Wi-Fi 6 Compatible Smartphones : Here’s a list of supported devices

Wi-Fi 6 compatible smartphones have started hitting the market in the past few months. If you plan to buy a smartphone, you will obviously look for the latest specifications. And, Wi-Fi 6 is the newest version of wireless networking, which focuses on improving the network, when a bunch of devices is connected. 

The latest upgrade in the Wi-Fi standard offers you multiple advantages, including increased battery life, higher data transfer speed, and better performance in congested areas. 

We’ve already shared complete details on the Wi-Fi 6 standard. Now, we’ll be mentioning the Wi-Fi 6 compatible phones. 

With Wi-Fi 6, a simpler naming convention has been adopted by the Wi-Fi Alliance, which allows users to understand the Wi-Fi version their devices are supporting.

Before jumping to the latest Wi-Fi 6 compatible phones, here’s how to check whether your device supports Wi-Fi 6 or not

How to check the Wi-Fi version of your smartphone?

It’s worth noting that you would not see Wi-Fi 6, or Wi-Fi 5 labels, instead, you would see the older, weird naming scheme that specifies the Wi-Fi version.

So, let’s here are the older and the newer naming conventions that will help you easily spot the Wi-Fi version.

Advertisements




Wi-Fi version Old name New name
First Generation WiFi 802.11.b WiFi 1
Second Generation WiFi 802.11.a WiFi 2
Third Generation WiFi 802.11.g WiFi 3
Fourth Generation WiFi 802.11.n WiFi 4
Fifth Generation WiFi 802.11.ac WiFi 5
Sixth Generation WiFi 802.11.ax WiFi 6

Currently, there’s no direct method that will let you know the supported Wi-Fi versions, right from your smartphone. Therefore, you cannot know this information directly from the phone’s settings. Rather, you’ll have to search for the complete specifications of your smartphone.

You can look for your smartphone’s specifications through one of the following sources:

  • Your phone manufacturer’s official website.
  • Google Search Engine Result Pages.
  • Some popular platforms for smartphone specs like GSMArena.

Let’s understand this with the help of an example. We’ll be checking the supported WiFi versions on iPhone 11.

Is the iPhone 11 Wi-Fi 6 compatible?

In case you want to check if your iPhone 11 is Wi-Fi 6 compatible or not, follow these simple steps:

1. Head to gsmarena.com

2. Type iPhone 11 in the search box and select iPhone 11.

WiFi compatibility check step 13. Scroll down to the COMM/Network section.

4. You’ll see the Wi-Fi versions under the WLAN heading.

WiFi compatibility check step 2

For the iPhone 11, you’ll see that it supports Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax. This means the iPhone 11 is compatible with Wi-Fi 1,2,3,4,5,6. Please note that the presence of the suffix “ax” indicates your phone is Wi-Fi 6 compatible.

You can follow the same steps to know the Wi-Fi compatibility of any Android, iOS, and OS smartphone.

Also, we would like to mention that a smartphone can support multiple Wi-Fi versions, just as they can support more than one Wi-Fi band. 

Is Wi-Fi 6 backward compatible?

Here comes a common question that you would be thinking of right now- do you need a WiFi 6 router if you have a WiFi 6 compatible smartphone? 

Talking about the Wi-Fi 6 backward compatibility, the Wi-Fi 6 enabled devices are compatible with the previous versions as well. Therefore, you can connect a WiFi 6 smartphone to a WiFi 5 router and vice versa. Currently, there’s no need to replace your WiFi 5 routers in case you buy a WiFi 6 smartphone. But in order to take full advantage of that Wi-Fi 6 band on your device, you’ll need a Wi-Fi 6 router.

Advertisements




Is Wi-Fi 6 hardware dependent?

Now, you might be thinking about whether WiFi 6 depends on the hardware or not? The answer is YES. Along with the software updates, WiFi 6 is dependent on hardware as well.

Therefore, to reap the maximum benefits of the WiFi 6 Technology, it’s important to upgrade to a Wi-Fi 6 compatible smartphone and a WiFi 6 router

Wi-Fi 6 Compatible Smartphones 

The adoption of Wi-Fi 6 technology is in the early stages. Therefore, you might not see a wide range of smartphones with Wi-Fi 6 compatibility.
