(Telecompaper) Verizon said it completed the world's first 5G data transmission on a smartphone on a commercial 5G New Radio network. The successful test was completed with a Moto Z3 paired with a 5G moto mod in Providence, Rhode Island, in cooperation with Motorola, Samsung and Qualcomm. The smartphone is already for sale at Verizon, and customers can upgrade it to 5G with the clip-on modem when Verizon's 5G mobile commercial service begins in 2019.
