Which Android specification feature should one look for when one is looking to buy an Android device that connects to mobile data internet at very fast speed like that of Nokia 7.2?


I compared to Android devices, in the same environment and under similar conditions. I compared Huawei Y6ii (the earlier original version that had Octa-core processor and unremovable battery) and Nokia 7.2

In terms of download speed, Nokia 7.2 was super fast, a 2GB movie download in Nokia 7.2 took on average one to two minutes, whereas a 2GB movie download on the Huawei took a very very long time. I wondered which feature is in Nokia 7.2 that makes it's internet so fast and it's not in the Huawei.

That's 150 - 300Mbps which is pretty fast for 4G. Or where you on WiFi?

That's easier if connected to WiFi, but harder on a cellular connection. Were both phones connected to the same network? Same tower? Same time? Did both have enough data on their plan to not be throttled or deprioritized ?

The Nokia 7.2 also has more 4G bands then the Huawei Y6ii, so even if you used the same carrier and tower it's possible the Nokia was using a better/faster band.

A phone that includes every 5G and 4G band that your carrier uses.
A carrier that has good reception and fast speeds in your area.
