5 best smartphones for LTE network: Samsung Galaxy Note 5 leading
Many smartphones these days are launched with 4G LTE support. However, not all of them work really fast on those network connectivity. Especially for people who are on regular travelling or live in areas with unstable internet (like, hmm, in the Philippines).
Therefore, one of the question being frequently asked is, which are the best smartphones for LTE. That is also the reason why I came up with this article about 5 of the best you can find in our market today.
In order to find out the best 5 smartphones that support fast and smooth network, a test has been carried out. I found this piece of information about the test on Androidauthority, and here is their exact quoting about the test
N.B. All handsets were tested using the same network – EE, which supports speeds of up to 300Mbps in the London area – and at the exact same time. The results below are based on a sample of 52 tests in 11 different areas spanning a distance of 170 miles.
Some of the areas being test include but not limited to Network Switch Rate, Antenna Strength, LTE Speed test etc. Here are the results posted on the blog
1. Network Switching rate (The lower is the better)
2. Average speed (The faster is the better)
3. Final result – ranking
After processing different test results, Androidauthority came up with the convincing final ranking. Base on the table above, you can see that Galaxy Note 5 from Samsung is the best device to support LTE network, follow by, surprisingly, LG G4 and Moto X Style. Ranked 4th and 5th in the list are iPhone 6S and Sony Xperia Z5 respectively.
However, please keep in mind that, although there is the best and second best, all 5 devices in this list are among the most premium smartphones in our market these days. Moreover, the result is quite close, so I would say they are fairly similar to each other in terms of the ability to support LTE network.
Take a look, and share to those this piece of information may help. Because good connection on a mobile phone can always make your busy life easier.
