5G utilizes more power than 4G.
Here are some random links when searching about the phenomenon :

5G also does not seem to penetrate well in buildings, causing the phone to constantly be searching for a network under this circumstance.
5G penetrates exactly the same into buildings. It's just an updated protocol to 4G that runs on the same frequencies. The naunce is that FR1 is identical to 4G, while FR2 aka mmWave is different, but is only available on iPhones.

Mmwave is available on many more devices than just iPhones. Most flagship phones have it, including older ones like the Pixel 7 pro.
Ah sorry, I watched this video a while back and thought that it was only iphones that support it. Apparently the distinction was that the us is the only country that gets iphones with mmwave.

Still, adoption is quite negligible.
