My experience of 5G on the Galaxy S10 5G was
more varied than I found on EE’s network using the
OnePlus 7 Pro. I went to Pentonville Road between
King’s Cross and Angel in London where the coverage
checker said I’d find 5G. I did indeed, but found that
an iPhone 8 on Vodafone’s 4G network got a whole
100Mb/s better connection than the S10 on a 5G
connection – see the image above.
EE’s 5G connection was always faster than a 4G
connection when compared, whereas Vodafone’s
was inconsistent. It was slower when on 5G (above)
compared to a phone on a 4G plan, but then faster
than that same 4G phone when on a 4G connection
itself (overleaf).Note the 5G symbol in the
status bar of the S10 (left)ISSUE 65 • ANDROID ADVISOR 7REVIEWhas anywhere near blanket coverage. You can check
