It is also the fastest-ever Exynos modem, reaching download speeds of up to 14.79Gbps, thanks to support NR dual-connectivity for FR1 and FR2 bandwidths (3GPP Release 17). It is claimed to be a first-of-its-kind solution that can aggregate five carriers (3x 100MHz + 2x 40MHz) for a total theoretical download speed of up to 11.2Gbps with 1,024 QAM on just the FR1 frequency band. Using FR1 is said to be more efficient and reliable than using the FR2 frequency band.
