It's a 6.4-inch phone with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chip, 6GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, a 4,000mAh battery and a triple rear camera (with 12/12/16-megapixel sensors), as well as a dual, 8/5-megapixel selfie camera.
On Sprint, the LG V50 ThinQ 5G will cost $24 per month with a $0 down payment with a Sprint Flex 18-month lease.
The HTC 5G hub is a wireless hub that lets you connect various devices via Wi-Fi and enjoy 5G network speeds, which should be good enough for 4K streaming, and "virtually" buffer-free gaming, Sprint claims.
The HTC 5G Hub costs $12.50 per month for 24 months, and can be activated with a 100GB data plan for $60/month, after which data speeds are reduced.
Both devices will be available on May 31, but initially only in the four markets where Sprint will launch its 5G network first: Atlanta, Dallas, Houston and Kansas City. It should arrive to Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, Phoenix and Washington, D.C. in the next few weeks.
