Is it possible to switch from 5G to 4G(LTE)? As far as I know, it's just not possible on One UI, and its possible on other skins or OS. I just hate not having the ability to switch since 5G drains so much battery. And other 1st party apps only support lowering the cellular(mobile data) connection IF YOUR DATA USAGE is reaching its data limit, which I don't have.

Depends on your carrier if they give you the option

If your carrier allows it, It will show here

Thats weird. Im comparing it on the iPhone with the same plan, and it supports it. But my past Samsung devices(S22U and S24U) dont despite having the same plan.

I'm not sure I know Verizon doesn't allow switching, which is who I have

I have AT&T, though perhaps they may have shut the LTE lines down. If thats the case, I dont get why the iPhone supports it or if any other os/skins supports it. But even then, it still drains too much for my liking.

@PrimePixel IME AT&T does not enable the menu to allow you to switch bands or search for other signals.

Probably because they don't want the user misconfiguring their phone and then calling customer support.

T-mobile allows users to turn off/on 5G services, including voice over new radio. It's carrier dependent.
