The difference between portable wifi and mobile phone hotspots is that the two are transformed into WiFi in different ways, the two consume traffic in different ways, and the two experience is different.
1, the way to convert into WiFi: portable wifi is a device that converts wired networks, 3G networks or 4G networks into wifi signals.
The mobile phone hotspot refers to the mobile phone's reception of GPRS, 3G signal or 4G signal into wifi signal and then sent out, so that the mobile phone has become a WIFI hotspot.
2, the way of consuming traffic is different: portable wifi only provides traffic for the connected device, and there is no consumption in the background, even if it is consumed, it is a few KB. The mobile phone hotspot, not only the device connected to the hotspot is consuming traffic, but also the mobile phone's background hotspot program is also consuming traffic, and it is also consuming the phone's electricity.
3, the experience is different: portable wifi is generally similar to mobile phones. Especially USB, plug a mobile power can be. It's less battery than a cell phone hotspot. Mobile phone hotspots are also more convenient, but the background is more expensive, and is affected by mobile phone signals, if there is no terminal connected for a period of time, the hotspot will close itself, which is more troublesome.
It works the same way, no difference.

However, if you use it for a long time, it is recommended to buy a portable WIFI. The mobile phone is on the hot spot for a long time, which has a certain impact on the life of the mobile phone and the battery, and the network will be interrupted when the call comes, and the experience is poor.
The difference between portable WiFi and mobile phone hotspots is that the traffic consumed is different, portable WiFi relies on the device to convert the network in the computer into wireless signals for other wireless devices to use, and the mobile phone's hotspot is converted into a hotspot for other devices to use through the mobile phone's traffic, the mobile phone's hotspot is to pay the traffic fee, and the portable WiFi is not required to pay the traffic fee.
