That’s not 5G; something hotter is on the way. The next generation of mobile communication is called 5G-Advanced, or 5GA for short. Numerous reports from earlier have hinted at the amount of effort tech corporations are devoting to the development of 5.5G. With the announcement that the first smartphones in the market will support 5.5G, another advancement has been made. The Oppo Find X7 series is the first in the industry to gain the newest connectivity option, which may surprise some.
In terms of 5.5G, it will be a step forward for both increased speed and network enhancement in general. The 5.5G network can achieve up to 10Gbps download and 1Gbps upload speeds, which is 300% faster than what is advertised on paper. Not only that, but 5G-Advanced also has two other noteworthy features: slicing and artificial intelligence (AI), which enhance network connectivity overall. All of this is made possible by China Mobile’s tireless efforts. By the end of 2024, they hope to have covered over 300 large cities. For network coverage, their first priorities will be large cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou.
For 5.5G Support, Look for the Oppo X7 Series
Having said that, cellphones now enable 5.5G, which is the most recent development. Oppo Find X7 Ultra functioning on a 5GA connection is suggested in the Oppo Chief Product Officer Pete Lau’s post on X. In addition, the corporation has made a special announcement. It shows that this new connectivity will be supported by the Oppo Find X7 in its vanilla form as well, making this series the industry’s first.
For those who don’t know, the Oppo Find X7 Ultra is powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen3, while the vanilla model is powered by Dimensity 9300. However, they will both be compatible with the new 5G-Advanced. This is an intriguing development that suggests a large number of devices may eventually receive the newest standard. Nevertheless, it will be interesting to observe how 5.5G compares to 5G in real-world scenarios.
