What's right for you? 5G or Nah. 🤔

@unefosa 23 күн бұрын

Nah

@SK1Pintheflesh 22 күн бұрын

I'd love to use 5G, but it uses millimetre waves unlike 4G and these millimetre waves are so small that its almost impossible for it to pass through solid objects. I don't know about you, but I'm not always going to be standing outside holding up my phone up to be able to use my SIM carrier network.

@padichlevi 18 күн бұрын

If I would be living in an area that has 5G coverage, I would definitely want to change for a smartphone which supports 5G. However this is not the case, so I don't need a 5G phone.

@oshobitamilore3392 23 күн бұрын

Instead of a 5g smartphone just get a 5g router such as starlink or MTN so as not to burden your phone with the heavy tasks of 5g as it really heats up devices such as mine as 5g is not yet stable and might take a few years before we get there

@Bang4bok 23 күн бұрын

I actually observed 5g drains more battery and heats up my device faster, kinda exact opposite of your claims though. Nice review

@oscarmini 22 күн бұрын

Yes, 5G is more efficient, and there a couple reasons why you get your 5G device heat up. One would be the frequent switching between 4G and 5G and trying to maintain a 5G connection where there isn't great 5G coverage, and another is that 5G supports much higher data speeds and throughput, requiring more intensive processing per time, and more processing as you know, would definitely result in warmer devices. This doesn't contradict my claim. It's just other factors. Thanks for watching man.

It makes phones heat up. WiFi is the best, phone doesn't heat up and throttle less@@oscarmini

I have the same observation. I use an iphone 12 mini as my main device and a first gen SE as my backup. I usually go out and leave the data turned on and I can feel the mini heats up inside my pocket that I turn it off or change the settings to LTE only.

hi @Oscarmini, exellent video! it was very informative and interesting. I just saw your video on samsung a55 vs a54. until now i used samsung a12 but it got wet and is not working anymore - so i am debating between the a55 and the a54. both are an upgrade, but can I ask what are your thoughts on this? which phone do you think is better and which one do you think i should get? both are between my budget but there is still a diffrences (~15-45 dollars diffrence)

@asororichard2044 23 күн бұрын

Oscarmini you really educated me with this video, getting 5g phone is actually my target before now because I'm seeing 4g network right now like 2g network, I really need speed signal because I download full movies everyday.

These are sensible and logical points to keep in mind. 5G is not rolled out where I live (not even 4.5G). So I will hold of from buying for the time being. Thank you for your effort and keep making content like this.

I got it turned off in my iPhone 13 PM since it drains more battery than LTE, and the 5G coverage in my country isn't good so theres no point in turning it on

@tabiriibrahim5369 22 күн бұрын

oscar, I'm not clear with one thing. can you mention one of the powerful 4g SOC (CHIPSET)? Mediatech G99 or what? to the best of my knowledge, all the powerful chipsets are 5g. most of the 4g SOCs don't have enough processing power and therefore struggles to multitask which i do a lot on my phone. I also do stream and download videos a lot but i still use 4g since 5g is virtually not in existence in my country Ghana

@oscarmini 22 күн бұрын

Hello Ibrahim, If 5G isn't a priority, you'll definitely get more value with some 4G devices. For example, the A15 4G offers better value for money and arguably better performance than its 5G version. Also, the S10 outperforms the A32 5G in both performance and camera quality for the same price. Thanks for stopping by man.

@tabiriibrahim5369 22 күн бұрын

@oscarmini yes I agree with you. Most of the old flagships outperform the current midrange phones in both rom and camera performance. I've used note 20 ultra for the past three years and I upgraded to the s23 ultra in April this year. Thank you.

Oscarmini, you are just too safe in your analysis. I don't really know who or what you are scared of. Well, I think 5G is not yet advanced in Nigeria as a whole. But, maybe in five to seven years from now, 5G will become stable. The irony is that 4G is still way faster than 5G in many areas across the country (Nigeria). Some devices tend to stretch their bandwidth (HSPA, LTE, 5G) limit in order to get the best of 5G in struggling areas, thereby overheating the device(s). If 5G is this slow in application and implementation, I wonder who 6G implementation will be like?

Thanks for stopping by. Also, I'd really love your genuine feedback so as to make better videos subsequently. What do you mean when you say, "you are just too safe in your analysis"? I'd appreciate some clarity and pointers. Thanks.

@unefosa 5G isn't slow, that is your country/area's problem, did you listen when he mentioned 3 countries where 5G is the fastest? 4G speed can't be compared to that of 5G in areas where you have real 5G speed. The 5G speed in your country is very slow and will be improved with time

@unefosa 21 күн бұрын

@@IsaacPeters_ sure, that's my point. But that progress will be 5 to 7 years time in Nigeria. Although there are few areas in Nigeria where 5G is fast but Nigeria is still crawling in 5G speed connectivity.
