26 September 2021

Sort by:

5g is still in its beta version because only like 10% of the world has 5g and the rest doesn't have

    notafanboy, 26 Sep 20212 years later and 5G is still a gimmick. Sad.It isn't a gimmick. But it needs time to improve.

      Ah, the LG V50...if Sprint wasn't going to charge for a 5G that wasn't in my city yet, I would have gotten the phone. So much hardware and lacking nothing other than IR blaster (coming from the V20). I heard it's still a solid work horse for some.

        2 years later and 5G is still a gimmick. Sad.

              GAMIRSFM, 26 Sep 2021Vanguard? Game isn't even out yet. The only thing was... morecod vanguard is already 75gb on xbox

                The last great Samsung! Headphone jack, dual speakers, big battery, improved charging speed from the regular S10 models, beautiful display and high quality cameras. Afternoon that Samsung started to decline for me.

                      "The phone itself was huge – with a 6.7” 1440p Dynamic AMOLED display it was sort of the Ultra phone of the family, before Samsung introduced that label"

                      such label was already present on Sony Xperias - Z Ultra and some other under T and C series... but not sure if some other brands "introduced" it before z ultra...

                        But in fact, all three first 5G phone doesn't support many band, and 2 of them is from Korea, Samsung only support n78, and LG V50 only support 1/2 band (different model bring different 5g band support)

                              remember when 5g memes were a thing, saying that it causes some cancer

                              i dont think it will cause cancer, cause 5g isnt too strong to get on people's systems.

                              also 5g isnt a gimmick, 5g is really fast, and i swear you can literally download call of duty vanguard on your phone in 5 seconds with that

                                5G alpha Test

                                  4.5g

                                    3 of 3
