July 04, 2025
Sprintwants its customers, and everyone else, to know it will be launching a Samsung-made 5G phone in 2019, just asVerizon,AT&T, andT-Mobilehave already revealed. The nation’s fourth-largest carrier stated that its Samsung 5G phone would go on sale sometime in the summer of 2019.
In a press release, Sprint didn’t name the actual Samsung 5G phone it will sell, although it’s likely that it will be the 5G version of theSamsung Galaxy S10. It will also connect to Sprint’s current 4G LTE network, and it will support Sprint’s 2.5 GHz spectrum on both LTE and 5G, along with Sprint’s 1.9 GHz spectrum (band 25), 800 MHz spectrum (band 26) and other LTE spectrum bands. We got to see aSamsung 5G phone prototypea few weeks ago at Qualcomm’s Tech Summit in Maui, Hawaii.
This is actually the third 5G device that Sprint has announced. It first announced plans to launchan LG-made 5G phonesometime in early 2019, and it will also launchan HTC-made 5G home smart hub in 2019as well.
The press release added thatSprint’s 5G networkwill officially launch in the first half of 2019 inAtlanta,Chicago,Dallas,Houston,Kansas City,Los Angeles,New York City,PhoenixandWashington, D.C.
Sprint plans to use its Massive MIMO technology for its 5G rollout, which in theory should allow for more coverage per cell site than other networks. Keep in mind that Sprint is still scheduled to merge with thenation’s third-biggest wireless carrier, T-Mobile, before the end of 2019.
