Let me start by saying the Franklin A50 delivers solid 5G speeds—when it's not overheating. I used it during a weekend camping trip, and streaming HD videos on multiple devices was surprisingly smooth. The WiFi 6 capability handled my laptop, tablet, and two phones without breaking a sweat.

But here's the catch: this thing gets HOT. Like 'I-worried-it-might-melt' hot after just an hour of use. I ended up placing it on a cool rock surface (very high-tech cooling solution, I know) which helped somewhat. The removable 5000mAh battery is convenient, but ironically contributes to the heat issue.

The setup was painless—just popped in my AT&T SIM and it worked immediately. The 2.4" display shows basic info clearly, though I wish it had brightness adjustment. As a power bank, it charged my phone adequately in emergencies, though I wouldn't rely on this regularly given the heat concerns.

For $65/month plans? Hard pass if you're not a heavy user. But if you need reliable AT&T coverage with decent speed and can manage the thermal issues (maybe keep it near an AC vent?), it's not terrible for the price—just don't expect miracles.
