**The Exciting World of 5G**

The transition from 3G to 4G created whole new industries, apps, and services, and this trend is expected to continue with 5G. The most exciting thing about 5G is what we don't know yet – the new applications and services that haven't been created yet. As Pete Lau, founder of OnePlus, mentioned at MWC, "5G will make things a lot faster." This means that downloads will be much quicker, but it's not just about speed. 5G also has much better latency, which is crucial for seamless communication.

**Latency and Gaming**

One of the most significant advantages of 5G is its ultra-low latency, as low as one millisecond. This makes multiplayer gaming a whole new experience. At Qualcomm's booth, a 5G-enabled OnePlus device was showcased playing Ace Combat on an Xbox controller via the cloud. The phone was just the hub, with all the processing and graphics done in the cloud. With 5G's ultra-low latency, there is no perceivable lag, making it ideal for online gaming.

**Changing Phone Specifications**

As 5G becomes a norm, people will be concerned more with cloud functionality and accessibility rather than phone specs like size or storage capacity. Pete Lau believes that 5G will enable a total change in indoor photography experience on smartphones. With critical services, the reliability of the network is much more predictable, allowing for autonomous driving capabilities.

**Autonomous Driving**

One of the mission-critical applications of 5G is autonomous driving. The reliability of the network is crucial for this technology to work. As Lau mentioned, "When you're in a mission-critical environment like a car that's trying to understand where it is on the road in relation to other cars and people, it can have the network to back that up." This means that 5G will be much more reliable than 4G, making autonomous driving a reality.

**Higher Capacity and Bandwidth**

Another significant benefit of 5G is its higher capacity and bandwidth. While 4G could support up to 10,000 connected devices in a square kilometer, 5G can handle up to 1 million. This means that even at busy events or airports, the internet will be much faster and more reliable.

**Availability of 5G**

The availability of 5G is expected to start this summer, with companies like OnePlus working to bring devices to market. The rollout of 5G infrastructure is also underway in various countries, including the UK. With multiple companies working together, it's likely that we'll see a plethora of 5G-enabled devices soon.

**Collaboration and Innovation**

As Lau mentioned earlier, it takes collaboration among different companies to provide 5G connectivity. Qualcomm provides the chips, manufacturers like OnePlus create the phones, and mobile networks like EE provide the data. This partnership is crucial for the success of 5G, as it enables innovation and improvement in areas like latency, capacity, and reliability.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey guys Anton the tech job here at Qualcomm booth at MWC and obviously this whole show this year is all about 5g but there's big questions over what 5g really means what it actually is fundamentally what kind of differences that will make to you now in our daily lives and if it's really worth getting excited about 5g is the next generation of mobile tech and it promises to be faster more efficient lower latency and more reliable especially in the busiest areas that all sounds great but what does it really mean for me and you well to find out more I went straight to the source and asked Qualcomm who make these Snapdragon processors and 5g modems that will power the vast majority of phones this year why 5g is a big deal everyone always ask the questions when there's a transition to new technology everyone says what are people going to use it for but what people don't realize is that when you look at count 4G for example we now have a whole new generation of companies like over like delivery that are offering services that weren't previously possible on the previous technology so what 5g will do will breed new opportunities and new companies to the fore they're embracing the capabilities of the new technology speaking on a panel at the conference mark olara from the ee network here in the UK had the same view you saw this transition from 3G to 4G you know that that created the ubers of this world the explosion of Facebook in Instagram the creation of Netflix from being a DVD rental company to what it is today that was fueled by faster better mobile networks what are these applications of the future and that's going to be the exciting thing new businesses creative new applications and services created so the transition from 3G to 4G created whole new industries apps and services and actually the most exciting thing about 5g is well what we'd actually don't know yet the new apps that haven't been created that's looking ahead though what benefits will 5g actually have this year Netflix and YouTube in gaming like why is 5g actually going to be important first of all they make things a lot faster you'll be able to download things much more quickly but that's not only that's not the only thing that'll be but it'll be doing so it's gonna have much better latency which means that your phone will communicate more quickly the network which will mean things like multiplayer gaming is a juddery experience it will be reliable hiding behind the glass and plastic shell at Qualcomm's booth is a 5g enabled oneplus device and they're actually playing ace combat on this thing with an xbox controller via the cloud the phone is just the hub essentially with all the processing and graphics during the cloud and then stream to the phone and with 5 G's ultra-low latency as low as one millisecond there's no perceivable lag and with the game running in the cloud which basically means as a server farm somewhere with high-end computers that's doing all that computational stuff and then the output is then streamed to your device it'll use hardly any of your battery life and it doesn't take up any storage space pete lau founder of oneplus I'm speaking through an interpreter thinks that 5g will mean that we actually will no longer look at phone specs in the same way people now are concerned with the sizes towards other device for the safe swearing more photos but as cloud functionality and uh Wow accessibility speed increases to 256 gigabytes of storage and it will enable a total change indoor photography experience on their legs using critical services which means that the reliability of the network is much more predictable ultimately you'll be able to do autonomous driving through 5g which isn't currently going to be possible on 3G or 4G I guess people see how often their mobile signal drops out if your car is being driven by that isn't that gonna be a danger in a concern that's my 5 G's been designed with mission-critical services at the forefront of the technology it's one of the foundational pillars that it's been built on so it would be a lot more reliable so when you're in a mission-critical environment like a car that's trying to understand where it is on the road in relation to other cars people and things it can it has the network to back that up so a 5g connection will also be much more reliable than 4G and while that's obviously great news for when we're all sitting in the back of our fancy autonomous cars in the future the higher capacity and bandwidth of 5g will actually have a big impact straightaway for example where 4G could work with up to 10,000 connected devices in a square kilometer 5g will work with up to 1 million so even if you're at a busy trade show like this or maybe you're waiting for your flight at the airport and you find that your internet is mega slow that's a bandwidth and capacity issue and a 5g will fix this people will be getting 5 - this summer 5g will be coming to the UK and it become to the rest of Europe and work we're doing work with companies like oneplus to bring devices to market so that in the next few months there will be new handsets that we'll be able to embrace the capabilities of 5g there's definitely an exciting buzz at this year's MWC it seems like 2019 is finally the year that we're going to see some proper 5g phones and this they are that's true if they're coming out then it's down to infrastructure in the UK we've got companies like EE providing the actual data the mobile network themselves we work Qualcomm providing the chips in the motor and in the handsets and then manufacturers like oneplus providing the phone so it does take a lot of work a lot of different companies coming together to provide that 5g connectivity but make sure you do stay tuned and hit that subscribe button as I'll actually be working with oneplus on a couple of more videos over the next month or two can we get you a bit more detail what 5g is in terms of how it actually works underneath all the technical stuff which is well some people very boring but to me is a bit of a nerd
