In a somewhat surprising move. T-Mobile chose one of its OnePlus portfolio phones to test its standalone 5G network, and establish a number of milestones, like the first data, call and video session over its dedicated 5G network.
We say surprising, as Samsung’s high-end phones have been cornering the 5G phones market in the US for a good year now, carrying the lion’s market share. The choice of OnePlus is a significant PR win for the phone maker, and bodes well for its 5G strategy going forward.
