Samsung released on Wednesday its first 5G smartphone: Samsung Galaxy S10 5G. It will be the first smartphone to work on 5G fast internet networks. The phone will be available from the second half of 2019, and the price is not yet known.
Although the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G is an important step in developing smartphone technology, the 5G network is not yet sufficiently developed to revolutionize the way we use the internet.
"A smartphone such as the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G is important to Samsung from a strategic point of view, especially in the markets where the 5G network will be launched, ie in the US, South Korea and China," he told CNN Ben Wood, Director research by CCS Insights.
By launching the new Samsung Galaxy S10 5G, Samsung is one step ahead of Apple, which will not have a smartphone compatible with the 5G network until the end of 2020.
For now, there is no smartphone in the US that can operate independently in the 5G network.
The transition from 4G to 5G will not take place globally by 2020, as it will involve billions of dollars in infrastructure investment.
In Romania, the National Strategy for 5G Implementation was launched in November 2018. 5G technology is a new technology that aims to bring in revenue by nearly € 5 billion by 2026 and create 250,000 jobs.
Implementing the 5G Network is all the more important as modern technology makes more and more of people's lives. The latest data shows that 75% of households have access to the internet.
With the entry of 5G technology, everything will change. Not just video clips, but also a much faster connection to areas such as agriculture, transport and health.
The National Strategy for the Implementation of 5G in Romania aims to ensure that by 2025 all urban centers, modernized motorways and railways, international ports and airports are covered with the new technology. Also, to maximize the socio-economic benefits, there will be 7 pilot projects distributed throughout the country.
