China Mobile, the world's largest telecom carrier by mobile subscribers, 

announced the delivery of over 10,000 5G terminals on 25th June, 2019, which was the country's first large-scale delivery of 5G devices. 

According to Li Huidi, vice-president of China Mobile, a total of 42 types of terminals, 

mainly consisting of smartphones and customer premise equipment, were delivered to major device manufacturers such as Huawei, Xiaomi, Oppo, ZTE and One-Plus. 

The fresh devices entered the market as early as in July after being granted network access from the authorities, said Li. 

The telecom carrier plans to build 50,000 5G base stations in over 50 cities this year and will offer 5G services to all the prefecture-level cities next year, he said.
