5G phones have new hardware that requires a 5G network connection. If 5G is not yet available in your area, these devices still give you the ability to have the best network experience available by also connecting to T-Mobile's advanced LTE network. 5G unlocks new possibilities and services that only 5G-capable devices can take advantage of, such as faster speeds, lower latency, and the ability to handle more connections.

5G phones are now available at T-Mobile retail stores. You can also order these devices online here and through your Team of Experts by dialing 611 from your T-Mobile phone or 1-877-413-5903.

5G is the latest evolution of wireless network technology. With 5G, higher amounts of data can be transmitted more efficiently than with 4G LTE. That means strong network reliability, faster downloads, and support for more connected devices than ever before. 5G has the potential to benefit everything from entertainment and gaming to education and public safety.
