And the finish line..?
Like, install antennas to connect to any network...
Phones are also small computers, and while its wireless chipset may only be compatible with certain carriers, that doesn't mean that I shouldn't be allowed to install whatever I want on it.
Try a Galaxy S5..
Antennas are proprietary to different networks.
The antenna isn't chipset agnostic? TIL. I normally work with radio transmitters for LoRa and Bluetooth where the antenna is just a wire connected to a radio chipset module so I assumed 4g/5g were the same
Yeah, I don't think there are many models of phones with proprietary antennas, but there are, or at least were a couple models.
