5G: Learning about the benefits and transformations it brings to our lives

There was a time when our phones had a 2G network and then 3G before it was upgraded to 4G network. Nowadays we hear countries are racing to take steps to deploy 5G networks. But what is it really all about 5G and what does it mean to us consumers?

5G will not only make our smartphones better, but it will also usher in new immersive experiences, such as VR and AR, with faster data rates and lower latency. But in order to enjoy this potential speed we would need a phone that is equipped with 5G. HUAWEI Mate 20 X (5G), the King of 5G Smartphones, is one of the first phones in line to provide us a better 5G experience. Let us discover what this phone can do!

What is SA and NSA? Why are they important?

There is one important thing that you need to know before you buy your next 5G smartphone: It should have both Non-standalone (NSA) and Standalone (SA). Currently,the global 5Gindustryisrapidlyexpanding intothecommercialphase.Telecomoperatorsinvariouscountriesand regions have adopted twomainstreamnetworkingmethods, Non-standalone (NSA) and Standalone (SA), to buildlocal5Gnetworks accordingto the developmentoflocal5G.

The first wave of networks of 5G networks will be classed as Non-Standalone (NSA), which is to say the 5G networks will be supported by existing 4G infrastructure. However moving forward there will be a switch to the 5G Standalone (SA) network which is the ultimate true 5G solution. The advantage of Standalone (SA) is simplification and improved efficiency, the eventual migration from 5G NSA to SA by operators should be invisible to the user.

HuaweiMate20 X (5G) is the world’s first 5G smartphone* that works on both SA (Standalone) and NSA (Non-Standalone) network architecture. If users purchase a phone that only supports (NSA), once the migration to (SA) takes place, phones that lack this feature will not work with (SA) 5G networks. As an example if users with 5G smartphones that only support Non-standalone (NSA) travel to countries where there is a Standalone (SA) 5G, their smartphones will not work. China Telecom has announced that it will move to SA by 2020, meaning that only devices with SA support will work in China.

Meanwhile withHuaweiMate20X(5G) users can rest assured as the device is able to support both Non-standalone (NSA) and Standalone (SA) 5G networks, meaning that it can work in different countries and at the different stages of the 5G networks development.Itis be able tomeetthe communicationcapabilitiesof usersandoperators atdifferentstages ofhardwaredevelopment.
