Sprint lights up its 5G network in four markets
Sprint is the latest US carrier that launches its 5G services in select locations. The network operator has just announced that customers will be offered “blazing-fast download speeds” in areas of Atlanta, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, and Kansas City. Moreover, the carrier confirmed that in the coming weeks, it hopes to be able to launch similar services in areas of Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, Phoenix and Washington, D.C.
Unfortunately, Sprint's 5G network won't cover all the cities mentioned above, just parts of them, as suggested by the use of the word “areas.” Even the announcement confirms the information, so if you live in one of the four cities that are part of Sprint's 5G network expansion, here is where you'll get coverage:
If you're on Sprint and want to use the carrier's 5G services, you have three options when it comes to compatible devices: LG V50 ThinQ 5G, Samsung Galaxy S10 5G, and HTC 5G Hub.
It's also worth mentioning that starting tomorrow, May 31, the LG V50 ThinQ 5G and HTC 5G Hub will be available for purchase in retail stores in Sprint's first 5G markets, but they can also be ordered online.
