T-Mobile's 5G coverage of Austin, Texas on May 31, 2020. which is going to be the focus going forward.įor its part, T-Mobile currently has the strongest 5G network among the major carriers both in terms of availability and its capacity to leverage all three flavors of the new wireless technology: low-band (which allows for nationwide coverage), midband (thanks to Sprint, this allows for faster speeds at longer ranges and indoors) and millimeter-wave (though this is only in a handful of cities). If you are getting a Sprint phone you'll want to make sure you're buying a 2020 5G phone to ensure you'll be able to connect to T-Mobile's 5G network. The carrier plans to expand its super-fast millimeter-wave 5G network to 60 cities in 2020 and plans to launch a lower band nationwide this year as well. That came to 35 cities in late May, including New York, Los Angeles, Houston and Miami. Verizon made it possible to upload content - like photos and videos - over its faster 5G network. Large parts of the country - both urban and rural - with no 5G at all

Do More has 480p HD streaming and 500GB of cloud storage.ĥG is here, but it's still evolving and that means growing pains: Wicked-fast networking speeds (sometimes). * Play More and Do More plans are same price but vary in features. If you also don't care for 5G and have an older plan you'll still be able to get the phone, it just will be limited to 4G LTE. If you search for all plans without specifying a 5G device, you'll see more plan options, many of them cheaper but that may not apply to the 5G device you're eyeing. Our best suggestion? Search for the device you want (or any 5G device) to see which plans are compatible, then go from there. The ones we picked apart work with 4G LTE phones as well. However, the plans often don't always specify that they'll work with 5G phones. To own a 5G phone, most carriers require you to sign up for one of their latest unlimited plans. We're going to give it to you straight: Sifting through carrier plans is a messy, painstaking business that also gets confusing, fast. There's also the monthly cost of your payment plan.
But when we talk about the cost of owning a 5G phone, we're not just talking about the amount you pay for the device itself. The selection of 5G phones you can buy in carrier stores and online is growing. When the time comes, you'll need to know which carrier gives you the most for your money. Even if 5G is already in your area, coverage zones may be small and the reception may be iffy - the carriers say they're constantly improving their network capacity. In practice, you may not see a 5G network for a while, especially if you live somewhere more rural than urban. So considering that and the fact that 2020 iPhones are expected to feature 5G in the fall, what does this mean for you and your future 5G phone? It's expected to add the feature to the Galaxy Note 20 and the next Galaxy Fold, rumored to be called the Galaxy Z Fold 2. Samsung is already incorporating 5G into its newest Z Flip. While that spells stronger future performance, it also means 2019 Sprint 5G devices will lose their 5G access. Sprint's original 5G network is getting shut down, with T-Mobile relaunching it to work better with its existing 5G networks. Sprint is now out of the running, with the Big Four becoming the Big Three now that T-Mobile has closed its mega-merger and is bringing Sprint customers into the fold. One carrier, however, is conspicuously absent. Despite an onslaught of conspiracy theories that have resulted in physical damage to 5G towers, the major US carriers - Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile - continue to add new 5G phones and expand their networks. The coronavirus pandemic may be pumping the brakes on phone sales, but 5G development is still speeding along.
