Antenna performance affected by hand hold

[menelfloss]

I saw this little video which demonstrates apparent antenna performance based on right or left hand hold. Interesting...

Galaxy Nexus LTE Possible Radio Defect - YouTube

I tried the test twice;

Left hand Download: 2576 Upload 1107
Left hand Download: 2800 Upload 1015

Right hand: Download 2857, Upload 1001
Right hand: Download 2790, Upload 1018

athe second attempt had greater speed on the download for the hand that is supposed to provide worse reception.

Me thinks it is the fluctuation of the network....
How about you?[YT][/YT]

Yeah I find it hard to believe that a manufacturer would make that mistake...again.

We would like to think so.....

That is well with the margin of error though. In other words nothing not expected.

The issue with with iPhone was it would drop signal entirely depending on how it was held.
