Verizon launches first 5G phone, the next generation of ultra-fast wireless connections. The network is now available to customers in select areas of Chicago and Minneapolis in US.
The device requires the $200 5G moto mod attachment, which resembles a small battery back, that enables the phone to connect to the network.
Verizon and AT&T have already launched 5G networks in several US cities, but Chicago and Minneapolis are the first locations where people can access the networks with a 5G device.
5G technology has been touted as a major breakthrough that will allow for better video streaming and more technical advancements such as powering self-driving cars.
