Best Nexus S review I've seen, but I do have one question. I just assumed the Nex S had hspa+ when I bought it but its stated often in this article that it doesnt. Ive done speedtests in a 4G area mutiple times and I consistantly get 5-7 mb/s which is the same my G2 gets in the same area. So is it just my G2 has a higher potential speed assuming perfect conditions?

yes, the G2 has a higher speed potential the Nexus S supports HSPA 7.2
Exactly. Speed depends not only on your hardware but how much bandwidth is pushed through the towers. So if your area is only allocated 7 mb/s, that's what you'll get even if your phone can do 21 mb/s. Really the only thing that type of speed is good for is tethering. Our browsers will do just fine on 1 mb/s. Now, to go read that review...
The review is alright but I do not like how much focus was on benchmarks, hspa+, and HD video recording.

I ran a speed test on my Nexus S against my brothers Evo "4G", which was on 4G...and my Nexus S came out on top, both times:

The wifi test were taken on his 4G connection while tethering, we tested his connection directly from his phone and it was the same speed

and people are *****ing about the lack of HSPA+...you guys forget that in recent tests Tmobile came out on top in speed
May I offer my own review -

for the first time since ive had sprint im getting the speed they've always claimed but ive never reached...im just wondering if anyone in and around pearland can tell me if they have similar speeds....i just know this isnt going to last but still a bit excited my 3g has never reached 3 or even crept past 1
I got 9 down in beverly hills yesterday with 4G, that was cool.
lol im so excited because well i have never seen 3Mbps on 3g on sprint, ive gotten 889kbps at most, i now this wont hold up for very long because if it could my 3g here wouldnt be so shoddy...this whole town is saturated in 4g and i cant get it on my evo for more then a min before losing it and my neighbor who has a franklin 4g stick gets 2bars and 500kbps on 4g...its ridiculous
I used to get 3 mbs down speed at the beginning of last year in the St. Louis area in 3g but its slower now but 4g is about 4.95 down now.

The speed test app isn't very accurate, download xtreme labs test app, its a bit more accurate, speakeasy website I think is better then speedtest.net and just like I figured my 3Mbps over 3g is back down to 600kbps
Best I ever got on 3G was about 2.6mbps. Got a little over 7 on 4G the other day in downtown Houston. Those 10+ speeds are awesome.

HOLY CRAPO!
Is that with 4G full bars?? thats bad, i get that with 3G in philadelphia, in center city I reached 9mbs early in the morning, then I average 4mbs-7mbs in 4G!!
The 3g in my area always runs at 1.5 to 2.3 but its a small town with not many sprint users.... Sadly I'll probably never see 4g

damn im lucky when i hit 1 Mbit/sec!
I can't wait until Lubbock gets 4G or I get to go back home to MD.
anyone else in 4G land experiencing the same problem?

Can you do this repeatably? I think this is probably a case of bad sample data. 4G speeds tend to fluctuate *wildly* because of a.) environmental impacts of a 2.5GHz signal (ever tried to measure actual WiFi performance on a laptop over 802.11n? You'll see what I mean - no two tests are remotely the same) and b.) Network congestion, usage, and number of devices, and c.) Signal strength. If you're indoors, don't even think about comparing 4G speeds, as the 2.5GHz frequency is terrible at penetrating buildings.
In order for your claim to be valid, it would be useful to have time-dependent data, and at least say, 10-20 test results. Then, the same after the update would be useful as well. I've seen 4G speeds on my Evo be 400kbit/s one day and 3.9Mbit/s another day, same place. My Epic 4G has given me speeds in excess of 5Mbit, but later tests didn't get the same performance.
I'm not saying that there's no chance you're right, but I'd say that *much* more data is needed. Try it again tomorrow, at different times, in different places. See how it stacks up. I'm just gonna put this as bad data. (Also, reboot your phone just in case you have a data hog running.)
Yeah you really can't tell anything by one or two tests. I just ran three tests and I got download speeds of 6300, 3200 and 5300. Uploads varied from 430kbps to 1300kbps.
I'm in a fairly poor signal area right now but even in good signal areas it can vary a lot. At work I get anywhere from 6000kbps to 9000kbps.
i just did 3 tests as well from inside my room with all but 1 bar and i am also in Brooklyn (a area that has 4g but it's not officially live yet) and my results were...
Download/Upload
7638/1142
6970/1128
8009/1119
I don't know what they were before but speeds like that are just fine for me i think it was just a random mess up for you
My 4g is fine.
1 bar

