What is the coolest 5G phone concept so far?The Apex 2019 concept smartphone from Vivo offers 5G, a screen-wide fingerprint sensor, and zero ports. It features just a single piece of glass and combines capacitive and pressure sensors for volume and sleep functions and uses a magnetic connector for all charging and data transferring.

5G – it’s the biggest tech buzzword of 2019 so far (with foldable smartphones as a close second) and it’s obvious why as we’ve certainly come a long way. While 1G was useful, 2G gave us SMS and MMS texting options. The first 3G smartphone was actually announced in 2001 in Japan, allowing users to surf the ’net while on the go. In July 2008, we saw the first 3G iPhone (complete with your choice of 8GB or 16GB of storage). Then, 4G came on the scene in 2009, spreading 4G LTE and upgraded variants to countries all over the world.

Did we mention we’re giving away the Huawei Mate X foldable smartphone for free? It’s equipped with 5G capability!

What is 5G?

So, what’s the next big thing in mobile connectivity? 5G, of course. The latest connection offers even faster speeds and reliability for more users. Coverage will be improved, signaling will be improved, and latency should be reduced.

Along with mobile devices, it’s predicted that 5G will also help connect IoT devices and serve as connection for broadcasting and lifeline communications in the event of an emergency or disaster.

When will 5G be available?

According to Next Generation Mobile Networks Alliance, 5G will be widely available for businesses and consumers by 2020. However, companies such as Verizon and AT&T are launching their new 5G networks this year.

Will my phone work on 5G?

No. But, new 5G devices will work on 5G as well as 4G LTE when 5G coverage isn’t available.
