At the recently opened MWCS2018 exhibition, Huawei’s rotating CEO Xu Zhijun said that Huawei will launch a commercial 5G solution and a 5G chip for smartphones in March 2019. At the same time, Huawei plans to release 5G smartphones in the next six meals.
These actions by Huawei are very aggressive, especially considering that operators are still in the early stages of testing 5G networks. The reason why Huawei can announce 5G commercial solutions and 5G mobile phones so early is mainly due to 3GPP R15 5G. The introduction of independent networking standards, which accelerated the development of 5G networks and services.
In Xu Zhijun's view, mobile communication has actually formed two major businesses of mobile voice and mobile Internet in the past 40 years. The mobile voice has been used for 1 year, 1G, 2G and 3G for 30 years, which basically meets the needs of users who want to use and use. Mobile Internet, especially mobile video, has not reached the development level of mobile voice from 3G to 4G. Huawei expects that 5G can help mobile Internet reach the height of mobile voice, let users want to use it and use it easily, and 5G can also cultivate mobile AR/ New business such as VR.
It is worth noting that Huawei did not indicate which mobile phone will be the first to support 5G. However, from the time period, Huawei's P series obviously missed this time period, so the Mate series may be the first to support 5G technology.
