With the seven new areas, AT&T ups its mobile 5G city count to 19.
, this new network is based on what is accepted as actual 5G, complete with the promised faster speeds and lower latency, the latter a measure of network responsiveness., though the company has yet to elaborate on if it will be changing its 5G pricing. When it launched in December it charged $70 per month for 15GB of 5G hotspot data.
Verizon, meanwhile, is charging an additional $10 for 5G access for phones, assuming you have one of its latest unlimited data plans. The carrier is also waiving the fee for the first three months as it builds out its new network.As with AT&T's first dozen cities, and the new networks from Verizon and T-Mobile, AT&T's current 5G network is based off a technology known in industry jargon as"mmWave," or millimeter wave.
Verizon's mmWave network, for example, is only in a handful of locations in Chicago and Minneapolis and AT&T is making it clear that today's launch will only have 5G live in"parts" of its own new cities. A second 5G technology, known as"sub-6," will be rolled out by AT&T later this year and should provide a much larger, more consistent coverage area and can work in tandem with today's mmWave network.From : Samsung Galaxy S10 5G , Galaxy S10+, Samsung Galaxy S10, and Galaxy S10E. With a 6.7-inch screen and four rear cameras, the S10 5G is the largest of the new S10 line and Samsung's first 5G Galaxy S phone.
AT&T's second Samsung 5G phone that is due out later this year will, however, support both mmWave and sub-6 making it, for most people, the likely first 5G phone worth to wait for.
