That's sad for Apple, then. A poor decision on their part.

Examples of Android phones that often support mmWave 5G:

Samsung: Many Galaxy S and Z series models, including recent releases.

Google: Pixel phones, especially the Pro models.

OnePlus: Various 5G phones, including the 10 Pro, 10T, and Nord series.

(etc)

Apple should get their shit together.



It never worked unless you were walking on the street. Expensive too, I heard $20 per antenna. Millimeter is good for fixed antenna and delivering internet last mile to homes. Verizon bought into it millimeter while TMobile focused on mid bands, why T-Mobile is faster on average than Verizon. People use their phones indoors.


Absolutely correct on all the above.

T-Mobile is also using mmwave and retaining it in urban cores, but returning a lot of the spectrum.

There's a LOT of spectrum work being done at the FCC right now... Or was...


> OnePlus: Various 5G phones, including the 10 Pro, 10T, and Nord series.

The 9 pro was the last model they sold with mmwave. The entire 10 and 11 series don't have it. The Nord never did.

> Apple should get their shit together.

They ship mmwave on everything but their budget models?


Those Samsungs lack mmWave antennas in Europe. Not sure about Apple.
