5G is the latest and
most advanced information and telecommunications technology. It offers users
new, enhanced mobile broadband experiences with faster connectivity, decreased
latency, and power efficiency. The world’s first 5G-equipped phone will be the
Samsung Galaxy S21. If you own a Samsung Galaxy S21 or any other compatible
device, you can start utilizing 5G to make your life easier today!
The following are some
of the benefits that come with owning a 5G-enabled phone:.
What is 5G?
If you think you’re
hearing 5G being talked about a lot at the moment, you’re right. After all, 5G
really is a new and advanced form of mobile communication, which will be
heading our way very soon.
In reality, the term
5G covers a lot more than just a faster internet connection. 5G will make our
world more energy efficient, plus it will bring with it many other useful
upgrades.
But just what does it
mean and what are we expecting it to be able to do?
Here’s what you need
to know…
What is 5G?
5G is the next generation of wireless connectivity, following on from 4G LTE and 3G.
The name came about in
2018 when it became widely accepted that the next generation of wireless
connectivity would be one that offered much faster internet speeds.
Why this matters for the Samsung Galaxy S21
Samsung may have
started the trend with its 6.2-inch "Infinity Display" on the Galaxy
S8 but it's been innovating smartphone screens ever since. Despite the Galaxy
S9 and S9+ now measuring 6.2 and 6.1-inches respectively, they are only a small
step forward in terms of physical size for Samsung's current flagship series,
as they still rely on a physical Home button beneath the display for a
fingerprint reader.

have a single 12MP camera on the back. Image: RAYMOND WONG/MASHABLE
The company has also
abandoned waterproofing, but the S9 and S9+ continue to have single-lens rear
cameras (no dual-lens ones) and 16MP selfie cameras.
Is the Samsung Galaxy S21 5G a good phone?
The Galaxy S21 is the
first Samsung phone to make use of the 5G network that’s set to arrive in Korea
later this year. But when we asked what that 5G network means for you, the
question that always comes up is about speed.
With speeds expected
to be up to 1 gigabit a second, 1 gigabit a second is around the speed of the
fastest of today’s 4G networks. That’s up from around 50 megabits a second now
on a 4G network.
It’s going to be way
faster than the 6.2 megabits a second the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus is capable of,
and while it’s certainly quicker than most home Wi-Fi connections, it’s still
not as fast as your old 4G connection.
So, should you upgrade
to the Galaxy S21? For a smartphone that’s been around for a long time, the S21
is actually a pretty good device.
What are the benefits of the Samsung S21?
Most smartphones
are also part of the Google Android system. If we use your device time and
time again, it will get slowly fixed down into full time just like any other
normal Android system. Now, if your Galaxy S5 device that came out this year
got this update then we can't say that that it will get the Samsung S21 app
support full time. In this aspect, the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge that
came out last year do not get Android Pay and Google's first-generation
operating system, Android 5.0 Lollipop. So, why is it that your phone does not get
the update to the full operating system and Google's first version of Android?
Well, not all the
updates roll out to the device as soon as they are released.
What is the difference between Samsung S20 5G and S21 5G?
The 5Grace is about
to begin, and South Korea is probably ready for its mission. Samsung has
launched its much-anticipated Galaxy S series of smartphones with 5G technology
on board, bringing us closer to the revolution that is expected to spend our
daily lives.
The Galaxy S series is
Samsung's bestselling line of phones and a testament to the fact that we like
to have almost everything but the kitchen sink in our phones. The current
models are the Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy S9, both of which have already arrived
in India. But their predecessors are still the most popular smartphone in the
country.
We are looking at the
Galaxy S8 to the left and the S9 to the right.
How can I use Samsung S21 5G?
The Samsung Galaxy S21
is now a 5G phone, as are its S9 and S9+. Once the Galaxy S9 range was
revealed, Samsung was keen to push the "S Voice" feature, a service
that will leverage the 5G network to interpret words spoken into your phone,
and dictate a text. However, to get access to the 5G technology required for
the service, you'll need a 5G-ready Samsung phone. Luckily, the Samsung Galaxy
S21 will be the first 5G-ready Samsung phone, when it's announced at the end of
March.
For the impatient, one
of the UK's leading mobile retailers Three has confirmed that they will be
selling the Samsung Galaxy S21 on the 29th March, exclusively. However, no
other carrier has been confirmed.
Conclusion
The Samsung Galaxy S20 may be the first Samsung smartphone in which we can say that we have used a 5G phone. There's no reason to wait for another three years to see the 5G next generation of mobile communication as Samsung is planning to roll out the first 5G devices at the MWC 2019 tech show that will be held in Barcelona, Spain between February 25 and 28. The South Korean tech giant is said to be working on a 5G chipset and the 5G-powered Galaxy S20 is likely to be a part of the debut. However, considering that there are numerous 5G devices coming up, it may be a little too early to talk about the device that may come with a 5G network. We will know more about the 5G Galaxy S20 in the coming days. read More
