I remember this being the case on the dawn of each new
cellular technology. Edge vs 3g, HSPA(+) vs 4g, etc. It'll get better over time. That said, I am purposely avoiding 5g until that time. No sense in paying extra for the phone and service for features I -don't- want to use.
- rsynnott 6y ago5G is generally looking a good bit better than 4G in most markets (including in non-AT&T US markets). This would seem to be an AT&T problem. That said, I wouldn't go near a 5G phone right now; in a year or so the price and battery impact will be down a lot.
- axaxs 6y agoYeah, power usage is going to be a hard one. One of the biggest things to drain battery, moreso than screen time even, is a super weak cell signal. I am curious how they are going to mitigate this effect, especially with mid band and mmwave 5g. I don't want my phone grabbing onto weak 5g and burning up when I'd be perfectly happy with existing low band LTE.
- fomine3 6y agoI avoid Snapdragon 865 generation because it requires external 5G modem thus not efficient, even thought Snapdragon 765G integrates 5G modem.
