i see the china man that always did performance benchmarking for new phone

he always said gaming + 5G ur phone will hot like shit.

for now, in my pov, 5G is to show off nia.

I received the notification, but using a non-5G phone

true.. i have read quite a lot of sharings from singapore, taiwan, china and US forum as well.. most people reported that 5G is battery drain and the penetration of signal is not good enough and cause low signal.. so phone tend to be warm/hot..

and myself is using Celcom XPAX lite M because im work from home all the time.. i just need a stable and average speed to receive msg/surfing during outdoor.. the rests of my time will be conencted to WIFI most of the time.. so 5G is not necessary to me.. just curious about how big difference in term battery drain between 5G and 4G..

Im going to have low data quota and even 8GB i never finish it.. haha so plan to do a quick test if it came to me.. but unfortunately XPAX LITE M no going to get that.. only XPAX 40 will get that.. thinking whether should i give anotehr RM2 for celcom..

Their CS not consistent .. I called and she told me it's activated automatically and as long as you have a 5G enabled phone, you will be able to use 5G. She asked me to check with Samsung if my Fold 4 is 5G activated. I said yes coz I have YES 5G on my phone.

She asked me to try to shut down and turn on my phone again ... done that but still no 5G and I am in KLCC area, which has 5G.

i just proceed upgrade my plan from Lite M to XPAX 40.. there is additional add-on called 5G add-on.. i guess can check through Celcom Life app to verify whether you have receive that in ur phone..

Did you manage to get 5G after upgrade to Xpax 40? Celcom Life App no 5G Add On for me.. I only see Internet Add on 5 GB. Not 5G add on

iphone memang tak boleh for the moment. same like YES 5g

just submit change plan.. order status still showing created.. yet to complete.. guess plan change progress will take 1 day?! not sure.. haha..

btw 5G coverage is really ...... pity i would say... Government had drag for few years.. shame on them..

RM0 The REAL 5G is here! You can now experience ultra-fast 5G connectivity on Celcom's widest network. Please ensure you use a 5G compatible device within the coverage area.For more info, visit https://www.celcom.com.my/5G. T&Cs apply. Sincerely, Celcom.


My plan change status is completed. I have received this message now..

So, Celcom will charge RM10 for 5G access after 31 Dec 2022. Source

I subscribed to Xpax RM35 30GB 5G ready plan on my Samsung Galaxy S21, 5G icon appeared once I restart my phone, speedtest using fast.com shown 150Mbps download speed at Rampai area.

We can opt-out of this right? Better stick to 4G if 5G coverage is not good..

Even 4G is bad despite having wider coverage

We need a telco that give FREE 5G to have FREE 5G for all telco.
Most probably we will get it for FREE. Telco likes to test water, put the price but don't dare to charge because anyone can just switch to whatever telco that give FREE.

Anyone still using Celcom First Blue?

I'm currently using Celcom Postpaid Gold RM80 monthly

1. Is there any benefit upgrading to Celcom MEGA 80 Lightning?

2. Does Celcom MEGA 80 Lightning allow hostpot and how much quota? the website did not mentioned this but only for the Unlimited one

Mega Lightning 80 dont have unlimited. Unlimited is only for 98 and above

i did not received SMS but today morning is already 5G

5G is great for unlimited data..if use any plan with allocated data..it can be matter of seconds for the data to be deplete..

And have to buy more data..

Then there is issues that to use the 5G need additional fee..RM10..just like the old days when use BlackBerry..

i run a couple of speedtest also consume 2GB already.

Anybody in Melaka got it already?
