In a recent report released by Ookla, it has been revealed that Samsung's latest flagship smartphones, the Galaxy S24 lineup, showcased faster median 5G performance compared to the iPhone 15 series in the majority of countries tested. The findings were shared by Ookla in a detailed blog post, capturing data from February 1 to March 24 across Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, Europe, and North America.

Ookla's study compared the performance of the Galaxy S24 lineup (along with earlier Samsung devices) to the iPhone 15 smartphones. According to the report, the Samsung Galaxy S24 family demonstrated a statistically significant lead in median 5G download speeds in seven out of the 15 countries included in the study.

Although the iPhone 15 family did secure first place in median 5G speed in one country, Ookla emphasized that the speed differences between the Galaxy S24 devices and the iPhone 15 series were relatively minor in some of the countries analyzed. However, taking all the countries into account, the Galaxy S24 devices consistently outperformed the iPhone 15 smartphones.

In the United States, for instance, the Galaxy S24 devices exhibited a median speed that was 34 Mbps faster than their iPhone 15 counterparts. Similarly, in Hong Kong, the S24 devices had a median speed of over 20 Mbps faster, positioning the iPhone 15 family in fourth place. Another close competition showcased the S24 family narrowly surpassing iPhone 15 devices by a mere 9 Mbps in the United Arab Emirates. In the United Kingdom, Samsung's new smartphones boasted a median speed advantage of 18 Mbps.
