It’s been over a decade now since I bought my first mobile phone. Features like calling, sending messages and caller ID were the only requirement, using the internet on the mobile phone was still a myth. As technology advanced we were able to use the internet on phone and connecting with friends right from our bed was a big deal then. But, cut to today, if you ask people to use mobile with slow internet, they might not talk to you again.

Jokes apart, people now want fast loading websites and information which travels at the speed of light. And 4G was serving us well. However, technology evolves every minute, I’m looking forward to seeing the blazing speed 5G has to bring. I’m sure this is a mutual feeling. It’s not just me; everyone wants a 5G smartphone too. 5G will have a transformative impact on health, education, and industry. And when you’re thinking about companies, app development is one of them. The cost of developing a mobile app is rising high.

The path-breaking innovation will not only affect companies but will also embrace this technology by people from all walks of life. By 2024, according to Statista, there will be 1.88 billion global subscribers in their pockets with 5G enabled smartphones.

The mobile network of the fifth generation is supposed to be 1,000 times faster than a 4G network. A high-frequency bandwidth called ‘Millimeter’ will be used by 5G mobile phones to allow data to travel quickly.

Why is everyone looking forward to using the 5G technology?

Let’s narrow down to some of the key benefits of using 5G:

• Although 4G mobiles transmit data at 20Mbps speed, a 5G smartphone transmits data at 10-500 Gbps speed.
• Streaming uninterrupted 4k HDR
• 5G promises worldwide uninterrupted connectivity.
• 5G technology can bring all networks together on one platform.

Let’s talk about how 5G can impact the creation of mobile apps throughout the world.

There are certain aspects that every mobile app developer needs to consider before creating a mobile app – first, the framework for mobile app growth. Every phone will work seamlessly with a good mobile app. Rest around the corner with 5G launch; developers are now considering changing their optimization strategies to take full advantage of 5G.

If you are willing to develop 5G mobile apps here are some things you should know at all costs:

eMBB (Enhanced Mobile Broadband)

With the support of improved mobile broadband, app developers have plenty of space to create appealing, responsive and out-of-the-world interfaces. There is space for playing with AR, VR, UltraHD and even 360 streaming video with eMBB. Such advanced technologies can help create exotic digital experiences that can attract customers and lower the rate of dropping out of the app.

URLLC (Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communication)

One of the revolutionary features of a 5G smartphone is that data is shared in real-time between devices. Due to ultra-low latency communication, even when you are traveling in a vehicle or performing surgery in real-time, you will be able to transfer data in real-time.

Imagine driving and finding a red light. Logically, when the light goes green, it’s an indication to accelerate, but you see a car running a red light on your right side just when you are about to accelerate.

Today, to avoid the collision, the human mind may take time to decide whether to accelerate or hit the brakes. But if you’re riding in a 5G-leveraged self-driven car, it will stop immediately by detecting the 5G signal in the other direction.

5G mobile technology would allow app developers the freedom to create improved user experience by creating apps that were once a vision of moving level constraints. In fact, the best part is that 5G should reduce the loading time of the device, regardless of its volume.

mMTC (Massive Machine Type Communication)

We can have more community linked to 5G. You know that Machine Type Communication (MTC) is just communication between one computer and another without a human being’s intervention.

Massive Machine Type Transmission (mMTC) and mIoT traffic must deal with 5G networks. With the following implementations, this will have a huge impact on our individual and collective lives.

• 5G enabled health bands will send an ambulance to either a patient at home or someone who has experienced a life-threatening accident immediately by intimate health services.
• By autonomous drones, farmers will able to monitor and control their plants, machinery, and livestock.
• It would be a dream come true for the public to stream your favorite entertainment content without a stutter.
• Tracking bands allowed by 5G will allow parents to keep an eye on their children.
• Users will be able to connect to their smart home devices, allowing then to maximize on-the-go power consumption.
• You will be able to communicate and tell your driver-less car when to get your door and when to enter the parking lot.

There will be no lagging problem at all with low-power use and high-speed. Taking into account the above mentioned technologies, app developers will develop better mobile apps that would harness 5G’s power to create tomorrow’s truly smart cities.

Let’s Talk About Other Hand which everyone ignores.

Everybody is always excited about the new tech. Why wouldn’t that be? You can see the emergence of new possibilities that would benefit everybody.

But nobody wants to talk about the problems that accompany the new tech in this excitement. Because we all know that not all glitter is gold, let’s dig into some of the drawbacks of sung 5G technology.

You should be aware of some eye-opening stuff here:

• 5G is not going to work on older devices.
• You’re going to have to buy 5G enabled devices and they’re pricey.
• 5G mobile phone security is still at stake. The sharing of personal data is not transparent.
• The wave-length of high frequency used in 5G mobile phones pose a serious threat to human health.
