Turkcell and Samsung plan to bring 650,000 5G phones to customers
Turkcell and Samsung have expanded their 5G partnership with an agreement signed at Samsung’s headquarters in South Korea.
The Turkish telecom company and Samsung aim to provide 650,000 Samsung 5G-compatible phones to Turkcell customers by the end of 2027, including at least 200,000 premium models during 2027.
The deal covers all Samsung models that support 5G.
Many Turkcell customers still use phones that support 4.5G, so the companies say access to compatible devices is important for wider 5G use.
A phone replacement program starts in November 2026 and will continue through 2027, offering customers deals and personalized offers to upgrade.
Turkcell and Samsung say the partnership is intended to make it easier for customers to move to 5G and access newer devices.
Turkcell also plans to develop programs to help its retail staff explain the new devices and services.
