What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Mimo aerial ports are the real plus for difficult 3g/4g reception areas. You have to manually configure apn settings for giffgaff. Reception is definitely better outdoor with and without an antenna.
Intuitive, configurable and infomative touchscreen ui. Works very well, the build quality and touchscreen are great. My only gripe is the usb 3.
It has a long battery life and good wifi range even on the lowest power setting. Battery life seems fine after a full charge (82% after an hour of use) - more if i reduce the screen brightness and timeout. Serves 5-6 devices without a problem.

Competitiveness
It improved on the poor 3/4g signal i was getting even before (on a tp-link 4g modem) i put it into the smart crade (dc112a-100eus).
Light and well engineered with removeable battery.

Watching a movie on my laptop while my friend listens to streaming apps on their device is only limited by reception

A regular phone sim may well not immediately connect to 4g perhaps 3g only if at all

A little on the expensive side but maybe you get what you pay for
