What is a 5G phone?

A 5G phone is a smartphone designed to support 5G networks (the fifth generation of mobile network technology).

5G phones are equipped with hardware and antennas that allow them to connect to 5G signals, enabling faster download and upload speeds, lower latency (faster response times) and improved overall performance compared to 4G or previous network generations. 5G phones can handle data-intensive tasks such as high-definition video streaming, gaming, and virtual or augmented reality (VR/AR) more efficiently.

These phones usually support 4G as well, ensuring connectivity in areas where 5G coverage is limited or unavailable. Popular manufacturers like Apple, Samsung and Google have released a variety of 5G-enabled devices to take advantage of the growing 5G infrastructure.
