Lost amid the 5G phone hype, analysts say, is a little-known fact: None of the high-priced 5G phones currently being sold in carrier stores can access both 5G mmWaveÂ-andÂ-sub-6GHz networks.Â-It’s one of the main reasons why you shouldn'tÂ-jump on the 5G hype train too early (https://www.pcworld.com/article/3454301/upgrading-to-a-5g-phone-whens-the-right-time.html), but that will change, Qualcomm senior executives said, during the first quarter of 2020.
As it stands now, 5G is basically an either-or proposition. The OnePlusÂ-7T Pro 5G McLaren Edition that T-Mobile announced as it “turns on” its 5G network on December 6 (https://www.t-mobile.com/coverage/4g-lte-5g-networks?gclsrc=aw.ds&ds_rl=1082060&ds_rl=1272987&ds_rl=1264208&cmpid=ADV_PB_P_19NETWRK5G_43700040225243495_395364 075007&gclid=Cj0KCQiAz53vBRCpARIsAPPsz8WlcLLh0eaTuvudHdKg SUmWASMgeLhZAiJevXKgkUGR0TOd1Msb8fsaAlBHEALw_wcB) is a “lowband” phone, capable of accessing T-Mobile’s 600MHz 5G network. But it won’t be able to access the short-range, high-bandwidth, and extremely fast mmWave spectrum that Verizon is rolling out, and that T-Mobile has deployed in a handful of cities.Â-On the other hand, phones like the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G for Verizon are optimized for high-speed mmWave communication, which yield the sort of eye-popping gigabit downloads that dominate headlines, but can't access sub-6GHz frequencies.
