The latest flagship smart phones are not only faster in performance but they are getting faster in 4G speeds as well. The latest Snapdragon 810 processor from Qualcomm is getting support for faster LTE Category 9.
This allows it to have download speeds up to 450Mbps which is made possible with Carrier Aggregation (3x 20MHz) across FDD and LTE networks. Qualcomm’s LTE-Advanced modem is also backward compatible with various mobile standards including GSM/EDGE, CDMA1x/EVO, TD-SCDMA and WCDMA/HSPA+.
This exceeds the current Cat 6 LTE standards that support download speeds up to 300Mbps. Now if only our local networks are capable of touching at least Cat 4 (150Mbps) LTE speeds in real life.
