Sprint has joined the other big four US carriers in committing to sell Samsung’s 5G phone next year. AT&T and
Verizon have committed to offering the unnamed phone in the first half of next year. Sprint plans to sell the phone in “summer.”
T-Mobile will offer the same Samsung phone, but has only committed to launching it some time in 2019.
Sprint will also offer a 5G phone from LG in the first half of the year.
Sprint’s version of the Samsung phone will access 5G in Sprint’s 2.5 GHz radio frequency band, as well as 4G LTE in all of Sprint’s usual bands.
In the first half of 2019 Sprint plans to launch its mobile 5G network in nine cities: Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, New York City, Phoenix and Washington, D.C., with additional markets to be announced.
