Unifi Mobile is using Band 5(850 Mhz), Band 38(2300 Mhz) and Band 40 (2600 Mhz) for their connection. Band 5 speed is lower that Band 38 and Band 40 but it work well when you are indoor. As a result that I have collect for the pass week, I notice that the speed difference is double. I can get around 8Mbps for Band 5 and 17Mbps for the rest, Band 40 actually as my phone unable to support Band 38.
The good news is even in the night, I still able to get a decent speed, not like Celcom which force me to give up their services.

Dilemma that came with Unifi Mobile
After using the Unifi Mobile for a while, I am facing some issue. Havn't had a solution yet.
My previous testing phone, Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime has band 5, 38, 40 which fulfill the need of Unifi mobile but the phone lack of Compass and Gyroscope which force me to purchase Asus phone. Then, when I switch the Unifi Mobile to my Asus phone, I notice that the phone actually didn't have band 38 which is insane. My working place is covered with band 5, 38 only. So now with my most hours spending place unable to receive high speed LTE. I plan to switch back the Unifi mobile back to J7 Prime but unfortunately the phone die out that day and I have to send it back for the last minute warranty claim which will expired in 3 weeks after 3 years of purchases.
Now the situation is I have insists on not repairing the phone but opt for replacing the phone with another unit. Should they unable to provide another unit, I will be given store credit to purchase equal value device. Nothing confirm yet.
The support called me to advice me to opt for repair as replacing it will void my remaining warranty which I don't think 3 weeks left time is a factor that I need to consider.
With the might be store credit, I need to decide which device I should purchase. My current situation have 3 options, purchase another new phone which might not compatible with coming soon 5G that the current government is pushing really hard to launch by the mid of this year.
Another is purchase a 10.2 android tablet that will overlap with my iPad 4 usage. The size also not so travel friendly. The last option is purchase a 8" android tablet that have s-pen support and travel friendly but not so nice for media consumption.
Nothing is decided yet but there are too many constraints for each decision.
