The world’s first 5G smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G, just made its debut in South Korea and the United States. Here is everything you need to know about the new Galaxy S10 5G smartphone!
Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Debuts In South Korea!
Smartphones users in South Korea were, naturally, the first to experience the thrill of 5G, with the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G smartphone.
But the US was right behind – it is now available for pre-order exclusively with Verizon!
5G Means More Speed
5G delivers mobile Internet at speeds that are 20 times faster than 4G! Such high speed Internet connectivity will make cloud services much more useful and ubiquitous.
Thanks to the high download and upload speeds, it will accelerate the adoption of high-definition streaming content. Ultimately, this means a better viewing experience for 5G users.
Online Gaming And Sports
5G will change the ways smartphone users engage in online gaming, watch sports events and enjoy other content such as music streaming.
The greatly-accelerated speeds will shorten response time so much that users will experience an almost real-time response with most types of content.
This means more enjoyable live telecasts of sporting events, and first-person or racing games.
5G technology will also allow developers to create more immersive content in higher resolution than is possible with current 4G technology.
5G Powers Augmented Reality (AR)
5G also brings AR to life. The Samsung Galaxy S10 5G uses AR in its 3D Depth Camera to deliver better video content and sharper images.
The camera also comes with a Quick Measure feature that analyses size and distance of objects so users can take more precise pictures.
