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 Nubia Red Magic 5G'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.

My phone on AT&T doesn't connect to any 5G signal, and disconnects from all mobile data as if it have turned airplane mode on about every 10-20 seconds. I am constantly getting "You are offline" and "Back online" massages while just using Chrome.

Not sure if it's software or defective hardware.

I connected to metro for a bit it was pretty bad so then I switched to Tmobile. I thought since TMobile customers get priorization on their network it would be better, but not that good either. Definitely better than metro and there are actually some places I get really good download and upload speeds. But I've had people tell me also who use iPhones and Samsung phones that TMobile isn't that great either so maybe it's just the area I live in. I'm thinking of trying Verizon soon I've heard they got better coverage in my area, but that their 5g is extremely difficult to find. Don't know if it's much of a problem though considering the state of 5g right now lol

I got the Red Magic 5g a few days ago. I noticed the the signal bars does not change stays full bars all the time but it switches from 4g to 3g. I also noticed when I set a hotspot up it won't let me do 5gz and only lets me do 2.4gz. Found a few other issues not relating to this topic too.

You should look into the connection set up of your provider cuss the red magic 5g comes ready for SA + NSA
dual mode.

5G Service with Tmobile.

I've had the phone for a week now, here in South Florida with Tmobile. Was surprised how well it works and picking up 5G service everywhere.
I do have the Chinese version NX659J 16/256gb.

Platforms for measuring cellular networks from mobile phones are very popular. Unfortunately, they all suffer from a simplistic approach and measurement errors, and questions how to interpret these measurements. One such error source is that it is easy to measure the signal strength but hard to draw exact conclusions from it. Our work focuses on understanding the measured signal strength and analyzing it's relationship to enduser service quality. To study interesting causalities, such as the above, between different parameters we developed a measurement platform called Netradar for gathering information from mobile devices. We show the correlation between signal strength and TCP goodput in graphs and geographical maps, and the behavior depending on time of the day. We also discuss grouping of measurements to enable estimating the quality of connectivity in an area.