Same here!!!
I'm good to go on all fronts. Uploads/downloads are good on both 3G and 4G with an increase on 3G ups and an increase in overall 4G speeds.

My girl just got a D2G at my suggestions (since she's on verizon and NEEDED a keyboard and didn't really like the Merge).
I have run her 3G speed test a few times outside and she can't even get to 1mbps? That doesn't seem right to me. I'm on t-mobile '4g' and getting a minimum of 3mbps (up to 6mpbs), and while that's at the low end of '4g' it's trouncing her speeds. I thought 3g speeds were better than that, and I expected her to get 3mpbs on the high end and 1.5mbps on the low end.
We live in Albany, the capital city of NY... and have 3g coverage from all major carriers.
Anybody getting better speeds?

Yes, she turned her phone into a vagina.
Here in the big city of Topeka,KS I usually get around 1.5 mbps with my D2. Just ran a speed test on the iphone I tote around for work and it was a blazing 0.55 mbps.
Here in Central NJ I usually just leave it on wireless, but I just checked 3G speed and got a disappointing 0.87Mbps.
I'll be turning wireless back on now. Ah.. much better!
Ive got speeds of 1.5mb to 3.5
In in the cap city better known as Albany too and get good speeds over what you recorded either......might be something to let vzw know or try switching towers, might help.

I got 6.1 down and 3.9 up.
7.2Mbps down and 5.76Mbps up are the NS's maximums.
Thanks ............
not to incite violence in this thread, but if you say you need more than 7.2 and 5.whatthekever then you need to jump off a cliff

I noticed my phone seems to stay on UTMS. Not sure why. Though my phone number also shows unknown...
One of the fastest I've recorded around here. Might try it downtown tomorrow to see if it can go even higher.

it may be slower, if you think about it its a higher trafficked area
here's my results. mine usually sticks to umts but occasionally switches to hspa if I'm in the right area (modaco r6 replaces the 3g with an H). usually doesn't increase the speed noticeably though.
dl - 4160
ul - 1595
p - 100ms

Doesn't mean a thing, networks send out generic SIMs now, and that's why it doesn't have a number programmed in

my highest was:
4818 Down, and 2829 up
My fastest have been 4.2D and 1.8U
My ns at home has gotten up to 6 on bionix and 1.8 up. My former mytouch4g would pull 8 and some change.
I would love if it were possible to hack some driver to pop the radio up to 21mbps. Don't know if its possible but I've heard the radio for 7.2 is the same as 21mbps and that its just modulation that changes. Might explain why the vibrant plus will have the 21mbps capability.

I have to admit, after ordering my Nexus 5x i was a little worried thinking the lack of Band 12 til T-Mobile/Google gets it sorted out was going to give me crap signal. Boy was I wrong! [emoji1] Obviously this is all relative to location, but I couldn't be happier with these results and willing to wait for official Band 12 support.

While I don't see speeds that high, I do agree on being pleasantly surprised with the 5X speeds on T-Mobile. I get considerable higher speeds than I did on my Moto X 2014, and LTE signal in a couple places the Moto would drop to edge. Considering Moto has a reputation for having some of the best radios, I was happy to see a noticeable signal increase with the 5X.
T-Mo user here as well. I have to say this is the strongest radio I have had in a phone yet. I even get a signal in my basement without band 12. Well done LG.
I´ve seem similar results on att. Much faster than any previous phone i've had.
It's also nice how the phone can take voice calls over LTE without falling back to H or H+. Can browse the web wile on hold
