According to foreign media reports, recently, Durga Prasad Malladi, vice president of Qualcomm, said in an interview with the media that 5G smart phones could be launched as soon as this year, with a maximum speed of 4.5Gbps (download speed of 576MB/s).

Malladi said that at present, some manufacturers are preparing to launch 5G devices in early 2019, but a few companies are striving to release relevant products in some regions in advance. Some telecom operators' 5G technologies meet the available standards. Qualcomm is helping these companies commercialize 5G in advance, which may be realized by the end of 2018.

The increase in the network speed of the first batch of 5G products is not a sudden attack. Malladi said that the early 5G network speed launched by telecom operators was between 1Gbps and 4.5Gbps, usually 2Gbps to 4Gbps, which is 2-4 times the peak speed of 4G networks. If the millimeter wave test is conducted in San Francisco, half of the users' networks can reach 1.4Gbps. Verizon, the US telecom operator, initially planned to launch a 5G broadband package that supports desktop computers and televisions. Malladi thought it would be easier than providing 5G network signals to mobile devices.

Through Malladi's introduction, we can know that the 5G device that will be launched at the end of 2018 as soon as possible is just an initial product, which is different from the truly mature 5G product in technology. Friends who want to try 5G can not worry about changing 4G phones now, but it is more sensible to buy 5G phones when the truly mature 5G technology is.
