Pixel LTE speedtest?

[mzanette]

Anyone know of a review that tested the LTE speeds of the new Pixel phones? I'm especially wondering about Bell and Rogers in Canada.

I've seen one review of it on LTE through Fi on iirc T Mobile's towers. It was bringing down at speeds around 9-10Mbps. That's pretty good for a throttled device. This device tested was in the Charlotte area. It should be competitive with any carrier phone with a carrier specific SIM card. If you're on Project Fi, as was the test device. I've seen that your speeds are reduced to roughly 50% of cap.

What do you mean a throttled device?

Also interested in this. The phone has barely gotten into the hands of people. Give it a couple days and i sure we will have some answers I have high hopes that it tremendous.

One thing that is also disappointing is the 821 CPU works at 820 speed so there's no advantage having it just check ARS Technica review.

With any luck I will get mine this week and let you know.

I believe I read the 821 in the pixel is underclocked to 820 speeds. If that's true, then the advantage to having it over the 820 should be better battery life.

Not really since it seems that is not difference in the manufacturing process and technology between the two, just that one is clocked faster than the other.

Technically since these phones have all the bands you should get the same speeds you do now with capable phones. It just depends on the network strength / congestion where you're at during the time of the test.

Yes, it also depends on the carrier and its signal strength as well as load on the carrier deapite the lte modem being used in it

Of course. And I doubt we notice any difference from 100mbs to 200 when browsing.

I don't want to derail this conversation too much, but this is what I've found on the 821 vs 820: https://www.google.com/amp/www.xda-...le-pixel-phones/amp/?client=ms-android-google

I would speedtest the phone in Baltimore on Fi, but that costs a lot of money. I bet I would get excellent speeds there because of the T-Mobile and Sprint networks. The Pixels should have the same LTE capabilities as any other phones right now.

I've always thought that the Carrier's network quality and speed are basically what matters. No?

Check out my Ookla Speedtest result. What's your speed? Speedtest.net by Ookla - My Results

Here is a speedtest I did on my pixel xl on Verizon lte-advanced

The device's antennas, processor, and radio bands all play into the speed capabilities.

Project Fi phones are throttled on carrier towers they use.

Can somebody post the screenshot?..

The 6p runs perfectly. So if additional speed isn't needed, but battery life is.
