5G smartphones are finally here, and with the actual commercial release nearing the shores, carriers all around the world are starting to test the new network before the global rollout of 5G. Among the first smartphones with 5G support, we have the recently released Samsung Galaxy S10 5G. And according to some tests performed by South Korea’s SK Telecom the speed and gain with the new network will be massive.
In a recent press release, the Telecom company announced that they were able to hit the whooping speed of 2.6Gbps with the S10 5G on its networks thanks to the 5G-LTE aggregation technology. The 5G network reached 1.5Gpbs, while the rest came from the good and old LTE network. According to SK, they were able to download 10GB worth of content in just 30 seconds.
