A couple things. The RBR750 has wan link aggregation. But that allows the router to get >1gig speeds from the modem.
If if you're using wan port aggregation, you don't have the ability to lan port aggregate as well. So your hardwired devices won't hit >1gig.
In terms of wireless, alot depends on your device. You say your phone is "capable of gigabit". What phone is it? As well as what link speed are you connecting at? (hint, link speed is not the same as actual thoroughput)
Are you using 2.4ghz or 5ghz?

My phone is a Gallaxy Note 10+ 5G. I checked the link speed and it says 1.0 Gbps. I then performed a speed test and it hovers around 400 Mbps.

Link speed is the theoretical maximum, not what you're actually transmitting. Your actual speed will vary depending upon the wireless connection (2.4Ghz, 5Ghz AC, 5Ghz AX, etc.).
For general such speed diagnosis steps see the community FAQ: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi-AX/Community-FAQ-My-Orbi-speeds-are-slow-inconsistent-and-don-t-my/m-p/1984305/highlight/true#M7944.

Thats going to be around the going rate for phones and pads connected to AX WiFi due to the antenna limitation.
