High RF?

Does higher RF mean better signal?

Over time I’ve heard and read the Moto E815 is the reception king, but it’s not listed on the top 10 list.

Not to get side tracked though, Higher RF = better reception?

thats not high RF, thats high radiation

A higher RF does not necessarily mean better reception. As you increase RF, the amount of wireless towers in a geographical area increase due to the fact the RF wavelength decreases as the RF increases.

i think his 😕 face is because your answer was confusing.. i didnt really understand it either. can you break it down for all us simple folk please?

sounds like that when u amp up the RF signal from the phone it makes the wave longer but not stronger. like when u pull a slinky apart. does not make it any more fun...

i think what he meant is that high rf would mean the signal would have less area covered so to increase the are u need more towers that would produce the signal...

Here is a good analogy. Think of the motorola phone being a little boy maybe 6 to 10yrs of age and the cell site being an adult throwing a baseball (signal) back and forth. Well, the little boy(moto) recv a good RF but when the little boy actually send (throws the ball back to the adult) cell site. It may not be strong enough to actually connect or the little boy can not throw the ball back to the adult (cell site). But to many variables to consider. Like weather, time of day, terrain, and network. Maybe motorola works better on a motorola network vers a Nortel network. Hope this helps

No.

First, RF output (transmit) is only one half of the RF signal performance equation, with reception being the other half. Both are important.

Secondly, if higher power automatically meant better performance, all phones would be designed to operate at the maximum legal limit. That's not the case.

Engineering a phone for optimal signal (RF) performance is extremely complex. It's not just output power or reception gain. Dozens (if not hundreds) of factors affect the signal performance of a particular phone, on a particular network, in a particular location, in a particular situation.

Nokia 6010. I'm just saying. You should check the specs on it, whatever it had. That's what you want :-)

The Motorola E815 was the best non-analogue phone in the US.

🤣

no way I'm arguing about the best reception phone. However, they should still make both of these phones; motorola e815 and nokia 6010. That would make the population happy.

No.

If it were that simple, every phone would be designed to operate at the maximum legal limit. That's not the case, because RF signal performance is much, much more complicated than the simple power output of the radio.
