5G Laptops with Cellular service which can make phone calls (by dialing a phone number) and reply phone calls like a 5G smartphone ,  should be introduced into the market and should be a reality , so much so that we can use to make phone calls directly on that 5G Laptop and also receive phone calls directly on that 5G Laptop while we are on a train , on a bus , on a light rail transit , on an aeroplane , in the back of a  cab/taxi , etc., etc., just like a 5G smartphone.    Once again I would like to reiterate , 5G Laptops that can make phone calls (by dialing a phone numberand reply phone calls just like a  5G smartphone  should be a reality and machines like this should not aimed only at the business market for business people , for enterprise users , for corporate users but also for ordinary users who would love and who would like to use only one machine as a Laptop , as a Tablet and as a Smartphone

1_15.6 inches 5G Tablet that can make phone calls and receive phone calls like a 5G smartphone

 

Is there a cellular version of the SAMSUNG Tab S9 Ultra whereby I can make phone calls and reply phone calls like a 5G smartphone ?  If the SAMSUNG Tab S9 Ultra can do that , it is like having a 15.6 inches  smartphone and that is awesome !


CHATGPT ANSWER


Hi, this is Copilot. I’m glad you’re interested in the SAMSUNG Tab S9 Ultra. 😊

According to my web search results, the SAMSUNG Tab S9 Ultra does have a cellular version that supports 5G connectivity. However, this version is not available in the US, only in some regions1. You can check your country’s Samsung website to see if the S9 Ultra 5G is available locally.

The SAMSUNG Tab S9 Ultra 5G has a 12.4-inch AMOLED screen, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, an S Pen, and a long-lasting battery. It also has a SIM card slot that allows you to make and receive phone calls like a smartphone2. You can also use apps like WhatsApp, Skype, or Zoom to communicate with others using the tablet’s Wi-Fi or cellular data.

The SAMSUNG Tab S9 Ultra 5G is a powerful and versatile device that can handle both work and entertainment. It is indeed awesome to have such a large and high-quality display on a tablet that can also function as a phone. However, it might not be very convenient to carry around or hold up to your ear. You might want to use a Bluetooth headset or speakerphone for better comfort and sound quality.

I hope this information helps you. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask me. 😊

Your Next Laptop Will Probably Come With a Contract and Data Plan

And you’ll buy it from a company like Verizon

WWe’re used to always-on connections with our phones, but with laptops, most of us are still tied down to Wi-Fi hotspots or smartphone tethering. While 4G laptops exist, many people who buy them never activate cell service. Verizon data plans start at $20 for a measly 2GB of data. Spending extra on a limited data plan when the network isn’t much faster than most widely available Wi-Fi is a hard sell.

But 5G promises faster download speeds over the air than most people get at home, and once it is ubiquitous, it could free the laptop from Wi-Fi. Why spend the effort to get on the Starbucks Wi-Fi that gets 10 or 20 Mbps when a 5G connection could get 1000 Mbps?

Computer makers like Lenovo, which last week unveiled the 5G laptop that will be the first sold in stores this spring, are betting that consumers will opt to keep their laptops connected to 5G all the time. That’s a big opportunity for Lenovo, but it’s an even bigger opportunity for cell phone carriers.

For carriers, which have to continually upgrade their networks to stay competitive, nothing is more valuable than a committed customer. This is why they have tried every trick in the book to keep customers on their network and prevent them from switching, including carrier-specific versions of a phone that couldn’t be used on other networks and the infamous two-year contracts that used to be common at every carrier. Carriers even resorted to selling phones that could technically be used on other carriers, but came with a software lock that prevented customers from switching without the carriers’ permission. This practice was eventually outlawed, although the FCC still allows a temporary 60-day lock.

Two-year contracts, in which customers would receive a “free” or reduced price phone in exchange for a commitment to stay with the company, were carriers’ greatest weapon. Until they weren’t. As smartphone prices started to skyrocket, carriers had to eat more and more of the hardware cost, cutting into their profits. Eventually, carriers switched to their current model: Phone buyers would pay a monthly fee for the device — usually the full cost of the device divided by 24 — and stick with…
