Hi there, firstly thanks for the great forum. Feel like I’ve learnt so much so quickly, but still a long way to go…
…so, to try to take a shortcut, which phone that can be picked up for ~£150 would you recommend to use for tethering / mobile hotspot to my laptop?
Would only be used for this function, and mainly on the West Coast Main Line Avanti train. I saw this article https://www.railtechnologymagazine.com/articles/avanti-west-coast-main-line-wi-fi so I’m good with 4g only but I guess if a 5g capable unit is within budget that wouldn’t be a bad thing.
Currently I use a work issued iPhone 11 Pro Max with an O2 sim which performs so badly I’m willing to chuck some of my own dough trying something else, which given the above I will put an EE sim into.
Was fairly set on a Huawei P30 Pro, which I think has 4x4 MIMO antennas which I naively think will help with the signal, but I just read here about the Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite 5G that seems a better pick for less £. Any advice towards this, or recommendations of other units I should go for?
Many thanks in advance, for all your help and insight - much appreciated!
