  • China’s state-owned telecom provider, China Mobile, announced the launch of its 5.5G network.
  • 5.5G (or 5G Advanced) networks offer improved data speeds over the current 5G networks.
  • OPPO’s 2024 flagship Find X7 series phones are reportedly the first ones to support 5GA networks.

Even as we wait for widespread, reliable 5G connectivity, China is leaping forward with the next generation of wireless technology. Today, China Mobile announced the commercial launch of its 5.5G (also called 5G-Advanced or 5GA) network. And it seems we might already have the first Android phones ready to take advantage of it.
