What is a 5G phone?

The term 5G phone has probably become familiar to smartphone users recently. In simple terms, while current mobile devices mainly use 4G networks, 5G phones are the latest and most advanced devices using the newest 5G network.

Or more precisely, 5G, short for 5th Generation, is understood as the 5th generation of mobile networks. 5G networks will bring many significant upgrades compared to 4G networks. And the network access speed of 5G will be much faster than 4G.
In Vietnam, 4G is still widely used and popular. However, major Vietnamese networks like Vinaphone, Mobifone, and Viettel are testing 5G. Additionally, tech giants such as Apple, Samsung, Xiaomi, etc., have been ramping up the production of 5G phones recently.
So, should you buy a 5G phone at this time?

In the opinion of a tech enthusiast like myself, buying a 5G phone at this time is entirely reasonable. Owning a 5G phone will help you keep pace with and not fall behind the rapid development of technology.
5G technology has begun strong deployment and is predicted to be the technology trend in 2021 - 2022. Vietnamese networks Vinaphone, Mobifone, Viettel have 5G experience locations in major cities like Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, and Bac Ninh. This indicates that Vietnam is ready for the transition from 4G to 5G. Therefore, owning a 5G smartphone is entirely reasonable and not too early.
Benefits of 'speed' that 5G smartphones bring

The first noticeable difference of 5G compared to 4G is the file transfer speed or access speed. Theoretically, 5G speed can reach up to 10 Gbps (gigabits per second), much higher than 4G, which only achieves 1 – 1.5 Gbps. To put it in perspective, you can download one of the hottest games today, like Mobile Legends, in just a few seconds.

Secondly, regarding latency, or ping. With 4G, latency typically ranges around 30 ms, and in weak signal areas, it can be much higher. High latency causes discomfort when gaming, browsing, or watching YouTube due to lag. With 5G, latency is only around 10 ms, and under ideal conditions, it's nearly zero.
Lastly, the number of devices accessing the network. 5G allows a large number of devices to access simultaneously while maintaining fast access speed, page loading speed, and file transfer speed. With 5G, users' work or entertainment activities will no longer be interrupted.
Which 5G smartphone to buy?

If you're in the market for a 5G smartphone, the good news is there are plenty of options available. In the high-end segment, you can choose standout products like iPhone 12 Pro Max, iPhone 12 Pro, Samsung Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21 Ultra, Xiaomi Mi 11 5G.
For the mid-range segment with more affordable prices, devices like Samsung Galaxy A52 5G, Vivo V21 5G, OPPO A74 5G are suitable choices.
And it doesn't stop there, 5G technology has also appeared on budget smartphones like Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 5G, OnePlus Nord N10 5G.
Conclusion
5G network will certainly replace the current 4G network due to its functionality and outstanding benefits. Therefore, owning a 5G smartphone is entirely reasonable at the current time. Additionally, 5G technology has been equipped on many smartphones across different price ranges for users to easily choose from.
