Cellular strength and throughput

[XDA_RealLifeReview]

We know how much you like to stream, ahem, "videos", and so cellular data is mega-important. Rate this thread to express how you think the Huawei Mate 10's LTE performs. A higher rating indicates that it's fantastic: throughput is excellent and signal strength is top-notch.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add.

Can anyone with the smartphone tell how is it?

This is very important for me, since I usually go to areas with low coverage.

My actual smartphone, a LG V20, is not very good in this.

I have only had mine on Cellular today, but tested data rate on speedtest app at work. A good signal (4G+, where my OPO 3 only got 4G) and 66 Mb/s down and 55 Mb/s, up which is better than my 4G internet modem at home. So good data connection with good signal!

When I get to try it in more rural areas, I'll return and report the experience. I have a feeling that it will perform at least decent.

If by dual 4G you mean carrier aggregation then the answer is yes it does as it has one of the most advanced modems in the market CAT18.

It's mean I can use this phone with 2 SIM and all running 4G. Other phone just one can run 4G, other must 2G.?

Good to hear, are you getting VoLTE as well on TMobile?

Dual 4G And dual VoLTE is supported.

Anyone know of there is a hidden menu to see the carrier configuration? I wanna see to what bands my phone is connected and what's the configuration, T-Mobile has starting rolling 4CA in the Netherlands.


This is on 3CA

I'm wondering what this setting does exactly?
the menu has no explanation...

No, no phone can do that, have both SIM cards with dedicated radio modules, only one SIM card/operator can be used for mobile data at any one time. it can be register on GSM for both SIM cards, with different and same operator.

 

[wizard6601]

not bad

Mate 10

Made a test with line of sight to the 4G Antenna (about 60 meters) and got a pretty good result. I don't think the Mate 10 (ALP-29) is crippled when it comes to LTE

LTE works but sometimes I must on 800MHz BTS about 1-5 minutes to switch from edge to 4G. Any firmware this not solved. I have 142 FW EU.

Even that post is 1 year old, we need to clarify one thing:
- on Mate 10 Pro both SIMs can run on 4G (or 4G+) !!! In the same time.
Most of the dual sim phones are running with one SIM in 4G and the second SIM running in 3G or 2G.
But here both SIMs ca run in 4G/4G+ simultaneous; the phone is 4G dual stand-by, probably are you thinking at the dual sim dual active phones (like Huawei P9, for example), where you can call from the SIM1 to the SIM2 (both SIMs into the same phone).

And if we are talking about 9.0 vs 9.1, on 9.1 the signal is weaker than on 9.0 (in the same place, where the building has very thick walls, and where the signal fluctuates sometimes).
In areas with good signal there are no problems on 9.1 either
