Today, T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) announced a groundbreaking achievement, reaching record downlink speed using Nokia’s cutting edge 5G RAN equipment. The testing was conducted on both a commercial Samsung Galaxy S25 and a non-commercial mobile test device leveraging the newly announced Qualcomm X85 5G Modem-RF, all on America’s largest and fastest 5G network.\nThis press release features multimedia.

In a second test, offering a glimpse into the next evolution of 5G Advanced, T-Mobile pushed the boundaries even further by leveraging the brand-new Qualcomm X85 5G Modem-RF on a mobile test device, achieving peak speeds of 6.3 Gbps.\n\nBoth tests combined low-band and mid-band spectrum on the Un-carrier’s 5G Standalone (5G SA) production network, delivering blazing-fast performance. To put these mind-blowing speeds into perspective, you could stream every Super Bowl ever played in 8K resolution—simultaneously. Once again, the Un-carrier sets the standard in 5G innovation.\n\n“With 6-Carrier Aggregation, we’re not just adding another feather to our cap—we’re accelerating the future of 5G Advanced,” said Ulf Ewaldsson, President of Technology, T-Mobile. “This milestone isn’t just about speed; it’s about building a network that delivers exactly what our customers need—unparalleled performance, reliability, and innovation.”\n\nT-Mobile’s record-breaking speeds were achieved in real-world field conditions on our production network, demonstrating both reliability and practicality. By leveraging its unique mix of owned spectrum bands (2.5GHz, PCS, AWS and 600MHz), T-Mobile has delivered resul...
