Wifi performance is pretty awesome
Speed is more than what it is on Samsung galaxy J5 owned by my father and my previous phone nexus 5.
Range is also better than with these 2 phones. Yes, I can stream videos in bathroom!

Agreed, wifi speed is great! (currently getting 70~ Mbit/s)

WiFi is great. I have 200Mb up&down and I can get them in Pocophone

I have noticed one problem which is when am using my poco f1 mobile's hotspot on my laptop...poco f1 doesn't show any data flow( data rate per second ) on built in speed meter

one of the best i ever used, compared to my other phones i used before like my nexus 5, mi1, blu r1hd. The only thing that can compare to with wifi speed and range would be mi2

Its common on xiaomi imo, my mi5s and max2 never show speed when using as hotspot too

SpeedTest OP 6 - PocoF1 - Pixel 2 - MI A2

Getting around 650 Mbps UP and down with a distance of 1m from the router using iperf3

Wifi strength is awesome for me. On previous phone ( Galaxy Sn4 mini) I lost signal so many times. On Poco, signal is as strong as next to router. LOL. So amazing

I get an error everytime i run iperf3
Saying " unable to connect to server:no route to host.
Can someone help?

After a recent update my wifi speeds have decreased drastically

Signal strenght is very good, my old phone had problems since I have bed quite far from router, but Poco has 2-3 bars. I use Pixel exp, but wifi is same as it was on MiUI.

Does Poco F1 support MiMo and simultaneus connection at 2.4 and 5 Ghz? 40,60,80 Hz Channel?
Any technical detalis?

I want to know the same thing!

Pocophone definitely supports 80mhz (2x2), i am not sure if it supports beamforming or mimo since i have an anicent router (TP Link Archer C7 v5) but I'm getting pretty okay speed

Cellular strength and throughput

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 Asus Zenfone 5V's LTE performs. A higher rating indicates that it's fantastic: throughput is excellent and signal strength is top-notch.

I got better signals quality than on my OnePlus 5.
does it work on tmobile? i see its missing band 12 unfortunately. a little worried about that

Yes it works but you will only get 3g and hspa+. I also noticed that I would lose signal indoors.

Great on open area but drastically dropped inside or behind walls. I got roughly 60mbps outside my house but when I Wa inside the best was only 7mbps. Distance between the front and inside is only 2 meter
Are you talking about the Zenfone 5? If you bought the global one it doesn't support the necessary LTE bands to work in USA.

Coverage is good, mind you this is in comparison to the OnePlus 6.
On band 2, I get several better dBm readings on the Asus, but for whatever reason, I'm pulling much faster speeds on the OnePlus 6. Asus will be sitting at -90 dBm vs OP6s -96dBm.
I just did a test on the same server in the same location and the Asus pulled 74.5 Mbps DL whereas the OnePlus 6 pulled 113 Mbps. This leads me to believe 4x4 MIMO is not active or it is not utilizing T-Mobiles 256QAM technology. My guess is 4x4 MIMO, and I can't test if it's active unless I root.

Wireless signal strength is avarage to poor. My Xiaomi Mi4c finds networks where as my Mi8 doesn't. My Xiaomi Mi4c has almost full bars where my Mi8 has only 1 and even disconnects. The Mi4c wireless is the best I ever had on a phone, even beats the iPhone X in both range and performance.
Troughput is good, i dont have wireless AC, only 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz. I get 200/20 from my ISP. A wireless speedtest when i have full connection over 5Ghz results in the following:
Download: 168 mbps
Upload: 20,5 mbps
Ping: 10 ms
These results probably could be better when using better equipment. My wireless network is provided by a TP-Link WDR4300 with stock firmware.
It's excellent. Nothing to complain about, 250/250 connection.
Excellent, on 600/600 5 GHz wifi
Can anyone else contribute on the wifi connection range and strength vs other phones?

Nope, as it's excellent, just like most phones today.
If someone have an issue it's due to their ISP/router etc. like @ndonkersloot, not the device.
No problems. Better than the Huawei V10.
Poor
My Mi 8 has a poor signal, I had a Mi 5 and the strength it's better, like @ndonkersloot I have the same issues
I just tried to disable the data, then I connected to the WIFI at home and I activated the Hotspot. Then I connected to hotspot with an old simless smartphone and was able to surf the internet. Virtually the Mi 8 global with MIUI 10 stable function as WIFI extender. Stefano from Italy.
Average at best. I have noticed it suffers from some of the issues that older iPhones had due to antenna placement. When you hold the phone horizontally (landscape), poor connections take a huge hit.

Hi guys, I'm experiencing wifi connection dropouts on the newly bought device.
The rest gadgets of my household behaving fine. How do I research for the possible solution?
What version of rom do You have. Did You try to update to this version: clover_images_V9.6.23.0.ODJCNFD_20180802.0000.00_8.1_cn_041a06af04.tgz
9.6.26 out today
Ive never had any issues with it wifiwise on my Orbi homebsetup or hotspotting from my phone.
My MI Pad 4 is running Mokee by default, i bought it from Ali Express.
I'm to sure how to switch to MIUI, or should I?
Running on Miui 10 weekly beta from xiaomi.eu, I don't have these problems. My wifi is stable, although the range is a bit smaller than that of my Mi Note 3 - still excellent, but noticably different.

My recent phones i.e realme 3 pro and 5 pro had relatively bad indoor cellular strength, internet speed was lower than other devices indoor but was fine on outdoor.
Thanks realme fixed this in x2.
Excellent strength both indoor and outdoor.
Edit: i talked to customer support and got to know that none of realme phones supports carrier aggregation (4g+),in my locality indoor receptions is low so 4g+ is a must here, as realme phones don't support it, indoor reception is really poor and slower internet speed.
I think I will be trying to enable it with tools from xda, as this chip supports it, but maybe or maybe not our devices lacks required antenna.
Indoor receptions have some issues.
Very slow internet speed indoors sometimes untill you put the phone on and off of Airplane mode.
Could definitely be fixed by software updates though.
Same problem with my unit too!

hello,
as you mentioned the problem,its exactly the same with me!
tried speed tests with moto one power with same jio sim and found my X2 is consistently giving about 1.5 times less speed from that phone!
researched a lot and found moto has 2CA and my device even with sd 730g which supports 4CA is giving ****ty results bcz realme doesn't bother enabling it!
if you have any solution please let us know!
thanks
Can anyone help I have realme X2 but after software update I am not able to use lte 4g it automatically connects to 2g

Is anyone experiencing low wifi strength when playing games (covering the wifi band instead of covering the speaker) ? Overall wifi strength is good but if you accidentally cover it while watching videos or something it slows down connection real bad.
(I'm on Xiaomi.eu 11.0.7)

All the 2019 xiaomi's suffer from low quality wifi connection ( i had note 8, note 8 pro, mi9SE and now mi note 10 ) and all are capped at ridicolous 96mbs on 2.4ghz while with others ( huawei's best ) in the same spot i have 400mbs.
My mi note 10 it's even bested by lower tier xiaomi's ( i have a redmi note 5 pro to compare ) regularly loose wifi connection in some spot and it's not auto reconnecting.
You cant have 400 mb connection on 2.4 GHz band . This is a lot over 2.4 can do. either IT was on 5ghz or GSM accelerated
So so
With different modems and qnc, you get different connection speed.

I have a netgear r7800 that can do theorical 800mbs on 2.4ghz, max i see at 20mhz channel is 400. With huawei nova5t i see 400, with this phone like i said max was 96 only, i flashed cc9pro rom (xiaomi eu) and now magically is showing 200.
