Missing 2G only network option

Coming from another phones I immediately noticed the lack of '2G only' option for cellular network. Why such decision? I noticed my phone is changing a lot between networks, dropping connection thus losing battery due to that. Also during gaming I see no reason to stay on 2G/3G toggle which is enough to cause lags in case of Wi-Fi drop. Might as well just use 2G and conserve some battery.
Could we please have '2G only' option (next to 2G/3G and 2G/3G/4G) for cellular network?

You can download an app called Force LTE. This app has all the combinations that you can want.

2g only, 3g only, 4g only, 2g +3g, 2g+3g+4g, 3g+4g

Missing 2G only network option
Hi...
I completely understand your question. I just got my ROG Phone just nearly 2 weeks ago. I came from Galaxy S7 where 2g ONLY network is available in the setting where I used mainly. Cos I use wifi principally for any internet connection. So, to save battery I use 2g as my main network and it really saved a lot of battery.
Sadly, as you mentioned, this option is noy available in ROG Phone 2. However, I found a workaround.
I downloaded an app in Playstore named "2g 3g 4g LTE Switcher". In "Advance Network Setting", choose GSM only.
I use it to for force ROG Phone 2 to stay on GSM (2g) ONLY and it works. I also can accept call juat fine.
There are other apps like it in Playstore. You also can try them.
Hope this will solve you problem as I understand completely you concern.
Thank you.
