- lcam84 6y agoI recently bought a Nokia 800 Tough to have internet at home. It is advertised as having up to 43 days on stand by but if you connect 4G with internet sharing, the battery lasts about 5 hours. I wonder what will happen with 5G.
- rand49an 6y agoI think the increased energy usage mostly comes from the increased number of base stations required to service a population.
- hieloz 6y agoNo matter 4G or 5G,your hotspot waste battery to a large degree, It advertised 43 days only to standby mode.
- lcam84 6y agoYes in fact the 43 days is in stanby but I don't use the phone for anything else, so I thought it would take more than a few hours between charges. I thought that the difference in battery time between old and new mobile phones was due to the touch screen, but now I don't know to what extent 4G contributes to that difference.
- kalleboo 6y agoDoes "internet sharing" not imply turning on WiFi as well, which usually goes to sleep during standby
- consp 6y agoIt will also serve significantly more people per cell, so a trade off has been made?
