Here are all the 5G phone prices and release dates, do you plan to buy one?
It's getting hard to count all the rumors and actual announcement of "5G"-equipped phones that are coming our way as soon as this spring.
Samsung, LG, Huawei, Xiaomi and others already have such unveilings behind their backs, while brands like OnePlus are soon to follow. Here's a list of the more popular 5G gear announced or in the rumor mill.
| 5G model | Availability | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Samsung Galaxy S10 5G | Released in Korea, coming May 16th to the US, pre-orders start April 28th | from $1200 |
| Samsung Galaxy Fold 5G | May in Korea | ~$2100 |
| LG V50 ThinQ | May | ~$1100 |
| Huawei Mate X | May | ~$2500 |
| Xiaomi 5G Mi Mix 3 (Onyx Black, Sapphire Blue) | May | 599 euros ($679) |
| OnePlus 7 Pro | May | n/a |
| Oppo Reno 5G | May | $1000 |
As you can see from the list above, the most popular brands have stuffed their 5G models to the gills, and even folded them in half, so their prices start north of a grand. We pin our hopes high on the Chinese warriors like Xiaomi or OnePlus to find a good price/features balance so that us plebs can also participate in the 5G (r)evolution.
Verizon managed to beat South Korea to the punch by announcing the first commercial connection of a 5G phone (Moto Z3 with the respective mod) to a retail 5G network (Chicago, one lamp post near the stadium, we kid but not really).
Together with AT&T and T-Mobile, however, the carrier has promised tens of 5G markets by years-end, this is why we wanted to ask you if you plan to get one of those 5G juggernauts above by the time Christmas rolls out and be at the forefront of the next step in the mobile revolution. Do tell which one has gotten your attention, too.
