Most of the major smartphone manufacturers have now made the jump to 5G – and mobile analytics company OpenSignal has set out to discover to what extent the switch is actually making devices faster.
Comparing the five leading smartphone companies that are shipping 5G-enabled devices – Google, Apple, LG, OnePlus and Samsung – OpenSignal found that a race to make handsets faster is effectively on and is set to further accelerate in 2021.
To understand how users are impacted by 5G capabilities, OpenSignal’s researchers looked at average download speeds in 5G areas for owners of different smartphone brands, and compared them to average 4G download speeds for those brands. Across the five device manufacturers that were studied, notably faster speeds were consistently found – with some speed boosts more striking than the others.
