Now that the embargo is out please can anyone with a Flint 4 and Flint 2 compare the 2.4GHz and 5GHz wifi and the practical difference of the MU-MIMO differences between them?
Hi,
Thank you for your interest in Flint 4 and for raising this comparison.
According to the published specifications, Flint 2 provides maximum theoretical PHY rates of 1148 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and 4804 Mbps on 5 GHz. Flint 4 provides 688 Mbps on 2.4GHz, 4323 Mbps on 5GHz, and an additional 8646 Mbps on 6GHz.
For spatial streams, Flint 2 uses 4×4 MIMO on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, while Flint 4 uses 2×2 on 2.4 GHz and 3×3 on both 5 GHz and 6 GHz. Both models provide eight spatial streams in total, but distribute them differently.
Flint 4 distributes its wireless capacity across three bands and adds 6 GHz and Wi-Fi 7 features such as MLO.
Actual performance will depend on the client device and wireless environment.
We hope this helps clarify the wireless design differences between the two models. Thank you again for your interest and support.
