i don't like 5g, 4g or whatever g terms, because they are used for over marketing. i use nr, lte and so on.

most nr implementations around the world are non-standalone implementations. which means nr relies on lte for signaling and core communication, therefore operators cannot switch lte off at all. non-standalone also provide dual usage of lte and nr in carrier aggregation. which means that nr uses both lte and nr frequency bands.

when standalone hits wider usage, then nr network can stand on its own without connecting to lte. it probably takes years.

generally speaking, volte does not work in nr, and it needs lte for signaling anyway. vonr is a different story.

i have been thinking about next pinephone model. i think nr chip is too expensive for it. however i don't know when they design new model, maybe nr chip is possible after two years. pp pro already costs 400 dollars, if next model costs 600 dollars, i have a bad feeling it's going to fail because of price.

i have pp pro, it's faster, but battery life is not better than in pp regular. software in pp pro is little more unstable.
