The next generation of smartphones will need better connectivity, new hardware and software, and a new way to save the battery that will be sucked out from services and applications built on the capabilities of the super-fast 5G internet.

Much of the major engineering issues on the subject have already found their answers, says Scott Petty, technology manager at Vodafone UK, quoted by BBC.

The phones that will support 5G Internet will probably start at a cost...
