Huawei today launched its first commercial 5G handset’HUAWEI Mate 20 X (5G).
Powered by Kirin 980 and the world’s first 7nm 5G multi-mode chipset Balong 5000, the latest Huawei smartphone introduces consumers to 5G with a premium experience comprising high-speed connectivity, flagship performance, large display, reliable battery life and more.
The 7.2-inch smartphone harnesses a wide spectrum of patented technologies to support standalone (SA) and non-standalone (NSA) 5G networking modes, as well as multiple generations of network technology, allowing consumers to experience high-speed connectivity regardless of their mobile network operators’ infrastructure maturity. The HUAWEI Mate 20 X (5G) will be available in the UK from June for RRP £999.
Dual-Chipset Solution Powers 5G Connectivity
Over the past decade, Huawei has invested significant efforts into developing 5G, amassing a considerable number of patents for its chipset, device and cloud offerings along the way. So far, Huawei has established more than ten 5G R&D centers globally with an expert team of over 2,000 5G engineers.
The HUAWEI Mate 20 X (5G) is designed for the age of 5G. Forming a dual-chipset solution together with the market-tested Kirin 980, the Balong 5000 chipset represents a culmination of Huawei’s efforts in researching and developing mobile network technologies. As a next-generation multi-mode chipset, Balong 5000 is compatible with multiple generations of network technologies, from 2G through to 5G. Switching occurs at a low latency and power consumption, greatly improving the user experience in all use cases. Flexible supporting both SA and NSA 5G networking modes, the HUAWEI Mate 20 X (5G) is compatible with 5G networks at any stage of deployment around the world, adding another layer of convenience for frequent travellers.
