When the curtain came down on the 2019 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, last Thursday, it marked the end of five of the most intense days yet in mobile technology.
One thing it did not dampen was the massive hype around 5G, the next generation of communications technology that will allow mobile download speeds of well over 1 Gigabit per second. More importantly, it will probably be priced at about R10 000, less than half the cost of flagship mobile phones from other major brands like Samsung and Huawei.KaiOS “smart feature phones” build smart functionality into feature phones, working with the likes of phone brands Nokia and Bullitt – makers of CAT and Land Rover phones – to provide a low-demand operating system that can also run apps like Facebook and Google Maps.
The latter is in effect a 5G antennae that clips onto any Moto Z to turn it into a 5G device. This means users of existing handsets do not have to upgrade to expensive new 5G-capable smartphones when networks switch on their 5G capacity.
