The Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are here, but you may want to know how to disable 5G so that your smartphone lasts longer. Turning off 5G on Google’s phone is a really simple process, and with the state of 5G in the US, you won’t be missing out on much.
Why focus on 5G? We think Google went with an older, less efficient 5G modem for the Pixel 6 series. As evidence, in our Pixel 6 battery life tests, the regular Pixel 6 lasted for considerably longer over LTE than it did over 5G.
We received the unlocked Pixel 6 models for review, so the Verizon and AT&T specific models might differ in their battery life. That said, with a few taps, you can disable 5G and get the most out of your Pixel 6. Here’s how to do that.
How to disable 5G on Pixel 6
1. Open Settings, then tap Network & internet.
2. Tap SIMs.
3. Scroll down to Preferred network type, then tap it.
4. A dialog box will open it. Tap the option for LTE.
