Currently the 4G LTE-A is achievable by 150Mbps data download. This value is given in theory and in practice ends up being a bit lower. But if we ask ourselves: will any smartphone can achieve all this transfer rate
To answer this question some scholars of Netradar developed an extensive test with over 4500 smartphones for a variety of data networks around the world; and the result was quite unexpected.
The first place, ie, one who has attained the highest download speed was none other than Galaxy Note 3 . Secondly we have the acclaimed One OnePlus . The results show an average of the best five results to perform the download a bunch of apps. The smartphone Samsung won the tag 137.8Mbps , while the second place went to 137.4Mbps . The newly released iPhone 6 won the bronze medal in the test with 136.3Mbps .
“We’re talking real speeds people actually achieve when they use their phones. We can analyze the data obtained in the upload speeds and download, network latency and device testing are used and so on,” says Professor Jukka Manner, head Netradar project. What really surprises is the difference between the test results. Not always a more expensive smartphone means having a greater speed. “
The first Windows Phone to appear in the ranking is the Lumia 1520 in eighth position by obtaining a 30% lower speed the first place, the Note 3. And if we examine those who were below the 100Mbps’ll HTC One M8 and the iPhone 5S and 5C.
This is the second time that Netradar run the test. The first occurred in March and shows that the results have changed from then to now, where the LG G2 which was among the first now dropped to seventh-placed .
In the Upload test is a different story
The download results are only half the story. In today’s world of social sharing there is an increasing emphasis on the upload speed to accelerate everything to send photos to Flickr and Instagram , share video in Facebook or making a video call.
“I think the impact of 4G will be the most significant in upload speeds as they could be ten times faster than now. But if a device can not reach these speeds, so no matter how fast your network Mobile is “Manner said.
Looking upload speeds, the picture changes significantly. Notably OnePlus One, iPhone 6 and LG G3 are all outside the top 10 , despite reaching speeds between 41Mbps and 43Mbps . Instead, the Samsung Galaxy S5 leads the way with an upload speed of 47Mbps . It is closely followed by Galaxy S4 with LTE + (also known as I9506), LG G2 (with the G3 surprisingly falling to 32nd place with 42.8Mbps), Nokia Lumia 920 and Samsung Galaxy Note 3 .
Unfortunately these values are beyond our reality, which results in something almost utopian to imagine terms like smartphones Note 3 reaching over 130Mbps here in Brazil . But, anyway, shows an interesting surprise in the results, since it was expected that the big boys in 2014 spearheaded the list.
