Dec. 4, 2019

Most Android vendors are embracing 5G technology in all its glory. Following the unveiling of theSnapdragon 765 Mobile Platformby Qualcomm at its Snapdragon Summit in Hawaii on Tuesday,Xiaomi and Nokia (HMD Global) have both announced plans to launch 5G smartphonespowered by the new chipset next year.

While Xiaomi President, Lin Bin, took to the stage at the Qualcomm event to announce that theRedmi K30 will be the first Snapdragon 765-powered device, Juho Sarvikas, the chief product officer at HMD, also made a presentation at the event to reveal that the company will soon launch a Nokia-branded 5G phone powered by the same chipset.

Sadly, though, recent developments suggest that 5G networksmay not be deployedin India any time soon, so it will be interesting to see if either of the two companies, or any of the other smartphone vendors for that matter, will bring their 5G devices to the country next year.
