 4G Macro cells gives coverage
of 2 kms and 5G coverage is just 500 to 800 metres.
5G has speed in terms of 5–10Gbps which will easily fill the memory space of smartphones in few seconds and huge size of battery(10000 mAh) is required and heat dissipation will also increase significantly mmWave version of 5G needs Small cells as line of sight between tower and cell phone is required which will be burden to Telecos and Consumers 5G is practically unfeasible for now and it’s not an innovation but an incremental improvement over 4G by increasing frequency.

Wi-Fi
is already present as a better Alternative to 5G which is way cheaper
and best for Home broadband ,reliable and high speed. Coverage &
Speed of both are same.
Secondly
VoLTE technology is used for Voice Calls or 2G,3G is used for voice
calls there is no such standard for 5G for voice calls till now, there
are also limited VoLTE phones in world.
Important Advantages
There are several advantages of 5G technology, some of the advantages have been shown in the above Ericsson image, and many others are described below −- High resolution and bi-directional large bandwidth shaping.
- Technology to gather all networks on one platform.
- More effective and efficient.
- Technology to facilitate subscriber supervision tools for the quick action.
- Most likely, will provide a huge broadcasting data (in Gigabit), which will support more than 60,000 connections.
- Easily manageable with the previous generations.
- Technological sound to support heterogeneous services (including private network).
- Possible to provide uniform, uninterrupted, and consistent connectivity across the world.
