[THE TRUTH ABOUT T-MOBILE 5G]
For the third year running, Qualcomm flew me to Hawaii and put me up for the annual Snapdragon Summit, where for the third year running, the next generation smartphone and laptop chips were announced. Also on site: a parade of executives proclaiming (yet again) that “5G is here!”
But this year is different … because it’s actually true.
On December 6th, T-Mobile made it official, by flipping the switch on a nationwide deployment of 5G that covers 200 million people. But what does that really mean, and more importantly, should you care? I took a OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Edition for a Maui test drive on T-Mobile 5G to find out!

Not sure I'm sticking with the headline long-term, but since it's there now, some additional "truth" for you folks: - T-Mobile is *also* building out 5G in the high-band mmWave space (it already has the beginnings of such a network underway in Las Vegas and LA, among other places). - Its 600MHz deployment (which I test in this video) is built on spectrum it acquired in 2017. It's had LTE deployed there for a while, and has also had all that time to prepare for this 5G rollout, hence the "switch flip" moment. - Not all sites have been upgraded with the 5G equipment. When your phone connects to a specific T-Mo cell site using the 600MHz band, the site can indicate to the handset whether or not it's so equipped. If so, the phone switches the network indicator to "5G" to let you know that connection is available. If not, it stays put at 4GLTE. - The rollout, as with all carriers, is continuous. Expect coverage to increase, but expect speeds to remain about the same due to the limitations of low-band frequencies discussed in the video.

Why not mention how dangerous 5G can be?

[@brandon_nope]

[@gcarter1973]

@@brandon_nope 100 % it's dangerous.

[@supremomiguel9438]

​@@gcarter1973 Ok, let me just give you the full run-down because you just seem completely misinformed. First 5G, like 4G and every generation before it operates in the microwave band of the electromagnetic spectrum so at broadcasting power levels, the most dangerous it could be is in the form of heat. Second, mmWave does not penetrate solid objects so now the worst it could be is on the surface level of the skin (The sun's infrared rays don't cause cancer yet they're at a frequency of 300 Ghz - 200 Thz ). Third, if you're talking about the 600 Mhz spectrum, this was already used for century's with UHF TV so the exposure wouldn't be any realistic difference compared to now. Fourth, microwaves aren't even efficient at creating heat, this is why a 1800 watt microwave only puts out 1000 watts of microwave energy. And lastly, the studies that show damage by microwaves included: A, Incredibly long exposure time to the site. B, Situations where you'd be standing still directly next to a tower. C, the mmWave sites run at a MUCH lower power level since they're closer together. Although, none of this directly relates to cancer in any way. The worst situations that have occurred is in a school where a 4G tower was placed directly overhead which is just a completely wrong move. This situation lead to heating the brain directly, which led to tumors (Non-cancerous tumors caused by heat and not DNA damage, however naturally tumors can mutate and become cancerous on their own.) And this can only happen with lower frequencies that have actual penetration like the 2.4Ghz-3.4Ghz bands. mmWave is not able to penetrate the skull. But that's it, it's just heat and it works the same way any other band does like the Sun, quartz heaters, and many other types of heat that is radiated, only possible difference is that infrared has to short of a wavelength to penetrate the skull, which the longer waves of infrared are actually completely capable of, and our bodies radiate this type of heat 24/7 naturally. So all in all, yes under absolutely ridiculous circumstances it's "Possible" for microwaves to be dangerous but don't forget that your microwave oven operates at a far higher power level and that isn't even capable of genetic damage at the frequency of 2.45 Ghz. Hopefully, this clears up anything you were misinformed on, have a good one.

It's a radio system called 5G NR, which supports very wide channels and has a rich roadmap for future improvement.

I'd be shocked to see Verizon 5G showing up within 5 years here, since current 5G tech requires all those repeaters above streets to keep the signal going. Fine in urban areas mostly, utterly impractical in rural areas. Also, so much of this 5G tech currently on the market won't make it to halfway before newer protocols/infrastructure are in place, hence my trepidation to buy that 5G Moto Mod.

The way they done it is by combining is combining T-Mobile and Sprint.

