There is indeed no standard for what the signal bars mean and they can not be compared with different devices. Nokia E71 is an example of a phone that shows full signal bars easily, even -90 dBm on 3G can show full signal bars. But it doesn't make the reception any better...

Yup - this is interesting, however, in real life, the reception is pretty good regardless of what the meters are saying, and call quality is pretty good too, although that depends on the other side of the line as well :-) I'm comparing mainly with the N9.

Jan Wellmann ( 2014-01-12 22:57:24 +0200 )editReceptivity is always an interesting topic. When ZTE Blade came out there was talk of bad reception. However when I compared the ZTE Blade to Nokia E71 in Finnish Lapland (mobile data in a vehicle until connection was lost to the UMTS900 base station), I couldn't find any difference.
hana ( 2014-01-13 07:30:15 +0200 )editThere are of course also other factors that matter than just receptivity. Especially in urban areas there are a lot of networks and cells, so how well the device handles switching between them is important.
