The first 5G-equipped smartphone will soon follow the P30
Pro which was released in London in May.
In an interview held in the event, Richard Yu, the executive of
Huawei, said to the CNET reporters that he expected the 5G
technology to be available on Mate series which are usually
launched in September or October. Therefore, the technology
is expected to be available on Mate series as well as the
updated version of P30 Pro. It is also likely that the first 5G
smartphone by Huawei will be a brand new version.
The 5G technology is one of the biggest trends of the mobile
technology in 2019, which has already been inaugurated by
mobile operators globally.
This wireless network technology will make ideas such as
smart houses, autonomous cars and independent virtual
reality (VR) more feasibly practical. However, as regard the
smartphones, it means faster and more reliable connection to
the Internet.
The 5G network and the phones which support it are now
available, but the technology is still in its beginning levels and
the key to its durability is the pioneering companies
manufacturing phones compatible with the technology.
The British government still hesitates to legalize the use of
Huawei network devices for the 5G infrastructure in the
country due to its probable connection with the Chinese
government.
Honor, the sister company of Huawei, also intends to
introduce its latest series of flagged phones by the following
week on May 21. Honor has not announced any news of
launching 5G technology to the market although George
Zhao, the executive of Honor, claimed that releasing 5G
smartphones is one of the company's top priorities this year
in an interview with CNET held in Mobile World Congress
(MWC) in February.
