- All of the major U.S. carriers-Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint-are launching 5G signals across the U.S. The Wall Street Journal's Joanna Stern embarked on a summer 5G testing tour only to learn that 5G is blazing fast... if you're outside, near a cell tower, with some way to keep the phone cool.

Those sidewalks are super clean for a large city
The you must see Singapore or Tokyo
it is called a pavement, mate.
Check out Madison, WI sometime.
Ikr @daniel kudo
Lechiffresix six Pavement is actually the material that’s used on sidewalks.
Does anybody remember when Cellular industry was touting 4G as the future with 1GB up and 1GB down? I think the fastest I have got wast 24mb on ATT. So I would take what cell industries with a grain of salt
Agreed, although the fastest I've ever had is 125gb but it very much depends on your location.
nopenopenope gb? i think you mean 125mb lol
@@MusicGameFinatic999 haha my mistake, yeh I had 125mb download when running a speed test on my phone
Wt guys? That’s mbps ! Right? Not MB/s?
@@rahuldogra no, kbs
In China, they are getting 1.7Gbps and that is with sub6 wave, way better range and penetration rate than US' mmWave.
But does that wave interact with any other standards in the US? Right now 5g is rumored to get in the way of GPS. I wonder if sub6 would have anything it would be interfering with
Because they have superior Huawei equipments
Hwawei technology👍👏💪
Huawei is basically Chinese listening equipment!
hacking time...
WRONG!!!! Making the network better by utilizing more spectrum is a 4G solution. 5G is fast because it already has so much spectrum to use. The only fix is putting 5G cells on every light post and traffic light in the city and bury thousands of miles of fiber optics. That will cost billions, if my bill goes up, then I’m happy with 4G. I don’t need my bill to double so big cell companies can maintain their profit margins.
When speaking about 5G I’m referring to the multi gigabit speeds that the media keeps mentioning. Correct me if I’m wrong but those capabilities are based on the ultra high frequency millimeter wave length technology. Mid band 5G will not be able to achieve those speeds and midband is what is meant when someone says more spectrum will be activated over time. Bandwidth is tied to frequency in general even if better modulation schemes are used. To me that is highly deceiving to the general public to imply 5G will reach multi gig speeds and then speak about adding more spectrum to the infrastructure already in place.
But we've got to start somewhere right? We can't just abandon 5G because it only works in certain conditions. That's what they told people about 3G and 4G. Of course it will be expensive in the beginning. Give it a decade. If stop now. Then might as well wait a century.
People walking by were probs confused and thought she was homeless but then they saw her MacBook and the s10 lol
1:09 I thought my phone's battery was low!!!
🤣🤣
Same XD
So you have an old phone lol
Finally a 5g video thats informatie and not just hype.
Also a Laser thermometer on a reflective phone isn't very accurate
always very creative/clever journalism thank you!
I'm pretty sure no carrier will give 5G unlimited but when 5G rolls out in India Jio will give 100gb data perday at just 8$[probably] for 3 months
I get around 100 megs here in Canada on LTE and that's fast enough for me really. After I reach 10GB in a month they slow my connection down on my 'UNLIMITED' data plan anyways....
yes 100 mbps is fast now but in 10 years it wont be.
@@seanjackson6305 for phone user 4g ,5g made no difference ! 5G promise a lot , let see how much it will deliver
Thank you for finally adding captions on each content.
Here in Delhi, India I get 1.8 Mbps on a 4G network.
But data prices here are cheap it costs ₹250($3.6) for 1.5 GB Data everyday for a month (45 GB) with unlimited free voice and SMS.
XD
but a lot cheaper
@@NASHITHASAN ya, I agree a lot cheaper !!
I will edit my comment
Aditya Sinha that’s 3G
Jai ho Jio ki
$3.6 dollars for 1.5gb is expensive, how do you consider that cheap?
I want to know, where can i get s10 5g that is unlocked and compatible with all 5g and have cdma as well, plus if possible duo sim
no mention of cost or throttling which I assume exist. what is the use of 1gb down if your "unlimited" is cap?
Hey! Is that Miller High Life in the cooler?
Sorry but I dont need 5g. I can wait for my files to download.
@SharkTank Do you know the difference between ionizing radiation and non ionizing radiation?
@SharkTank so.. you don't have any sources?
Fantastic public service video! Thank you WSJ! This helps consumers 100%. 😊
consume, consume, consume
I don't know why I kept skipping this video.
This was very informative thank you.
I knew 5G had coverage problems, but I didn't think if those other problems.
Your beep noise is giving me flashbacks, it is the same as the low battery tone for Samsung
Props for the creativity in presentation and editing (^_^)
Where you got the cooler from
Quick buy me some ice, I need to download something.
Laser thermometer???
