The particular phone that OP is referring to loses the 5G option in the preferred network setting when there's a Public Mobile SIM card in the phone.

@Allgone 

some members shared different tricks to get 5G working on it, but use at own risk:

An easier workarund is to  download app NetMonitor as advised by another member

A more intense "surgery" would be to update the firmware :

While this model is a 5G device, the Canadian verision of this model cannot connect to the 5G netowrk if a Public Mobile SIM card is being used. This is because of the way the device software has been programmed.

@Allgone Usually, phones are set to automatic network selection. If you are not in a 5G area, your phone might connect to the LTE network by default. Review the network coverage map and see if your phone connects to 5G when you're in 5G coverage area.

Can you enter your device's network connections and manually select 5G?
