Will switching to 4G turn off 5G and save battery?

Anybody know if switching to 4G only and not 5G will save battery power? I'd rather save battery than improve download speed a small amount of it's possible by turning off 5G.

It might actually 'cost' you battery life, depending on where you are. 5G isn't only for improved speeds; if you're using the low band ones it also helps with wall penetration, giving you a better signal (ergo, less power used on the phone) indoors.

But depending on your carrier and specific location, turning that off will, in theory, more often than not, save some battery (or at least be negligible difference).
