US Carrier AT&T has announced a new affordable 5G smartphone for its customers in its home country. The device is officially called AT&T Fusion 5G. The handset was initially said to support mmWave 5G but it actually doesn’t. Users will be limited to sub-6GHz 5G like most budget 5G phones.

The newly unveiled AT&T Fusion 5G is priced at $219.99 or $6.12 per month with no trade-in in the US. It will be available for purchase from Friday, January 7.

As far as specifications are concerned, the telecom operator hasn’t revealed much about the smartphone. However, Digital Trends has mentioned some of the primary specs in their story.

According to the publication, the AT&T Fusion 5G is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 700 SoC. This chipset is paired with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage. If needed, the storage can be further expanded via a MicroSD card slot.

Further, the handset sports a 6.82-inch HD+ (720 x 1640 pixels) display with a dewdrop notch and a huge chin. The screen is most likely an LCD panel though the telecom giant hasn’t disclosed it.

It has a fingerprint sensor and a quad-camera setup on the back consisting of a 48MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide unit, a 2MP macro snapper, and a 2MP depth sensor. For selfies and video calls, it uses a 13 MP shooter that resides inside the notch.

Connectivity options on the phone include dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.1, NFC, USB Type-C, and 3.5mm headphone jack. Finally, it runs Android 11 backed by a 4,750mAh battery with support for fast charging (charged included in the box) and wireless charging.
