With the popularity of 5G, many mobile phone users have experienced the convenience of 5G. At present, almost all 5G mobile phones are sold on the market, and with the increase of 5G network coverage, everyone is also accustomed to using faster 5G networks. But the problem of consuming too much power comes with it.
The biggest difference between 5G mobile phones and 4G mobile phones is the addition of 5G RF and 5G antenna modules, and the ultra-high 5G network speed experience of 5G mobile phones is based on more complex and more power-consuming antenna and RF designs, which need to be driven by battery power to achieve.
5G base station coverage area is small, in the case of low 5G coverage (in some places 5G signal is not good), will aggravate the task of mobile phone processing information, if the preferred 5G network, it will cause mobile phones to frequently search for signals, search signals bring about increased power consumption.
At the same time, 5G mobile phones will also make certain modifications to the antenna itself, the original 4G mobile phones have 4 groups of antennas, then the 5G mobile phone needs to design 8 groups of antennas to meet the signal stability, and each group of antennas needs to design independent power amplifiers. This increases the power consumption of the mobile phone.
Compared with 4G mobile phones, the performance of 5G mobile phones has been greatly improved, 5G mobile phones need to handle more tasks, and in the case of faster network speed, the data processing capacity and data processing volume of mobile phones will be correspondingly improved. While 4G and 5G mobile phones have been maintaining data transmission, the power consumption of 5G is certainly the fastest.
5G mobile phone transmission speed is faster, the bandwidth is greater, the amount of data read and written per unit time is more, the power of the chip itself is increased, the data transmission volume is increased, the hardware is increased, the heat generation is increased, and the frequency band management needs to be continuously tuned. At present, the power consumption of 5G mobile phones is about 20% higher than that of 4G mobile phones. ”
For the significant increase in power consumption of 5G mobile phones, mobile phone manufacturers are one to improve the battery capacity of mobile phones, the battery capacity of mobile phones is mostly more than 4000 mAh; the second is to exert power on the power of fast charging; the third is that when the network usage is large, the system will automatically adjust to 5G mode, and in standby mode, it will fall back to 4G mode, so as to balance data usage, speed and power consumption in real time to extend battery life. Although the power consumption of 5G mobile phones is indeed higher than that of 4G mobile phones, there will be no obvious difference in battery life time when used.
