T-Mobile's nationwide 5G network is rolling out this week but you shouldn't buy in to the hype yet. Only two phones support it and it's not as fast as other 5G networks.
you can expect a boost of about 50 Mbps with T-Mobile's new nationwide 5G network. So, you might see 150Mbps if you have a new 5G phone instead of the 100 Mbps download speed you have on 4G LTE.
To put that in perspective, if you're downloading a 3 GB movie, you might be able to download it in about 30 seconds or so if you have a really good 4G LTE connection. If you get that 50 Mbps boost, you'd download the same movie in 20 seconds. The speed bump isn't good enough reason to buy a new 5G phone right now.
Verizon and AT&T's 5G networks are roughly 10 times faster than LTE, with speeds hitting around 1,000 Mbps or more. That means you can download a 3 GB movie in just a few seconds. T-Mobile has some of these networks active, but only in six cities. And the two new phones you can buy today don't support those areas. Only one phone does, the Samsung Galaxy S10+ 5G, but that doesn't support the new 600MHz network. Plus there areHere's why you should wait before buying a 5G phone today: Eventually, carriers are going to sell phones that support all the various 5G technologies that are starting to light up across the country.
Unfortunately, there aren't any phones that support all of those networks yet, so anything you buy now would be out of date as soon as there are. It's best to wait until later in 2020 to start looking at 5G phones.
