5G is already triggering changes in user behavior and indoor coverage is very important to early adopters, according to a new user survey from Ericsson ConsumerLab. 5G users are often more satisfied with their experience than LTE users are, but they find the selection of 5G services and apps to be lacking, Ericsson found.
Ericsson ConsumerLab reported that 5G smartphone users consider indoor coverage as more important than either speed or battery life — twice as important, in fact. This is in part, Ericsson says, because early 5G adopters’ experience with 5G has largely taken place indoors, due to Covid-19-related lockdowns and travel restrictions.
