Both, where the partner network supports them.
- 5G Non-Standalone (NSA) overlays 5G radio on an LTE core. It's the most common 5G deployment worldwide as of 2026.
- 5G Standalone (SA) uses a full 5G core, enabling network slicing, ultra-low latency, and better power efficiency on the device.
What you'll see
- On NSA: status bar shows 5G while the LTE control plane is still active. Speeds are 5G-fast.
- On SA: status bar may show 5G+, 5G UC, or similar. Speeds and latency are notably better.
Openline routing works transparently across both. Your device chooses the best mode available.
