Shulou(Shulou.com)05/31 Report--

F T-Mobile has been saying for months that it has a smarter and better 5G strategy than Verizon and ATT. Executives claim that to understand what the best 5G network looks like, you should consider a strange cake with three different levels.

The most important thing is ultrafast millimeter wave technology. So far, Verizon has based on its entire 5G experience. The data speed on the millimeter wave is fast (usually more than 1Gbps), but the signal transmission distance is not far. It could be one or two city blocks. Indoor coverage is a huge problem. In the middle, you have an intermediate frequency spectrum, such as the 2.5Ghz radio wave currently used in 5G by Sprint, which does not have the amazing speed that millimeter waves can provide, but has a more reliable coverage, similar to LTE.

Everything is based on the low-frequency spectrum, which is part of T-Mobile 's recent equation. With the huge spectrum of 600MHz, T-Mobile has covered a large number of large cities and suburbs, but there is no signal gap you encounter on the Verizon 5G.

Weigh it? The speed is obviously slower, and some people think that this is not the next generation leap of LTE. T-Mobile does not hide this fact, claiming that customers who buy one plus 7T Pro 5G McLaren or Galaxy Note 10 Plus 5G can expect download speeds (on average) to be 20 per cent faster than typical LTE performance.

Based on my experience testing the McLaren plus 7T Pro 5G in New York, download rates on the T-Mobile 600MHz 5G network range from 70Mbps to 200Mbps. More than 200 devices are rare because I log in more often than 100Mbps at most. These speed tests are unlikely to be as eye-opening as millimeter waves. If you have a relatively new flagship smartphone, it's probably up to some of the numbers LTE has today. Occasionally.

Usually, in practical use, we can not get amazing data speed. The advantage of low-band 5G is that faster and more reliable coverage can be seen in areas where coverage was not good in the past. In a coffee shop in Brooklyn, one plus has reached a speed of about 40Mbps, which is obviously not impressive. But my Verizon iPhone 11 Pro Max can hardly surpass 7Mbps in the same place. In other places, I often see more than 120Mbps. Again, this is\ _ () _ /. However, it is a good choice to know that the highest data speed is available almost anywhere. I just don't think the next generation.

Despite its wide coverage, T-Mobile acknowledges that 5G is still an early adopter. Alas, Aijia even wrote "5G is still developing" on the 5G McLaren version of the orange box. These companies are trying to advertise 5G while lowering their expectations these days. I don't envy walking a tightrope. I'm not radical about the speed of one plus, and there's no difference between the way I use my phone and when I don't use 5G. PCMag's Sascha Segan describes T-Mobile 's 600MHz 5G as "4.9G", which seems reasonable. Like other operators, current uploads are still limited to LTE-T-Mobile and will not limit the use of 5G data.

Whether you are an early adopter, there is no point in buying now. T-Mobile 's new 5G phone has not yet reached the ultimate 5G experience offered by T-Mobile. One plus Note 10 Plus 5G does not support T-Mobile 's millimeter wave network, so you will never download the whole movie from Netflix or Prime Video in seconds. The $900m version of McLaren is easier to use than the $1300 Note 105G version, but for me, both devices are clumsy stepping stones. They will not support 5G on other networks, so it will be very laborious to change operators.

T-MOBILE overlay requires work.

For months, T-Mobile executives attacked Verizon mercilessly because it didn't make any actual 5G coverage maps in the pockets of cities that could provide services. It finally happened last month. But T-Mobile should also be criticized. The 600MHz 5G overlay provided by the operator does not allow you to zoom in on the street. In fact, you can only guess whether your exact location is appropriate.

"with our interactive coverage, customers can zoom in to see if their neighbors have 5G coverage," a spokesman for T-Mobile told The Verge. "because 5G provides extensive coverage at 600G MHz, it can be used throughout communities, towns and towns. It's not limited to a few blocks such as millimeter waves."

How about T-MOBILE 's faster millimeter wave 5G?

T-Mobile has launched mmWave in some cities, but it doesn't seem to focus on this part of 5G yet. I tested it on a hot day in July, but it wasn't a good experience. Therefore, at present, the Galaxy S105G can only be ordered by phone or designated stores. This is already a strange and forgotten stepson. "next year, we expect to launch at least 15 new 5G devices at all prices that will be able to take advantage of multiple bands," a spokesman told The Verge via email. There's nothing more direct than that. In the real 5.

G mobile phone came, 2020, rumored to use iPhone is one of them.

It is worth mentioning that the 5G million Plath phone is compatible with Sprint's 2.5GHz 5G network, so if the merger of the two operators is completed, it will at least slightly adapt to the future. In this respect, it should eventually provide the same speed as my Sprint network in Dallas-peak in the range of 300Mbps to 500Mbps. By then, yes, you have entered a new stage of cell connection.

Sprint's mid-band spectrum is an important factor in T-Mobile 5G planning, and the two companies have won legal victories there.

In addition, the OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren is a very good phone. It is built on 7 Pro, has more RAM, faster processor and custom design printing on the back, and gives off a beautiful orange color around the phone. It also comes with a good watch case that perfectly combines Alcantara with carbon fiber aesthetics.

I hate curved screens, so during the day, I will choose a lower-level 7T. However, with Snapdragon 855 + and 12GB's RAM,7T Pro, I can definitely fly away and shatter all the missions I perform. However, the excellent non-5G 7T can also be said to be the same, and the T-Mobile sells for $599.99.

So you have to ask yourself. Why are you in a hurry? At present, ensuring 5G security is a self-driven competition with operators, but as these networks continue to expand, consumers can still choose 5G. By next year, we should start to see phones that can eat every part of the T-Mobile cake all the time-at least more than one. There will be more cohesion.

As a benchmark, you will be able to count on a speed that matches the best speed LTE can do so far. A faster daily pace would be gratifying progress. But for now, that's all T-Mobile gives you. Even if millimeter wave coverage is still limited next year, it will still be a hot spot for subways, an arena (today's LTE still exceeds its capacity limit) and a good resource for airports. When 5G can dispel the fear that I forgot to download a movie before a long flight, then I have every reason to upgrade.
