The cell phones that will be used to use 5G technology iPhone 13 family Price and quality of Xiaomi Specials for the gamer public Samsung Galaxy Among the controversy

Every time a new generation of mobile networks appears, there is a change without going back. Since the first cell phones, which allowed only voice transmission, technology has advanced by leaps and bounds. Text messaging, internet browsing and high-speed data transfer are just some of the features that have been added with each generation and that, over the next year, will bring more possibilities to users.

The fifth generation of mobile networks, in a few words, will only multiply the information channels and that will allow the greatest connection of different devices. For this reason, users will be able to increase browsing speed and Internet use will be almost instantaneous, reaching up to 10 gigabytes per second. Companies and industries, gamers, programmers, the IoT, among many others, will benefit. Of course, to be able to use the network, mobile phones will have to have the technology.

“The application of 5G will mean improvements in bandwidth and latency, which allows the operation of new services, expanding the current 4G networks”, explains Francisco Guzmán, director of Claro Empresas. “This does not mean that all mobile phone users will have to change their phones early. The deployment of the 5G network will be a gradual process that will not happen overnight. However, the great potential of 5G will occur in industrial environments where it will serve as a catalyst for technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Automation and Extended Reality”, adds the executive.

Here we tell you about some cell phone models that can be used to navigate at high speed.

They are the most recent launch of Apple and their compatibility with the 5G network was included again, something that they had already been doing since their 12 line. The iPhone 13, in its different models (13, Mini, Pro and Pro Max), They recently went on sale in the country and have been affected by the global shortage of chips that affects different industries, and they have even chosen to reduce their production of new iPad models to favor the production of mobile phones.

The Pro and Pro Max models, in combination with 5G, can be more than attractive. These, among the new releases, come with ProMotion, which is an adaptive technology that allows these devices to reach refresh rates up to 120 Hz on the screen. It is one of the changes that was most expected for the entirety of its new line, but it remained only in these two phones. In any case, a fast refresh rate, together with this new generation of mobile networks, will transform the user experience and not only will it be a more fluid navigation, but it will also improve the visual interface.

Given the technology that Apple has begun to implement and its new updates and operating system, they are by far the most secure devices and that, with the new generation of mobile networks, users will be able to navigate without taking any risk.

Xiaomi's is a case to be taken with care. The company, considered the Chinese Apple, is a true launch machine, when referring to new models of mobile phones. For example, in April they launched the Mi 11 Lite models with 4G in Chile and, last September, the company added the Mi 11 Lite 5G NE model, which in any case is a factor to consider, because the company is always in constant changes and the copies released to the market are never the definitive ones. Then came the Mi 11 model and the Mi 11 Ultra in May, along with countless other premieres in less than a year.

In any case, as far as 5G and quality are concerned, some of the company's models aim to go a little higher. For example, last year they inserted their Mi 10T and Mi 10T Pro models, which reached 144 Hz, above Apple's most recent models, and already included 5G technology. This year, the Mi 11 models were joined by the 11T models. The last name "T" in the company implies taking the previous copy, reducing the quality of some of its characteristics and adding others. For example, the Mi 11 has a 120 Hz refresh rate, and the same for the 11T, but also adds a 240 Hz touch refresh rate. It also adds a vapor chamber cooling system, which keeps the temperature of the device under control. apparatus and that is one of the constant falls of the firm. Of course, to do that, they resorted to removing capabilities from the front and rear cameras.

According to AnTuTu, Chinese benchmark software, the best phone in the Mi line this month is the Mi 11 Ultra, followed by the Mi 11i. But other models present in Chile will also be compatible with 5G, such as the Redme Note 9T, Mi 10 T Lite, Mi 10 Lite 5G, Mi 11 Lite 5G, among others.

According to distant estimates, 40% of the global population plays video games on their devices. And, in fact, many say that one of the biggest debts of some of the technology giants, such as Apple, was to target their products towards the gamer audience. Or at least include features that will call these users. Anyone who has paid attention will have noticed that the company, for its most recent launches and events broadcast on the Internet, used examples mostly with video games. Obviously ProMotion technology is striking, because to occupy any of these programs they need high refresh rates and fluidity, as well as equipment that does not overheat due to use, and that is one of the great conflicts.

In that sense, 5G will help users. They no longer only play on consoles or PC, but also on their mobile devices. Thanks to the benefits of crossplay between platforms -which allows users to play with those of other systems-, in addition to a connection, a team that is efficient and can support the characteristics of a game is essential. Not only will it be possible to play online, as it can already be done today, but it will also have a much smoother and more efficient data transfer, in order to improve the user experience.

According to the most recent AnTuTu ranking, the Nubia Red Magic 6 Pro is the best in terms of performance and includes 5G connectivity. A little further down is the Realme GT 5G in its global version. Another of the alternatives, but a little cheaper and that will work in Chile with the new mobile network, is the Poco M3 PRO 5G.

It is by far one of the strongest Android competitors. Your Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra is one of the devices that has built-in 5G connectivity, and that replicates your Galaxy S21 and Plus. Other of the Korean models that have this technology, now in the high-end range, are the Z Flip3 5G, Galaxy Fold 2 and Fold 3, the company's folding equipment. The great advantage, the company said after its launch, is that they are the first folding smartphones that are water resistant, so in addition to good connectivity, battery life and other features, they provide double security, for example, in case of travel. or rains. The same with its A22, A32 and A52s 5G devices, which fall within the premium range with this new generation of mobile networks, just like its Note20 Ultra 5G.

You might think, given the firm's extensive catalogue, that there are more devices with built-in 5G, but as the technology becomes more widespread, having it will become almost a requirement in the coming years. More and more users will choose to privilege their online experience with the greater flow of information that the next generation of mobile networks allows.

Huawei has been embroiled in a number of controversies in recent years. From the blockade in the United States, to the blockade carried out by the United Kingdom on the company's participation in the implementation of 5G networks in that country. Many say that, following the growing tension between the US and China, there is concern about the signing. And the other concern is that the Asian giant could, as there are countries that are making the transition to the new generation of mobile networks, have the ability to spy on or interrupt communications in the event of a greater conflict in the future.

Other than that, there are Huawei devices in the country that will be able to use 5G services, such as the P40 Pro, Mate 40 Pro and the foldable Mate Xs. Huawei's is a war that does not stop. From user criticism of their equipment, which led them to make a series of improvements, to having to create their own services (they don't even have Gmail, YouTube, and other company systems). Despite this, its equipment development has not ceased and some of them include 5G. In fact, one of their most current releases, the No 9 and 9 Pro were released on 4G and not on the latest technology.

There are other companies, such as One Plus, Motorola and Vivo that complete the list, but more and more equipment of this type will arrive.
