I've just got a 5G phone with Vodafone. Both London and Hull are supposed to have 5G coverage. I couldn't get 5G on my phone and when I looked at the areas that Vodafone covers for 5G in London I see that the coverage is incredibly patchy. I am going to Hull this weekend so I also looked at the 5G coverage in Hull provided by Vodafone. There's absolutely no coverage!
My phone switches to 4G when 5G isn't available. I only got a new phone because the battery in my old phone wasn't lasting very long.
They do that to make you buy a new one Pete. I reckon we should all go for the old Nokias that don't need recharging every 15 minutes.
It's not going to ruin your life mate, the internet will still load nearly instantly. ****ing hell. First world problems.
That's pretty much only Apple. My battery has never degraded other than what is expected with age, which is minimal given I get a new phone every 2 years. Until about two years ago, you would see big performance jumps in battery life due to better battery technology and reduction in software consumption but they seem to have plateaued a bit for now.
I read an article about 5g a year or so back and I recall it being line-of-sight, so you had to be in reasonably close proximity and visibility of a transmitter. which it is why it is by street. I'm not even sure it works indoors, when you are close to a transmitter. Might be worth reading an article to see how it will work moving forward as it all sounded impracticle.
I read an article that said that after 400 complete charges the battery would degrade by 20%. I wasn't interested in getting a new phone after my 18 month contract expired so I was on sim only for another 18 months but I was having to use my phone practically permanently plugged in to a power bank. If I didn't it would go down to 50% quickly and then within a few seconds down to 0%! The article said that you shouldn't let your battery go down to 0% or fully charge so I'll try to charge at 20% up to 80%. My new Samsung Galaxy Note10+ 5G seems to only use about 3% battery in over an hour if I'm not using it. If I do use it it isn't much different. I spend most of my time at work in my home office so I don't use my phone much then. On Friday and Saturday I will be rushing around to various meetings in Hull so I'll be able to judge it better then.
Just had a pm from Donald Trump. He says he's going to have me killed. I replied with 'Shurrup Daft ****'
