What different experience will 5G bring to you?
In June this year, as the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology officially issued 5G commercial licenses to China Telecom, China Mobile, China Unicom and China Radio and Television, China officially entered the first year of 5G commercial use.
Major mobile phone manufacturers are also gearing up to launch their own 5G mobile phones, such as HUAWEI Mate 20, ZTE AXON 10 Pro, SAMSUNG Galaxy Fold, etc. As a person who doesn't understand 5G and has never used 5G mobile phones, seeing the price of mobile phones tens of thousands, I believe your first impression of 5G is "expensive"!
Main Reason
The 5G mobile phone has a special identity
Although 5G technology has begun to conduct small-scale experiments for the society this year, it will not be until 2020 to really promote it nationwide.
Therefore, the first batch of 5G mobile phones on the market can be completely understood as operators' internal test machines or user experience machines. The main function of such products is not to allow users to enjoy new technologies, but to use the entire system. Perform testing. The first batch of 5G mobile phones can also be regarded as a kind of qualification certification, so there will be a certain premium in the price.The increase in mobile phone costs
5G mobile phones are not only as simple as replacing a 5G Internet chip, because 5G has faster transmission speed and larger data capacity. Therefore, in order to make the mobile phone perfectly display the 5G effect, many accessories must be fully upgraded. And 5G mobile phones also need to add new technologies such as millimeter wave on the original basis, and major operators also have new hardware requirements for 5G mobile phones.
In the case of increased objective demand, 5G mobile phones will increase costs. Of course, not every 5G mobile phone is very expensive. China Mobile has stated that 5G mobile phones will begin to significantly reduce prices at the end of this year due to the maturity of related industries. By 2020, when 5G networks are promoted nationwide, 5G mobile phones are likely to reach the price of 1,000 yuan.
After talking about the hardware price, I believe you must be very concerned about what features 5G has and what different experiences it can bring to us. Let me give you a brief look below.
High speed
5G provides a peak data download rate of up to 10Gbps, while the peak rate of 4G is about 100Mbps, that is to say, the download speed of 5G is 100 times faster than it is now.
Ideally, we can download a 1G HD video in a few seconds. 4K video requires a minimum download speed of 25Mbps, and 4G cannot meet this requirement. Therefore, 4K live video streaming becomes possible in a 5G environment.
In addition, VR/AR has a huge demand for bandwidth, and 5G makes it possible to realize virtualization such as VR. 2G can watch Mr. Cang’s novels, 3G can watch Mr. Cang’s pictures, 4G can watch Mr. Cang’s videos, and 5G can interact with Mr. Cang in VR.
Low latency
The current 4G network has a network delay of about 50ms, while the 5G network delay will be as low as 1ms. What are the benefits?
For example: in the 4G era, unmanned driving cannot be popularized mainly because of high network latency. Do you think, a car at a speed of 60Km/h, the braking error distance of 50ms is 1m, this 1m may be the distance between life and death, and the delay of the 5G network is 1ms, so that the braking error distance is reduced to 2cm, and the automatic Driving on the road makes it possible to ensure driving safety.
In addition, a large number of unmanned devices and AI will be widely popularized and applied. With 5G, we can truly enter the era of artificial intelligence.
Internet of Everything
In 5G networks, in addition to common 3C products such as smart phones and PCs, more terminal devices, such as smart cars, smart homes, and public safety facilities, can also be incorporated into the network, making the Internet of Things possible.
For example, the Internet of Things can monitor road traffic conditions in real time, so that we can go out without being congested; we can also learn about parking space information in time, which largely solves the problem of "difficult parking, difficult parking".
For another example, even if there is no one at home, you can use your mobile phone to remotely control various smart homes, and even these smart homes can learn our usage habits, so as to achieve fully automatic and considerate operations.
Such as smart air conditioner, it will automatically adjust to the most suitable temperature, so that we can enjoy the comfort brought by ice when we go home.
Even the inconspicuous home appliance accessories such as sockets can be completely intelligent. The future smart sockets will allow us to remotely control sockets to turn on and off the current regularly, monitor the power consumption of the equipment, generate power consumption graphs, and see the power consumption at a glance.
The advent of 5G will completely change our way of life, allowing us to enter the digital and informatized intelligent era. In the future, most operations in our lives can be achieved through mobile phones.
