According to Pete, 5G technology, its applications,
implications and potential development will go through
three stages of development: 5G 1.0, 5G 2.0 and 5G 3.0. In
the coming three to five years, the world will be enjoying
5G 1.0. In the next 10 years will transition through these 3
stages.“One of the greatest perks in smartphones and related
applications for 5G 1.0 will be the massive improvement
in data transfer speed, which will create an illusion where
cloud data is stored like local data. In the following 5
years, to which we will be referring to as the 5G 2.0 era,
smartphones are predicted to be able to achieve more
mature AI functions to connect a much wider range of
devices,” explains Pete on the development of 5G. He
added that, “With the well-established infrastructure and
diverse smart devices in the market after 10 years, we’ll
be embracing the era of 5G 3.0, where everything is
smartly interconnected and a truly burden-less experience
can be achieved. The service will be there only when
you need it, and be on standby out of your way when not
needed.”Promotion
With the year of commercial 5G coming, the industry has
been focused on hardware upgrades and have neglected
app designs for the most part. Therefore, as a leader in 5G
technology, OnePlus is thinking ahead and brainstorming
ideas on how it could bring a better user experience to its
customers both on in hardware and software.On that note, OnePlus has announced “5G Apps of
Tomorrow”, a challenge to global developers on designing
a new 5G application that would benefit users. OnePlus
is aiming to integrate industry resources and support the
design of future 5G apps with talented developers.With access to experts at OnePlus, as well as 5G
smartphone hardware, and 5G network environments
with support from EE, and consultation with Qualcomm
Technologies Inc., 5G Apps of Tomorrow will draw on the
unique OnePlus community to reimagine 5G capabilities.
Applications to the program are open now at
oneplus.com/5G and close on 26th March. EventualPaving the way for 5G Apps of Tomorrow
