These are the ones who support it in 2026

We all want our devices (whether a mobile phone, TV or PC) to have the fastest possible Internet connection, especially through WiFi. Beyond what we have contracted, the key to this is in the technology that the device uses. He Wi-Fi 6 and WiFi 6E They have already been consolidated, and little by little we are seeing how they are doing it WiFi 7. There is already several operators that offer compatible routersbut, Is it any use if our devices can’t take full advantage of them?

The bottleneck has nothing to do with the router, but with the device that connects to it. It is necessary that it has a chip that can manage the new technologies introduced by WiFi 7. In simpler terms: if we have a premium mobile phone and it is not compatible with WiFi 7, We are not going to take advantage of this. For this reason, to clear your doubts, we bring you a list of all the mobile phones that are compatible with WiFi 7.

What improvements does WiFi 7 bring compared to previous generations?

WiFi 7, whose technical name is IEEE 802.11beit is not only a simple improvement in the maximum connection speed (although, of course, it does that too). Really, the main advantage of this new standard is how it manages bandwidth and traffic. It does this thanks to two new technologies: the so-called Multi-Link Operation (MLO) and the use of 320 MHz channels.

The first of these allows a device connect to multiple frequencies simultaneously (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz) and use the one that is most optimal for each moment or even combine several of them. In this way, your mobile phone, for example, will be able to use two different “roads” at the same time, which allows the stability of the connection to be improved and download data faster.

The 320 MHz channels, which are twice the size of WiFi 6E, offer much more space to transmit data. Theoretically, these are capable of offering orMaximum speed up to 46 Gbpsfigures that until not too long ago were unthinkable for a home WiFi network.

List of mobile phones with WiFi 7

The vast majority of phones sold in stores usually rely on WiFi 6 (802.11ax) or, with luck, WiFi 6E. As we have said above, mobile phones need new modems and connectivity chips to be compatible with WiFi 7 and, currently, these are mostly present in high-end mobile phones with Qualcomm, MediaTek or Samsung processors.

If you invest in a router with WiFi 7, it is ideal that you have devices that can take full advantage of this standard. For this reason, if you have one of them at home and are considering a new mobile, Ideally, you should invest in one that is compatible.

Although this is something that you can check in the list of mobile specifications, we leave you below the list of mobile phones that have WiFi 7 and that are sold in Spain:

There are a lot of options and even some affordable ones if we look at previous generations. WiFi 7 will be a widespread standard in a few years, but it still has a little way to go. Besides, It is a technology that requires a double update: both a compatible router and mobile phone are required.

What is the most sensible strategy? The ideal is to wait to renew the mobile. If your next phone supports WiFi 7, then it will be worth investing in a router that also offers this standard, but there is little point in doing it the other way around.
