The Google Pixel 6 are again in the spotlight due to failures that have arisen in relation to 5G connectivity. The mobiles of the American company have been harshly criticized by users due to the impossibility of taking full advantage of the functions they boast of.
5G connectivity is one of the great advances of recent times, as it provides a much higher browsing speed than the 4G standard. So it is one of the favorite features of users due to the speed it guarantees, although the owners of the Pixel 6 do not seem to be entirely happy with it.
Consequences of 5G on the Google Pixel 6
The 5G connection is designed to experience high speeds when browsing the Internet, but, of course, it comes with some drawbacks. The problem is that they are insignificant burdens that do not generate system failures. Quite the opposite of what happens with the Google Pixel 6 models, which are being victims of the following problems:
5G drains the battery a lot
Like any other function of your smartphone, this type of connection consumes more battery than necessary. However, the energy consumption in Google mobiles is completely disproportionate according to users. To such an extent that there are those who say that it is not worth so much speed if the battery life is reduced so much.
In this sense, the battery of the Pixel 6 is suffering, although there are some methods to reduce wear, such as reducing the refresh rate and brightness of the screen, deactivating activity in the background… Alternatives that will allow you to make the most of this property.
Google Pixel 6 overheating
Summer is a critical season for devices, since the heat can cause various failures in the system, such as slowdowns, less autonomy… This means that keeping it away from high temperatures is convenient and advisable.
However, the Google Pixel 6 experiences overheating when the 5G remains on. A problem that could be directly related to the above. Because of this excessive heating, users have preferred to opt for the 4G network.
Slower speeds than usual
The last of the reasons why users prefer to opt for 4G connectivity is the slowness that 5G presents in the mobiles of the Mountain View company. It is unknown if this error is a software bug that they intend to solve with an update soon, but, for the moment, it is not fully taking advantage of this feature.
In fact, some users indicate that it does not make sense to activate the 5G network, since the connection speed is not differentiating compared to the standard and there are even those who point out that it is slower.
It should be noted that this issue does not depend entirely on the phone, since aspects such as the operator and the coverage it provides come into play here. This means that perhaps the problem is the result of a bad signal, so it is advisable to check it.
