Verizon says it has turned on its 5G network in Chicago, Illinois and Minneapolis, Minnesota a week ahead of schedule, and its customers will be able to access the network in those cities via the Moto z3 device with a special attachment. The launch comes just in time for the NCAA Final Four games this weekend in Minneapolis, and Verizon said it has 5G coverage “inside and around” U.S. Bank Stadium.
Verizon is claiming the combination of network and smartphone availability as a world-first, ahead of the launch this week of Samsung’s 5G-capable S10 device.
