Which is the fastest phone around that supports 5G? According to recent testing and worldwide user feedback from Ookla, it is the Samsung Galaxy S24 series that stands above all else.

The lineup of new Galaxy AI-sporting smartphones, which includes a standard, Plus, and Ultra model, scored top across all metrics – download speeds, upload speeds, and latency.

Other devices that featured in Ookla’s testing Apple iPhone 15 series, with the rest of the top four completed by the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S22 series, showcasing Samsung’s dominance when it comes to supporting 5G.

Whether 5G is a critical aspect when consumers are considering flagship phones, however, is up for debate.
