In the U.S., 5G networks are going live left and right. To connect to those fancy new 5G networks, you’re going to need a phone that supports 5G connectivity. Only a few have been launched so far, but we’re seeing more come to market as the weeks go by.

The Samsung Galaxy S10 5G, LG V50 5G, Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5G, and Moto Z4 (with its 5G Moto Mod) are already up for sale. We’re still waiting on the Samsung Galaxy Fold, HUAWEI Mate X, and ZTE Axon 10 Pro 5G to go on sale.

We’ve already gone hands-on with Verizon and Sprint’s 5G networks, and the early results are, well, early. The full networks aren’t rolled out yet, and we still have yet to test AT&T or T-Mobile’s 5G networks.

Now that 5G phones are an option in the U.S., we want to know — will you upgrade your phone just to get one that’s compatible with a 5G network? Or are you going to wait until 5G networks become more reliable? Cast your vote in the poll below, and speak up in the comments if you have anything to add.
