5G is coming ans OEM's are preparing for next- generation smartphone that will take an advantage of follow-up to 4G LTE technology.
The latest is Oppo, which has completed its initial 5G testing with a modified version of the R15 smartphone.
This smartphone of Oppo was fitted with Qualcomm's latest snapdragon X50 5G modem. Using this standard, the Oppo R15 with the Snapdragon X50 can access 10MHz bandwidth of LTE (Band 5) and 20Hz bandwidth 5G NR (n78 Band). With the data and knowledge that is has learned from these initial trials, Oppo says that it is on track to deliver its first 5G smartphones in 2019.
Liu Chang, President of Oppo Research Institute, said to MyDrivers that the test lays the foundations for a commercial release of a 5G-ready device that should arrive in 2019. This doubles on the information from the Oppo R17 announcement from the company marketing director that it might be among the first to introduce 5G smartphones.
Not to be left out, Motorola's recently announced Moto Z3 will be available with an optional 5G Moto Mod that will operate exclusively on Verizon's 5G wireless network. It too will be available in early 2019 for an undisclosed price.
Both LG and Motorola's 5G products will make use of the Snapdragon X50 5G modem. According to Motorola and Qualcomm engineers that we spoke with in Chicago in early August, the target downlink speeds (on Verizon's 5G network) for the Moto Z3 with the 5G Moto Mod will be around 5Gbps.
