Samsung is "not far" to launch a 5G smartphone, Really?

-


A South Korean operator dropped this rumour without giving a timetable. But according to our information, the manufacturers of the devices still have a job.

The commercial launch of 5 G is close. "Acceleration takes place, the ecosystem is in place, all the conditions are there," explained recently Laurent Fournier, CEO of Qualcomm France.

It must be said that the demand for bandwidth is such that everyone in the value chain are put into battle together to reduce delays. And last December, the Release 15, first technological specifications dedicated to 5 G NR (New Radio) have been published by the 3GPP (mobile technologies standardization association). They validate including exploitation of under 6 GHz frequency bands as in the sphere of the millimeter wave.

"We now expect a potential commercial launch for the first half of 2019 with the first smartphones equipped with modems 5G", still coming the founder who hasalready unveiled its compatible 5G modem chip.

And some manufacturers who work closely with Qualcomm display already their ambitions. Chinese Oppo indicates that he intends to be one of the first to offera 5G smartphone to market. The announcement was made by its CEO, Tony Chen. Without giving any timetable.



During the Mobile World Congress 2018, the technical manager of SK Telecom, the South Korean telecom operator, said that Samsung "wasn't far from throwing a 5 G device", according to FrAndroid, here again without giving a timetable.

It is indeed occupy the media field. Because according to our information, talk of imminent launch is somewhat exaggerated. For Qualcomm, has been said, should not count on 5 G smartphones before the mid-2019. We also interviewed the Technical Director of Orange on the issue, and for him, the manufacturers still have work.

"The manufacturers strive to demonstrate that they will be ready in the second half of 2019 with terminals that support the first release of 5 G." "But there is still work, notably on issues of optimization of consumption", said Laurent Benatar. The main problem is the impact of the use of the 5G on the battery, impact at this very important time.
