When I bought my Pixel 5, 5G wasn't even available here (yes, Portugal was the last country in the EU), but since January we have it available.
I never saw the 5G icon, but thought it was maybe due to poor coverage, but no. Google locks that feature so it only works in countries where it is officially sold. WHAT THE FUCK.
I mean, of course there is a way to root the phone and make it work, but WHY THE FUCK lock a feature like that?
And now I have a conundrum: is it worth it to do all that when the speeds are marginally faster and I probably won't notice in everyday use?
On the other hand, I have a habit of doing things out of spite...
