>that's mainly because the west walled itself off from huawei, despite the company owning a majority of the global 5G marketshare
True... It'd be great to see 5G being more globally available.
>hilarious how westerners are now rejecting advancements in technologybecause they aren't the ones driving it anymore. who needs gigabitinternet nothing needs that much bandwidth anyway!!!
I'm from the US, and i totally agree with you. The west's desire for dominance is impeding with so much potential advancement. 5G was supposed to be widespread in the US by now, but so many things are trying to avoid it - particularly a lot of airports (this hinders major cities) and states (hinders entire regions).
I was thinking of getting a Xiaomi, and the units sold certainly are not far behind American brands. A lot of restrictions are being brought up in regards to imports from China, which is quite annoying.

Or just do what, iirc it was AT&T did: just display you're connected to 5g in the phone but it's not actually 5g 🙃
I still can't believe they got away with that.

It displayed 5Ge or something. 5G NR is an evolution on 4G LTE, so it might soorta make sense.

On Verizon, my phone (5g chip) will connect to 5g if there's even a single signal, which leads to terrible connections, and I can't manually change it to 4g unless there's no 5g signal.

That is what I got instead of a Xiaomi. Privacy issues between the US and China were kicking up a lot around that time, so i went with a more local brand.