[@warhead811]

This is really blowing my shit like yes TMobile has more coverage but as stated in the video 5g phones generally cost hundreds more than their 4g counter parts but they haven't solved anything this changes nothing They merge get Sprint's towers now they advantage of coverage not speed yes it's a new standard and eventually speed will increase but I could say the same about Verizon's service Eventually 5g coverage will improve- Verizon This pushes the problem for later not solves it basically TMobile announced that they going overall boost their 4g and then eventually increase it as time goes on

[@PGHammer21A]

War Head - True; which is why I'm not rushing into 5G. It's where 4G was when it was first deployed. (Both AT&T and Verizon are cannibalizing 3G to deploy 5G - which T-Mobile had already done. There is an article on Android Authority that explains this.)

You should be more afraid of the sun because it produces every wavelength on the electromagnetic spectrum (granted anything that is UV gets through the atmosphere) and guess what!? You are surrounded by UV rays which is way worse on so many levels which IS a type of ionizing radiation! If you're so scared of photons why don't you just hide in some sort of lead box with your stupid looking tinfoil hat!? Oh wait! You emit photons too believe it or not and good luck getting all of that lead! Do your research pal.

The low band is cool for coverage even in villages far away, but they could have stick with LTE... Better release some 5G cells at 3,5 GHz, for better speeds and average coverage.

TMobile's 4G rollout was similar. I was among the first of my friends in my small Missouri town to have 4G, but most of my friends' 3G was only slightly slower. Over time the 4G got good though. I'm hopeful 5G goes the same way.

The only way tmobile should be able to merge is if they give up spectrum and that includes mid band and low band, but mostly band 41. It would make little sense to let them merge and allow them to have multiple times the amount of spectrum that the other two have. That's one way to create less competition. If they do not give up any spectrum they should be allowed 0 spectrum in future auctions.

For me I switched to T-Mobile for the future of what it can be capable of . So hopefully it was the smart move. At this point... this reminds me of what LTE was like when first deployed. Great video tho! And thank you!

[@PGHammer21A]

Brian Clemons - I switched to T-Mobile's network (I'm a Tracfone customer - which supports both carrier networks, and provides US $1.00 network switching that you can do yourself) because I was changing phones (from the Galaxy Nexus to the S7); said S7 was an ex-Verizon phone that was network-locked (which meant that taking it to Verizon was a non-starter). The S7's SoC was a generic SoC from Qualcomm (one of the first such) and only needed new firmware (ODIN to the rescue). Once I got the replacement SIM from doing the network-swap, that and a firmware download via ODIN and I was off to the races. I'm not new to T-Mobile's network, as Tracfone is not the only MVNO that uses, or has used, their network - remember Virgin Mobile (now part of Metro - T-Mobile's in-house prepaid arm)? I pounded Virgin Mobile rather viciously - mostly due to their phone choice; all the S7 swap did was make said pounding make even MORE sense - I went from swearing AT T-Mobile's network to swearing BY it (I recommend T-Mobile's network today - and especially if you are on an MVNO that can leverage it), and it has exactly squat to do with 5G. (Other MVNOs that do - or can - leverage T-Mobile's network include Wal-Mart Mobile and Consumer Cellular.)

Ivo Ovcharov Exactly my home Internet is 100 mbps which is already really fast. My phone gets about 50 mbps which is still good. My phone has a 720p screen so I’m not streaming 4K, I don’t get the need for 1000mbps bandwidth on a phone. They’ll put up a data cap anyway

Employee at T-Mobile here.... I’m so sorry that you support T-Mobile. You should really dig deeper into who they are and exactly what they represent.

Luckily, I didn’t lose a Sale....

[@scenicdepictionsofchicagolife]

On T-Mobile LTE in Chicago I consistently get 20-25mbps down and 8-10mpbs up. Considering 600mhz provided consistently 55ish mbps down and 20-25ish mbps up ... I'd say that's a near double speed improvement and I'll gladly take that as 5G... Especially if I don't have to pay more and with Co-technologies like massive MIMO nodes being put in and a general push better infrastructure to support these speeds. Like yeah no, it's not 1gpbs... But nobody needs that right now. If you need that kind of signal speed, then you aren't an average customer and probably should be looking into something entirely different than a mobile home plan. Or get gigabit wifi at home which is available literally everywhere.
