Plus, there are additional AI capabilities built into the X70 modem that help the S23 choose more optimal channels. These features include support for every commercial 5G band - from 600MHz to 41GHz, PowerSave technology to reduce power consumption, and a 4x downlink carrier aggregation. However, the S23’s newer X70 modem has new features aimed at improving efficiency and at getting to that 10gbps limit more often. Ookla’s test methodology is interesting because the 5G modem in both the S23 series and Snapdragon versions of the S22 technically have the same maximum bandwidth potential of 10Gbps. More tech-focused countries like South Korea, Germany, and the United States had an edge in S23 5G bandwidth, but others did not. Overall, Ookla found that 5G performance of the S23 over the S22 was heavily dependent on the 5G infrastructure of each region. This list was made to see whether or not the S23’s newer Snapdragon X70 5G modem is faster than the S22’s (slightly older) X65 modem.

Ookla, the company that created, has put together an international list of 5G bandwidth results, comparing Galaxy S22 and S23 speeds from actual user reports in twelve different countries.
