OnePlus’ first 5G handset is headed for Sprint – TechCrunch

Sprint href=”https://newsroom.sprint.com/sprint-to-launch-5g-smartphone-from-oneplus.htm”> this morning introduced that it will likely be the primary community to get its palms on OnePlus’s long-promised 5G handset [not pictured]. The Shenzhen-based producer introduced late final 12 months that it was concentrating on 2019 for the machine, bucking the development of being barely behind the curve on the newest smartphone applied sciences.

Sprint’s not providing a lot in the best way of precise data right here — no pricing or availability. Not even specs or a tool title have been made accessible by way of the press launch. Rather, the provider notes that that is its first 5G smartphone, becoming a member of three different non-phone 5G units for the nascent community.

Last 12 months OnePlus made a tool accessible for the primary time via a U.S. provider, partnering with T-Mobile for the 6T. It’s made the leap to Sprint this day trip, although given merger plans, that distinction could quickly be moot regardless. Sprint’s 5G community is at the moment accessible in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston and Kansas City, with Los Angeles, New York, Phoenix and Washington, D.C. arriving in “the coming weeks.”
