It remains to be seen which manufacturer will end up releasing the first ever 5G-capable smartphone. From the looks of things, the pace at which Chinese OEMs are pushing technology in mobile phones, we will be surprised if a manufacturer of Chinese origin does not end up releasing a 5G-running smartphone. However, the same thing cannot be said about Huawei, because while we will be expecting to see the Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro later this year and armed with a brand new chipset called the Kirin 980, the first 5G-capable smartphone is not going to be arriving this year from the Chinese giant.

At the MWC Shanghai trade show, the top executive of Huawei, Eric Xu announced that they are expecting the first commercial 5G technology solutions and smartphone chips by March 2019. After the company gets its hands on these chips, then they will be able to process the new smartphones with this 5G technology and will release them in the sixth month of the same year. By seeing the timeline of all these events, it can be assumed that the upcoming P30 series won’t be able to support the new networks.
