The first batch of 5G mobile phones are about to be launched! What is the use of 5G? Should I change the card or the phone? Finally someone has made it clear...

Hello, everyone. I am Xue Zhiqian of the technology industry—PhD.

With the rapid development of the times, the level of science and technology in our country is really getting higher and higher.

Especially in terms of mobile phones and the Internet, the speed of replacement is like a tornado. After all, mobile phones have become an indispensable "daily standard" for people in our information society.

Recently, a relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology stated that it is expected that the first 5G mobile phone will be launched in the second half of 2019.

So the question is, what is the point of changing to a 5G phone with faster network speed? Do we need to change the SIM card or the phone? What impact and changes will it bring to the smartphone market?

The first batch of 5G mobile phones are expected to be available in the second half of 2019.

It is understood that at the first Digital China Construction Summit held on April 22, Wen Ku, deputy director of the Information and Communications Development Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, expressed the hope that the first 5G mobile phone will be launched in the second half of 2019.

According to the plan, the first batch of 5G chips are expected to be taped out before New Year's Day 2019 and completed around the Spring Festival. In the first half of 2019, commercial base station construction will be carried out, and the first batch of 5G mobile phones will be produced in the second half of the year.

At the same time, the National Development and Reform Commission and other relevant departments have approved China Unicom, China Telecom, and China Mobile to pilot the construction of 5G networks in some cities including Beijing.

On April 23, Chongqing's first 5G network was successfully launched. On-site tests showed that the 5G network speed exceeded 10Gbps, the latency was almost zero, and a two-hour high-definition movie could be downloaded in one second.

However, with the advent of 5G, most users are more concerned about whether they need to replace their mobile phones and SIM cards, and whether data consumption will increase.

Do I need to change my phone and SIM card?

In this regard, China Mobile's official microblog recently conducted a popular science article:

“First, since 5G uses new technologies/frequencies that are not supported by current mobile phones, if users want to experience the new experience brought by 5G, they need to update to a 5G mobile phone; if they do not update to a 5G mobile phone, they will not be able to experience 5G, but they can still use 4G/2G normally.

In addition, in the 5G era, users can continue to use 4G SIM cards to access the 5G network through 5G phones; new SIM cards will also be provided for the 5G network. "

Will the data consumption increase faster?

Secondly, the increase in 5G speed and the increased Internet or download speed reduce the waiting time for users to obtain the same amount of data. That is, when downloading a movie, the total traffic remains unchanged, but the speed is increased.

What can 5G networks do for us?

First of all, we are in a 5G era where everything is connected, and everything is condensed into a point on the Internet of Things. For Marvel fans like us, if we want a cool and advanced house like the one in the "Iron Man" movie, it will be just around the corner.
