Galaxy S23 was launched in the first quarter of 2023 and emerged as the one of the best flagship smartphones with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, enhanced battery and camera system. Now the Galaxy S23 can achieve download rates up to 3.3 Gbps through T-Mobile’s 5G network in the US. T-Mobile stated that Carrier Aggregation technology speeds up 5G in a better way. Mobile Network Operators(MNOs) can combine the capabilities of radio cells at different frequency allocations through the use of a software feature called carrier aggregation in radio access networks and user devices which in turn improves the end user experience.
Here four sub – 6GHz 5G bands, two 2.5GHz channels, one 1,900MHz channel, and two 600MHz channels. With these factors the download rate of 3.3 Gbps is possible along with 5G standalone(SA) network. A 5G network that combines a 5G radio access network (RAN) and a 5G core is known as a 5G standalone network since it was created from the ground up with 5G in mind. The advantages of 5G SA-like quicker download rates and more capacity will be increased. The carrier tested the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 powered Galaxy S23 with the Snapdragon X70 5G modem, and downloads files at high rates.
T-Mobile has been under the development of carrier aggregation for 5G networks for a long time and it was last year when it succeeded in coming up with the 3 Gbps download rate. It intends to surpass the existing mmWave 5G networks, which are provided by AT&T and Verizon in the US. In order to offer next-generation services and a superior user experience, 5G Carrier Aggregation is expected to significantly contribute as the implementation of 5G SA networks picks up speed.
