5G

Dated as it looks, the SE+ 5G will be no slouch, though, as it is powered by a A15 Bionic chip, and also includes 5G network support. The A15 Bionic is the same chip that is used in the iPhone 13, 13 mini, 13 Pro, and 13 Pro Max models.The phone will ship with iOS 15, have IP67 dust/water resistance, and Qi wireless charging. It will be nice to see the phone come with a modest battery capacity in the range of 2500-2800mAh, as well as 18W fast charging as obtains on the iPhone 13 models....

Why do 4G SIMs work on 5G networks? The simple answer is that most 5G networks are non-standalone (NSA). This means they use existing LTE technology to deploy 5G service. As such, your existing 4G SIM cards will work on non-standalone 5G networks. This is the general rule. But there are exceptions. The exception happens where a carrier or operator deploys a standalone (SA) 5G network. Such networks are built on newer 5G technology from scratch, and so will require that you replace your existing SIM card with a compatible 5G SIM....

Opening up the architecture of its high-end 5G Dimensity 1200 chips will allow device makers to tweak their high-end 5G smartphones for custom experiences, so they stand out. The phone brands that make use of the chips in this programme will be able to “customize features for cameras, displays, graphics, artificial intelligence (AI) processing units (APUs), sensors and connectivity sub-systems.” Ordinarily, manufacturers purchase chips and layer their own custom algorithms and optimizations on top of them....

5G offers higher peak data speeds (of up to between speeds 10x and 100x faster than 4G), ultra-low latency, increased reliability and greater network capacity. MTN South Africa is promising 50Mbps in average speed and 500Mbps maximum speed on its 5G mobile network. MTN South Africa announced that its commercial 5G services have been launched across 100 network towers in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Bloemfontein, Port Elizabeth and other smaller towns....
