**5G Testing: A Day in the Life of a Speed Test**

Today was a day filled with excitement and anticipation as we put our 5G phone to the test. We began by downloading a 4K video that had been downloaded in under five minutes on other networks, but would take around ten hours to download over 4G. However, with our 5G connection, we were able to download it in an impressive 5 minutes. This was just one of many tests we ran throughout the day, and we're excited to share our results with you.

**The Speed Test Results**

We started by downloading a 4K video from Netflix in under five minutes. The same video would take around ten hours to download over 4G, making the 5G connection a game-changer for streaming enthusiasts. We then reversed the test and downloaded the entire season of a popular TV show in just one minute over our 5G connection. When we switched to 4G, it took around three minutes to download just one episode, highlighting the significant difference between the two networks.

**Testing on Other Devices**

We also tested our 5G connection on other devices, including a phone with a 40GB storage capacity, which was able to complete an entire installation in under two and a half minutes. We then downloaded a movie that normally takes around two hours to download over 4G, but was completed in just 11 seconds over our 5G connection.

**Battery Life Test**

As the day went on, we noticed that the battery life of our phone began to dwindle. At the start of the day, with 100% battery power, it was still at 53% by the end of the day, after four hours of use. This is a concern for many users who are used to having their phones last all day without needing a recharge.

**The Phone: A Premium Device**

Our phone, an S10 5G model from Verizon, is a premium device that comes with a hefty price tag of $1300. The phone features a 6.7-inch display, four cameras on the back, and two front cameras, including depth sensors. It also boasts a massive 4500mAh battery. While the phone's price may be out of reach for many users, our experience so far has been nothing short of impressive.

**The Future of 5G**

As we look to the future, it's clear that 5G is going to be a major player in the world of wireless technology. With the new chip from Qualcomm set to arrive at the end of 2019, we can expect to see even faster speeds and more affordable options for users. For now, though, the S10 5G remains an exciting option for those who want to be on the cutting edge of technology.

