Hotspot

[Carl Schultz]

Would you use your s22 ultra as a mobile hotspot? Think the phone could stand up to 3 or 4 other devices always connecting through it? Had a bb key 2 burn up because of over use as a hotspot.

it will definitely affect the battery of your phone. but these batteries today are much better than they were back in the days of the blackberries.

Hotspot is more of a convenience measure that's intended to be used as a workaround to provide WiFi connectivity when an actual router isn't available. It's not supposed to be a permanent substitute for a router with broadband connectivity. A smartphone hotspot not only has the battery power limitation, but very sparse, barely adequate networking/routing capability, and limited coverage range, the tiny antenna in a smartphone can't compete with the larger antenna(s) in a typical router. Use a hotspot as a temporary fix, get a router if you need a basic local network.

^yea, what they said

Even if your data plan has higher allowances for hotspot data, it would put a serious strain on your phone after even just a couple hours. ANd heat is HORRIBLE for your battery in general.
