You will need a 5g capable phone like Lgv50, Samsung Galaxy S10. Apple has not made any 5g capable phone. I think they want the technology to fully settle down.
FemolasticA:
Please am not understanding something, now will we be buying a new phone with 5G network? or we will only upgrade our sim? because even the 4G network never balance

My Brother, 4g can easily handle all those little things. Ordinary 4g (LTE) can reach 300Mbps, 4g Adv can reach a max of 1Gbps. 5g purpose is not Facebooking, YouTubing, and likes. The major advantage is the latency, so it will almost be real-time. This will aid the autonomous cars, remote surgical operations, etc. You know there is always a delay in communication/data streaming/TV but not very noticeable. That's why if you call a live TV show, they will ask you to turn off your TV volume and listen directly to your phone cos the delay on ur phone RF is different from TV transmission. Do you know your friend in England watching Chelsea game has celebrated a goal like 10/20 seconds earlier before you in Naija did? So, the word "live", 5g is redefining it.
Speed is part of it too cos I think 5g can reach 18Gbps.

Coldie:
For your own good if u use the 5g don't open Facebook or Instagram or YouTube. Just a click and d whole video would downloadin seconds.

If u open IG once u open a page d whole profile would download.

Data would be so expensive

This MTN wants to irradiate us, but we have melanin, unlike the whites. We shall overcome. Stop bleaching, if not this 5G will kill you without the melanin protection. Las las, na so all fair skinned people will just kpeme like that. RIP.
What sort of fallacious deduction is this?

Nonsense and jokes!!
What is the 3g coverage of MTN not to talk of 4g?
Or is next gen tech only for urban areas.
In an era where we're talking about electoral amendments to implement e-voting, the minister should be better concerned about broadband technology penetration than a phantom demo that leads to nowhere but photo-ops and media visibility

But the ncc isn't providing those for that reason, Nigeria does not yet have access to those tech.

People who have are in the minority not enough to be profitable.

Why are these folks lying unnecessarily? They are probably testing 4G LTE under the guise for 5G. Where are the infrastructures to test 5G in Nigeria? 5G network needs different set of mast and mobile phones to function properly because of its high capacity bandwidth. Fools everywhere in Nigeria! cool cool
Stop posting ignorantly. NCC granted MTN 5G spectrum to run trials. If you go to the head office of MTN in Abuja, you will see a couple of 5G antennas on the roof top. There were there up on till yesterday, unless they have been taking down after the successful 5G demo yesterday.

And that's where they will beam 5G network? From the few antennas on their office roof top? Do you have an inclination how expensive it is to run 5G network? Nigeria is not ripe for that, they should focus on expanding 4G network instead.

So, we don't really need 5g now. We are far behind the western world. If ordinary Lagos to Ibadan expressway is taking 20yrs to repair, It will take another 50yrs for autonomous cars to work in Nigeria. Which hospital has the equipment to do remote surgical operations? Se people wey never chop will remember playing games online with friends in other parts of the world, cos 5g will improve gaming so much. It's a misplaced priority. Instead of wasting money on 5g, NCC should force our operators to improve the quality of their service; 4g LTE should cover everywhere and customers should be able to experience at least 10Mbps everywhere. 10Mbps will perfectly handle basic surfing. GSM/CDMA (voice) should cover everywhere. Nigeria is small in landmass.

My brother, this 5g research is still controversial but many scientists said we are safe. You know we have Ionizing and Non-Ionizing radiation. Radio Frequency is under non-ionizing which means it won't be that harmful. The same class that microwave is. Some people also say microwave cause cancer but it is controversial too. Let's wait and see as more researches unfold.

Lilimax:
They should try this 5G in South Africa first since MTN is championing it. shocked
If everything is ok, they can come to Nigeria shocked
They should not come and kill us with harmful RADIATION lipsrsealed

is this the solution to Nigeria's problem? Has mtn bribed our minister.it is waste of data and money. They will charge hell because the 5g masts have to be within 3minutes walk from each other to work efficiently ,how many masts would that be. we truly have many ignorant leaders in Nigeria
