Im due to upgrade shortly and was wondering if its worth going for one of the newer 5G enabled phones? I'm on three if that makes a difference

At the moment the infrastructure isn't there yet to supply smooth noise levels so the 5G radio doesn't have to consume extra power keeping the signal strong in areas it's available. It also consumes more power when in use anyway and by the time 5G is as widespread as 4G (+95% of the country), the phone you buy now iwll be a complete waste of extra money and a dinosaur of a device.
There is absolutely zero logical reason why anyone would buy a 5G phone now other than street-cred points.
Speed doesn't even factor into it. Most contracts are the mid to low tier data packages which throttle you to 60Mbits anyway. Whilst 4G typically in off-peak times and in strong areas offers up to around 150Mb down with 30-80Mb average. Even lower numbers during peak times.

I hope 5G works better than DAB...

The problem is whilst the specs are great, it's not going to be worth half that monstrous cost come 5G rollout nationwide. By that time the same specs (if not better) will be considerably cheaper too. This purchase is only for the now, and not long term unless you're stuck with it on a 24 month contract I suppose.
