Ericsson shows off first 5G handset

Earlier this year Ericsson began testing out a new 5G device on the streets of Stockholm, Sweden and Plano, Texas. While it is outperforming every 4G phone on the market today, the device is so large it has to be transported on a cart.

Ericsson's 5G prototype is so big because it is still a testbed designed to be used as a tablet, smartphone or PC.

The can reach speeds of 2 Gbps, which is ten times faster than the 200 Mbps speeds available on many 4G networks.
