Verizon's Note 10 5G tests confirm the audio jack's demise with official schematics
Throughout the years, we’ve seen plenty of the Federal Communications Commission testing setups for 3G and 4G handsets, but it is for the first time that we are seeing how the FCC tests a phone with 5G connectivity on board.
Other takes from the Verizon’s Note 10 5G testing is that the phone is compliant with the radio emission limits of the FCC by using something Qualcomm calls Smart Transmit that scales down power when the emission levels start getting out of hand.
It is aided by smart antenna placements that prevent interference and excessive heat, just this small paragraph can tell you what goes on behind the scenes of fine-tuning 5G connectivity on the Note 10.
Ant J and Ant K are placed at the upper of the device and the bottom side is excluded from the worst case because the distance from the bottom side is more than 10 lambda at 28GHz and 39 GHz. In Ant L case, five PD evaluation planes except top side are set up, Ant L is placed at the lower of the device and the top side is excluded from the worst case for the same reason as Ant J and Ant K.
