A moment of great importance for Qualcomm. The company has been working hard for months to bring 5G closer to smartphones. So far, the company has made great strides, making it a leader in this area. Today, the company has made public a key moment in this whole process. Qualcomm achieves the first 5G data connection.

Despite the fact that the new generation of smartphones with 5G support do not yet exist, the company already has this very advanced technology. So much so that they have already achieved the first data connection using it. They have achieved this thanks to a chipset for 5G NR-enabled smartphones.

Qualcomm very advanced with 5G

This Qualcomm Snapdragon X50 5G managed to supply gigabit speeds and a data connection frequency in a total mmWave bandwidth of 28 Ghz. With this technology, the company intends to offer an impressive download speed, something that promises to be a revolution in the market. In addition also a greater scope than what 4G offers us.

Qualcomm has been quick to say that the results achieved now are not yet 5G, but rather a premature version. But they will continue working to move forward and achieve even better results. Seeing how this process is evolving, they will surely bring more news about it soon.

Once they have perfected this technology, Qualcomm believes it will be ready to be shipped to smartphone manufacturers. When that will happen is something the company has not revealed yet. Although it will surely happen throughout 2018. What do you think of the company's progress in 5G?
