A guest post by GlobalData.

5G adoption has experienced the fastest growth of any previous cellular generation with 260 commercial 5G networks deployed as of June 2023 and over 750 5G smartphone models available to users.

In terms of the number of global 5G connections, 5G broke through the 1 billion mark in December 2022, and at the end of June 2023, it surpassed 1.2 billion. Of the 1.2 billion 5G connections, roughly 10%, or 115 million, were gigabit 5G connections.
