Previously, we reported that all six telcos in Malaysia have agreed to the Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB) 5G service agreement prior to its deadline of 30 June 2022. Now, it looks like our country can finally move forward and have 5G connectivity accessible to the masses as the Ministry of Communications and Multimedia (K-KOMM) said that the 5G service will rollout by September 2022 at the latest.

We were pretty sceptical of whether the remaining telcos (particularly Celcom, Digi, Maxis and U Mobile) would join and agree to Digital Nasional Bhd (DNB)'s stake today. As you should know, today (30th of June) is the last day of the offer and it seems that they have agreed to it.

As Digital Nasion Berhad (DNB) continues to build up its portfolio of 5G-enabled smartphones, the latest news just came in a few hours ago that three new devices are now compatible. From its Facebook announcement, the Samsung Galaxy Flip 3, Samsung Galaxy Fold 3 and the OPPO A77 5G can now go online in 5G.

It certainly took them a while but it's official now. The OPPO Find X5 Pro 5G is now compatible with Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB) 5G network. That said, there are some steps for you to do first to activate 5G.

Celcom Axiata Bhd will do its best to meet the deadline with Digital Nasional Bhd (DNB) on the 5G network service agreement in Malaysia. Previously, we reported that K-KOMM has given telco companies until 30 June 2022 to finalise the agreement with DNB.

Update: U Mobile's PR agency has reached out to us and confirmed that the company has not signed on to anything.

Just last night, U Mobile seemingly just went live with its 5G promotion page. Yes, it's past tense because the page is no longer available this morning but this caught our attention enough.

It's been almost two months since the Malaysian government had offered the telcos (Celcom, Digi, Maxis and U Mobile) an equity stake in Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB). However, it has become clear that the discussions among themselves have not been going well.

In less than a week, Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB) has added not one, not two, but four new 5G smartphones into its 5G network. The company has been keeping up with Samsung 5G phones, whereby the Samsung Galaxy A33 5G and Galaxy A53 5G can finally go 5G, as well as vivo Malaysia's latest X80 series that was introduced yesterday.

Today, another smartphone has been added to the certified compatibility list with Malaysia’s 5G network, which is the Samsung Galaxy A73 5G. Announced by Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB) in a press statement, the A73 5G follows other Samsung devices that are already compatible with the 5G network in Malaysia.

The Ministry of Communications and Multimedia (K-KOMM) has revealed that negotiations are still ongoing between telco companies and Digital Nasional Bhd (DNB) on the 5G network service agreement in Malaysia. This is according to its minister, Tan Sri Annuar Musa.
