The operator has announced that 5G is coming soon, and its three major advantages are obvious.

The three major operators officially announced

Since the three major operators obtained 5G commercial licenses last year, they have entered a high-speed development mode of 5G. From the construction of basic 5G base stations to the promotion of 5G package services, plus the fact that there are already hundreds of 5G mobile phones in China, China's 5G has taken the lead in the world.

In order to avoid frequent changes in mobile phones in the future, users will directly choose models that support 5G networks. Operators have also built nearly 700,000 5G base stations. It is not enough to just build base stations, but also to launch 5G applications in the context of the 5G era, such as 5G messaging.

In the 5G era, the three major operators have deployed not only base stations, but also 5G messages. 5G messages are an application that replaces traditional text messages. There were reports of 5G messages several months ago, but there has been no progress.

But at the 2020 China Mobile Global Partner Conference, new progress was reported.

Mainstream brands in the market such as Huawei, Xiaomi, OV, and Samsung have passed the functional test of 5G messages. Among them, many Xiaomi mobile phones can already support China Mobile users to use 5G messages. Huawei will also upgrade the 5G message function for China Mobile mobile phone users at the end of November.

The operator has announced that 5G messaging will be available soon, and all domestic 5G mobile phone users will be able to use 5G messaging. So what exactly is 5G messaging? What are its advantages?

What is 5G messaging?

Before you want to understand the advantages of 5G messages, you must first know what 5G messages are.

Before the rise of social software such as WeChat and QQ, everyone used the SMS function on their mobile phones to send text messages to the contacts they needed. However, each text message was charged unless they subscribed to a related package. Moreover, the content sent was very limited, mainly in the form of text.

This is the most basic application of SMS. Until QQ and WeChat became popular, people’s SMS had no other use except receiving verification codes and spam messages.

The limitations of SMS have indirectly promoted the rise of social software, and 5G messaging is a 5G application that replaces SMS, supporting video, text, pictures, file transfer and other functions of social software such as WeChat and QQ.

5G messaging is a phenomenal 5G software that will be launched by operators in the future and will be supported by major mobile phone manufacturers.

Three major advantages are obvious

The advantages of 5G messages can be seen from these features.

The first advantage: 5G messages are pre-installed and do not require users to download. In the future, users will be able to use 5G messages from the moment they buy a 5G phone. There will be as many 5G message users as there are 5G phones.

WeChat requires users to actively download and install it. This is okay in China, but if 5G messages are promoted to 5G mobile phones abroad, users may not download WeChat.

The second advantage: 5G messages support offline operations. As we all know, almost all functions of WeChat require an Internet connection. Without an Internet connection, nothing can be done. However, 5G messages are different. Sending pictures, videos, transferring files, etc. can all be done offline.

Just like the current text messages, even if there is no network, you can still send text messages to contacts, which is another major advantage of 5G messages. More importantly, you can send messages as long as you know the other party's mobile phone number, while WeChat still requires adding friends.

The third advantage: the promotion of the 5G trend. 5G messages are a product built on the background of the 5G era, so with the promotion of the 5G trend, more and more users will use 5G messages. Mobile phone manufacturers have also cooperated with operators and passed the test of 5G message functions. Soon 5G messages will be able to spread at a very fast speed and serve every 5G mobile phone user.

Summarize

WeChat did not expect that it would come so quickly. In the 4G era, no other social software could compete with WeChat. Even QQ was defeated by WeChat.

However, with the rapid development of 5G, 5G messaging is likely to shake the position of WeChat. If it were not for the two major advantages of free and mobile payment, I believe users would definitely choose other social software.

However, if 5G messaging can fill this gap in the future and also support mobile payment and be free, WeChat may not be able to stand out. Of course, the final answer will only be revealed when operators realize 5G commercial use by the end of the year, so let us wait and see.
