The new smartphone, Galaxy S22 Ultra, marked a download speed of 320 Mbps, which allows us to see the potential of the new network on the ground, benefiting various activities of daily life.
Just over six months after the official launch in Chile of the first 5G network in Latin America, its deployment in the country is progressing at an accelerated pace. While the telephone companies announce the expansion of their networks to all regions of the country, the latest statistics from Subtel indicate that between January and April 545,323 daily connections were registered, equivalent to the total number of accesses that the 4G network achieved in 12 months. .
In this scenario, the market for compatible mobile devices also grows in options, and Samsung has been incorporating a series of new 5G-enabled smartphones, in different ranges, in order to make this new technology available to as many users as possible. And among the latest releases is the brand’s top of the line, the Galaxy S22 Ultra, which was subjected to 5G download speed tests, in which it reached 320 Mbps down.
‘Knowing the performance of the equipment in downloads in 5G is a key piece of information for users interested in getting the most out of this technology. This speed standard established by the Galaxy S22 Ultra will considerably improve people’s experience and make it more fluid in different dimensions, whether at work, study, entertainment or live communication,” says Marcelo Fuster, manager of Smartphones at Samsung Electronics Chile.
Benefits in multiple areas
The executive explains that where the benefits of higher download speeds with 5G will be most appreciated will be in streaming viewing. Fuster says that ‘today, in most of our houses, the average speeds are well below 320 Mbps and yet we generally watch series on Netflix and other services without problems. The higher the transfer rate, the more data we can download in less time. A user of a phone like the S22, with its peak 320 Mbps transfer rate, will have much faster file downloads, streaming without any stuttering or delays, and even better resolution at all times. ‘.
Another improvement that users will be able to see in their usual activities thanks to 5G networks is a greater degree of fluidity to move from some devices to others without delay. ‘In the case of Samsung, we are promoting the integrated ecosystem of smartphones with TVs, smart watches and even appliances, so the arrival of 5G will further improve the ease of connection between these devices, a direct benefit to make life more easy for users’, says Fuster.
Likewise, different areas of society are expected to benefit from the installation of 5G in Chile, one of which, according to the Samsung executive, is education.
‘The contingency of recent years has shown us the usefulness of having good speed and very good connectivity so that educational processes are maintained, despite the distance or the fact that it is impossible to do them in person. Projecting the challenges of education already having 5G networks, and also with devices such as tablets, monitors and smart TVs prepared to take advantage of this download speed, is great news for the educational community,’ concludes Marcelo Fuster from Samsung.
