"We're not merely relabeling a technology ... [5G] is meaningful," said Mike Haberman, Verizon's VP of network engineering, who was introduced to me on the phone as "Mr. 5G." "This will change the way people work, this will change the way businesses can be efficient. This will change education." 

As wonderful as the 5G future sounds, the first stirrings of our 5G present was confusing, frustrating and disappointing as the lightning-fast speeds on some benchmarking tests failed to translate into real gains when downloading large app and video files. Verizon's first and right now only 5G phone, the Moto Z3 with 5G Moto Mod, also appeared unable to lock onto and maintain a 5G connection, flickering often to a 4G icon. And when the battery on the Moto Mod I was using completely drained, my 5G cut out too, without me even realizing it.
