As Android developer reference states, TelephonyManager returns CellInfoNr only for 5G SA networks and CellInfoLte for 5G NSA networks. I need to get signal strength information for NSA networks, but can't find the information on how to get it from CellSignalStrengthLte.

5G, as far as I understand, uses Synchronization Signal and Channel State Information instead of Cell-Specific Reference Signal as with 4G, and thus the usual RSRP, RSRQ, and RSSI information are pretty useless with 5G networks.

Have I understood this wrong so that these metrics are actually relevant in NSA network, or how can I get the relevant metrics from the CellSignalStrengthLte object?

Maybe could help you call TelephoneManager. You can see below all types.

Use a funciton like this:

   fun getNetworkInfo() : Int {
    val networkInfo = connectivityManager.activeNetworkInfo
    if (networkInfo.type == ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE) {
    return networkInfo.subtype
    } else -1
   }

than parse the Int to check which type of connection is.

Connection types:

    /*

 * MobileSignalController.mapIconSets() as well as NETWORK_TYPES
 * Do not add negative types.
