As this year goes by and the next one gets closer, we see, more and more, that several mobile manufacturers are working to be the first to bring us a smartphone capable of supporting the 5G network. Such is the case with Nokia, Samsung, ZTE, LG and others, as well as Oppo, the company that has just revealed a successful test of an Oppo R15 mobile with this signal.
According to reports, the firm has used a modified version of this model. It comes equipped with a Qualcomm X50 5G modem, which was implemented for testing. We expand you!
The report revealed to us that 5G connection was based on 3GPP Release 15 NSA standard, which uses a 10 MHz bandwidth of 4G LTE Band 5 and a 20 MHz bandwidth of the 5G NR n78 band.
At present, 5G NR n78 band is the most standardized 5G band in the world. Preferably, it could be the first 5G band to be rolled out next year. Therefore, this band is of great importance for the commercialization of the first batch of 5G products on the market.

Formerly, the president of the OPPO Research Institute, Liu Chang said the company will accelerate the development of its 5G phones, so it would not be a surprise if this brand is the first to present us with a phone that supports this high-speed network. It was also revealed, in May, that the manufacturer had made a 5G video call hand in hand with Qualcomm, one of its main allies in this section.
For now, the firm has communicated that it will continue to carry out tests on several devices and that it will dedicate a large part of its time, resources and efforts in the implementation of this network in its first 5G phone, which would arrive in early 2019.
