Not in hungary… Here 5G is real, and it has 4G speeds, in exchange, you can get up to 2G speeds with 4G. And it also has 98% coverage, with the 2% following you even in the Telekom building
What? 4k is literally a resolution, usually 3840x2160 or something around that. 1080p is another resolution, usually 1920x1080. These are never comparable.
The G in 5G stands for generation. This has nothing to do with quality or speed, but it sets an upper limit. You can have 5G that is absolute shit or 5G which is state of the art fastest speed available (until 6G comes out).

You would be right if lossy compression wasn’t a thing. But it is, and it’s getting used a lot.
“4k” can very much be worse than 1080p if it’s compressed in a way that erases more details. That’s what people are complaining about with streaming services and YouTube - the resolution numbers don’t mean shit, and quality at a given “resolution” has been degraded more and more over time.
I know these things. Doesn’t change what I was saying though.
Netflix has been advertising content in 4k and then streaming it at a lower resolution.
Likewise, the advertising for 5g leads you to believe that it is somehow vastly improved from the previous generation when no guarantee of that exists.
But most importantly, all of this is stemming from a one line joke—it was never a serious comment on 5g or 4k definitions. I’m surprised that you took it that way.
It’s like 5g—it is if you believe it is.

wdym ? how is it like 5g ?
The g’s in cellular data have long been devoid of any real meaning, and they keep coming out with more g’s that have essentially no improvements.
Much like how Netflix advertises 4k when the quality is no better than 1080p at best.
