T-Mobile is the fastest US carrier in Q2
T-Mobile vs Verizon vs AT&T Q2 speed tests
Which phones offer the fastest 5G download speeds?
The “modern chipset,” aka the X70 5G mode, of the custom Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy in Samsung’s Galaxy S23 Ultra offered the fastest 5G download speeds of 147 Mbps, followed by another Samsung flagship, the foldable Galaxy Z Fold 4.
Surprisingly, despite using a Samsung Exynos-based 5G modem, and a Tensor 2 chipset that has been shown to lag behind its flagship peers in terms of pure speed, the Google Pixel 7 Pro managed to come third among the phones sold in the US that will ensure their owners can connect to local 5G networks with the very quick 130 Mbps median download speeds.

Overall, the Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile 5G network speeds showed a decline
T-Mobile notched slower median download speeds in the June quarter, compared to the 165.22 Mbps median speeds it managed to clock in the March quarter. It’s not just the uncarrier, though, as Verizon Wireless and AT&T also witnessed a median speed drop, though their numbers are far slower than T-Mobile’s to begin with.
T-Mobile, however, also won in the other categories like latency, 5G service consistency, as well as video streaming performance, followed most often by Verizon, while both were trailed by AT&T.
