    It could, but realistically not much in most cases. Only if you’re on the very edge of losing a signal entirely.

    The specific network chip and device antenna design could play a significant part on reception, but realistically there won’t be much of a difference in the real world, lots of research and development has already gone into the technologies we use now.

    Higher end phones will often support more frequency bands, and thus support more signals, but no carrier uses all of them. Just make sure the phone you pick supports the bands your carrier uses.

    Now when new technologies come out, that’s when you can see real world significant differences between devices because there isn’t as much real world experience with a new technology yet, but everything out now and in the near future has already gone through that phase.
