First 5G smartphone is already in development, according to some information provided by the vice president of a mobile phone operator and no, we are not talking about a iPhone of the Apple company. Asked by journalists about the new 5G modem from Huawei, the vice president of SK Telekom said that Samsung is developing a 5G smartphone in 2018.
Of course, no details were provided regarding the specifications of this first 5G smartphone, but the vice president of the operator stated that Samsung "keeps quiet and does" unlike Huawei. It is known that Huawei brags a lot, but although it did this twice with Apple, it always launched its products after the Americans and the same thing would happen with Samsung.
The Samsung Galaxy S10 could be the first 5G smartphone
5G networks are currently very far from being widely available, so no one is in a hurry to launch a 5G smartphone, but 2019 will bring a surprise. We are talking about a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chip that is going to have support for 5G networks, and since Samsung Galaxy S10 will have it included, it could also be the first 5G smartphone.
"Huawei excels in its technologies... While Samsung may not say much, it has also been making a lot of preparations. It is not so far for Samsung either in coming up with a 5G device.”
However, Samsung recently stated that it no longer wants to be the first with technologies on the market, but wants to ensure that it can launch products that offer a good user experience. This means that it is still possible that the first 5G smartphone will come only when there are networks that can provide support for it, but it remains to be seen what Samsung will do.
