Samsung has announced that it's successfully developed a core technology for 5G which it hopes to deploy by 2020, reports Yonhap News.

The new technology will significantly increase wireless network speeds allowing users to download a movie in less than a second.

Under the new platform, users can download and upload data at speeds of up to tens of gigabits per second (Gbps), compared to 75 megabits per second (Mbps) posted by the fourth-generation long-term evolution (LTE) service.

Samsung Electronics said it has successfully tested the platform using the 28 Gigahertz (GHz) waveband to transmit data at a speed of 1 Gbps, which earlier had been considered as a conundrum by global industry players.

According to the report, the company used 64 antenna elements to overcome the issue and let the device exchange real-time signals under the platform.

Alright, let me say something. I was still a huge Apple fan some months ago, but somehow I think that Apple should give room for other companies now. Their era has ended with the death of Steve Jobs. Ok, Apple may have started the idea of the ultimate Smartphone, but its starting to get boring. Nothing special really happens at Apple now, if you think about it. Fine, they have released a Device with a bigger screen which had a smaller screen, then they took another device and built in a smaller screen. Its like they have run out of ideas. Siri was the latest thing that was somehow "new", even though other companies already had this idea. Seriously, Apple fans. Apple's time is OVER. Give the market over to other companies. They are much more innovative now.

That's so awesome. Can't wait to get throttled so much sooner. This technology is useless when the current mobile providers suck ass.

It's going to be a new feature for iPhone 12 in 2020 and surely apple will take the credit for the "innovation"

Actually, they just ran off to get a patent on it.
