LG G6 to be Sprint's first HPUE-capable device

[WiWavelength]

Also, let's not forget that if HPUE was on in idle mode, that it would be a massive battery cost.

 

If transmitting and depleting battery, then no longer idle.

Alright, I've been using the phone for three + days, and this morning it already received an Android update. Anyone know what this might be?

Hopefully some camera fixes.  There's a long picture thread on Android Central and some are having inconsistent results, and might even be from different software levels across carriers.

FYI:

 

Appears the G6 has a very fragile camera lens.  You'd think they would have learned from the V20 reports

No way.  Loving mine so far.  Can't imagine returning it for something else and not feeling like I took a big step backwards.

That is a pretty good deal.

That is a fantastic deal, I wonder if they would allow full payment without that monthly credit for the discount, which forces you into a 2 year "contract"

I don't know why you couldn't just pay it off after a month.  This is crazy, and pretty much screws the early adopters.  Good thing i'm still within 14 days. Mine is going back for sure now.

You won't get tv deal if return first g6 and existing customer with upgrade get a monthly credit off phone not instant credit I believe but could be wrong....

You can pay it off at any time as far as I am aware. You may have to call to be able to do that though.

I've spoken to a couple of people, its a loyalty credit that they issue for 24 months. So while you can pay if off whenever you like, the line has to stay active for the remaining months in order for the credit to stay valid, otherwise it goes right back up to full price.

 

From Sprint's perspective, I totally get it, but this could cause some confusion.

That makes enough sense. I wasn't talking about cancelling a line, just paying off the device. I've paid off a device early before (no credits on it though), kept my line active just got a different device.

Its kinda a way to keep subsidies without the "contract"

LG G6 and iPhone 7+ Considerable difference with HPUE at the site where this was taken.

 

HPUE does not affect downlink speeds.

Quick question...one thing keeping me from getting this is Samsung pay on my note 5..the way it's designed compared to Android pay and Google pay where you have to tap the machine or it has to be an updated machine in order to use those. I read that LG was designing something similar to Samsung pay with the magnetic strip function that can be used on older swipe machines. (Note:I don't know exactly what everything in describing is called and could be doing a terrible job describing the differences so look past that as much as you can) has anyone set up my pay yet and used it?

Wouldn't it indirectly affect download speeds if it keeps the phone on band 41 versus switching to a loaded b25 or b26 signal?  But yes I understand the B41 download signal isn't affected on HPUE phones.

If you were in an area where you could not connect to B41 before. But both devices were on B41, so it would not make a difference.
