From February 1st through March 24th of this year, Ookla determined that the 5G speeds delivered to U.S. smartphone users was at least 232.46 Mbps. This speed, in Ookla’s words, was “impressive.”
The Galaxy S24 series beat out the iPhone 15 line to be the fastest device family running 5G in the U.S.
The Galaxy S24 series also outperformed last year’s Galaxy S23 line and 2022’s Galaxy S22 series in the states. The reason why the Galaxy S24 line outperforms the other device families in the U.S might be due to the 5G modem chip used on the series. In the U.S., the 2024 Galaxy flagship line uses the Snapdragon X75 5G modem which is Qualcomm’s latest and greatest high-end modem chip.
Both the iPhone 15 and the U.S. Galaxy S23 families employ the Snapdragon X70 5G modem chip which would certainly give the Galaxy S24 line an advantage over the other phones. The Galaxy S22 line was equipped with the Snapdragon X65 5G modem.
