Due for a renewal soon and saw these 2 5G SA plans popped up on my upgrade page. Seems like a good deal considering it's an unlimited data plan, comes with watch data, EU roaming and a perk?
In my other half’s account those tariffs are showing up as £40+and selective. Not available to me.
Hard sell when loads of people turn 5G off anyways for "battery saving"I see £30 for the all rounder on my account. I love the EE random number generator.
I'm not surprised that prices are dropping. No one's going to go to EE / or an expensive plan just for standalone. Arguably it's more of a benefit to the network operator so it is ridiculous that they're attempting to charge for it at all, it would make more sense to just allow any compatible device, in an enabled area to use it.
Do they? 5G especially SA is more efficient and phones are smart enough to manage connections more efficiently than they used to be.Hard sell when loads of people turn 5G off anyways for "battery saving"
Oh I know that, I meant more anecdotally. There are so many people I know or have seen disabled it. It's a common battery saving technique on forums, Reddit, SEO spam sites.Do they? 5G especially SA is more efficient and phones are smart enough to manage connections more efficiently than they used to be.
If you switch on battery saver then 5G gets disabled, so that's pretty much the mainstream feeling.Do they? 5G especially SA is more efficient and phones are smart enough to manage connections more efficiently than they used to be.

I turn my 5G off on my phone as it rinses through my Samsung's battery.Hard sell when loads of people turn 5G off anyways for "battery saving"
I'm another person who does this. 5G absolutely sodomises my iPhone 13 Mini's battery. Even in 5G Auto mode rather than forced to always on, my power consumption shoots up and can't even get close to a day of use. In 4G Mode I can get about a day and a half with my usage.Do they?
I'd be quite interested in this, as i pay for Apple music through EE anyway, it would be in effect unlimited data with 5G SA for £14 a month.Due for a renewal soon and saw these 2 5G SA plans popped up on my upgrade page.

My pixel 9 pro XL drops to 4G on android 15 when battery saver is on.just put my xiaomi 13 pro into battery saver mode and the 5g is still on on 3 network on the latest fw
Indeed - EU roaming with generous FUP (£25/30days or £2.47/day), Watch data (£7/month) and Apple Music (£11.99/month)I'd be quite interested in this, as i pay for Apple music through EE anyway, it would be in effect unlimited data with 5G SA for £14 a month.
I agree, really tempted to get an S24 Ultra next.Yeah I have a 15 Pro as my personal device and I only turn 5G on when I need it. Even in auto mode it kills the battery, although SA is better.
To be honest I just find the battery life of iPhones disappointing in general. I always expect it to be better but it isn't. The standby time also I am sure is less good than it used to be years ago.
