3 main myths about mobile communications

Myth 1. The operating system does not affect the quality of communication

No. For example, testing showedthat the speed in some systems is on average 30% higher than in others. Wireless modems for famous smartphone brands produces Qualcomm, but they are not installed at the same time. In some models, the latest hardware comes later. Now you hardly feel the difference. All popular operating systems are suitable for downloading videos in an online cinema or making video calls. The gap in speeds can become noticeable with the introduction of faster wireless technologies that will allow you to actively explore new programs - for example, virtual reality.

Myth 2. The connection level is the same on old and new phones

Technology is constantly evolving, and this is reflected in the ability of gadgets to receive a signal. Modern smartphones are equipped with new radio modules that adapt the device to the networks of operators. The differences between the old and new phone may not be as noticeable in an area with good coverage. But with a high network load, for example, in a traffic jam or a crowded football stadium, and in places of uncertain reception, they can appear. In addition, most modern smartphones support 4G, not 3G, so operators can adjust the network for such gadgets.

Myth 3. To improve the signal, just raise the gadget

The mobile signal depends on many factors, so a raised hand will not help. Especially if you do this on a crowded subway. Usually the signal distributed by evenly around a person, and a difference of a couple of tens of centimeters does not solve anything.

What really affects signal reception is the presence or absence of obstacles. Cellular phone frequencies pass well through open space, but trees, concrete, and other obstructions can interfere with them. Try walking a few meters or, if you are indoors, open a window.
