Outperforms Galaxy S7 by almost 2x

There is one generally incorrect conception that Wi-Fi is fast enough and that Wi-Fi is simply fast enough. The reality is that Fudzilla managed to prove that a Google Pixel phone powered by Snapdragon 821 SoC and Qualcomm Wi-Fi scores almost twice the performance of the Galaxy S7 phone.

Out testing included a Netgear Nighthawk X4S R 7800 router powered by a Qualcomm dual-core IPQ8065 Internet Processor clocked at 1.7 GHz on the infrastructure side and a PC acting as a server.

The router comes with 512 MB RAM and 128 MB flash. On the wireless side, it includes QCA9984 4x4 MU-MIMO 802.11ac radio and four Skyworks SE2623L 2.4 GHz power amp on the 2.4 GHz end and QCA9984 4x4 MU-MIMO 802.11ac radio and four RFMD RFPA5542 5 GHz PA power module for 5GHz support.
