Using Cloudflare DNS (1.1.1.1) on Samsung Galaxy devices while connected to mobile data can help improve internet speed, enhance privacy, and offer better security. Since mobile networks do not allow direct DNS configuration, the best way to achieve this is by using Private DNS.

✅ Faster Internet Browsing – Reduces latency and speeds up website loading. ✅ Increased Privacy – Prevents ISPs from tracking your browsing activity. ✅ Better Security – Protects against phishing and malicious websites. ✅ Works on Any Network – No need to configure DNS for each mobile carrier separately.
