A hotspot capable of a full day of work would seem to be a reasonable expectation, and until that expectation is met, consumer adoption of hotspots will have a real ceiling.

The companies that make the 4G radios inside these devices must begin to use components that require far less power, or the battery makers need to learn how to make batteries that last longer. Meanwhile, Novatel says the battery in its LTE hotspot will last “up to 5 hours.” In our tests the MiFi came nowhere near that estimate, running out of gas after just 3 hours and 6 minutes.īut regardless of the manufacturers’ projections, the battery life of these devices is clearly lacking. The Samsung battery lasted for 3 hours and 26 minutes in our test. Samsung says its hotspot battery will last for “up to 226 minutes” or 3 hours and 46 minutes. The Mifi 4510L by Novatel came up well short on battery life in our tests.

To test the longevity of the batteries in these two devices, we streamed a movie continuously to a hotspot-connected device until the battery in the hotspot failed. It seems that when connected to fast 4G service, hotspots simply need more juice than when in 3G mode. By far the biggest complaint about these 4G hotspots ( 4G phones, too) is battery life. Let’s get right to that “big difference”. In a nutshell, I found a number of small differences–and one big one–between the two devices, and ultimately chose in the Samsung’s favor.
So which device is the better buy? I break them down feature by feature to find out. Both plans charge $10 for every gigabyte of data you use over your monthly limit. For data service, you can buy a 5GB plan for $50 per month or a 10GB plan for $80 per month. The two devices and their accompanying Verizon data plans are priced the same at $100 with a two-year contract. A pair of new mobile hotspots that run on Verizon’s fast new 4G LTE network– Samsung’s 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot and Novatel’s MiFi 4510L–have become available, and they easily live up to Verizon’s claim that they are ten times faster than their 3G predecessors. And it’s a moveable feast–mobile hotspots are superportable.īut hotspots until now have connected to 3G networks, and so have provided other devices with relatively slow connections to the Web. They simplify things by providing our various devices with Internet connectivity under one data service bill. Mobile hotspots like Novatel’s popular MiFi 2200 have been greeted warmly by tech users and have sold well.
