Wow! Great speeds from Samsung 5G

Posted a thread about it yesterday scoobyjones1. 😊
 
Beat me to it. Also pie in the sky. We haven't auctioned mmWave spectrum yet and many are still awaiting decent 4G.

It has two languages, the second one is English
So what would be the benefit? It doesn't appear to be mmwave. You'd be better off with a cheap 5G Mediatek device which can do NR CA.
Am I missing something?

Limited in UK now and in future. My view is better to use a cheap Sub 6 5G phone.

Hopefully Samsung will stir up the MIFI space in future. But of course, people carrying around 5G MIFIs means people don't need to change phones just use WIFI.

I'm not saying it's not a step forward, it's a field trial and it may lead to cheaper options than V band for small homesteads in Queensland.

However, it was probably in ideal conditions using point to point kit with greater transmit power than normal and significantly higher than any phone/router. As always Physics wins.

The trial achieved average downlink speeds of 1.75Gbps using eight component carriers (8CC), which is an aggregation of 800MHz of mmWave spectrum.

A lot would need to be done to allow use in UK.
