What's up YouTube how you're doing this is tech. Extremists I got a couple of articles to run by you guys the first one's going to be about Samsung and their new 5g phone. The s20 has twenty plus and the s20 ultra, the other one is going to be. You know, Verizon being pegged as the loser in this merger. So let's get started here with the first one, and again they'll both be from fierce Wireless that comes, so I'll put a link down in the description area. So let's go ahead and read the title here: new Samsung 5g phone can tap both sub 6 gigahertz and millimeter.
Wave spectrum Samsung Electronics on Tuesday, introduced. Its new Galaxy has 25 G lineup of smartphones, including 2 5g models that are first, the first capable of tapping both sub 6 gigahertz and millimeter wave spectrum bands. So those two models that they're referring to is the S 20 plus and the Estonia altar. So why is that significant? So if you ever ISIN just thought this might not matter to you all that much because as far as I can tell Verizon's, going to keep doing the millimeter wave thing and focus on its LTE network, and they'll do lobe and 5g at a later time, so maybe within the next year, Verizon not so much now, if you have AT&T they're, currently deploying lobe and every word, and they're doing a millimeter wave in city centers, so you're going to be able to take advantage of this right away. If you have T-Mobile, they are deploying millimeter wave in some cities, and they also have the low lobe and 5g, so you'll be able to tap into both now for T-Mobile, specifically in the future, once they merge what Sprint you're going to be able to tap into that n41 that ends 71, and they're millimeter wave spectrum.
So what does that mean for you? That means you'll be ready for the future. You won't have to purchase another phone, at least not for a few years when you get this phone. Another thing that was really cool about these phones that specifically the s20 and the s20 ultra when this can the s20 can be included in this as well. Somebody reported that you are to get VoLTE or VO voice over LTE on the on AT&T. Now, if anybody has any Samsung phone, that's unlocked.
You'll know that AT&T is really for some reason: they're resistant to supporting voice over LTE, and they're on the Samsung, unlocked phones, I, think it's a money grab type thing: that's one of the reasons why people don't like AT&T but anyway, that is the case right now. It doesn't appear, like that's gonna, be the case with these new S 20 phones. So me personally, I'm going to get me as 20 ultra, and I'm specifically going to get it for AT&T, and it's going to be unlocked, and the reason is because, like I said, I'll be able to tap into the low band 5g, and they're millimeter wave, which Verizon is not doing at the moment, so it doesn't make sense to get it for them. Sprint. Well might be.50 should be able to serve me well for a while on that, one, but anyway so go ahead and check out this article. That's on fierce wireless comm.
You know very important everybody's talking about the cameras. The network is really where it's at with this phone. So let's go ahead and move on to the next article. It says- and this is the headline Verizon peg- does loser and T-Mobile Sprint deal alright, as the industry considers impacts from T-Mobile and Sprint merger. When some analysts say it's bad news for Verizon.
Well, Wall Street, firm the Canada pointed to increased competitive in network pressures that both AT&T and Verizon will face from the new T-Mobile. Verizon may be more vulnerable because of its spectrum position. So yes, that is true. There will be spectrum constraint. There will be some spectrum constraints for a Verizon, but I think that they can keep adding density with small cells and be able to keep up all other bands come around.
You know, and I also still have the idea that Verizon will deploy millimeter wave in hotspots in areas on congestion. No I won't be everywhere. You won't have a know: 5g signal driving down the street. You know in suburbs of LA, for example, but I think that they will deploy it in shopping centers, and you know schools places that have a lot of people large businesses stuff like that right or large, working centers, whatever you want to call them, but I think they'll, deploy it in places like that. I personally think that the biggest loser is 18 t historically.
For some reason, a TMT users tend to lean more towards T-Mobile I. Guess it's that old feeling of GSM I'm, not really sure that it really doesn't make much sense anymore, but T-Mobile usually tends to hurt AT&T the most and I also think that AT&T with it's you know, with its current structure, in terms of not being as focused as Verizon is I, think Verizon is gonna, become more aggressive and I. Think 18 T will remain aloof as they're trying to correct TV now. Could that be different? Could 18 t change course that's very possible, but history doesn't really tell us that, so I'm guessing I'm going to go with history until they prove me wrong. On this, so let's, let's see what they have to say on this article approval of the T-Mobile Sprint do takes not just one but two spectrum options.
