Feature request : 5G toggle in the quick settings curtain

[mirog]

Hello, I'm from France and I don't speak german but you can answer me in german. I ordered the 8.1 version of the phone. I will get it in october.

5G use a lot of battery. In my actual phone I switch from LTE to 5g via the settings menu in case I need speed.
But I will really like to use only the quick settings curtain for the 8.1. Is it possible please to have it ?
Thanks

As far is i read information about 4G / 5G correctly, only the non-standalone 5G consumes more energy because it is a 4G connection with additional 5G.
The "real" standalone 5G should consume less energy than a standalone 4G due to e.g. optimizations in the protocol.

@amartinz
As a consequence, could you maybe add an option to allow only pure standalone 5G, if available and otherwise only pure 4G (without any non-standalone 5G addon), to always have quite good speed but really the maximum energy efficiency?

Afaik its not an issue of the network but the modem, and our modem alway powers 4g and 5g together, if 5g is activated. not only if its not a 5g SA connection. But i might be wrong.
Anyhow, i like the idea of a prefered network tile/fast access, this reques has my second!

my 5G connection is NSA in France. That's why it takes a lot of battery.
