No wifi 6

[Maknora]

Just learned this. Deal breaker?

Not for me. Are there even any phones yet that support Wifi-6? As far as I can see it will be at least another year before we really start seeing serious implementation of the standard. And, As I am on a OP5 right now there is no reason for me not to upgrade.

Samsung Galaxy S10 does support Wi-Fi 6

As far as I know the WiFi 6 Standard is as yet unreleased and all devices currently "Supporting" are in Draft format.

Again, Cool that the S10 has it, but its not a deal breaker for me. My office and my home, the 2 places I use my phone the most do not have Wifi 6. I cant see all the Hotels I stay in having it any time soon. So while it is a nice thing to have it will not effect my use at all for at least 1 year if not longer.

The OP7 Pro's UFS 3.0 storage however will effect my use of the phone on a near daily basis and this is something you cannot get in any other phone currently.

Nice if you have a lot of devices, but if you have only a couple that need high speeds, a waste. The internet isn't going to be running 4.8GB any time soon, so the speed increase only gives you faster device to device connections, or more connections. You can have 250 people all watching video streams, but how many files can you download while watching 2 streams (if it's only you)? Even if you watch a stream while downloading 4 or 5 large files, 802.11 n, or WiFi 4, is probably fast enough. Smart devices? They don't use much data, so even if you have 10 of them in your house, that doesn't equal 1 video stream.

And WiFi-7 will be here around 2023.

I wouldn't say it is a big deal.
