Cricket Wireless customers nationwide can now enjoy the 5G network…consumers can access 5G on the Samsung Galaxy S20+ 5G with Cricket's $60/mo. Unlimited Plan…Cricket is also launching its largest Simply Data Rate Plan ever— 100GB of data for $90/mo.

Maurice Klaehne's key takeaways:

5G in the US is slowly making it down to prepaid providers like Cricket, after having been lit up by all major US postpaid carriers.
However, the first device Cricket is launching is the Galaxy S20 Plus 5G for $1199.99, hardly a device that will appeal to many of its subscribers which usually spend less than $300 on a device.
5G service is also limited to their $60 Unlimited plans at the moment, so while it's a good sign that 5G is slowly expanding, it's still very cost prohibitive for many.
The cheapest 5G device in the market is currently the Samsung A51 5G and this retails at around $500.
We believe H2 2020 will see a sharp uptick in 5G capable mid-tier devices as OEMs will want to begin capturing this market.
The devices will mostly be sub-6 5G devices. mmWave 5G is too cost prohibitive (devices currently cost $50-$100 more for mmWave) and mostly limited to the Verizon network at the moment.
