5G is Rolling Out: 4 of the Best 5G Phones Available

The Latest and Greatest

News of the brand-new, cutting-edge 5G network has taken the world by storm. This powerful new technology will allow us to achieve never before seen speeds. We are on the brink of an entirely new level of interconnectivity.

This new type of network is still being rolled out. Because of that, 5G phones are still a rarity at present. But as the network expands, so too will the market. If you want to ensure that you can make use of the benefits of this state-of-the-art technology, you’ll need a 5G phone.

We’ve covered some of the best 5G phones below.

iPhone

Apple’s latest iPhone models don’t support 5G. This decision came as a shock to many in the tech industry, but it wasn’t a fluke. Apple is betting that 5G models will become a big hit in 2020 and that rolling out 5G compatible iPhones in 2019 would have been rushing into things.

Apple’s long-standing feud with Qualcomm also played a part in this decision. Nevertheless, Apple is planning to release three 5G-ready iPhone models in 2020, most likely Q3 or Q4. So we will get to enjoy the benefits of 5G on Apple’s smartphones, but we’ll have to wait until the latter half of next year.

Apple’s settlement with Qualcomm has sped things up a bit. The first models will be based on Qualcomm’s technology and chipsets, but Apple is planning to eventually switch to a completely in-house approach, even for 5G.

So, you can’t get a 5G iPhone as of right now, but the future is looking bright, and we’re looking forward to the second half of 2020. We’re excited to see how 5G will play into Apple’s dominant flagship product.
