which is more efficient: wifi hotspot or usb tethering?

[martin_o]

hi, forum noob here. just wanted to ask a few questions.

i own a samsung galaxy tab 8.9 with unlimited data and a new galaxy nexus. i usually share my data from my tablet to my phone thru wifi hotspot. i wanted to know if bluetooth tethering is a lot efficient in data transfer and battery.

thanks a lot guys!

Welcome. Data transfer rates via BT are much slower. Battery wise, I would think both eat up just as much. If wifi hotspot is working, I say stay with it.

I would think wifi would consume more I've used them both and like the wifi better that the bt tether
