EE launched its 5G service in parts of Manchester on 30 May. The city, alongside areas of London, Edinburgh, Birmingham, Cardiff and Belfast, will now enjoy faster internet speeds than 4G users. The mobile network operator is offering 5G-enabled devices from Samsung, OnePlus, LG, HTC and Oppo. However, handsets from Huawei have been shelved for the roll-out amid uncertainty over their long-term security. EE intends to expand its network to 1,500 sites by the end of 2019, including areas of Bristol, Glasgow, Newcastle and Niantic, among other cities.
