The maximum sampling rate for GPS I can achieve on my Android phone (Samsung Galaxy S5) is 1Hz with the following setting:

locManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0, 0, this);

Is it possible to boost it towards 10Hz? Is it limited by hardware or Android software? I know that GPS chips can go up to 10Hz.

Similar question was asked here. However, it was 3 years ago (maybe the situation has changed): getting the highest GPS update rate from the GPS Hardware in my Android

Keep in mind that the usual accuracy of GPS positioning can be between 4 - 7 meters.

With this dispersion in the localization rather than having many measures what is interesting is to have good algorithms for example to calculate the distance traveled.

Garmin GLO GPS/GLONASS rate is 10Hz max (depending on hosting environment). This device is bluetooth only; has no display. You should pay $100 max.
