5G Phones

T-Mobile will launch 5G in six US cities on June 28th with Samsung’s Galaxy S10 5G.  

The first phone to use T-Mobile’s new 5G network will be launching this Friday, June 28th. Samsung’s Galaxy S10 5G will only be available in the US cities — Atlanta, Cleveland, Dallas, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and New York City — where T-Mobile has established millimeter wave (mmWave) spectrum, the groundwork for its 5G networks. If you’re in one of these cities, you’ll be able to purchase the phone, though T-Mobile makes it clear that its 5G coverage, like that of its US competitors, is currently extremely limited and will only reliably work outdoors.

ig and beautiful:Samsung Galaxy S10 5G

Staff favorite

The non-5G version of this phone is currently our pick as the best Android phone so far this year, and the 5G version just adds to it. That starts with the massive 6.7-inch "Infinity-O" display out front, a virtually frameless design punctuated only by the dual-camera array. Plus, the triple-lens setup on the back is one of the very best smartphone cameras around. With a 4,500 mAh battery, 256GB of storage, 8GB of RAM, fast and wireless charging, the S10 5G is well equipped for today's superfast world.

Cutting edge:OnePlus 7 Pro 5G

The OnePlus 7 Pro is one of the best looking phones on the market right now, but it's not all for show. The front is a frameless 6.67-inch 3120x1440 resolution 90Hz AMOLED display, and has no notches or hole punches thanks to the pop up selfie camera. It's a truly special display, and the high refresh rate will blow you away. The OnePlus 7 Pro 5G is based on Oxygen OS with Android 9 Pie underneath, and remains one of the best manufacturer versions out there.

Old school:Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5G

Xiaomi's Mix Mix 3 is another incredible looking phone with a front almost entirely filled with screen. That's thanks to its old-school slider mechanism that pops the front camera up when you need it. Xiaomi is fairly new to the U.K. market still, but the Mi Mix 3 is one of its top phones right now, and the 5G version comes with 128GB of storage, 6GB of RAM and a large 3,800 mAh battery with fast charging. The Mi Mix 3 5G is exclusive to Vodafone at this time.

Double up:LG V50 ThinQ

Compared to the rest, LG's first 5G phone may look a little dated thanks to its notched display, but it has a party piece that none of the others do. In the box with the V50 ThinQ you get an entire second display. It isn't a true foldable phone, but hey, you get two screens! That, plus 5G support is really what makes this phone stand out. The V50 ThinQ 5G is currently exclusive to EE.

Zoom in:OPPO Reno 5G

The new kid on the block for both 5G and the U.K. market in general, the OPPO Reno is making waves not only for its innovative design, but its aggressive price and strong camera. The Reno has no notch or hole punch, instead opting for a wedge-styled popup for the front-facing camera. Around back you get three camera sensors, along with a top-notch AMOLED display and stellar battery life. As long as you're OK on EE, it's well worth a look.
