Review on 🌐 Skyroam Solis: Ultimate Mobile WiFi Hotspot & Power Bank with Unlimited Global Data by Kevin Singleton

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The original is better! Save your money! Don't update!

I've been an active supporter of Skyroam since I found her a few years ago. BUT. now i'm not sure anymore. The new Solis isn't my favorite Skyroam and here's why. 1) It is HUGE compared to the original. Not ideal if you're trying to minimize what you carry with you every day. 2) The new connector is inconvenient for the user. Now I need an adapter and a charging cable to take with me. The old USB was great, this new one is not so good 3) it has no screen. So it's not friendly to see if you're connected or how much time is left. Not ideal 4) The case has a weak strap (additionally), it won't last long. A metal clip for clipping to a backpack, handbag or belt loop would be better. 5) The battery life is not that great. My old Skyroom lasted longer. Solis didn't even last a day (14 hours) and that only uses it for Wi-Fi. 6) The module does not display the remaining battery, connection, time, etc. I miss these things. In general. it's not that easy to set up, hard to tell if it works, big and bulky. Battery life is short and connectivity is problematic. I will return to my old skyroom after this trip! (An older, simpler, better model is also shown) But I'll add. I've visited over 60 countries and Skyroam has always worked great.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
