From CNET: After turning on a millimeter-wave 5G network for developers and business users over the past year, AT&T is just about ready for regular consumers to begin using out its next-generation wireless service. But don't expect any big speed jumps or a large nationwide network at launch.
Starting on Monday, the carrier will begin taking preorders for Samsung's Galaxy Note 10 Plus 5G, the first phone capable of tapping into AT&T's low-band 5G offering. The $1,300 phone will ship in the "first half of December," Kevin Petersen, senior vice president of AT&T Mobility told CNET.
When it comes to 5G, however, the phone will only work on AT&T's low-band 5G that launches around the same time. The phone won't be able to use the millimeter-wave network AT&T turned on in parts of 21 cities, a service the company calls "5G Plus."
Devices that tap into both millimeter-wave and low-band 5G are expected to be available next year.
