The last major British telecommunications company that hadn't announced the launch of its 5G network was O2, but now we know the launch date for O2 5G, as well as the cities it will launch in and the 5G phones you can use. . O2 5G networks will be operational in October; We don't have a definitive date yet, but we hope it will be a firm release date. EE and Vodafone have already launched their 5G network and Three has been offering broadband since August. This means that O2 is catching up with the main networks, but it doesn't always mean better.
Where can I get O2 5G?
The first cities covered by the O2 5G network will be London, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Belfast, all British capitals, as well as Leeds and Slough. Why does he move, ask yourself, is he so small compared to others? This is probably because this is where the O2 is located. After the launch date, O2 plans to expand its 5G network to 20 cities by 2019, including Bristol, Norwich and Reading, and then to 50 cities by summer 2020, including Milton Keynes, Manchester and Brighton. There will be so many cities connected to 5G thanks to the partnership between O2 and Vodafone to roll out 5G to both networks as quickly as possible. O2 said the first neighborhoods in 5G-connected cities are social hubs like sports stadiums, shopping malls, transport hubs like train stations and concert venues, suggesting it could stick around for several years before residential penetration becomes dense. expect a 5G room right away.
What phones can I use on the O2 5G?
As for compatible phones, O2 will start selling the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G from August 8, a day after the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 in quite an interesting way (and we hope to see a Note 10 5G too!) Then the Xiaomi Mi Mix 3.5G at the end of August. O2 promises that the other phones will be confirmed at a later date. O2 had previously announced that the Huawei Mate 20 X 5G would be available on the net, but that doesn't seem to be the case currently. Don't forget that O2 announced that prior to the Huawei ban, uncertainty hung over the future of Huawei hardware. Other networks that said the phone would be available at the launch of 5G have since withdrawn and O2 appears to have followed suit. We ask for other comments to clarify this point.
