“Budget” phones for $600? What a world we live in….

[TheWolfHowling]

Personally, I’d happily sacrifice FR2/High band/MMWave 5G for a lower price. The reason why I’m looking at a 5G phone, specifically the OnePlus Nord N10, is for that improved low band coverage on T-Mo’s 600MHz networks, both LTE & 5G. IMO, Sub6 5G is the type that is going to change and improved everyday people’s life even if it may not be significant, if at all, faster than LTE-A. MMWave may be super fast with multi gigabit speeds but, unless you live or work next to a 5G site, you’ll unlikely to see much benefit. That’s why all the advertisements are all down how quickly you can download podcasts, playlists, TV season, apps or other large files, because you’ll quickly lose that high band connection and fall back to low or mid band 4/5G networks

You didn't mention the Visible Blade X1 5G. (I know it's basically a 4G phone, but still)

Oneplus 8 which costs more than $500 is a budget phone ?

This is a good to the point review. I can't stand when the videos are drawn out. Big thumbs up!

Didn’t need a new 5G phone since I bought a new SE 2 a couple months ago not falling for the 5G hype but T mob made me an offer I couldn’t refuse. A half price mini 12 with a trade in of my 3GS. and 24 interest free payments. Just locked in to T mob for 24 months.

I bought an Galaxy S21 Ultra back in February. 5G only works for the most part outside with Spectrum Mobile here in NYC. I don't really mind it though. I'm almost always on WiFi. When I'm outside of the city I'm usually on LTE. Guess what? LTE is just fine for me and for now.

Where’s the budget phones as in title.

[radioflowers]

one reason to get a 5g phone if not for speed, at least on t-mobile you get way better service coverage

The T-Mobile Revvl 5G is an amazing device

[hinchey]

Thanks Sherri, well done. I'll take the IPhone 12 mini Please.

Biggest thing that suffers is call quality and volume from all manufactures. Everyone gets sold on their stupid cameras which is a joke Analog was better than digital service you could at least hear call without being clipped with digital service.

My mindset is not ready for 5G. I can do without it and would most likely turn it off the chance I get. I have my current phone set to the slowest speed on it and don't have any issues. When I do a speed test the slower speed setting on my phone has the higher download and upload speeds.🤷🏼‍♂️

What I like to know is something I was unlucky finding out at the moment. How fast can they upload a video to YouTube?
One of the biggest innovations people talked about was how long it took to upload, especially if it was beyond 10 minutes. It was amazing to find out that it was within seconds to only a few minutes of video. So is this true with at least midband 5g phones or only highband 5g phones?

[BaconBePropane]

Just curious, but does all the iPhone 12 models have all 3 bands of 5G as well as CDMA for Verizon? I’m still waiting for the new models to come out in September-October.

[ILoveGrilledCheese]

For reference, low band 5G on TMobile in real world usage is about 100 Mbps

[killertigergaming]

At first i just thought it said best budget phones which to get and which to avoid but now that i noticed 5g i now know what phones to avoid altogether

[jordanoful]

apple 12 mini lack on battery life when connected to 5g networks

[easywindalan]

Could someone please help me out? I am 80 and have a flip phone which I have had for 3 years and have trouble using. ATandT says I must get a 5G phone to work on their system. The only thing I do make and receive phone calls. I have looked at a few different phones and the speakers in the 5G phones are horrible. I watched the video and read most of the board nd it is all greek to me. Can someone recommend a phone with a good speaker that's easy to use. I don't text or email and the only system I have a clue about is google Thanks

What about the samsung galaxy 20 FE? What kind of bands does it havw?
