Here’s which European countries will first get Samsung Galaxy S10 5G
Samsung introduced the Galaxy S10 5G at its Unpacked Event. This is the biggest device of the series with more cameras, and, of course, with full 5G support both for mmWave and sub-6GHz networks.
The phone will see gigabit speeds only in select countries, and Samsung announced a short list of the first places in Europe to get the new handset. They are France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
To have a proper 5G connectivity, your carrier has to play along as well - not all networks will support the full capabilities of the new generation. True 5G will be experienced at eight operators: Deutsche Telekom, EE, Orange, Sunrise, Swisscom, TIM, Telefonica, and Vodafone.
While some CEOs plainly said they are glad to be working with Samsung on this project, there are some details on the availability in the UK. According to Marc Allera, CEO of BTs Consumer Division, 5G will be launched across 16 UK cities this year to provide the fastest and most reliable connection.
The Galaxy S10 5G will be released in the spring in these six countries (eight, if we count the United States and Australia), but Samsung is keeping the pricing a secret for now.
