Cellular strength and throughput - Honor 6X Real Life Review

We know how much you like to stream, ahem, "videos", and so cellular data is mega-important. Rate this thread to express how you think the Honor 6X's LTE performs. A higher rating indicates that it's fantastic: throughput is excellent and signal strength is top-notch.

In my opinion it works very well, i attach a screenshot of a speedtest of mine made 1 minute ago.

I only use data connection like 1/4 of the time. But with that time I have no complaints.

not bad at all. Been using this since 10 months now and havent faced the issue with signal strength unless I am in poor network range. If the network is proper, dont see any issue here with the quality at all

This is great bro. On mobile data its ****t speeds these days here.
All are just boasting on data plans but speed is just rediculous these days

Yeah that's nice. I usually browse almost all the time on HSPA, in that screenshot i had 4G on to achieve the best result that was possible

It's great

Really impressed with cellular reception and call quality
Once i visited to a desert area of Rajasthan and there is very common problem that there you can't find network inside home but honor 6x was having network everywhere no matter indoor or outdoor and it was able to make call and i can surf internet while others just wait for network.
Best in class i would say

Works better than my cable WiFi on data and call strength is very good.

Just got this device. Cellular strength is a bit better than my retired Galaxy J5.

not good signal reception in my area.so.....

Cellular strength is ok. Not that strong, not that weak.

Reception on the 6X can be a bit spotty at times.

Not sure why, but the service seems to drop regularly. a few times throughout the day
On att never drop speeds are always consistent.

yeah I'm on T mobile. I think it was a local problem with the towers in the area. It was in rural Texas, and the issue seems to have cleared up. I think it just coincided with the first week I owned the phone. I don't think it's the phone, and T mobile seems to have cleared up the network issue since my review actually.
The biggest drawbacks I see, coming from the past Samsung flagship Note 4, is the minimum & maximum brightnesses could be a bit brighter/dimmer, and the camera could fare better in dim light.
Note 4 had a wider brightness adjustment range, from dimmer to brighter) although I haven't had issues with seeing in direct sunlight, the screen just isn't as bright as the phone I'm used to, and doesn't go as dim as I'd like it to go in the dark. but overall doesn't present a problem honestly.
The camera kind of sucks without flash in dim lighting too. But in bright light, it snaps stunning, wide-angled selfies, and pretty good rear facing pictures.

I was actually having issues with T mobile a couple weeks ago. not just me, but also my family. They seem to have cleared up though. I'd recommend it if you can deal with mid-range brightness adjustment and poor camera performance in dim lighting. Those are definitely my biggest drawbacks

Anybody using an AT&T sim in the US? In theory it should work but only getting 3G (and a NO SERVICE notice on the upper left of the home screen although it makes/receives calls)
Checked the APN settings and although it defaulted to the tablet ones, the smartphone ones were there and didn’t work either.

The "No Service" appears to be for the second (embedded) SIM. If both SIM were working, you would get two network names...
I just entered the IMEI number for a spare iPhone 5 I had lying around for AT&T. It makes ATT think your device is 4G capable a reboot of my Gemini and I had 4G simple as that.
Thanks
I recently visited the farm of a friend of mine in Wales. Cellphone reception there is notoriously bad , but the only spot where one usually can get reception did nor work with the gemini, nor did walkoing up on the nearest hillock, so I assume that either the transponding circuits are weak, the radio is deliberately throttled in order to save current, or the aerial is not well thought out.
Nothing to do with the carrier, since my ancient Samsung phone usually works fine.

WiFi strength, range, and throughput

Rate this thread to express how you think the Huawei P20 Pro's Wifi performs. A higher rating indicates that it has excellent range, throughput, and signal strength. Like when you're taking a dump in the bedroom upstairs, do your videos have to buffer or do they come through without interruption?

This is my second Huawei and the WiFi strength is definitely lower than other phones. I found this a problem on my mate 10. Time will tell how much of a problem this is for me. It only happens when further away from router so won't affect anyone in a smaller house. Wil do some comparison s tomorrow with my HTc u11+ which I know has a better strength at distance.
Major issues!
I love the phone yet there a few major issues. WiFi signal is so poor that it constantly switches to data even when I am standing 1 meter from my router! I noticed that when I leave a place where I was connected to WiFi and the phone switches to data, when I am back it just won't connect to any WiFi. Besides GPS is a complete mess, it won't work with running apps for instance and WhatsApp quick-reply from the dropdown menu won't work at all. Any ideas/solutions?
No major issues here., In fact the range, signal and download speeds are much better compared to my previous Samsung.. my router is from Huawei as well so I guess they work nice together.

P20 pro model that I'm using was tested with 177Mbps upload speed, using speedtest app. This was in a public place, as my home connection is only 0.5Mbps for uploads. Google Photo cloud was effectively using only 70Mbps (not sure if Huawei or Google's fault). At home, the phone uploads images, but 4K video (even small 100MB files) don't even upload. One has to repeatedly press upload and restart Photos app to attempt to get video uploaded. So, either P20 pro or Google is currently creating a problem with 0.5Mbps upload lines. With an old Samsung S6, I could always upload automatically at home - it just took some time.
Signal strength appears good. No major issues so far, compared to cheaper Lenovo tablets and Archos type phones - which often cannot connect to WiFi without a perfect signal...

