Better than what I expected for hardware.

Why the "FZ" instead of "CF"?

They ran out of model numbers with the "CF" nomenclature. Since the FZ-55 everything will be FZ going forward.

You can tell them Rob they WON'T hurt OUR feelings if the just decide to remake some of the older models and update them. LOL

What about models like CF-54, FZ-55? would be compatible with 5G?

G2 and 40 so far are the only 2 units that support 5G. The 40 is a quad pass too.

Thanks!

On the subject of 5G, I just read this (from May 09, 2022):

https://www.macrumors.com/guide/mmwave-vs-sub-6ghz-5g/

Seems that (currently) 5G is a mixed bag, only having the truly great speeds ("theoretical speeds as high as 5Gb/s", actual speeds closer to 2 Gb/s) near airports, concert halls, sports stadiums, and such. This is because: "mmWave 5G networks are ultra-fast, but they're also ultra-short range. To use mmWave technology, you need to be within about a block of a 5G tower" (according to MacRumors). That article also says that: "mmWave spectrum is also blocked and obscured by doors, windows, trees, and walls".

(obscured by windows?)

5G Sub-6 speeds are more like a theoretical max of 2 Gb/sec (actual speeds achieved, in multiple countries, were more like 50.9 Mb/s).

Bottom line: 5G seems to still be a work in progress.
