Which newer phone? The PinePhone and the PinePhone Pro use the same 4G modem, a Quectel EG25-G. PINE64 has not released any 5G cellphone, and I am not aware of any plans to release one at this time.
What is sure that upgrading the modem if and when a 5G model will be out will require replacing at least the mainboard if not the entire phone, because the modem is soldered on the mainboard. But waiting for a 5G model does IMHO not make any sense at this time, since there are no public plans for one.
