This development is both exciting and at same time sad. Exciting because come 2020 a new Mobile Platform from QUALCOMM that fully supports 5G will be on sale. This means more 5G phones will be in the market. It is sad at same time because not all countries have 5G network presently.
What is the use of getting a 5G phone when you don’t actually have a 5G network? Well for Nigerians they can be a little excited as MTN Nigeria have tested their 5G network in Abuja last week. More updates about 5G network in the country will be unveiled as time goes on.
However, technology is fast growing and QUALCOMM is not waiting behind. Expect more 5G enabled flagship and mid-range phones in 2020. We hope low budget phones also get a taste of the 5G network come 2020.
