The company further went on to reveal that it has already started testing the 5G products in various countries which include Korea, Japan, and U.S. Additionally, Samsung stated that the company will be testing the 5G network products in U.K. this year.

Apart from the 5G network trials, the company said that the network of products will include a 5G "radio base station" and a 5G home router that consumers will be able to install themselves. Samsung didn't offer much in the way of news around the device, except for the fact that the router will enable a top data rate of 1Gbps.
