T-Mobile’s 5G is finally live in the U.S., specifically in select areas of six major cities.

OnePlus has a phone at Mobile World Congress, but we don't know what it's called. It's obstructed in a way that only lets you see the screen, and that's because it's a 5G prototype showing off the capabilities of the next-generation network, such as cloud gaming with mobile phones.