**The Conclusion**

Today's tests have shown us just how impressive our 5G connection is. From fast downloads to low battery life, we've experienced it all. While there's still room for improvement, especially when it comes to battery life, we're excited about the future of 5G and what it has in store for us.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enpink will download wine country cuz why not one hour 43 minutes Phil and it's downloaded okay that happens too fast I wasn't even looking I'm gonna do it again all right so here I am back in Chicago the scene of the crime I'm here discussing the Samsung Galaxy S 10 5g on Verizon's 5g network feels a little bit like deja vu because I was here six weeks ago to test another phone the moto z3 with the attachable moto mod and those tests didn't go so well so we're trying it again but there are a couple things that are going to be different about this test first of all it's a completely different phone second Samsung and Verizon have teamed up to make it really clear what we should and shouldn't expect so we know we're getting 5g download speeds and 4G upload speeds that's just because the network isn't ready yet baby steps the third changes to the network itself verizon hasn't expanded coverage so we don't get to go everywhere we want but it should be faster at the sites where we are okay so let's go speed test this phone here it is this is the Galaxy S 10 5g testing phone that Samsung has brought us to try out they've set up the device already so it has some accounts on in including speedtest.net also a Google account and Netflix account and a prime video account so we'll definitely see what happens when we download some videos but first speeds our first speed test is going to be inside the Verizon store because there's a node right over there rule of thumb is to be within 100 to 300 feet but let's see how fast we can get all right first test here we go so you may have noticed that there was some flickering of the logo above Verizon tells us that you're really only supposed to see this 5g logo when you're actually connected to the network so if you see it bounce back and forth between a 4G and 5g I think that's a little bit alarming but apparently that is the way it is designed I mean this is respectable so far but it's definitely not a peep that I've seen that's pretty good though alright we're ready for test two there's the node over there we're right within the line of sight so let's do it ah there we go go go go go go this is pretty good pretty promising oh you can do it alright so we broke one gigabit that's fast okay so those testing speeds were awesome I think it's time to try a real-world test we're gonna download some video and time it alright we've got the s10 5g on the Left I'm gonna see how long it takes to download season 2 of the marvelous mrs. Mazal in 4k all right so this is pretty impressive because this is about ten hours give or take of video 4k video downloaded in under five minutes now we're going to reverse it and see how long it takes to download it over 4G one two three so same thing 4k videos season 2 this is already gonna take a while so over 5g we downloaded two episodes in one minute this is going to be like one episode in maybe over three minutes that last little bit as always the hardest isn't it we've got to move on to other 5g testing sites but it is telling that it took just about as long to download one the episode of the season in 4G as it took to download the entire season in 5g so that's your real-world test right there node me test number three okay well this is interesting because it says we're on five G at this there's a 40 result and we just popped out into a fortune so perfect all right the rain is starting to fall we've got this busy street right over here the note is right over there so let's get into test number four well it's raining it's really really raining and as much as I'd like to be in a cafe right now drinking something more we've got testing to do wish me luck all right so I'm just gonna download hub G global which is a huge file just wanna see how fast it is last time I tried this it took six minutes so we could be here for a while this is a pretty huge file it's almost two gigabytes and it downloaded and installed completely in under two and a half minutes and I'm pretty impressed funny story I had dinner at the restaurant across the street last night it was really good but if I had looked up I would have noticed a node right up there so this is where we're gonna do our next test I think we'll download wine country cuz why not one hour 43 minutes Phil and it's downloaded okay that happens too fast I wasn't even looking I'm gonna do it again and go under 11 seconds to download and almost two hour movie it's pretty fast and now let's see what happens on the 4G phone you know I just don't see the download even progressing well this movie isn't even downloading and it's been almost 2 minutes so guess we've proven our point I can't keep speed testing this phone all day especially because things are going so well and it just stopped raining however this is our final stop of the day we're right next to the Willows tower which is a huge Monument lots of tourists around here so this is definitely the kind of place where you're gonna want it c5 gene so that was our third test where we actually bypassed one gigabit per second and that is amazing these are the speeds that we want to see one thing I have to talk about is battery life at the beginning of the day at 10 a.m. we started with 100% it's been about 4 hours it's a 2 p.m. local now and we're down to 53 percent we've been hitting this thing pretty hard it's no secret that 5g is definitely going to take a toll on battery especially as things get going but over time there are some improvements that Verizon can make to the software and the network that will help keep the battery levels a little bit higher alright let's talk about the phone itself the s10 5g is a really big beautiful device it's got as six point seven inch display four cameras on the back and two on the front including death sensors and a 4500 milliamp battery so this is an expensive premium device it starts on Verizon for 1300 it's an exclusive for the first month before it opens up to the other major US carriers so this is going to be something that you can get six weeks ago I would have said don't even think about it you know the networks aren't there yet the phones aren't there yet they're too expensive let's wait and see but now after having such a great day I can see the 5g future I'm much more excited about it I think if you want to be on the cutting edge and money's no problem and you're raring to go and you want to have that phone ready this is something to consider for the vast majority of the population probably myself included I would say let's wait until the end of 2019 and let's see where we are Qualcomm has come out with a new chip that's going to be coming into phones at around that time it might make the phones thinner could make them a little cheaper we don't know but we'll definitely be more options so I think wait until the networks are built up but definitely start getting excitedpink will download wine country cuz why not one hour 43 minutes Phil and it's downloaded okay that happens too fast I wasn't even looking I'm gonna do it again all right so here I am back in Chicago the scene of the crime I'm here discussing the Samsung Galaxy S 10 5g on Verizon's 5g network feels a little bit like deja vu because I was here six weeks ago to test another phone the moto z3 with the attachable moto mod and those tests didn't go so well so we're trying it again but there are a couple things that are going to be different about this test first of all it's a completely different phone second Samsung and Verizon have teamed up to make it really clear what we should and shouldn't expect so we know we're getting 5g download speeds and 4G upload speeds that's just because the network isn't ready yet baby steps the third changes to the network itself verizon hasn't expanded coverage so we don't get to go everywhere we want but it should be faster at the sites where we are okay so let's go speed test this phone here it is this is the Galaxy S 10 5g testing phone that Samsung has brought us to try out they've set up the device already so it has some accounts on in including speedtest.net also a Google account and Netflix account and a prime video account so we'll definitely see what happens when we download some videos but first speeds our first speed test is going to be inside the Verizon store because there's a node right over there rule of thumb is to be within 100 to 300 feet but let's see how fast we can get all right first test here we go so you may have noticed that there was some flickering of the logo above Verizon tells us that you're really only supposed to see this 5g logo when you're actually connected to the network so if you see it bounce back and forth between a 4G and 5g I think that's a little bit alarming but apparently that is the way it is designed I mean this is respectable so far but it's definitely not a peep that I've seen that's pretty good though alright we're ready for test two there's the node over there we're right within the line of sight so let's do it ah there we go go go go go go this is pretty good pretty promising oh you can do it alright so we broke one gigabit that's fast okay so those testing speeds were awesome I think it's time to try a real-world test we're gonna download some video and time it alright we've got the s10 5g on the Left I'm gonna see how long it takes to download season 2 of the marvelous mrs.
