Sprint, the fourth largest GSM operator in the US, will release 5G-supported smartphones next year, along with South Korean electronics giant LG.
Sprint and LG‘s model or price of the 5G phone has yet to be disclosed. With the speed and flexibility that 5G technology can provide, it is expected that self-driving cars, virtual reality (VR) content broadcast over the Internet and telehealth technologies will be developed and widespread.
We can see every brand-specific mobile phone in 5G technology
Each of the GSM operators in the US has different 5G approaches. For example, an operator can use different radio waves and equipment than others. That is why we can see devices specific to GSM operators on the market. John Saw, who serves as CTO at Sprint, says that the 5G smart devices with nice design will be on the hands of users soon.
It is claimed that 5G make not empty the battery more
The LG-designed 5G phone will be in the upper segment category. It can also be used with 4G devices. Developers do not accept concerns about the 5G network‘s ability to expend phone battery faster. LG and Sprint are working in close cooperation with nearly 20 years. They are taking this partnership one step forward with the new generation 5G phone.
Sprint is not the only operator working for 5G
Sprint will deploy 5G in the US primarily in nine cities. These cities are; Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, New York, Phoenix and Washington.
Sprint is not the only GSM service provider in the 5G race. Another operator, Verizon, will collaborate with Motorola to bring the Motorola Moto Z3 model, powered by 5G, to the market next year. AT&T started building 5G hotspots nationwide. Sprint will join T-Mobile next year.
What is 5G?
The 5th Generation Mobile Telecommunication Service provides data transmission speeds up to 10 times faster than 4G technology.
5G started to be used by the International Telecommunication Union and the European Union by 2020.
Speed record in 5G technology was broken by Samsung in test environment in November 2016. Samsung announced the successful completion of the 5G prototype test in collaboration with China Mobile Research Institute (CMRI).
BTK telecommunications sector regulatory authorities in Turkey had started to work 5G and explained that Turkey would be one of the first countries using 5G.
