Samsung SCH-A970
INTERNAL ANTENNA
Alright i know a lot of people are likeing the idea of the internal antenna. but from what i know a big problem with the lg8100 is that it does not have an extendable antenna which causes it to not get as good of a signal as say something like the moto 815 that has an extendable. so if this one has an internal antenna wouldnt it struggle to keep a call if you are in a weak, questionable area??? if anyone has any ideas just let me know.
thanks

it's all a matter of perception. it really doesn't matter if ur phone gets good reception in the first place, it doesn't need anything else - other than the internal antenna.
BUT... if it makes u feel like a real man to pull out that ugly piece of plastic, stick with Verizon

Hey Paul,
Try a Physics 101 course.
Fundamental theory of reception is frequency vs. length of antenna.

honestly I think the internal antenna is goin to be fine. However, go outside your digital area and I can see it becoming a problem.
Most internal antennas have built in amplifiers anyways to help. Ive owned mostly extendable antenna phones, and I broken the antennas off of a couple of em (or I just unscrewed them cuz my cat thought it was a toy)......my signal quality wasnt hindered..............but what do I know, I dont make the phones. I just use em.

I dropped and broke off the external entenna portion on a Moto v60 and the signal got about 2 bars worse and would not work at all in marginal areas where it worked fine before - I think the extendable antenna can make a difference - but by designing the phone from scratch without it, there is probably little difference! 🤣 🤣 🤣

1900 mhz = 6.18 inches (thereabouts)
simply put, if you have the length of the antenna as close to that measurement as possible, you achieve the best gain (outside of amplifying the signal, which cell phones don't do alone all that well).
If you had a bagphone operating at 800mhz analog (or digital) your ideal antenna length would be 14.6 inches (like they had installed in Fords)

Got a reception problem? Get one of those reception boosters AS SEEN ON TV. Give me a break.

The antenna is plastic. How could they possible hold a frequency? I've been told by VZW that phones with extendable antennas simply have them because it is required. Seems as though there are "classes" for phones, and the "class" of these phones are required to have an extendable antenna.

Trust me when i tell you this, the extendable antenna on cell phones does almost nothing, so your right. If they even give you 1 more bar, you should be happy. There's a litle metal piece on the end of the antenna inside of the phone and this is supposed to be the "Functional" part of the antenna and other than that, your right, they are just ugly pieces of plastic sticking up on the top of your phone. I say that its about time that Verizon comes out with a phone that has an Internal Antenna!!

ummm.........thats not reception........thats the frequency mode i.e CDMA 800/1900 Analog 800

To be fair, the new samsung would not be the first verizon phone with out a antenna on the outside. The Samsung N330 is a current Samsung model that has this already.
There is one forum entry with someone saying the reception is slightly reduced from the design, which in my eyes makes perfect sense. If you are looking for a phone that gets impeccable reception go Moto. If you live in an area with decent coverage dont worry about it.

Its my experience that the antenna matters a whole lot more in analog service than digital. Considering that almost anywhere I'd be going these days analog isn't something I'd ever need so it doesn't bother me.
Think of it this way if it helps. Most people have seen the difference between digital cable and analog. The digital cable signal is either really good or its crap (given a decent provider), once the signal is at an acceptable level not much else matters. On analog cable however the signal quality obviously has a big impact on the resulting image, there is a whole range of mediocre grades of reception you can receive.
