[Q]What consumes more battery power : Wifi or Mobile network internet connection

[Laynee1]

Hi there..

At home, i got my wireless network.
But also, i got unlimited Mobile Network internet with my MObile Provider..

So, my question is: What consumes more power?
Wifi or mobile network internet ? (considering that mobile network is WCDMA (H) )

Thanks in advance

2G < 3G < WiFi

Isn't right?

your mobile data consumes more when it's actually working. it consumes less when the phone is in standby.

Wifi is a killer, when used.

3G uses more power when in use.

Wifi uses less when in use.

Leaving wifi on and idle uses more than your data on at idle.

Think about it. Wifi only works up to a few hundred metres and 3g works up to about 30 miles!

In my experience. Wifi and leaving it on always uses less power. I avoid 3g whenever possible.
