Query for the nerds here regarding digipics

Some of it is due to the much faster processor in the new phone.

Or processors. New compression algorithums on the jpegs? Could be a number of things.

The new phone could have better image compression. The size of the image, and thus it's transfer speed, also depends on image. My camera does not produce the same size image file for each and every photo. The image size depends on what was photographed.

The faster up load speed could be for quite a few reasons but most likely is faster network speed.

Combination of your new phone, updated cell towers and your DSL connection, etc. Just like in the old days, when TV switched to broadcasts "in living color" and you still had a black and white TV, you still only got a black and white picture since that is all it could produce. When you got your color TV, then you got both color and black and white broadcasts. Same with your phone, the slowest link is what regulates the speed of sending a photo. Cell phones were originally for conversations which use very little bandwidth. Sending photos takes much more bandwidth, etc. to send it over the signal, so even though your cell towers may have been updated, your old phone took much longer to send the photo since it was most likely the slowest link in the chain.