My WIFi performances are identical to other WiFi devices I own. GPS is probably better than my previous Samsung S7, both as lock-speed and as capability to keep it locked in bad situation (between very tall buildings, or very close to mountains
WiFi and hotspot working well. No issues .
V 131 (India )
Wifi strong (Tmo) not problem with GPS. google maps loads fast.
I come from Galaxy S7 Edge with andrid 6.0.1.
So I tested wi-fi strenght and the difference between the 2 phones is great for Huawei P20 Pro.
With galaxy S7 my throughput was maximum 3-4mb/sec with the phone closely to the router. And 600-900kb/s far from router.
Huawei reach 10mb/s both closely and next router. Goes down to 2-3mb/s far from the router.
Great difference !
I actually have really strong wifi, coming from i7 that was spotty here and now I'm rocking great coverage
Extremely disappointed by my P20 Pro Wifi - when to a guest house, abroad over the last weekend - 3 nights - 2 days - I was unable to use the WiFi for some reason.
All other devices - laptop, iPhoneSE, Huawei Y3 and Xiomi Mi5 had no problem whatsoever, only on my P20 Pro I was getting all the time that "Internet is not available on this WiFi", and only seldomly it was available and I was able to browse some few minutes and then again - internet is becoming unavailable.
It drove me crazy!
I did try all tricks in the book - forget wifi, enable/disable wifi, WiFi+ enable/disable, phone reboot, clear phone cash even, set IP and DNS manually as per the settings I got from my laptop - still the same!
In the end I gave up, bought a big mobile data bundle and switched off the WiFi.
Attached a screenshot telling me I have to speak to the network admin.
Only thing I thought of but couldn't find the option is to set the WiFi to be 2.4 Ghz only, does someone know how that is done?
Back home - all is back to normal - both home and work WiFi is working fine.
Anybody with similar experience? Did you manage to resolve it? I was on the first Pie (and got an update yesterday).
I have had really good performance with the P20 Pro on my 5Ghz wifi network.
................
I have the p20 lite and theres definitely a difference in signal strength between my phone and other phones put next to each other. The mobile network reception is lower, to a point where the other phones get good signal and I have none. Same with the WiFi. Is there a way to make the strength to receive better?

Interesting, I just got EMUI 10.0 for my P20 pro and ran a wifi benchmark. It seems like wifi is about 20% more efficient than with EMUI 9.1 for me.

I do experience rare wifi drop, where the phone cannot see any wifi for about 15 seconds before get back to normal.
I am not that impressed with wifi neither. Signal is dropping from 2 Bars to Zero and back again. I have not yet had a situation in which i had 1/4 signal strength.
why youtube video quality always open with 480p even if with good connection
I am having fast connection for normal use although the connection is terrible when I connect my Plantronics Backseat 500 headphones through Bluetooth. My wifi only supports wifi N.
Other than that range seems good to me.
I get the full 36Mbps DL & 9Mbps UL that I get off my wired PC. I'll have to experiment with range.
My Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite wifi signal strength is too poor and couldn't download from play store smoothly how can I over come this problem.

You could try a WLAN repeater or stay closer to your router.

That could be due to your carrier restrictions. For example, AT&T can stream 1080p when a certain option is selected/plan is chosen. Metro PCS only streams in 480p I believe.
WiFi strength is sometimes spotty if you're on at least my estimation of 12-15 meters away (disconnects and reconnects itself), especially if battery saver is on, the same experience with my previous phone. Otherwise, it's fine.
I work in an internet source and here a link of approximately 30Gb and in all the tests I did in mi a2 lite with all kind of router, it did not exceed 100Mbps both download and upload ... I read in a site that the maximum was 300Mbps but I believe it is false information.
I have a partner that has a redmi note 6 pro and it reaches the maximum 300Mbps
WiFi range and strength is better than an iPhone 7, no issues there.
On 2.4ghz I get at most 72mbps but don't expect more out of a 2.4ghz connection.
On 5ghz its a bit disappointing really as I can only do 100mbps.
I know it doesn't feature AC wireless but still disappointing, thought I'd see around 150mbps.
Tried a couple of ROMs and they all perform roughly the same. Crdroid A12 and havocOS A11.
What is your WiFi throughput on 2.4ghz and 5ghz ? What ROM and android version are you using ?

I don't think it's special in any way, I was getting about the same range from my Oneplus 6, so dont think that the special wifi antennas they advertised work in a better/more stable way. Having wi-fi 6 is nice though.
The wifi and signal strength is really superb i had a Redmi Note 7 Pro before and hardly catched 2 tower in wifi but with this device it's full always and never disconnects also there is dual wifi acceleration so that you can use both the wifi bands on your device at the same time(2.5Ghz/5Ghz) also hyoerfusion works great on the app's which don't have only one server such as youtube (as it constantly switches if ping is low so not usable for PUBG if you'r internet ping is low) while in other apps you can connect both wifi and also SIM DATA together.
Compared with Huawei p 40 pro.rog 3 WiFi is weakness
Has anyone been able to get WiFi link speed over 1200 mbps? It seems it won't link any higher even tho the router supports up to 3,8Gbps..
Not able to test cause I got some slow router but curious what router gives you those speeds???
I need one of those

Hehe, I bought myself the Xiaomi AX9000 router. I already have the Xiaomi AX3600 also. Both seems to give me the same speed but the AX9000 seems to have better coverage
