As an important node for the upgrade of communication technology, 5G will comprehensively improve the speed, stability, reliability and low latency of the network, and realize various application scenarios that cannot be completed in the 4G era. In the face of the upcoming 5G era, major manufacturers are in full swing. Accelerate the layout, enter the final stage of the commercial sprint. The 5G era is coming, who is the main mobile phone manufacturer in China?
5G layout of domestic mobile phone manufacturers
This year's MWCS, many domestic mobile phone manufacturers Xiaomi, vivo, Lenovo, etc. also announced the layout of a new generation of 5G mobile phones, followed by a number of manufacturers have revealed their 5G research and development progress.
On August 15th, Motorola officially announced that the world's first upgradeable 5G mobile phone moto Z3 was officially released. The moto Z3 is mainly upgradeable 5G, which can access 5G network through 5G module, making 5G connection possible, implementing equipment and network. Compatible.
On August 28th, OPPO announced that the company successfully completed the connection of 5G signaling and data link based on commercial mobile phones. Two days later, OPPO's 'brother brand' vivo announced that based on the vivo NEX platform, vivo has been initially completed. Commercial 5G smart phone software and hardware development. Both parties said that they will launch their own 5G mobile phone in 2019.
On August 31, Xiaomi officially announced that Xiaomi's mobile phone successfully opened 5G signaling and data link connection for the first time. Xiaomi said that this is a milestone in Xiaomi's 5G R&D process.
Behind these vendors, the driving force for driving their 5G mobile phones is from the same company - Qualcomm. Huawei is not the same as them. It is the only manufacturer in China that uses self-developed processors. Qualcomm's dependence.
At the IFA conference in Germany, Yu Chengdong publicly stated that it is accelerating the promotion of 5G terminals. Up to now, the Huawei Hess Kirin 980 mobile platform can be used with the Barong 5000 modem to form a mobile platform that provides 5G functions.
5G terminal commercial approaching New track has been opened
At present, the domestic 5G industry is ushing in the sprint phase, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has clearly stated that it will achieve commercialization by 2020. The three major operators will actively deploy pilot cities in accordance with the plan of the IMT-2020 (5G) promotion group, and it is expected to start commercial use next year, starting after 2020. Fully commercial.
Relevant data shows that the global smartphone market is saturated and the growth rate is slow. Most mobile phone manufacturers are betting on 5G, expecting the recovery of the smartphone market. It can be seen that domestic manufacturers are actively deploying 5G terminals, obviously do not want to miss this. A vent.
A new era of communication will change the current status of the mobile phone industry. The faster speed will enable 5G mobile phones to achieve more possibilities. As the core terminal device of the Internet of Everything, the mobile phone will provide users with more functions, a big wave of The machine tide will come one after another.
Who can preemptively launch 5G terminals, and has a more favorable position in the 5G era. For all participants, the new 5G track has been opened.
What problems should manufacturers pay attention to?
Although 5G will bring dividends to mobile phone manufacturers, it should also be rational to look at possible problems.
First, the maturity of 5G technology is not enough.
Mastering the technology of getting through 5G signaling and data link does not mean that the integration of 5G technology has been completed. The launch of 5G terminal is the result of the joint efforts of the whole industry chain. The future technology integration of domestic manufacturers should be more mature.
Second, 5G mobile phones increase user usage costs.
As of the first half of 2018, the number of 4G online users in China has successfully exceeded 1.1 billion. The huge user community has long been accustomed to the use of 4G networks. With the commercial use of 5G mobile phones, the user's use cost may increase. Whether mobile phone manufacturers can give a smooth and stable transition plan, the module design of Lenovo Moto Z3 may be a direction.
Again, mobile phone information security in the 5G background may be more troublesome.
5G terminal security is not to be underestimated. Due to changes in demand scenarios, 5G mobile phone security issues are different from previous 3G/4G, and the challenges will be more complicated.
In summary, in the view of Nail Technology, before the advent of 5G, domestic mobile phone manufacturers should be pragmatic, do not need to over-provision their own research results, but must promote the maturity of technology in a down-to-earth manner. In addition, it is necessary to see 5G terminals at a security level in advance. Vulnerabilities, etc., develop solutions as early as possible to improve the experience.
