A variety of models and manufacturers make up the top-performing 5G smartphone models, according to a new report from Ookla. The performance of various devices varies greatly by country, and Ookla discovered that there was a statistical tie in performance in several of the nations for which it conducted studies. Apple and Samsung appear to be in the lead when it comes to smartphones that give users the fastest 5G speeds. A device needs to have at least 0.5% market share and a minimum sample size of 100 devices in a particular market to be included in Ookla’s analysis. Ookla’s analysis, which was based on data gathered in the third quarter of 2022, may not have included some of the models because of differing launch dates by nation. In this article, we’ll examine the fastest 5G devices that are popular in the US, China, and the UK.

The iPhone 14 Pro Max tops the list in the US, according to the Ookla analysis, with average download speeds of 177.21 Mbps and 175.08 Mbps.
