I mean, if speed is the only reason to upgrade what would be the point? A phone can never make use of 6E speeds it's entirely pointless to have even faster.
Are there some other benefits it's missing out on?
Honestly though by the time wifi 7 is out in the world enough to be utilised the majority of Pixel 8 phones will be on the scrapheap.
I guess it might matter to people who'd like to stream their games from their console to their phone using some remote play app.
I mean 10gb/s is already like 20x more than you would need for that and probably more.
Having near 50gb/s is like, the bandwidth of an entire university campus going into your phone or something. Like just so overkill. You could stream 4K netflix over 3000 times over literally. Like, what could the use for that ever be? You couldn't even write or store that much data on your phone lol.
It's like saying you are disappointed because your new car is speed restricted to 50000 mph. Like...cool? It ain't gonna reach that so we're fine.
Which is why I asked if it had other benefits like better range or something, presumably that would be the benefit to be hyped over if any.
It's overkill, but 50Gbps is not enough for a Public University these days. A single core switch in NYC can see an average of 2.6Tbps of traffic. You'll probably need at least 200-400Gbps for an entire university.
But yeah, still overkill for a phone.
