Explained: Does arrival of 6G means end of smartphones? Know here

6G

New Delhi: The talk of the town these days is – “will the smartphones become irrelevant with the arrival of 6G technology?”. The question was raised in the World Economic Forum at Davos, where Nokia CEO Pekka Lundmark claimed that smartphones won’t be a medium of interface anymore with the arrival of 6G technology by the year 2030.

Not only the claim here draw attention from around the world, but also raised serious concerns about the forthcoming changes, profits and losses related to the tech industry that 6G will bring to the market in coming years.

Here’s a concise explanation of the effects and possibilities of arrival of 6G technology to the tech market:

At present, 6G connectivity is present in India, while 5G service can begin in the year 2023. 6G technology in the country is expected to start by the year 2030.

Over 32 crore individuals are using feature phones across the country at present, and hence the need for smartphones to end by 2030 is a very rare possibility.

Dependence on smartphones will be reduced but will not end

At present, most of the functions of a smartphone can be found in an expensive smartwatch, including all kinds of functions such as calling, messaging, and more, resulting in the reduction of needs for a smartphone.

Similarly, with the entry of smartphone glasses, the dependence on smartphones will be further reduced than before. But the need for smartphones cannot be completely eliminated.

Adoption of 6G 

Meanwhile, the experts believes that the adoption of 6G technology will occur in several phases in India. Like any other revolutionary technology, the adoption of new technology like smart glasses will also take place from metros to small towns. After this, the shipment of smart glass technology will also come to the villages, which may take a long time.
