Let Any Phone Use 5G, Huawei 5G Mobile WiFi Review

Can't I experience 5G network without buying a 5G phone? This problem could not be achieved two months ago, but now HUAWEI has provided a more appropriate transition solution - HUAWEI 5G Mobile WiFi. 5G Mobile WiFi is the Mobile WiFi supporting 5G network, which means that any 4G mobile phone can experience the 5G network with it.

Unbox: the outer packaging is similar to the packaging of a mobile phone, exactly like the Mate 30 RS Porsche design
HUAWEI 5G Mobile WiFi is divided into a standard version and a Pro version. Compared with the standard version, the Pro version has an additional power bank function that supports HUAWEI super-fast charging (and supports wireless 15w wireless fast charging).

The packaging of HUAWEI 5G Mobile WiFi is exactly like the packaging of HUAWEI mobile phones. It is also made of a hard cardboard case and has a pure white design. The front has a schematic diagram of the product, and the top has the product name and corresponding features. The back is relatively simple, which is a detailed description of the three features at the top of the front to help users quickly understand the product. There is a label affixed at the bottom of the package. The IMEI, S / N and other serial codes of the product are included，So please keep the box or label for after-sales and maintenance. In addition to the main body of the package, there is a 1m Type-C data cable, which can be used as a replacement for mobile phone data cables.

HUAWEI 5G Mobile WiFi uses a rectangular design with a size of 148 * 72 * 12mm and a weight of only 180g (made of polycarbonate). Its physical size is smaller than mainstream mobile phones in the market (for example, the iPhone11 measurement is 150.9mm * 75.7mm * 8.3mm).

The front shape is very recognizable, exactly like the HUAWEI Mate 30 RS Porsche design, with a black "waist line" inlaid in the center of the white body. There is a conspicuous 5G signal logo in the middle of the waistline, and "HUAWEI" at the bottom. Also there is a 1.45 inch LCD screen at the top of the waistline, which is mainly used to display device operating conditions and related settings. It is worth to mention that the network signal strength with a pointer code table style, which shows the 5G speed sense from the side.

The back of HUAWEI 5G Mobile WiFi is a pure white design, which also has the white "HUAWEI" lettering. All the keys are located on the right side of the body. From the top to the bottom are the power switch, function keys, and sim card slot. The card insertion mode is TF card slot mode, which can be directly inserted and removed without card pins. The bottom of the body is a Type-C interface, and the top is some product parameters. For example, the specific model is E6878-870, which supports 9V / 2A fast charging.

Hardware configuration: built-in Barron 5000

HUAWEI 5G Mobile WiFi is equipped with the world's 1st 7nm 5G multi-mode chipset, the Balong 5000, HUAWEI 5G Mobile WiFi Pro supports both NSA and SA networking modes, and mainstream 5G frequency bands, providing download speeds of up to 1.65 Gbps.It also supports 5G / 4G frequency bands in 150+ countries and regions around the world.

HUAWEI 5G Mobile WiFi also has built-in Lingxiao dual-band Wi-Fi chip. In addition to providing WiFi networking, it also supports Type-C wired networking. After connecting to the computer, the networking driver will automatically pop up, and double-click to complete the connection.

In terms of battery life, HUAWEI 5G Mobile WiFi has a built-in 4000mAh battery, which supports 9V / 2A 18w fast charging. It also can be charged by connecting the phone through a C-C data cable.

Three control modes: Button + Web + APP
By controlling the LCD screen and keys (power and function keys) can perform basic control of HUAWEI 5G Mobile WiFi. The first screen is the signal strength with the pointer code table design, which you can understand the operator, WiFi signal frequency band, power, network speed and used flow.

The second setting is the WLAN QR code, which supports mobile phone to scan the code directly. The third setting is the WLAN setting, which is mainly to view the WLAN information, set the WLAN frequency band (2.4G and 5G) and WPS; the fourth setting is the device Information; the fifth setting can restore factory settings and data roaming.

After the mobile phone is connected to the HUAWEI 5G Mobile WiFi signal, the corresponding device can be bound and set in more detail. At the same time, the user also can check basic data such as power, network speed, and used traffic, view the number of currently connected terminals, and evaluate signals (carrier signals), set mobile game acceleration and one-click physical examination.

There is a WLAN extension function in more settings. When enabled (default off), the user can use HUAWEI 5G Mobile WiFi as a relay device, which can provide a network by connecting to third-party WiFi signals.

Speed measuring mobile phone: OPPO Reno 10x zoom version built-in (4G Telecom mobile phone card)
HUAWEI 5G Mobile WiFimobile phone card: Telecom 4G card (5G pack is not available), and the test location was coverage with 5G signal

Tested the download speed and delay of the OPPO Reno 10x zoom version with the 4G telecom card , and the download speed and delay when connected to HUAWEI 5G Mobile WiFi 2.4G signal and 5G signal.From the test results, we can see that the speed of HUAWEI 5G Mobile WiFi has exceeded the 4G signal of the phone itself. The download speed when connecting to a 2.4G WiFi signal is about 1.99 times that of the mobile phone's own 4G signal, and the download speed when connecting to a 5G WiFi signal is about 6.22 times that of the mobile phone's own 4G signal; the upload rate is almost the same; all three perform well in terms of network latency, but the delay is lower after connecting HUAWEI 5G Mobile WiFi.

HUAWEI 5G Mobile WiFi also has an "AI high-speed rail mode". Its working principle is to use HUAWEI's 2012 laboratory communication algorithm to intelligently predict and switch better base station signals along the high-speed rail in advance, so that the equipment's Internet signal is more stable.We have already experienced the "Mobile Game Acceleration" mode, and HUAWEI has once again transplanted it to HUAWEI 5G Mobile WiFi. The principle is that the router will first identify the game service, and then use WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia Wi-Fi multimedia standard) priority scheduling, while using ATF (Airtime fairness service fair time scheduling) to ensure that game service data packets can be immediately forward to user's phone.

More Usage Scenarios
HUAWEI 5G Mobile WiFi is not only suitable for a wide range of mobile office scenarios, but also meets the needs for temporary network connections during vacation and outdoor activities.

There is no doubt that HUAWEI has made a good start with 5G, and it also provides us with the best products for 5G applications at this stage, because HUAWEI 5G Mobile WiFi is like adding a 5G external baseband to all connected devices, allowing the existing equipment can be upgraded to 5G network equipment through this plug-in baseband, which greatly reduces our current replacement cost (the replacement here is not just mobile phones, but also tablets, notebooks and other equipment).

The biggest advantage of 5G at this stage is its fast speed, while other scenarios are still being explored. The advent of HUAWEI 5G Mobile WiFi just meets our current demand for fast 5G networks.
