Digisol DG-HR1070MSE 4G Mi-Fi Portable Broadband Router

The Digisol HR-1070MSE is an upgrade over the older HR-1070MS in terms of compatibility with more LTE bands, however, the battery capacity has been reduced from 2800 mAh to 2000 mAh. The fact that the battery is now removeable is a welcome change but it would have been better to not reduce the capacity. We saw the internals of the device to be quite well built but the previous model had two UF/L antennae connectors which this unit no longer has. Also, we’d have liked to see the power and WPS buttons to have been either flush with the surface or better yet, slightly recessed to avoid accidental presses. Performance wise, the decision to modify the modem and drop TDD uplink speeds doesn bottleneck the device. Overall, the Digisol HR-1070MSE is rich with features that make it compatible with every telephony provider in the country but the reduced battery capacity and bandwidth bottleneck stick out like a sore thumb. The huge price tag of Rs.4,500/- certainly can drive away customers as the Reliance JioFi 4G Hotspot with it’s severely subsidised price tag of Rs.1,999 is a more attractive buy.
