   5G in the US just got a big shakeup. Here's how to choose the best   
   carrier now.  Graphic by Pixabay/Illustration by CNET   
      
   The coronavirus pandemic may be pumping the brakes on phone sales, but   
   5G development is still speeding along. Despite an onslaught of   
   conspiracy theories that have resulted in physical damage to 5G   
   towers, the major US carriers - Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile - continue   
   to add new 5G phones and expand their networks. One carrier, however,   
   is conspicuously absent. Sprint is now out of the running, with the   
   Big Four becoming the Big Three now that T-Mobile has closed its   
   mega-merger and is bringing Sprint customers into the fold. Sprint's   
   original 5G network is getting shut down, with T-Mobile relaunching it   
   to work better with its existing 5G networks. While that spells   
   stronger future performance, it also means 2019 Sprint 5G devices will   
   lose their 5G access.
