A Guide for 5G Pioneering: 4 Features you should look out in your first 5G smartphone

Nowadays countries are racing to deploy 5G networks. 5G will not only make our mobile Internet speed better, but it will also usher in new immersive smartphone experiences. But to enjoy the vast goodies the 5G networks bring, you would need the IT 5G smartphone. The new HUAWEI Mate20 X (5G), the King of 5G Smartphones,not only supports 5G but is also compatible with multiple generations of network technology. It is an absolute BANGER with high connectivity speeds, massive display, iconic triple Leica camera and monstrous performance. Why are we so in love with the new HUAWEI Mate20 X (5G)? Because it has all those features you should look at in the 5G smartphones at the moment.

What is SA and NSA? Why are they important?

There are two important things that you need to know before you buy your first 5G smartphone: Non-standalone (NSA) and Standalone (SA) network architectures. Currently,the global 5Gindustryisrapidlyexpanding intothecommercialphase.Telecomoperatorsinvariouscountriesand regions have adopted twomainstreamnetworkingarchitectures, Non-standalone (NSA) and Standalone (SA).

The first wave of networks of 5G networks are classed as Non-Standalone (NSA), which is to say the 5G networks will be supported by existing 4G infrastructure. However, moving forward there will be a switch to the 5G Standalone (SA) network which is the ultimate 5G proposal. The advantage of Standalone (SA) is simplification and improved efficiency, the eventual migration from 5G NSA to SA by operators should be unnoticeable to consumers.

The HUAWEI Mate20 X (5G) is the world’s first 5G smartphone* that works on both SA (Standalone) and NSA (Non-Standalone) network architectures. If users purchase a smartphone that only supports NSA, once the migration to SA takes place, phones that lack this feature will not work in SA 5G networks. As an example if users with 5G smartphones that only support Non-standalone (NSA) travel to countries where Standalone (SA) 5G has been fully deployed, their smartphones would not work. 

Meanwhile withHUAWEIMate20 X(5G) users can rest assured as the device is able to support both Non-standalone (NSA) and Standalone (SA) 5G networks, meaning that it can work in different countries and at the different stages of the 5G networks development.

In addition to this, the HUAWEI Mate20 X (5G) is also the world’s first [1] 5G smartphone that supports Dual-SIM capabilities (5G SIM + 4G SIM), making it easier for users to enjoy a disruption free connection while the travel or access roaming services.

View content on a bigger screen

Most of us watch movies online on a smartphone nowadays, but a small screen means squinting and straining your eyes. A large display area makes all the difference. The HUAWEI Mate20 X (5G) comes with a 7.2-inch dewdrop display[1], perfect to immerse yourself in an exceptional entertainment experience. It also takes gaming to a new space, where you take control of all the action in a game and always lead the way.

Finally, a camera that will ‘do it justice’

HUAWEI Mate20 X (5G) has three Leica cameras - 40MP wide angle camera, 20MP ultra-wide camera and the 8MP telephoto camera.With these giant capabilities, you will be able to fit large uninterrupted views in one picture. It’s as close as it gets to the real view, crisp, clear and with a three-dimensional effect – what you see is what you snap. Extreme close-up shots referred to as ‘Macrography’ are now possible with HUAWEI Mate20 X (5G). This phone camera can land a focus on an object as close as 2.5cm.

A battery that is up to the task

It’s quite heartbreaking when your device dies down and you need it badly to watch a live fashion show or football game. Thankfully, this is a thing of the past. The HUAWEI Mate20 X (5G) has a 4200mAh battery that is one of the biggest smartphone batteries available on the market, and it is as safe as it is large – being TUV Rheinland certified. Additionally, it also has HUAWEI 40W SuperCharge to top up your device in as much less time as possible.

Even if you’re running graphically intensive games at high settings, this device stays cool and responsive thanks to the integration of HUAWEI SuperCool - a groundbreaking cooling solution that utilizes graphene film and vapor chamber to deliver an outstanding cooling performance.
