Is this any better than just doing Hotspot with wifi bridge? I just have my hotspot on my pixel for my devices to connect to. Pixel itself is connected to whatever "public wifi" is there.

Does that actually work? I don't think you can both have hotspot on and be connected to another network.

Most newer (or at least new + expensive) phones can share their wifi connection via hotspot. 2.4gh only though I think.

Do you know what’s the technical term to search if a phone has that capability? Asking for an iPhone

Like WiFi tethering?

Yes, it has actually worked starting with the Pixel 3.

It's called Dual-Band Simultaneous or "STA+AP" (Station + Access Point) concurrency that can bridge an existing wifi connection to an access point to other devices via a hotspot.

Works fine, yup.

Yes it works. Now you can also tether via USB. Both of them have worked flawlessly for me recently.

It seems to be only on certain devices feature(?): on my Pixel it worked, Samsung phone just says "sorry, can't do that".
