OPPO successfully tests World's first WeChat video call on the 5G smartphone
OPPO, the Chinese smartphone maker has successfully completed a multi-party video call using a 5G network on the popular social media app, WeChat, using a smartphone.
The company said on Monday that engineers from six OPPO research and development institutes worldwide participated in the video call.
The call was made by OPPO R15 Pro-based 5G smartphone, wherein the call lasted for more than 17 minutes on the 5G network that had a bandwidth of 100MHz.
The six engineers operating out of OPPO's R&D institute reported that the call had smooth connectivity and low latency during the video call.
For the 5G test, OPPO said it used Keysight's UXM signalling test set and 5G New Radio (NR) network emulation solutions for protocol and radio frequency (RF) performance validation in sub-6 gigahertz frequency bands.
OPPO went on to complete its first 5G signalling and data connections on a smartphone in August. With this, it became the first company to complete a 5G Internet access test on a smartphone in October.
The Chinese smartphone maker went on to say that it was working on becoming the first brand that would release a real commercial 5G smartphone next year.
