3G and HSDPA

My mates android phone gets HSDPA and my iphone 4S only goes to 3G, so my question is, if we were to do a speed test when his phone is displaying HSDPA, does that mean his download/upload speeds WILL be faster, or is it possible that i could still get better results than him even if my phone isnt HSDPA compatible?

We are both on different networks(me three and hes on tmobile/tesco)

P.s would have done a speed test but he didnt have speedtest installed at the time

The 4S can support HSDPA+ up to 14.4Mbps IIRC. iPhones don't display the 3G technology they're using at the time, it'll be 3G, E or the circle for GPRS. Tesco runs on the O2 network BTW. Three support HSDPA so give a speedtest a go and see how fast you can go!

Your 4s should do hsdpa which incidentally is a 3G technology

Ahh ok, i totally forgot that the iphone can do HSDPA but doesnt actually display it. Ive never looked into it as my internet is always pretty fast.

As long as its fast it doesn't really matter. You can dial *3001#12345#* to view detailed information, but I don't actually understand any of it.

If your seeing full speed on the iPhone 4S it should be close to 10mbps, usually 9.something.
