Sprint 5G network coverage map: which cities are covered?

Latest update: September 27th, 2019. Sprint has expanded its 5G coverage to 4 more cities: New York, LA, Washington DC and Phoenix.

Sprint launched its True 5G Network at the end of May 2019 and because it uses mid-band spectrum as the underlying technology for the network, it has been able to offer the widest 5G coverage of all US carriers at launch.

In contrast, rivals Verizon Wireless and AT&T rely on complicated millimeter-wave tech that delivers incredible speeds, but you get coverage only in very near proximity to a 5G node, something that Sprint ...

OnePlus phones used to be all about price, they'll now have a new defining feature

OnePlus phones used to have one defining feature - value - that was stuffed into a very affordable handset. They now look cheap compared to the iPhones and Galaxies of this world, but when ranked with brands for the fellow countrymen, the OnePlus 7T and the 7 Pro before it, are $599 and $699, respectively.

That is why OnePlus had to strike above its weight to entice buyers with something more than selling phones near cost, and it found it. Perhaps the most defining characteristic of the new OnePlus 7T and the 7 Pro before it, is the high display refresh rate - something that ...

Latest update: September 27th. T-Mobile is still awaiting regulatory approval on the Sprint merger. 

T-Mobile has quickly grown to have one of the fastest and most widespread 4G LTE networks in the US, and it wants to blanket the nation with 5G coverage as well. To do that, it argues that it needs extra power that will come from a proposed merger with America's fourth largest network, Sprint, and in late 2019 that deal is still awaiting regulatory approval.

Best Buy has several already cheap Amazfit smartwatches on sale at even lower prices

Amazfit Stratos

If you're not familiar with the Amazfit brand, the first thing you should know is that it's not related to Amazon in any way, shape, or form.

AT&T has been one of the most controversial carriers when it comes to the launch of a 5G network in the United States. And the reason for that lies in the misleading branding that the company chose: it called an improved 4G service "5G Evolution" (also known as 5G E). This marker showed up on people's phones in early 2019 causing a bit of confusion, so to clear things ...
