What I want is for my speeds to go up when I don't have 4G, e.g. on commute

so the LG G5 ehm, anyway we were about 5g not the g5, right, big difference.

That'd be the shit

LTE is good enough here.

Connectivity and speed. DOes 5G have less range? If so it doesnt matter much.

i've got 168/61 before on 4g

low-range LTE antennas usually do well in speed

you can do low range or hiagh range 5g

@bentech well yeah but I wasn't really talking about used phones rn

most freqs though are around 3.4ghz

The less your phone is busy using 4g the longer the battery last

@Deleted User its like 200gbp for a lg g6

amazing

If it takes 1 sec on 5g and 2 minutes that's 119 seconds of transmit power saved

the g series can be good

provided they dont have bootloop issues (lol)

Oh really? Are they in low demand or something @bentech ?

no one wants them lol

5g is according to 3gpp specs just as efficient

LG isnt bad though

but ye if you want budget phone pretty much best option

I feel like they just built nationwide LTE antennas though

and they work pretty well

but yeah, 5G is still far in the future

All-IP core which arrived with LTE is pretty interesting though

No line switching crap

Probably will take a couple of years for phones to get it

first phone with 5g is already out lol

chink standardization :V

eh, USA bans the tech inb4

Not using the z3 5g mod lol

nah, they are probably standardizing the chink version of it

the new huawei chip has a 1.4gbps cat 21 modem!!!

or smth

hopefully there won't be a metric ton of band issues

like 4g

okee

reset the phone

İnstall gentoo

now how to make into have not chink UI

@bentech good to know, thank you. I actually like LG

But it seems like dad is getting a new phone from his employer which leaves a freed up Iphone 6S, and vodafone offered a significant device discount on the new plan
