As per the report published on November 17, the iPhone 16 series has emerged as the winner with a clear advantage over the Galaxy S24 series and previous generations of Apple iPhones.

As per the Ookla report, the iPhone 16 series has a clear edge over the Galaxy S24 (review) series in 5G download speeds in 11 different countries, including India, spread across Asia Pacific, Europe, Latin America, and North America. While the median 5G speed varies from country to country, Apple’s latest iPhone is ahead of Samsung Galaxy S24 in most countries with just a few exceptions, such as the Philippines and Brazil.
In India, the iPhone 16 series offers an average 5G download speed of 261 Mbps, while the Galaxy S24 offers 251 Mbps. However, the Galaxy S24 seems to have slightly better upload speeds on the 5G network at 19 Mbps, while the same is limited to 17 Mbps on iPhone 16. Coming to latency, the iPhone 16 again offers slightly better performance than the Galaxy S24 series or the iPhone 15/14 series.

Although the iPhone tops the 5G download speed charts across the world, the difference between the top-tier Android smartphone of the year, Galaxy S24, and Apple’s latest flagship phone, iPhone 16, is very negligible, where a normal user might not see much of a difference on a day-to-day basis, unless one is considering the absolute performance and wants nothing less than the best.
However, these numbers will change with the new wave of Android smartphones, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC packing the Snapdragon X80 5G modem, which will outperform the Snapdragon X75 on the iPhone 16 both in terms of networking speeds and latency.
