Many carriers are now enabling their mobile 5G services, but devices that are compatible with the new network remain in limited supply. Samsung’s 5G powered flagship, the Galaxy S10 5G may not be available to U.S. consumers for over another month, if reports are to be believed.

Tech informant, Evan Blass recently shared on Twitter that the Galaxy S10 5G may launch on Verizon’s new ultra wideband network on May 16. Without any further detail, this is as close as we’ve gotten to details about the launch of this device on an American carrier.

Verizon may be staggering its launch of the Galaxy S10 5G to give the Motorola Moto Z3 some shine time as the first 5G enabled mobile device on the carrier. Verizon added 5G support to the Moto Z3 as of the Android Pie update as it switched on its 5G mobile service on April 3 in Chicago and Minneapolis. The Moto Z3 released last August and its 5G Moto Mod was announced in January; however, it still won’t available to market for another week, until April 11.

Once available, the Galaxy S10 5G will be a Verizon exclusive for several weeks until AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile announce their release plans and begin the launch of their networks. AT&T’s 5G network is currently available, essentially as a public beta with the Netgear Nighthawk 5G hotspot as its hardware. An Official rollout is expected in the Spring. Meanwhile, the carrier has gotten a lot of flack for adding a 5G E or 5G Evolution logo to its devices that are not compatible with 5G. Studies have shown that AT&T’s 5G E networks are just as fast as the fastest LTE speeds currently on the market. Sprint is expected to launch its 5G network in May in Chicago, Dallas, Atlanta, and Kansas City, while T-Mobile is set to enable its network during the second half of 2019.

With other U.S. carriers lagging slighly behind, Verizon seems to be in a rat race with Korean carriers as to who is the first to officially roll out 5G. The Samsung Galaxy S10 5G is set to launch in Korea on April 5, however, the carrier, SK Telecom enabled its 5G network and made the device available to a handful of elite customers early in order to compete with Verizon. The U.S. carrier originally claimed bragging rights of being the first in the world to turn on its mobile 5G network, but SK Telecom says it enabled its network hours ahead of Verizon. Other Korean carriers set to soon enable their 5G networks and release the Galaxy S10 5G  include LG Uplus and KT.
