Xiaomi Develops 6G, Stop Making 4G Cell Phones This Year

Xiaomi representative informed that the company would start doing 6G research, developing satellite internet, and stop making 4G cellphones by the end of this year.

According to CEO and founder of Xiaomi, Lei Jun, the suspension of 4G cellphone production will only apply in China. Because, at this time almost all mobile phones that slide in China can already use 5G. However, he did not provide further details about the development of 6G and the development of satellite internet.

Xiaomi has also launched the cheapest 5G mobile phone through the Redmi 10X which sold only Rp. 3.6 million (US $ 250). Interestingly, with that price range, this phone also uses AMOLED screens.
Redmi 10X uses Mediatek Dimensity 820 chipset which is predicted to be able to rival the performance of last year's flagship hp chipset.

This was revealed by Lei Jun in a recent interview with the Chinese news agency. According to him, 5G will revolutionize the industry by implementing conferences with 4K and 8K resolutions. Other than the other trend is cloud games (streaming games). Thus, the company will ensure the availability of 5G phones for their users to adjust to this trend.

He also revealed a number of difficulties that had plagued his company when the Covid-19 pandemic struck. According to him, this pandemic has hampered their supply chains, as reported by GizChina. So they have to subsidize up to 250 million yuan to increase their 5G smartphone production. Because this pandemic is draining the stock of 5G cellphones in warehouses, as written by Gizmo China.

To restore this situation, the company will stop producing their 4G cellphones in China. Thus, their factory in China will have enough resources to produce 5G phones. The company will also focus on making mobile devices and AIoT technology (artificial intelligence of things). Xiaomi will also work with the Chinese government to build a capable early warning system. The company will also work on other public service systems. Everything will be made thanks to the ability of 5G.
