I'm guessing here, but both can be true. Your phone can be offering 5GHz as a hotspot. Your laptop connects but can only negotiate a connection on the fallback 2.4GHz band. You phone isn't going to reflect the fallback speed your laptop actually connected with -- it's just going to reflect what it is offering.
With my phone, I can specify which band is used for the hot spot and a WiFi utility verifies the band selected is the one used.
As you saw in my photo, I can also specify the band, then ignores it. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
