Devices with 5G have a separate 5G modem in order to access 5G connectivity. With the 5G rollout, don't expect it to have as many towers to spread the demand for bandwidth across as of yet. You can shut off the 5G connectivity on your device to force it down to 4G LTE. This should extend your battery life as well.
As gramps mentioned. 5G isn't really worth adopting yet. The fall of 2020 should start to see the integration of the Sprint and T-Mobile networks, which should help improve 5G coverage and speeds.
