You’ve probably heard of this several times, but there’s no escaping the need for 5G with its ultrafast speeds that open limitless possibilities for larger-than-life digital experiences.
In the Philippines, Smart has been leading the 5G revolution with its aggressive rollout of the country’s fastest and widest 5G network. To date, Smart has over 4,099 5G sites in over 3,300 locations nationwide. Moreover, no less than Ookla, the global leader in internet testing and analysis, has recognized Smart as the fastest 5G network in the country for the first half of 2021 and reported that Android and iOS devices work fastest on the Smart 5G network.
If you live or spend a lot of time in a location covered by Smart 5G, it makes perfect sense to take the leap and upgrade to a Smart 5G-certified smartphone, a device that is compatible with the Smart 5G network. This way, you can level up your digital experiences with blazing-fast speeds – whether it’s for high-speed file-sharing at work, business, or school, seamless streaming of ultra-HD movies for entertainment, or immersive lag-free gaming at your free time, among other online activities.
