minus-squareTheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up13·2 months agoReception is dependent on which bands the phone supports, and which bands your sim contract supports. You can get cheap phones that support all major bands, and the rest is up to the sim
minus-square00L10@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up13·2 months agoWell you can definitely impact the reception with the antenna design, and the quality of the hardware also plays a role to some degree. Wasn’t there a thing with one of those iPhones where the reception was drastically worse depending how you would hold the phone in your hand.
minus-squareMurrayL@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·2 months agoYeah, iPhone 4 was notorious for having antenna issues if you held it in a certain way
minus-squarevladmech@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 months agoThe iPhone 4’s Antennagate, yeah! Holding it in your left hand would bridge a gap and cause reception to crap out, wild stuff
