Last year, major carriers kicked off their 5G deployment<\/span>\u00a0in earnest, and you’ll continue to see 5G phones being released this year and next. In the US, 5G is currently live in select cities for ATT, Verizon, T-Mobile and other regional carriers. The 5G networks for all four major carriers in the UK<\/span> are live too. <\/p>\n

Apple’s latest\u00a0iPhone 12 phones<\/span>\u00a0all\u00a0have 5G connectivity<\/span>, and Samsung, the\u00a0most popular manufacturer of 5G phones<\/span>, has several under its belt. This includes the foldable\u00a0Galaxy Z Flip 5G<\/span>, the premium\u00a0Galaxy Note 20<\/span>\u00a0phones, and the more budget-friendly\u00a0Galaxy A71 5G<\/span>. Though\u00a0it won’t replace 4G in its entirety<\/span>, 5G is the next generation of mobile connectivity.\u00a05G<\/span>\u00a0works fast and\u00a0many industries will benefit<\/span>\u00a0from the new network, including self-driving cars, drones and the Internet of Things.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Most people will likely experience the benefits of a robust 5G network only through a 5G phone. After all, the grand promises carriers and chipmakers are making with 5G coverage won’t mean much if you can’t access 5G service with your own device after the rollout. To help you keep tabs on all the latest 5G phones and when we can expect more, here’s what the major phone makers are offering. <\/p>\n

In October Apple unveiled four iPhones, all of which are 5G phones. At the helm of the lineup is the iPhone 12<\/a>, which starts at $829 (\u00a3799, AU$1,349) and features the A14 Bionic processor and dual rear cameras. If you’re looking for something smaller and cheaper, the iPhone 12 Mini<\/a> is your best pick for a 5G capable phone. And if you want something more premium, the iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max<\/a> are decked out with more features.<\/p>\n

Despite its high price tag and being a Verizon exclusive in the US, the\u00a0Edge Plus<\/a>\u00a0is still a premium 5G smartphone worth looking into. It features a Snapdragon 865 chipset, a giant battery, an OLED screen with a high refresh rate and multiple rear cameras with heavy-duty specs. As CNET’s Patrick Holland declared, it’s “one of the most wonderful Android phones I’ve tried in a long time.”<\/p>\n

In addition to its headphone jack (a rarity among top-tier phones these days), the LG V60<\/a> is unique because it works with a case accessory that effectively doubles the size of its screen. Known as Dual Screen, it allows the V60 to fold open like a book, so you can display two apps on both displays or view content as a single tablet (albeit with a big hinge in the middle).<\/p>\n
