Several new 5G phones on sale at DNA – almost all manufacturers now offer 5G models at a range of prices

“Recently, interest in 5G phones has clearly increased and we want to offer 5G phones for a wide variety of needs. Almost all manufacturers are already offering 5G models in various price classes. Right now, buying a 5G phone makes sense, as the importance of 5G will increase significantly over the 2–3-year average lifespan of a phone,” says Sami Aavikko, CEO, DNA Store.

Mobile 5G connections enable lower latency and faster connections. Lower latency is most noticeable as a better user experience, for example, when playing mobile games or browsing websites. Faster connection speeds will enable the transfer of larger volumes of data at a faster rate, for example, when syncing files from streaming services to a mobile device.

The 5G network’s population coverage surpasses 1.2 million

DNA’s 5G network already covers more than 1.2 million people, and a population coverage of 1.5 million will be exceeded by the end of the year. In order to achieve this goal, the network is being developed in existing areas, and will also be launched in new locations. The objective for the rest of the year is to launch a comprehensive network in Järvenpää, Kaarina, Kangasala, Kerava, Naantali, Nurmijärvi and Hyrylä in Tuusula.

DNA’s 5G services are currently available in Espoo, Heinola, Helsinki, Hyvinkää, Hämeenlinna, Jyväskylä, Kauniainen, Kuopio, Lahti, Lieto, Nokia, Oulu, Pirkkala, Pori, Raahe, Raisio, Rauma, Rusko, Seinäjoki, Sipoo, Tampere, Turku, Vaasa, Vantaa and Ylöjärvi.

In addition to these 25 areas, DNA’s 5G network reaches over 33 other municipalities with more local coverage, which means that it’s possible to use DNA’s 5G connection in up to 58 municipalities. However, the network in these 33 locations has mainly been built to meet the needs of Home 5G customers. DNA will announce new 5G locations when the 5G network also serves the region’s most densely populated areas.
