Verizon is selling the most 5G phones of any US carrier by far, according to analysis firm M Science.<\/h2>\n<\/hgroup>\n

Verizon subscribers are picking up the most 5G phones<\/a> by far of any carrier in the US, according to new data from M Science, although AT&T and T-Mobile report far broader 5G<\/a> coverage.<\/p>\n

Sales of 5G phones on Verizon breached the 100,000-unit-per-week mark at the end of May and have stayed there through June, while no other carrier has sold more than 40,000 5G phones per week, M Science<\/a> says. Even if you combine sales from T-Mobile and Sprint, they still come out significantly less than Verizon’s.<\/p>\n

“Verizon’s sales mix is more weighted towards Android smartphones than the other carriers and Verizon offers the most diverse set of 5G Android devices. With a more expansive lineup of 5G phones, Verizon offers more alternatives for customers seeking 5G phones,” says M Science senior analyst Mark Bachman.<\/p>\n

According to Wave7 Research, Verizon does sell proportionately more Android phones than AT&T does, but fewer than Sprint and T-Mobile do. In June, Verizon’s device mix was 65 percent Apple, while AT&T’s was 73 percent Apple, Sprint’s was 62 percent, and T-Mobile’s was 55 percent, Wave7 says.<\/p>\n

Verizon is offering more aggressive promotions on 5G smartphones than its competitors, though. The carrier offers the Samsung Galaxy S20 5G for $799 rather than $999 on a payment plan (as long as you stay with the carrier for two more years), the LG V60<\/a> for $649 rather than its base price of $949, and the Galaxy A71 5G for a mere $359 rather than its base price of $649.<\/p>\n

AT&T is only offering those promotions if you sign up for a new line, and T-Mobile is only offering similar promotions to new and existing customers who add new lines. As one example, the Galaxy S71 5G is $600 at T-Mobile.<\/p>\n

Verizon customers may be seeking 5G phones, but that doesn’t mean they’re getting 5G. According to our Race to 5G tracker<\/a>, Verizon’s 5G network still covers fewer than 15 million people in the US, while AT&T and T-Mobile both have much broader coverage. A recent OpenSignal report<\/a> says that Verizon users only get 5G 0.4 percent of the time, as opposed to T-Mobile users who are on 5G 22.5 percent of the time.<\/p>\n

Verizon says it will launch “nationwide” 5G, based on dynamically sharing airwaves with 4G, by the end of the year<\/a>, according to RCR Wireless.<\/p>\n

And it looks like Americans continue not to be thrilled about having to pay the “5G tax.” Fewer Samsung Galaxy S20<\/a> units are being sold than the Galaxy S10 or S9 series did in the US, M Science says, although the gap narrowed after each phone’s initial post-launch peak. The Galaxy S20+ 5G is the most popular unit, followed by the S20 Ultra and then the S20.<\/p>\n

\"MGalaxy S20 Sales (Image: M Science)<\/small><\/p>\n

“The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting overall handset sales and is not disproportionately affecting 5G adoption,” Bachman says. “The S20 was designed for 5G networks and carries a premium of about $200\/phone. Thus consumers are likely unwilling to pay a premium for a 5G device if they are only accessing a 4G network.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
