User experience on any internet connection is affected by devices, in addition to all other features of a specific access link. According to a recent study by Opensignal, “Samsung users experienced faster download speeds than Apple and Huawei users in 35 percent of countries, across 40 countries analyzed.”
High-end devices seem to be more able to take advantage of network improvements, including bandwidth across more frequency bands, for example. “Because high-tier models include more network technologies, they are more sensitive to mobile network improvements and are, in effect, a leading indicator of what the mobile network experience will be in the future,” says Opensignal.
“High-tier smartphone users experienced latencies 18 percent--or 11.1 milliseconds--faster than low-tier smartphone users and 14 percent faster even than mid-tier smartphone users,” Opensignal says.
“Notably, in Thailand speeds measured on hightier smartphones were 4.3 times as fast as those measured on low-tier smartphones; in Canada and the U.A.E, 2.9 times; and in Australia, Singapore and Switzerland, 2.6, 2.5 and 2.5 times respectively,” says Opensignal.
In the U.S. market, for example, Samsung users experienced download speeds 8.2 Mbps faster than iPhone users. In Norway, Samsung users saw speeds 12 Mbps faster than Huawei users, and 14 Mbps faster than Apple iPhone users, Opensignal says.
