Cheapest 5G phone - outright purchase

50Twuncle

What is the cheapest 5G phone to buy as an outright purchase ?
Three have today, made it a possible move - since they are saying that 5G will be provided on all contracts at no extra charge...
I am assuming that this includes my 4Gb £8.50 per month contract on my SIM only contract ??
Assuming that 5G is available in my area soon ?

There is a list on the three website of areas which will be covered later this year, so you might want to check.


Prices for new 5G phones seem to be in the £1k region at the moment.

OK nearest planned 5G coverage is over 40 miles away from me - so looks as if I will be limited to 4G !

You can buy the likes of the Xiaomi Mi MIX 3 5G for under £400 although this particular one may be an import.

Isn’t it the Mi Mix 3 4G version that’s around £400?

Looking at the Chinese sites I see the Mi Mix 3 5G version is on Gearbest but is over £900.

Damn, I stand corrected. I never even considered the fact that they had 4G & 5G versions
