EE launches UK's first 5G network in six cities

Mobile carrier EE has launched the UK's first 5G network in six cities, ushering in a new era of connectivity for not only our smartphones, but a whole host of smart devices.

EE's 5G network has been switched on in London, Edinburgh, Cardiff, Belfast, Birmingham and Manchester, but you won't just need to live in one of these locations to benefit from 5G.

You'll also need a 5G compatible phone and a 5G mobile contract to access the fifth generation of network technology.

At launch, EE offers four 5G handsets, with the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G, LG V50 ThinQ 5G, OnePlus 7 Pro 5G and Oppo Reno 5G in the range.

There is also a premium to pay, with EE's 5G contracts more expensive than its 4G plans.

Faster, more reliable internet

5G is billed to deliver a much faster and more reliable internet connection to your smartphone, allowing you to download apps, games, movies and music in a flash.

The speed should be far superior to what you get with 4G, although it will be dependent on a number of factors, including how close you are to a 5G mast.

At the time of writing it's not clear how much of the launch cities are covered by EE's 5G network, but we'll be getting a handset today to put it to the test.

For those disappointed by the limited roll-out across the country, there's some good news, as EE promises to bring its 5G network to a further 10 locations by the end of the year.

Meanwhile, Vodafone will join the 5G future on July 3 in seven locations, with a total of 19 locations connected before the year is out.
