"Huawei excels in its technology, Samsung may not say much, but the company is also making a lot of preparations, and soon Samsung will come with a 5G device," said Jin-hyo, as quoted by the Korean Herald on Thursday March 1st, 2018.

Parties Samsung has so far not provided a statement about the 5G phone. However, a number of reports mention the latest flagship candidate, Galaxy S10, will be Samsung's first 5G phone. If nothing changes, the smartphone is likely to be released early next year.
