4G vs 5G: The Real Differences
==============================

Feature           | 4G LTE        | 5G              | Why It Matters
------------------|---------------|-----------------|------------------
Download Speed    | 100-300 Mbps  | 1-10 Gbps       | Cloud gaming, 8K video
Upload Speed      | 50-100 Mbps   | 200-500 Mbps    | Live streaming, backup
Latency           | 30-50 ms      | 1-10 ms         | Real-time control
Device Density    | 2,000/km²     | 1,000,000/km²   | IoT, smart cities
Network Slicing   | No            | Yes             | Custom networks
Reliability       | 99%           | 99.9999%        | Mission-critical apps

The real revolution is in the last three rows.