Options at the table Sprint is now that a seller of 2.5, which is true- and this is not a seller of 8 of us for more than ever. Verizon- must now bet on c-band all very true points, so in terms of network I agree, but I still think, like I said that Verizon can keep doing the small cell route, because it's just you know it just makes sense right. If you have a bunch of small cells, you can make up for some spectrum. Shortcomings are it. You know very cost-effective.
No, but it looks like that might be their path for the foreseeable future, but anyway, so now, I'm going to comment a little on the merger itself. Personally, I had remained very excited on the T-Mobile Sprint merger up until maybe a few weeks ago. For some reason, I get this vibe from T-Mobile that there is going to be change in terms of the way they do business once they get a hold of Sprint 100%. So other friendly, you know, consumer friendly moves might go off the table, and that is a true concern in terms of the network. I'm very excited, because can you can? Can you imagine having 120 megahertz of band 41 deployed? On top of you know your 20 by 24 band 4 in some areas, even 20 by 20 band 2 and in some areas 10 by 10, even 20, by 20, you know band 71 and 71.
However, they choose to deploy it. The point is they're going to have a ton of spectrum available, you're gonna, you know if they deploy everything correctly, which I think team will, and I think they might have to up their capital expenditures. To take advantage of this. It's just going to be a really cool, consistent experience on the network side, I'm very excited for that. I.
Think that you know in 71 excuse me and 41 once they get that rolling, even if they just do 60 megahertz at first on top of there and 71 and millimeter wave and say dissenters, man, it's just going to be exciting for the first time in a while in terms of network I'm, very excited, so I think that Time can do some things, including home internet. If they set their minds to it. I know that they've stated that they want to do it, but they, let's see if they follow through. That's the key right, let's see if they follow through, so they do TV, and they can get it at a price. That's not too crazy.
Like AT&T TV now mean 80. A T-Mobile can turn this into a powerhouse. Let's see, if that happens, it'll, it'll be the fun part to follow, but in terms of consumer I am kind of worried. Now that a T-Mobile will raise prices. If you are a current Sprint customer I wouldn't worry too much.
T-Mobile does have a decent track record of keeping. You know existing plans in place. What they've done in the past, when they have gotten completely rid of a plan, is the movie to something similar and sometimes even a little better. So I wouldn't worry too much about that. If you're, a Sprint customer, if you want to join a carrier, I probably wouldn't join Sprint.
If you do join Sprint, you should do it with a phone like the s20. If your point is 20 ultra or as 20-plus, preferably if you are planning on staying with Sprint for a while I also wouldn't worry about any promotional things that you're getting at the moment like the title and Hulu all that stuff, like I, said T-Mobile does have a decent track record of keeping promotions in place for current customers, maybe, except adding some price to the Netflix. Remember they used to be. You know they used to pay for the whole thing, and now you got to pay like $2.99 or 399, something like that to keep it. You know what the family option hey, but you know what even that's a great deal, so it doesn't really bother me.
So, let's see what happened, I'm personally excited I can't wait for all of this to take place. The consumer side does have me a little worried there at the end, I kind of started showering on the merger a little but overall I think it'll be good for you, I think that if this gets a foothold and gets going, and they deploy other spectrum and then gain some more through auctions, they can be good. Although I think that, eventually, once the roaming agreement starts getting closer to an end, they might have to consider partnering with someone like you know, I'm, just throwing somebody out there like Comcast or something like that. Someone wants update with some deep pockets, but we'll see what happens with all of this. Let me know what you think in the comments section.
You know let's debate this, you tell me. What do you think tell me if you disagree? That's all good. You know hit the like button. I hit the ring notification bell. Thank you all for watching have a good one.
