As per the latest tweet by Verizon PR Manager George Koroneos, Verizon is now bringing its 5G nationwide network support to LG phones. Reportedly, LG V60 ThinQ and LG Velvet are getting updated.
Verizon’s 5G nationwide network support uses a low-band spectrum to cover more areas as compared to the mmWave-based 5G Ultra Wideband network.
This simply means that although the 5G nationwide network would not be as fast as 5G ultra-wideband, it would be available at greater distances and can penetrate through buildings to provide better coverage.
T-Mobile and AT&T were the first to roll out their 5G network support. However, soon the largest wireless service provider in the US, Verizon started providing 5G nationwide support to devices.
A few days ago, Verizon brought its 5G nationwide network support for a bunch of Samsung devices. The devices include Samsung Galaxy Note 20 5G series, S20 5G UW, S20 Ultra 5G UW, S20+ 5G, Galaxy A71 5G UW, and A51 5G UW.
Smartphones releasing in the future will have this Verizon 5G nationwide network support out of the box. This network makes use of DSS (Dynamic Spectrum Sharing) to share the existing LTE spectrum with 5G.

It also highlights some of the key features Verizon would accomplish with this network support. Notably, the Verizon 5G nationwide network is available across 1800+ cities covering around 200 million users.
