5G isn’t going to be that expensive – Vodafone may aggressively consider its 5G plans in order to gain a greater market share over the EE leader and that prices will increase over the long term. However, so far, 5G prices seem reasonable enough, with Vodafone promising that ‘5G pricing will be the same as 4G’. According to Scott Petty, Vodafone’s CTO, 5G technology is much more efficient than 4G, which means that each mast can support 64 times more connections. This may explain why 5G is not even more expensive. Unlimited data is one thing Vodafone has announced three different unlimited plans at prices ranging from $23 per month for a slow connection to 2Mbps to 30 euros per month for an ultra-fast connection that can be used to download boxes in seconds, etc. Vodafone has also announced Vodafone Together – 50 euros per month service combining unlimited broadband services at home and mobile. It will be interesting to see if the fine print represents the actual maximum use. 5G handsets will be limited This is bad news for those who love the latest devices to rub shoulders with the latest technologies. Although the elephant in the room called Huawei was not mentioned at yesterday’s launch, it is clear that Huawei’s 5G handsets will not be deployed by Vodafone anytime soon. Instead, the only two devices that will initially support Vodafone 5G are the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G handsets and Xiaomi Mi Mix 3. As for Apple users, you will certainly have to wait until 2020 to get a 5G compatible iPhone. Vodafone is not just 5G Although the hype revolves around 5G, a look around its Reinvent conference (so called Vodafone because Vodafone is trying to reinvent itself, moving from a clogged and slightly distant premium service to a much warmer brand and more accessible) has revealed interesting technological applications. . One of our favorites was its Dream Lab app, which harnesses the collective power of connected smartphones while you sleep to provide the bandwidth needed for researchers at Imperial College London to process enough data Important. Thanks in part to DreamLab, for example, researchers at Imperial College were able to identify hundreds of molecules with anti-cancer properties in everyday foods, as well as more exotic fruits and vegetables, such as pomegranate. One of the problems faced by a celebrity to turn on your network as did Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton with Vodafone’s 5G network is that it is usually very clear that they are doing it for their money. I’m sure it was no different with Lewis, but at least he seemed genuinely interested in technology. Apparently, he’s a passionate player, he makes sure to take his PlayStation wherever he goes and seems excited to be able to play games from vendors such as Hatch will reduce latency. You can see him being interviewed in this YouTube video below.
