Qualcomm Snapdragon X50 5G modem ,Qualcomm Snapdragon selected by Sony and Nokia, , II Qualcomm Snapdragon X50 5G modem could be used by 18 phone manufacturers in 2019
Qualcomm today announced a partnership with major mobile phone manufacturers such as Asus, HMD Global (Nokia seller), LG, Sony Mobiles, Xiaomi, etc. for the launch of 5G-enabled smartphones.
These companies will be using Qualcomm's Snapdragon X50 5G NR modem suite in their phones to make them 5G capable.
The first wave of 5G-enabled phones is expected to hit the global market by 2019 end.
Nokia, Xiaomi and others to launch 5G smartphones by 2019

Qualcomm's press release on the partnership
"The arrival of 5G will expand mobile into new spectrum bands and all spectrum types, allowing for enhanced mobile broadband and increasing the overall average download speeds for virtually all smartphone users," said Qualcomm in a press release.
Ericsson RANEricsson's software to enable launch of 5G services in 2018
Qualcomm's announcement comes shortly after Ericsson launched its Radio Access Network (RAN) commercial software for operators.
The software, which is based on the recently approved 3GPP 5G New Radio (NR) standard, will enable operators launch 5G services as early as the fourth quarter of 2018.
Ericsson claims that the software will boost growth of data traffic, high resolution content, use of AR, VR etc.

5G & IndiaAdopting 5G technology is on the mind of the government
5G technology got a special mention in the Union Budget 2018 earlier this month.
In a bid to improve India's capacity to adopt the technology, the government has proposed setting up 5G centres across India with the help of IIT-Madras.
5G technology, which affects devices beyond smartphones, is expected to revolutionize communications, and allow for a whole host of new possibilities.

ImpactThe effect of 5G will be felt across various sectors
5G technology allows for multi-gigabit per second data transfer rates, and very low latency.
It's said to be 10 times faster than 4G, and can download high-resolution video content like 4K movies in less than 30 seconds.
Owing to low latency, 5G is expected to drive data-hogging technologies like augment reality, virtual reality, internet-of-things etc., and will impact robotics, smart cities, education, healthcare etc.
Qualcomm and other manufacturers are betting that 5G connectivity is going to burst with popularity starting from 2019. A total of 18 manufacturers have already committed to using the company’s 5G modem, which at this point is called the Snapdragon X50.
There are lots of phone makers that sell their devices using Qualcomm’s components and these devices are not just going to be limited to smartphones, as evidenced by the rise of notebooks that are using mobile chipsets to function and handle ‘day to day’ tasks.
Our attention can be turned towards the Qualcomm Snapdragon 850, but it is also the Snapdragon 855 that could get the Snapdragon X50. A few of the manufacturers that will employ the 5G modem from next year have been listed as follows:
Bear in mind that this is not the complete list of manufacturers that will take advantage of 5G hardware. Perhaps they want things to remain in the shadows for the time being. While Samsung will be using its own 5G deployments and other resources, when selling its Galaxy S10 or Galaxy X, as rumors are calling it, the company will need to sell phones in America using Qualcomm’s chipsets, meaning that a small market is going to be taken away from the giant.
MWC 2018 is going to start in a few weeks, and you can expect that Qualcomm is going to be present there. Hopefully, the trade show will also reveal other manufacturers that will sell mobile phones featuring 5G hardware and are designed to deliver extremely fast uplink and downlink speeds.
The Qualcomm Snapdragon X50 5G NR modem family has been selected by many global OEMs for standard-compliant 5G NR mobile device product launches in 2019.
Companies working with Qualcomm include ASUS, Fujitsu HMD Global (Nokia), HTC, LG, Netgear, Sony Mobile, Xiaomi, and ZTE.
“These OEMs are working to commercialise 5G mobile devices for the sub-6GHz and millimeter wave spectrum bands starting in 2019,” said Qualcomm.
“Qualcomm is committed to helping our customers deliver next-generation 5G mobile experiences to consumers,” said Alex Katouzian, senior VP of mobile at Qualcomm.
“Qualcomm is utilising our deep expertise and technology leadership to support the successful launch of 5G NR, driving innovation in the mobile ecosystem.”

Samsung might not use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X50
Samsung is also competing with Qualcomm in 5G connectivity race and if the latter has a Snapdragon champion that will be getting ready for deployment then the Korean tech giant also has a trick or two up its sleeve. While Qualcomm had made the announcement of the Snapdragon X50 modem a long time ago, it has not been confirmed which chipset will feature this internal change.Our attention can be turned towards the Qualcomm Snapdragon 850, but it is also the Snapdragon 855 that could get the Snapdragon X50.
