“Be the first to show your amazing 5G phone to your friends and family” Describes the developer of the app on the Google Play Store. Actually, the app will add a 5G icon to your smartphone.
Make your friends think you’re already using 5G with 5G Simulator Max!
Actually, 5G Simulator Max was designed as a complete hoax. When you open the app, an “Enable 5G” button will appear in the middle of the interface. Just click to switch from 4G to 5G, it provides the app. Not surprisingly, this staging simply lets you get on the nerves of those around you. When you “enable 5G”, a network bar with 5G appears. The rendering varies depending on your device’s Android overlay.
The app was born after the bad idea of the American operator AT&T. Proud of its 1 Gbit/s 4G, the telecom decided to call it 5G Evolution and display the 5G icon on its subscribers’ smartphones. The operator was quickly mocked by the competition. In a video, T-Mobile hid the LTE (4G) designation of 9G.
As a reminder, 5G will not be deployed in France until 2020 when the first packages arrive. Full-scale testing by operators has already been carried out across France. What do you think about this app? Will you fool your friends? If so, did your trap work?
