I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite, which according to the internet should be able to support speeds up to 1.2Ghz. I have a contract in which my provider should give me access to 500mbs on wi-fi but this is the most I ever got with my phone, I normally get 280mbs or lower. Is this considered normal, despite being a wireless speed test?

Thanks

On Wifi 5 with a 2x2 stream you should see around 300-400 Mbps on a speedtest with a strong signal.

PHY rate (the 1.2 Gbps you mentioned) is different from the throughput you'll get, and they also usually lie about that number by adding both the 2.4ghz and 5ghz bands together.
