    I have just received my new Passport SE. Despite I have got the black and white models, I bought the new one because its aesthetics and, supposed, better signal reception. First tests show no improvement in signal strength compared to the black model (the white one has worse results). Has anyone made some comparison tests between old models and SE?.

    Why would it have better signal reception?

    They're saying they moved the Antenna inside on this model to help with reception.

    I honestly can't tell any difference in signal strength between this one and my red and black Passports.

    My red used to get less signal in my house, the SE is way more bars, I used to get disconnected with my red inside my house but not the SE.

    I had great reception the first two days. Two bars of LTE like any other phone I use at home. After that no LTE only 4 G. Went to AT&T and got a new SIM card and they put the IMEI number in the system and the signal was great again. Two days later no LTE again. I put the SIM card in another phone and that phone had LTE not sure what is going on but probably will return it and wait for the slider.

    Nobody else worried about signal strength?. BlackBerry is supposed to be one of the best...

    Not sure about older models but I'm getting amazing signal strength in general.

    I bought another SE after returning my original one. I also have an AT&T Z10 IMEI number. Hopefully I won't have the same issues as before.
