> The survey also reveals 13% of people are unaware if their phone actually supports 4G or 5G

Include me in that. I have an old phone with a discount SIM installed. I only use it for certain international calls. Wikipedia and elsewhere describe it as "GSM / HSPA+ / LTE", and then explain that LTE "is also called 3.95G and has been marketed as 4G LTE and Advanced 4G" etc.

When network operators or phone manufacturers say 4G, they usually mean LTE, yes.
