Huawei will launch the first 8K 5G TV later this year?

According to a new report from the popular tech news site Nikkei, Huawei is planning to release its first 8K 5G TV model later this year. More specifically, this product will most likely include a 5G modem to allow it to stream content remotely without a cable box or fixed internet connection, and it can even act as a set. Routing for the internet system with connected devices in your home - an extremely useful feature.

Combining the high-speed 5G connection with the 8K screen theoretically can be an effective remedy for the difficulties encountered when conducting 8K content that requires huge amounts of data but There is no need for a high-speed fixed internet connection at your home. Besides, along with the 8K resolution standard, Nikkei also speculated that connecting 5G TV could also allow Huawei's products to transmit 360-degree videos, but this somewhat 'fictional' sound feature will still be It takes time to verify. If done, the Chinese tech giant will become a real challenger in the smart TV market.

In addition, the Nikkei report also said that Huawei intends to use these 5G TV products to build its own consumer electronics ecosystem, similar to what Samsung has. They have done with their smart TVs, smart phones, wearable devices and household appliances.

If pairing 8K screen with 5G connection is not enough to make you feel impressed, try looking at the ambitious 'AI 8K + 5G' technology that another major manufacturer Foxconn claims is developing. Tested at its technology innovation research centers in Wisconsin, USA.

In fact, big TV manufacturers like LG have previously announced that many of their product lines are supported by AI, but the practical applicability of these TVs is not really high and does not bring much echo for the manufacturer. So whether Huawei or Foxconn have how much% success with this similar project? We have not been able to say anything yet but manufacturers are definitely holding their own 'strategic cards'.

Back to Huawei, Chinese manufacturers will have to really consider carefully when deciding to enter the TV market. In fact, TV is currently the lowest-profit product line in the technology world. We all know that consumers' average TV upgrade cycle is much longer than laptops or smartphones, and TV consumption in many developed markets has now gradually reached the threshold. saturated, making the market increasingly narrow and since then the competitiveness has become more and more intense. Besides, 2019 is still too early for both 5G and 8K. The 5G network is currently only available in limited areas and the original 8K content is even rarer, not to mention integrating the 5G modem with the TV sounds interesting but the actual use efficiency remains is a big question mark.

Temporarily putting aside these issues, the launch of an 8K 5G TV still brings great significance to Chinese manufacturers. It shows that Huawei is a company that is serious and consistent with every goal, as well as hard to innovate and dare to take risks. In other words, a 'bad' idea doesn't mean it can't have a chance to succeed!
