CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- What is the experience of calling, watching videos and playing games on 5G network? Recently, Chongqing Mobile held the first batch of 5G "Experience Officer" Certification Activities in Chongqing Open Laboratory, China Mobile 5G Innovation Center. At the activity, all 5G mobile phones of Huawei, ZTE, OPPO, Xiaomi and other mainstream mobile phone manufacturers all unveiled 5G mobile phones, with 198 leading the first batch of 5G exclusive number also officially released for use.

What do 5G cards and 5G mobile phones look like?

The 5G Card has no difference in appearance from the 4G U-SIM Card which we usually use. It only distributes the 5G exclusive number section, including the 5G mobile phone number of the first 198 section in the city with the tail number 0001.

According to the person in charge of Chongqing Mobile, after 5G is officially commercialized, citizens themselves can use 5G without changing SIM cards, numbers or packages, and they only need to change 5G mobile phones.

Is 5G just one more “G” than 4G?

The "Experience officer" opens a speed measuring APP on 5G mobile phone and clicks "start". After waiting for a few seconds, it shows that the download speed can reach 1GB per second, which means it only takes 1-2 seconds to download a 1-2GB high-definition movie. Then he opens a popular mobile game for experience. There is no delay with clear picture during the smooth operation.

According to 5G experts, 5G network has the characteristics of large bandwidth, low latency and wide connection. In addition to bringing a faster online experience to the general public, it will be more applied to the connection of objects, providing basic network capabilities for a series of industrial applications such as intelligent manufacturing, unmanned control, smart city and so on. Experience officers were also invited to visit 5G AI robots, remote driving, 5G immersion experience, 5G intelligent logistics and other application demonstrations. More 5G applications of "black technology" will also be presented in Chongqing Mobile Exhibition Hall at this August's Intellectual Expo.

When will 5G come?

By the end of September this year, Chongqing Mobile 5G will be officially put into commercial use, and it will launch 5G related tariff packages online, citizens can open 5G services by changing a mobile phone. Before formal commercial use, users who buy 5G mobile phones can try out the 5G experience package service with 100 GB traffic per month for free.
