T-Mobile has announced 5G phone will be among its first mobile 5G devices, and that phone will be same Samsung device that AT&T and Verizon confirmed earlier this month.
“That’s right,” exclaimed Neville Ray, T-Mobile CFO, in a blog post. “T-Mobile is working on that phone too — and other 5G devices with other OEMs and chipset manufacturers. In fact, we expect to have multiple 5G devices — that will work across multiple spectrum bands — in 2019.”
Now Verizon kicked off fixed, non-standard 5G service in a handful of markets in October. AT&T’s mobile, standards-based 5G services goes live December 21 with a mobile hotspot. T-Mobile has only specified that it will launch 5G in 2019. The company hopes for a much broader launch so it can deliver 5G to more people at once.
