AT&T is launching its first 5G phone on June 17th, but only for business customers and a select group of software developers.
The company will offer the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G to customers on the new AT&T Business Unlimited Preferred plan, which includes 5G service. For a limited time, businesses can order the Galaxy S10 5G with 256 GB of storage through their AT&T account representatives for the discounted price of $1,000.
The phone can access AT&T’s mmWave 5G network, which is available today in “very limited parts” of 19 cities. AT&T plans to reach parts of at least 30 cities soon.
The phone cannot access 5G service at lower (sub-6 GHz) frequencies that AT&T has promised to launch by the end of the year.
AT&T is also offering a group of developers a Galaxy S10 5G with free service through the end of the year.
