Apple and Samsung dominate the 5G speed chart in the U.S.
The Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max is the fastest 5G phone in the states
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 had the third fastest 5G speed in the country at 162.50Mbps (15.17Mbps upload). Surprisingly, the Samsung Galaxy S21+ 5G beat out the Galaxy S22 Ultra 140.06Mbps to 137.42Mbps down and 14.77Mbps to 14.48Mbps up. Keep in mind that this includes nationwide 5G which is easier to find, but doesn’t deliver the speeds that mid-band 5G and mmWave 5G do. The latter is almost impossible to find. 5G Mid-band signals are easier to connect to and are up to 10 times faster than LTE.

The Huawei P40 5G was next as the photography-based flagship from 2020 tallied a median 5G download speed of 344.41Mbps edging out the 344.23Mbps delivered by the Huawei Mate 30 5G from 2019.
