Despite the fact that SoC processors with 5G technology are already starting to develop, it may still take a few years for phones and connectivity to become popular with users.
5G technology will be a great challenge for manufacturers and suppliers

The slowness of updates to 5G networks and the limitations in infrastructure will be two of the main reasons why it will take time to grow in this new technology.
Motorola has already started selling its 5G upgradeable Moto Z3 through Verizon, while LG and Sprint have teamed up to market 5G-ready phones in the US as soon as possible. At the same time, semiconductor companies like Qualcomm, Intel and Samsung are working on high-speed processors and modems that will power the next generation of mobile devices.
With all of these manufacturing and licensing initiatives centered around this new technology, it might look like it will soon become the mainstream, but a recent report has revealed that it will be years before the technology becomes mainstream. So far, there are close to a million 5G-enabled devices, including smartphones, Wi-Fi devices and CPE (Consumer Premise Equipment) equipment, but they will hit the market next year. Figures are expected to increase by 2022, but by that time, 5G phones would account for just 18% of those shipments.
The biggest challenge will be at the infrastructure level. 5G connectivity will allow maximum speeds of 50Gbps, compared to 225Mbps for 4G. How many telephone providers will be trained to offer this speed? The investment in new equipment will have to be very large and will not be achieved overnight.
The report has also warned about the need to optimize smartphones, as 5G devices have to support 'millimeter' waves to provide fast speeds at close range and therefore require at least 8 antennas to improve reception capabilities.. That is why energy consumption and overall size will be technological barriers for smartphones in the coming years.
