Which is why you toss in an 802.11ax AP (or 802.11ac, if the ax units
are prohibitively expensive for your house/office/whatever), and leave
it up to the client device to negotiate for the best common option.
And, when you want to pass a gigabit of data to the phone each second,
how does that AP help the phone GET the data when the pipe TO THE HANDSET
is considerably narrower?!
But, you don't see phones advertised for their WiFi capabilities.Etc. But, I don't want to FORCE you to buy capabilities that you
don't ALREADY HAVE -- hence the question as to the prevalence of
a particular "minimum" WiFi standard in current phones.I WANT TO KNOW WHAT SET OF WiFi CAPABILITIES I CAN EXPECT FROMIt varies depending on who is using them. There are a lot of people glued to their less than year old super phone 24/7 who have the latest of everything and OLED screens. Then there are the people (typically parents or grandparents of the above) who have the hand me down phones.
PHONES CURRENTLY IN USE. What's so vague about that?
And a bunch of Luddites still on completely dumb phones for their extended battery life or other elderly friendly features like large buttons. I reckonSWMBO carries a dumb "flip style" phone as it is *tiny* in folded form.
there are still a fair proportion of totally dumb phones in the older generation and a bunch of people in the UK who are going to be very surprised when the 3G signals are finally switched off.I *think* they are off, here. I had a 3G "Virgin" phone that I used to carry
I have a feeling that 2.5G will outlive 3G since some remote areas have nothing else. 5G is now common in cities and 4G elsewhere.But, those 5yo phones will be headed for the tip, soon. I'd, instead,
Find every phone currently in use. Determine its WiFi capabilitiesYou could probably make a fairly safe assumption that any phone in regular use for more than 5 years will be on its last legs now (and/or slowed down from as new performance by battery saver tricks).
based on its published specifications. Tabulate these results.
Identify any patterns observed.
Just look back to see what network capabilities were most common in popular models 5 years ago. Secondhand smart phones from a few years back sell for quite low prices these days unless they are iToys.
I dislike the touchscreens as holding them too close to your face (whileI could similarly ask for the nominal WEIGHT of phones currently inThe annoying thing for me is that with each new generation the mobile phone gets larger which is good from the point of view of the handset being more nearly compatible with the distance form ear to mouth but bad from the point of view of it falling out of a shirt pocket!
use. Or, size. Or, color. Or, ... The approach would be the same.
Would it MATTER how I was using this information? Or, why? Would
the data CHANGE??
All of my smart phones eventually end up with chips in their upper top edge of the supposedly "unbreakable" Gorilla glass...
