A 5G tablet will allow you to browse, game, stream and download the content you love like never before. 5G tablets are designed to work on 5G networks, which are currently being rolled out across the UK. To use 5G on your tablet, you’ll need:
- A 5G compatible tablet
- A 5G data plan
- To be in an area which has 5G coverage
Remember that you don’t need to use 5G on your 5G tablet all the time – you can still use it with WiFi at home, or use 4G when you want to. We’re constantly expanding our 5G network, and where 5G isn’t yet available you can trust our award-winning network to keep you connected. Check to see if your area has 5G coverage and see which cities in the UK have 5G coverage.

Getting 5G data on your tablet
There are two ways of getting 5G data for your tablet.
- If you already have a 5G-ready LTE tablet, you can get a pay monthly 5G SIM only data plan for tablets
- You can buy a 5G tablet with a 5G data plan on contract from Vodafone - just choose our Unlimited Max data plan or one of our Red plans to access 5G speeds
Don’t forget that you don’t have to use 5G all the time - all of our 5G tablets can be used with a WiFi connection. Simply switch off your data connection and join a WiFi network as normal - just open your tablet’s settings like you would on your mobile, and toggle to which connection you want to use. You can also still use 4G on our award-winning network when you're in area which doesn't have 5G yet.
The benefits of 5G tablets
5G works with minimal lagging or buffering, even in busy places - so as long as you’re in an area with 5G coverage, you’ll be able to make video calls, send messages to family and friends, plus stream your favourite films and games. That makes 5G tablets great if you need stay in touch with people in busy places. 5G tablets are also perfect for working on the go - you can download, edit and upload files to the cloud, make lag-free video calls and switch easily between windows to keep on top of different projects.
5G tablets come with the latest cutting-edge technology and tend to feature hardworking batteries which can last throughout busy days, large, high-definition screens and powerful processors, as well as superb cameras. If you’re an Android user, you can expect an operating system you’re familiar with, and 5G tablets will still feature the stylus and keyboard connectivity you love so you can use them like you would use a laptop.
