Pay attention to here for smartphones in the 5G era!
Most of the latest 5G smartphones use Qualcomm's "Snapdragon 865" as the CPU. Since the processing speed is high, many of them are equipped with a 3-eye or 4-eye camera. Since high-quality photos and videos have a large amount of data, the capacity of the ROM to store them is also large. Even photos with a slightly large amount of data can be sent without stress with 5G.
The display is large so that you can enjoy high-quality video distribution by taking advantage of 5G high-speed communication. Another feature is that many models have a high display refresh rate so that you do not feel stress when enjoying the distribution game.
Since the processing speed is high and the battery consumption is fast, most adopt a large capacity battery of around 4000mAh. On the other hand, it is also noteworthy that the size is almost the same as the previous model compatible with 4G.
There are many models that support high-quality 8K video recording by taking advantage of the high-speed CPU. Recorded data can be quite large, but high-speed 5G can be uploaded and distributed.
In addition to the high processing speed of the CPU, many of them have a high refresh rate of the display, so you can enjoy games delivered through high-speed 5G without stress.
A large-capacity battery is indispensable because it is equipped with a high-definition large-screen display and high-speed processing is performed by the CPU. Many of them also support high-speed charging and wireless charging.
You can take rich photos and videos with your 5G smartphone. Since a large amount of storage is required to store this, the capacity of ROM is also a point. If your model supports microSD, you can rest assured.
Will it be released in Japan? Leading manufacturers also announce 5G smartphones one after another!
Globally, new smartphone products compatible with 5G are being announced one after another. There are many high-profile models such as folding smartphones and models with two screens. With the adoption of OPPO for the first time by Softbank, changes can be seen in the lineup of carrier terminals in the 5G era. If a SIM-free 5G smartphone is released in Japan, it is recommended to check that the product has been properly tested for connection with the carrier.

Sony announces development! What will change with the advent of millimeter-wave compatible smartphones?
Most 5G smartphones support a relatively low frequency band called "Sub6" (* 2). On the other hand, Sony announced that it is developing a smartphone that supports a higher frequency band called millimeter waves, which is faster. "Xperia Pro" that supports millimeter waves has antennas installed in four directions to increase reception sensitivity. Since a large amount of data can be sent and received, it is expected to be used for business purposes such as delivering high-quality images shot on the spot. * 2 Sub6 is a frequency band below 6GHz. In 5G, services are provided using Sub6, 28GHz band and other high frequency bands (millimeter waves).
Sony "Xperia PRO"
Many antennas need to be built in to send and receive millimeter waves, and the size is larger than the "Sub 6" compatible model. Also, since the area of millimeter waves is limited at the beginning, it seems that it will be a terminal used in a specific place.
