I dont know much about 5g. What I do know however is this famous quote from tesla: "If you wish to understand the Universe think of energy, frequency and vibration."

My comment is pretty useless but basically its unlikely that 5g doesnt have an effect on the human body. What effect it does have, I dont know. If it's a bad one (negative for the body), I dont know, but it makes more sense than it being completely harmless.

All that being said, I'm not too worried about it. The 5g signals will be unavoidable even if you don't have a 5g phone

Massively higher data rates to a phone must have massively higher frequencies of signal to that phone to sustain that data rate. Unavoidable. So with every new iteration of tech and the transmitters, the signals are more energetic, since the energy of each increases with frequency.

I commented a bit with the frequency info on a p.w thread recently here.. pretty sure I was responding to a troll but the comment was to benefit others in the thread.

The freq range of the signal is dynamic and will scale up or down as the environmentals allow. Basically if you are in a dense metro area with lots of towers, you will cop the highest potential risks but your phone will have large throughput of data.

On the other hand, if you are in a rural area with isolated towers, it throttles right down in freq since those signals carry much further and dont get prone to disruption as much.. worse data rate but not as risky.

Regardless of where you live, I'd go for whatever hands-free type kits are available since you dont want them in proximity to areas like your brain as much as you can avoid it being so.

A friend of mine who understands energy quite well challenged me to convince him 5G is dangerous. I asked him to bring up the operating frequency range of 5G. Then I asked him to bring up the operating frequency of a microwave oven. Then I asked him what a microwave does to water. And finally asked him what the water composition of a human is.

His response "OH SHIT!"

The upper frequency range of 5G has the capability of boiling humans from the inside out. Any installation of a 5G tower is a direct threat to humanity and should be treated as such.

The 5G standard is publicly available so you can read it if you're so inclined.

Keeping it simple, it's the latest signal structure for new cell networks. It uses wider bands at higher frequencies so you can have more data and users but it's a shorter range, so you need more signal sources. Because they're shorter range and lower power, they'll be less conspicuous than the existing towers.

It can use beamforming to improve connectivity, so if multiple towers know where you are, they can time the transmission of a weak signal so they reach you at the same time and still keep you connected. In that way, it's 'unavoidable' but the power is lower than anything else we're exposed to now, sort of like GPS.

I don't think it's too much worse than anything else RF-related we've invited into our lives (WIFI, Bluetooth, cordless phones, microwaves) and if it's a lower power it's probably a bit safer.

Here’s CNN describing 5G back in 1985 (when they actually reported news):

It doesnt have anything to do with a smart phone having 5g capability. It gets very involved with frequencies and wavelengths as far as damage or potential harm biologically and how those interact with certain materials like graphene oxide. That being said. 5g transmissions comes from towers, its out there spacially regardless of what kind of phone you have if you live in an area that has towers transmitting. Thats where manipulation and changes can occur and would be of any concern for threat. Towers. Which of coarse already has significant area coverage already.
