Benchmarking the Global 5G Experience — June 2023
The 5G experience continues to evolve. More markets are launching 5G. More spectrum is becoming available and that additional spectrum is boosting capacity and improving users’ experience with faster speeds, and a better video and gaming experience. In this latest global 5G benchmark, Opensignal quantifies how the real-world 5G experience compares.
More usable spectrum boosts the 4G and 5G experience
In this new global analysis, Opensignal found that with higher amounts of mobile spectrum users see much faster average download and upload speeds — both for 4G and 5G networks — with download speed increases of up to 2.6 times on higher spectrum bandwidth with 4G, and by up to 1.7 times on 5G. Furthermore, the impact is seen on user experience with video and gaming applications, with 4G again seeing a more prominent increase.

However, while 5G download speeds used to also be more consistent than 4G back in 2022, now there is little difference with 4G, likely because of rising 5G adoption.
