WHY YOU NEED A FASTER PHONE<br />
Annoyed by your phone’s data speeds? Your phone may be the problem.<br />
Driving around the country for Fastest Mobile Networks, we used the fastest<br />
phone in America, the Samsung Galaxy S8. It’s the first phone with the<br />
Qualcomm X16 modem, which brings together three key technologies—threecarrier<br />
aggregation, 256 QAM encoding, and 4x4 MIMO antennas—to offer<br />
what carriers call “gigabit LTE.” (It isn’t truly gigabit, but that’s the brand.)<br />
Using Ookla’s Speedtest Intelligence tools, we dug into a huge, crowdsourced<br />
data set to see how much a faster phone matters. It matters a lot: The Galaxy S8<br />
has double the download speeds of the Apple iPhone 6 on AT&T, Sprint, and<br />
T-Mobile. Remember, this is data from the same day—the major variable is the<br />
phone the testers are using.
