You can buy a Galaxy S10 5G right now, but there's no guarantee you'd ever get to use 5G.

That means you could buy the Galaxy S10 5G without the guarantee that you'd actually ever connect to Verizon's 5G network.

It's best to wait and see when 5G will be available in your area before buying a 5G-capable smartphone.You can buy and use Samsung's Galaxy S10 5G smartphone that can connect to Verizon's 5G network starting May 16, but there aren't many places in the US where Verizon actually has a 5G network — at least for now.

Someone from New York can buy the Galaxy S10 5G and they won't encounter Verizon's 5G network until the carrier actually activates it there — and there's no telling exactly when your area will get Verizon's 5G network. That means that if Galaxy S10 5G owners don't often venture to the areas listed above, they wouldn't be making the most of their 5G smartphone. Instead, they'd be connected to Verizon's 4G LTE mobile network the majority of the time.Verizon's 5G network — as well as 5G networks from other carriers — will surely expand over time, at which point it'll make more sense to buy a 5G smartphone.
