wes,

Yes, those Nokia models are vintage 2018. I expect that 4G will continue to
be supported for a few more years, similar to 3G having been supported after
4G came out.

I wonder, though, if when 5G is the only supported protocol whether
'smartphones' will still support voice in addition to gigapixel photos and
videos from their half-dozen cameras. Every cell phone website stresses
their imaging capabilities, not the quality of voice communications.
Perhaps, then, the devices will be called 'pocket tracking and image taking
tools.'

Stay well,

Rich
