United Kingdom: When I first heard that a 5G rollout could make my old phone feel like a console, I laughed. I thought it was a marketing buzzword.

When I first swapped my tablet for a phone to play a casual puzzle game, I noticed how quickly the screen size shrank but the fun didn’t. Within a week, I was juggling a to‑do list, a weather app, and a new rhythm game, all from the same device.
