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.
