Rogers announced it is bringing Rogers Infinite customers Canada’s first 5G smartphones, the Samsung Galaxy S20 5G series, starting March 6. Rogers recently announced it began to roll out Canada’s first 5G network in downtown Vancouver, Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal, with 20 more markets to come this year.
The Samsung Galaxy S20 5G, Galaxy S20+ 5G and Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G are the latest in the Samsung Galaxy series and the first 5G-enabled smartphones to come to the Canadian market. The Samsung Galaxy Ultra 5G features include a 108MP High Resolution Camera, 100x Space Zoom, Single Take, 8K Video Snap, Bright Night and comes 5G-ready for peak performance on Rogers 5G network.
Rogers 5G wireless service is available exclusively on Rogers Infinite and select business plans. Rogers 5G-ready Infinite plans are the only plans of their kind that offer customers unlimited sharing with no overages for all lines and connected devices. Plans start at 10GB of high-speed data for every line. Beyond this, customers can use unlimited data at reduced speeds to browse, use social media, stream video and music, and send email and text messages.
The Rogers 5G network initially uses 2.5 GHz spectrum in the downtown cores of Vancouver, Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal and will expand to use 600 MHz 5G spectrum later this year. 600 MHz is best suited to carry wireless data across long distances and through dense urban buildings, creating more consistent and higher quality coverage in both remote areas and smart cities. In the future, Rogers will also start deploying 3.5 GHz spectrum and dynamic spectrum sharing, which will allow 4G spectrum to be used for 5G.
Brent Johnston, President, Wireless, Rogers Communications
Unlimited data is critical to unleash the full potential of 5G wireless technology and applications in the future, and our customers are ready to take full advantage of that potential with Rogers Infinite plans that let them share unlimited data with no overages across their devices.
Jennifer Safruk, VP, Sales and Product Management, Samsung Electronics Canada
The Galaxy S20 5G series enhances everything consumers do on their phone – video, gaming, communication and more.
