   I have no problem with reception, where my 2021 phone is both 5G & 5G.   
   The 5 amp hour battery on my Galaxy A32-5G is similarly strong as a horse.   
      
   If the OP is in the USA, there are essentially only three main carriers.   
    AT&T: Shut down its 3G network in February 2022   
    Verizon: Completed its 3G shutdown by December 2022   
    T-Mobile: Phased out its 3G services throughout 2022   
      
   All three offer 4G and 5G coverage in the USA.   
      
   The OP can install a graphical signal debugger which will tell him how many   
   decibels of signal are in his area. He can compare with other carriers.   
      
   Also, there are mathematically calculated signal coverage maps for all   
   three carriers from the FCC (I haven't looked at them in a while though).
