Based on a statement by gizchina, it seems that ZTE and Huawei will take the lead in the development of 6G technology in China. While not much is known in regards to when the technology will be officially available for use, estimations suggest that it should be ready somewhere around 2030.

Based on a statement by bloomberg, it seems that Apple is currently hiring engineers to develop 6G cellular technology. While there is no official information in regards to when the 6G cellular technology will be globally available, it does give us a better idea of what to expect from Apple in the coming years.

Last week, Samsung shared their vision on the development of 6G and they are confident that the communication technology can enter massive commercialization around 2030. Although there's still a long time for us to enter the era of 6G (as we haven't even fully stepped into the era of 5G yet!), many ambitious companies have already started to focus on the development. Now, it appears that MediaTek will be joining the squad as well by embarking on the 6G journey.

It’s no secret that the recent pandemic has accelerated the already breakneck pace of the tech industry. Speaking based on this, Dr. TM Roh President and Head of Mobile Communications Business, Samsung Electronics remarked that operational agility or “the ability to prioritize resources and be efficient today, while anticipating trends and acting decisively for tomorrow” is even more important for everyone, and will be introduced at the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked on 5 August 2020.

Although this is the era of 5G, the technology hasn't been fully adopted by most of the major countries yet. As 5G is still on its way to global domination, Samsung has already started to focus on developing the next-generation 6G network. Today, things are getting real as they have shared their vision on 6G in black-and-white with the public.

Based on a statement by abacusnews.com, it seems that China Telecom, as well as ZTE, could already be working on 6G technology right now which is expected to be commercialized somewhere around 2030. This early start into 6G is likely due to the fact that China wants to have a head start on the competition and have a stronger position in the telecommunications market.

"6G? 5G is not even set in motion yet!" Yes, you're right about that. The last time that we actually wrote about 6G was when Samsung was reportedly looking into 6G in their labs. This time around, vivo happens to be the second player entering the game as they have commenced research and development on 6G technology.

In this competitive technological world, most smartphone brands and telco are already gearing up for 5G connectivity. And then...there's always this one guy who's ahead of the pack. Not to say it has already happened, but Samsung is looking beyond 5G. Yes, it's 6G.
