Top speeds observed on this Sprint 5G test: 413 Mbps down, 32.1 Mbps up, 14 ms ping, while my T-Mobile LTE phone at the same spot hit 40.3 Mbps, 29.2 Mbps, 21 ms. But... how much can I appreciate that bandwidth bonanza on a phone's screen?
Real-time live feed AR experiences, streaming or broadcasting in 4K, being able to share that bandwidth with multiple other devices
A phone screen is about the last place I want to watch 4K—okay, except for a smart watch’s display. I agree that AR is great, but how much bandwidth do you need to put a useful overlay on your surroundings?
You may not care about resolution in your video, but 4K and HDR are inexorably linked with many providers and you almost assuredly will care about the color depth. As for AR, it's less about individual data points and more about being able to adapt that content on the fly.
