5 Best 5G Enabled Smartphones For 2020

The Year 2020 has witnessed the use of 5G in some parts of the world and its use has continued to spread to different parts of the world. Many phone makers have deployed the use of 5G in their products.

5G allows for many speedy downloads, lower latency, and a lot more, so long you’re in an area with 5G coverage. Apart from the internet speed that 5G phones offer, you will also enjoy outstanding cameras, big displays, and super-sized batteries.

1) iPhone 12 PRO

Apple has infused more 5G bands into its latest iPhone models like the iPhone 12 Pro than any other phone out there. This allows it to work with 5G in most places, regardless of what kind of 5G network a wireless carrier has built. 

The 5G connectivity, however, takes a toll on the battery life of the iPhone 12 Pro when it connects to a faster network. Findings show that when 5G is turned off, the iPhone 12 lasted nearly 90 minutes longer. Additionally, Apple has added a number of other features that make the phone more appealing. These include a powerful A14 processor and a gorgeous 6.1-inch OLED screen.

Proving its status as one of the best phones available, the iPhone 12 Pro has three rear cameras that are augmented by a LiDAR sensor. This makes it produce some of the best camera shots by any smartphone. Also, the phone's new MagSafe charging system makes it easy to wirelessly power up the battery.

2) Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus

The Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus works on every type of 5G network. It has a Snapdragon 865 processor that makes 5G connectivity possible.

The phone's QHD AMOLED screen lets you opt for a 120Hz refresh rate for smoother scrolling and more immersive gaming but note that a faster refresh rate can drain the phone's battery faster. This new Samsung phone has four rear cameras, with the 64MP megapixel telephoto lens which stands it out for its super-crisp zoom shots.

3) Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra

The Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is Samsung's most versatile big-screen phone, and that includes its approach to 5G. It has a 6.9-inch phablet that works with every available 5G network. Its dynamic 120Hz display adjusts the refresh rate to squeeze more battery life while also delivering smoother scrolling and more immersive gaming.

It's the gaming aspect of the Note 20 Ultra that makes it one of the best 5G phones, and not just because it runs on a powerful Snapdragon 865 Plus chipset. The Galaxy Note 20 Ultra works with Microsoft's xCloud game streaming to let you play more than 100 Xbox games on your phone. With 5G connectivity, gameplay should be a delight.

4) iPhone 12

The iPhone 12 also has many appealing features such as a fast A14 Bionic processor, a 6.1-inch OLED screen, and 5G connectivity with just about any network.

Just like the iPhone 12 Pro, 5G connectivity puts a strain on the iPhone 12's battery. So, when 5G is switched off, battery life improves by nearly two hours. The iPhone 12 features a Smart Data Mode that enables users to intelligently switch between LTE and 5G, depending on whether or not the device really needs the extra speed.

5) OnePlus 8 Pro

The OnePlus 8 Pro is one of the best Android phones available. However, the phone's 5G features is more limited than some of its rival phones. 

The OnePlus 8 only works on sub-6Hz-based 5G networks which don't make it benefit from the higher speeds of mmWave-based 5G. This is however less of a concern for T-Mobile, which built its nationwide network on sub-6Ghz 5G. Findings gotten from AT&T customers report that the OnePlus 8 Pro doesn't support AT&T's 5G bands, even though that carrier primarily uses low-band 5G as well. 

If the OnePlus 8 Pro is compatible with your carrier, you'll enjoy a phone with a vibrant and smooth 120Hz screen, very good quad cameras, and a ridiculously fast charging speed even when you juice up your phone wirelessly.
