5G Mobile Data Speeds or also known as the 600 MHz Spectrum will offer faster speeds than the current 4G LTE Advanced network. It is going through the planning phase and some carriers are all ready building this new technology. One of the USA Biggest Carrier T-Mobile plan to have 30 cities by end of 2018 ready for their 600 MHz Millimeter Wave near zero latency network.

Samsung has teamed up with Verizon Wireless to deploy Verizon Wireless' testing phase later in 2018 in a very few cities. Samsung has developed Verizon Wireless its data towers and hardware to deploy they 5G Network. Nextel and Intel has armed T-Mobile with its technology for deploying 30 cities with the all new 5G Network by the end of 2018. AT&T is also in the mix of doing its test market later in 2018. Sprint has not yet really hold up on when it will plan the 5G network roll out, but they did hint at a 2019 testing phase in its early planing. Sprint may partner with one or more carriers to deploy its 5G Network.

So is it worth to buy a device that offers the new 5G Network? My answer is simple, wait to the network is fully tested in your area and maybe wait to Fall 2018 devices to buy. I do enjoy the new features of the new Samsung Galaxy S9 with dual stereo speakers, but I have the Note 8. In Tech Radar's Review on the Samsung Galaxy S9 shows some promising new features with Samsung's 2018 flagship phone.