900 Mbps = 112.5 MBps, and that's 18 times faster of what I get.
So that's not that coooool, still it's better.
You should tell speed in MBps btw. Mbps is their trick to fool people, cause downloads are in MB/GB not Mb/Gb
Dipesh Bhatia but speedtests are done in Mb/Gb
Get your facts right. Bandwidth or bitrate is usually measured in bits per second and NOT in bytes per second.
They aint tricking you btw.
@@h3rs8That's okay dear, but I'm taking about you downloads.
Your downloads are in Giga bytes not Giga bits. And someone could easily be tricked with 900 Mbps speed if he/she doesn't know the difference between MB and Mb
@@juliangaming9713 Yuup, it's cool that you know that, some people don't
You download things in bits, not bytes, as a download is a stream of bits.. So no, MBps is not correct, Mbps is the correct, logical term. It is not a trick to "fool" people. take off your tinfoil hat
What was that speed testing app she used?
This reminds me of the 2G to 3G and 3G to 4G transitions. I have a 5G phone now and it's been very good so far.
You're supposed o label ads. And have they figured out how to stop it from interfering with weather information?
No
To be fair, i'll go out for 10 minutes in the blazing hot sun just to download a movie or games for under a minute
This could be good solution for fibre to the home. Install a transmitter on each street and fit a small dish (10cm) on the wall outside and run a tiny thin co-ax cable though the wall and into a reciever/router inside converting mmwave to 5GHz wifi. Fibre has to be converted back to wifi anyway, currently with multiple boxes and wallworts! Could install the transmitters on existing utility poles every few hundred meters. Will never run out of capacity in mmwave.
how much is your data bill?
Sounds like in terms of cost and practicality, Sprint is ahead of the game or planning their infrastructure better/leaner.
Forget packing your cooler, you better head to the doctor & get tested for cancer spending all that time around “5G”
Great review. Thanks.
No words about the latency? Some says 5G has improved x45 from 4G latency, and that is critical for any real-time application. I wonder how well with the latency you can get.
Interested with your opinion
Yes I suppose. But still it would matter only when the 5G is actually reachable to the masses. That’s a long way to go!
Now makes sense for a 500 gig phone
Wish you have other type of phones for testing as well. Not all of us will get s10.
so to use 5g you need this tent with your phone too?
It’s the arrogant of U.S carrier that use mmWave first, just only Sprint 2.5Ghz that use Sub-6Ghz category. Look at Asia & Europe, they all use 3.5Ghz first which is more wider coverage available while maintaining at 500Mbps average which is practically great for everyone.
Wonderful reporting! And I am in love (again!)
My home internet speed is 500Mbps. I only get full speed if I connect with LAN cable. But I only get 50Mbps (2.4Ghz) and 90Mbps (5Ghz) over the wifi (not full strength signal). I don't know why I didn't get full speed even I already changed the router. Maybe my RMN 5 phone network chip cannot support more than 150Mbps
I’m still surprised my kinda-small town (50,000 people max) got AT&T Fiber back in 2015. It’s still great.
my town about the same size doesn’t have fiber sadly from AT&T, I’m stuck with xfinity cable
@@juliangaming9713 F
also I think this town got it because of all the education and colleges so it was a priority
Love that you had beer in the cooler, in 3-4 years from now you will be back to amazing 5g network.
Well, at least she totally blends in living in a tent on the side of a US street
Oof!
Ever been to US?
Your comment suggests not.
1:52 Wall Street Journal really using the Galaxy battery low sound
Isn't that the same frequency the microwave uses to cook food?
That's probably why the phone got so hot.
Worse
Can we have landline connection for 5G till the coverage problem is solved?
@5:30 “blazing fast connections” - I was hoping for a “blazing saddles” (movie pun) reference 😂
Here in South America the average internet speed is about 5mbs per second, so yeah, I'm hiped
It must be MBps I think
Cause 1MBps = 8Mbps , so I think 5MBps would mean 40Mbps which is not that bad.
But if it's really in Mbps, then omg it's not even 4g
This is useful information.
Thank you for your experiment.
Wow well that was a great detailed video about 5G,it seems like we shouldn’t rush over and buy a 5G phone for now 🥴
I would because of future proofing but it's just my opnion though so eh
Which app do you use to check the network speed?
Zian Anzam speedtest by ookla
0:59 Did someone crack the back glass on their review unit? 🤨
5G are good for 8K video streaming
Wonder what JIO India might price this for probably $10 for 2GB per day?
i reccomend when you use like 3g or 2g phones in serbia thats available everywhere except the city nis
Watching this video on my 3G at 144p
I love her videos!!
