Where is 5G in France?
More than a year and a half after the deployment of 5G in France, let’s take stock of the technology, the coverage, but also its adoption by operators and smartphone manufacturers.
While many new technology players complained about the delay in the adoption of 5G in France, the starting signal was finally given in November 2020. The least we can say is that 5G is divisive, and we don’t talk about the jokers who think it transmits diseases or melts the brain. Because 20 months later, France is divided between the cities, well covered with 3 or 4 operators, and the rest of the territory very sparse. It must be said that some territories do not even have access to 4G LTE yet.
More reasonable prices…
The infrastructure is good, but it is still necessary that the offer follow on the side of the operators. While the first offers were exorbitant, no doubt to surf on the “hype”, the operators all fell into line and many subscribers were offered an update to their offer for a few euros more. If you want to switch to 5G, take the time to compare offers. To find out more about the rates, we invite you to take a look at the site. Labmobile.
Less than €250 for a 5G device
To take advantage of 5G, you need decent coverage, a plan, but also a compatible device. While 5G smartphones were reserved for the elite at the end of 2020, this is no longer the case: there are now devices for less than €250 capable of capturing 5G. Be careful, because sometimes the same models exist in a 4G version and in a 5G version like the POCO M4 Pro that we recently tested.
