Mobile operator EE has just completed a successful trial of a 5G mobile network, run on a Huawei phone. The trial, which was conducted in the UK and Ireland, involved more than 10,000 people using Huawei’s new network to send text messages or make calls. While mass-market, "pure" 5G phones are still a long way off, Samsung has announced plans to release its first 5G-capable phone by 2019, whereas reports suggest Apple engineers are already working on 5G hardware with chipmakers at Intel for an upcoming iPhone.
