Today China Mobile announced the commercial launch of 5G-Advanced \u2013 aka 5.5G or 5GA. And the first phones to support the improved networking standard are closer than you may think \u2013 Pete Lau, who is serving as the Chief Product Officer at Oppo, posted a teaser showing the Oppo Find X7 Ultra<\/a> with \u201c5GA\u201d showing its status bar.<\/p>\n

The Oppo Find X7 series is the first with 5.5G support<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s also a post on Weibo on the matter, which suggests that the vanilla Oppo Find X7<\/a> should be updated with 5.5G connectivity too. That is interesting as they use different chipsets \u2013 Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for the Ultra and Dimensity 9300 for the vanilla model. This makes the Find X7 duo the first phones to support 5.5G.<\/p>\n

However, the number is expected to grow to over 20 compatible devices in a year\u2019s time. China Mobile plans to roll out the new network to cover over 300 cities by the end of this year. The first 100 will include the massive metropolitan areas of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.<\/p>\n

The 5G-Advanced network promises to be 300% faster, hitting speeds of up to 10Gbps down and 1Gbps up. China Mobile has already set up demonstration areas around the country, so owners of a Find X7 could try it out.<\/p>\n

3GPP Release 18 details, aka 5G-Advanced<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Anyway, 5G-Advanced is a marketing name for 3GPP Release 18. This includes \u201cnon-terrestrial networks\u201d, i.e. using satellites as network cells, which might be related to the recent teaser that an Oppo Find X7 Ultra with satellite communication<\/a> is on the way. That appears to be a new device, however, and not just a firmware update to the current models like the addition of 5.5G support for China Mobile\u2019s network.<\/p>\n
