Galaxy S10 Is The First Smartphone To Have Wi Fi 6

Now as we already wrote, Wifi 6 is a major upgrade from its predecessor WiFi 5. WiFi 6 brings improved battery performance, operates in both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz ranges unlike WiFi 5 which only used 5Ghz band, supports a total of 12 channels and is 4 to 10 times faster than the previous version. WiFi 6 comes with Qualcomm’s new top-notch Snapdragon 855 processor which as you would expect will ship with more flagship Android smartphones later this year. For instance the Oneplus 7 is expected to have the chip along with the Sony Xperia XZ4, ZTE Axon 10, Moto Z4 and LG G8. Most likely the next iPhone is also expected to have support for WiFi 6. Already there are several WiFi 6 routers in the wild like NETGEAR NightHawk AX12 (RAX120) and NightHawk AX8 (RAX80), Asus RT-AX routers, TP-Link Archer AX Routers, D-Link DIR-X6060 and the Arris AX11000 Surfboard. WiFi 6 is still far away from being mainstream, but at least it’s now getting out there. Image: The Verge
