The future of mobile telephony is 5G, and in 2020, a new network standard began to find its place in many regions of the world. In recent months, several brands have released new 5G smartphones, and in this article we will talk about the benefits of the new network standard and list the most interesting 5G smartphones on the market today.
What are the benefits of 5G?
5G is not yet a concrete reality for most users due to the lack of a dedicated infrastructure, but over the next few years it will be so. This will affect our daily lives and will not be limited to how we use our smartphones, but will affect different areas: from home, to the car to games. Not to mention other sectors, such as medicine and industry.
The benefits of 5G can be summarized briefly in higher data rates and increased latency, which will make smoother use of applications, services and streaming, including games. Virtual and augmented reality will also benefit from the benefits offered by 5G, but overall, the new network standard will make multimedia content more usable.
The best 5G smartphones that are already available
Samsung got into the 5G game early and even had a 5G version of the S10 series phones. However, by 2020, the South Korean giant has added 5G to its entire S20 smartphone lineup. This means that now you can get the smallest, cheapest and in my opinion the best - Samsung Galaxy S20 with 5G on board.
OnePlus 8
Launched in April 2020, OnePlus 8 and his older brother, OnePlus 8 Pro, are ready for 5G. With a price of € 699 / $ 699, the non-Pro option is one of the most affordable smartphones on this list. In the regular 8th model, some of the tricks of the Pro camera are missing, but the software optimizations of the Snapdragon 865 and OnePlus make this smartphone one of the fastest 5G on the market. For those who had speed and performance without gimmicks, this is a 5G phone to buy.
Oppo Find X2 Pro
One of the most beautiful and stylish 5G smartphones on the market today is Oppo Find X2 Pro. It enters the so-called "vegan skin" and feels great in your hand. It also has a display with a frequency of 120 Hz, and unlike Samsung, Oppo allows you to activate the display with the highest possible resolution. The result is certainly striking. Although not the cheapest phone on this list, the Oppo Find X2 Pro is a 5G smartphone for consumers who like to think outside the box.
Realme X50 Pro 5G
We are big fans of what Reamle is doing on the smartphone market right now with Google+. The Chinese manufacturer seems to be like the new Xiaomi, releasing a new smartphone after its other new products with impressive features and amazing prices.
The Realme X50 Pro 5G is, as the name suggests, a 5G smartphone with Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 and an impressive camera. In Europe, worth 399 euros, the X50 Pro 5G is also at a very reasonable price.
Samsung Galaxy S10 5G
Even before the Mobile World Congress 2019, Samsung introduced its Galaxy S10 lineup, including a 5G-enabled smartphone. Samsung Galaxy S10 5G - The largest new Samsung smartphone with a 6,7-inch display. It is also well equipped with many cameras, a powerful processor and a powerful battery to conquer the market this summer and beyond - provided that by then 5G networks and tariffs will be available and accessible to all users.

Oppo is also sticking with 5G and offering its Reno 10X Zoom with a 5G modem. As in the case Mi MIX 3 5G, we find inside the Snapdragon 855 processor with the Snapdragon X50 modem and the Adreno 640 GPU, 8 GB of RAM and a 4065 mAh battery with VOOC 3.0 fast recharge.
In addition, in this case we find a large screen with a size of 6,6 inches with a resolution of 2340 × 1080 pixels and an excellent photo compartment that complements the multimedia capabilities.
LG V50 ThinQ
LG unveiled at MWC 2019 V50 ThinQ - its first smartphone with 5G support. Last year’s flagship is not much thicker and no bigger than its predecessor, but it still has the latest Qualcomm 5G modems and antennas.
In addition to receiving 5G, LG also offered something to counter the hype with a folding smartphone: a case with a second display that can be turned on and off at will is not so elegant, but still practical.
Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5G
The Chinese manufacturer Xiaomi is known for its attractive price-performance ratio for smartphones. Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5G is no exception, because with a starting price of 599 euros, it was the cheapest 5G smartphone on the market at that time.
Even better - it comes with a full-size display and attractive design. In terms of software. Xiaomi relies on a self-developed MIUI. Xiaomi currently offers its smartphones in most European countries, but unfortunately, most of them do not cross the Atlantic Ocean if they do not resort to import.
Sony Xperia 1
In Japan, Sony is still working on the future of its smartphone. Xperia 1 was one of the most important smartphones - and not just because of 5G support. It was the first smartphone with a 4K OLED display in the mega 21: 9 widescreen format. This is intended for multimedia enthusiasts who like to watch movies on their smartphone and maybe even shoot and edit short films on their own.
