US carriers including Verizon and AT&T have been heavily promoting their nascent 5G networks, but even if 5G does get lit up in your area, you will only be able to take advantage of it if you have a compatible device. Home routers, tablets, laptops, and mobile hotspots with 5G chips have all been discussed, but most consumers are curious about when they will be able to get their hands on a 5G smartphone.
CNet has compiled a list of what is known (or speculated) about upcoming 5G phones. Apple is unlikely to have a 5G phone before 2020, while Samsung and others are eager to get 5G gear to market.