The real question is how providers are going to bill for this. A typical Sprint plan is say 10GB for $30/month. 5G could literally blow through that in a few minutes. Thus, they'll need some dramatically new pricing, which then creates an issue with 4G pricing -- even if you don't need the speeds. If 5G is several times that of 4G... no one will use it. 4G if fast enough for nearly all uses -- maps, looking up reviews, checking something online, etc. And in any case you really need 5G speeds (such as downloading a movie or something)… well... I doubt anyone is going to pay $200/month for something only available in major cities in specific locations... when there is like a WiFi location nearby for free.
4G is fast enough for maps, streaming music, watching videos. But 3G couldn’t even do that stuff. 5G will allow new technologies and services that you can’t even imagine yet because they don’t exist. So no, 4G cannot handle all uses because we haven’t even created all uses yet.
dude what about Los Angeles?
So excited for the future and faster speeds
So ture
@Misanthropic Trilobite Even normal phones overheat if you're in the sun. I had to put mine in the cooler a few days ago. South Alabama.
0:58 They tried to cover up a crack but I can still see it!
Would you do a test using an EMF meter on how much RF radiation your phone is putting out?
Their agenda is to push 5g, not tell the people how dangerous it is.
the heat radiation is wayyyyy more danger....
And here in Bangalore, 4G speeds range from 1 - 10 Mbps! Pathetic.
But I get 3 GB data EVERYDAY for 84 days for JUST ₹550 ($8)! That's crazy.
4:44 so, the phone was boiling?! 😂
what a surpise;...
Samsung. No surprise. Lol
Fahrenheit I think, which isn’t boiling
Someone on this thing must've said that the phone was about 7 degrees (Fahrenheit) hotter than Ms. Stern.
WSJ is American so for some stupid reason they use the imperial system.
You know it is good report when the reporter has to pack a tent with her.
0:59 nice way to hide that crack on the bottom right corner 😂😂
Joana is a great and funny and serious technology lady
and now the next problem is how much limited offered data are. people will want to have bigger data allocation or better unlimited data. this is expensive tho
So why do we need that much speed?
2:08 - 2.1GB can take 1 hr or more on LTE? Your LTE networks must be super congested.
I am more concern about those pings. Over 10-20 ms? I thought they were promising numbers closer to 1 ms???!!!!
Thang Ta LTE isn’t that slow for me… wow
At the start, I joked that she'd put beer in the cooler, but 4:55 revealed a facsimile-how reasonable depends on the viewer's tastes-thereof.
It will be useable in 2022
First 5g experience in tent what a creativevity
personally I assume the Sprint version of 5G is more practical for day to day uses of web browsing and entertainment...
君愷范 sprint 5G has terrible speeds compared to other 5G
But don’t worry! Soon it will be merged with T-Mobile midband 5G!
1:08 Old Samsung battery low sound!
Thanks
Long-Term Evolution. Time to revisit SNL's Verizon commercial.
Crazy speeds... but do we need to be that fast?
very intuitive
My brain Tumor got bigger when they installed a 5G tower on my apartment. I had to move out 😫 no mention of the health concerns wall st? Shares over lives hey
In Australia we have have a 4G network option or a 5G option so this is not that impressive to me (Telstra provider)
Well there are very people on the network, possibly faster speeds due to lack of congestion.
So was the tent necessary
Careful, that tent may block the 5G signal.
I keep thinking my phone is low battery. But my phone doesn't even make that sound anymore.
What am I going to do with a download speed of 1800Mb/second ? There isn't enough porn in the world
pff amateurs
Pornhub will be filled up by 8K 360º Videos and the new phone will be able to play it. you will enjoy it until presbyopia
Is this the girl who also cover the galaxy fold? Hmmm🤔 i think she learned her lesson
Lesson what?
they re all free from samsung...
That sound when she plots the map is stressing me out. I keep looking at my battery percentage.
Going to be a long wait before I buy such a phone.
The problem uplink cannot 5G because our phone not yet capable send powerfull signal as Mini BTS
I'm fine with 4g, I don't have much of an issue with it. The thing is, I live in a rural area and I get pretty good coverage. To put it in perspective, I can download Asphalt 9 in about 4 minutes
4:40 was literally because it switched to upload, like what she just said in the beginning.
My network still only has 3g on an iphone 11
In my country Nigeria I pay $1.4 for 2gb per day and get like 20mbps but my phone doesn't support its 4g so I use 3g network
that’s good 3G...
Ayyyeee where my Denver ppl at?
In india i get 3g at 2mbps and 4g with 20x speed at 3.5mbps ( real download speed). But plans are cheap like 18$ for three months unlimited data (no fup) and unlimited calling and sms. So it's not bad atleast it plays youtube videos at 1440p easily 🙂.
Our wifi at home has a download rate off 12mb/ps 😂
Hi 👋 I’m Joanna from WSJ and I’m a 5G Hobo😍😍
I’m glad I live in Chicago
So I guess it's gonna take at least 3 years to get decent 5g here in Canada.
