Home News Smartphones First Smartphones with Wi-Fi 7 Coming in 2024!The first smartphones compatible with the new Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) wireless standard will be introduced in the second half of 2024, according to a new report by DigiTimes citing chip manufacturers and inspection labs.This confirms previous reports that the first compatible laptops will be released by Intel as early as 2024.Also, Samsung is historically the first manufacturer to support this new standard, which means the first smartphones to use it could be the Galaxy S24, although these could come a little early as early as 2024.Therefore, your Galaxy S25s may be compatible with this new technology.As the Wi-Fi Alliance previously announced the standard, upcoming Wi-Fi 7 will use 320MHz channels and support 4K quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) technology to deliver speeds up to 2.4 times faster than Wi-Fi 6.Wi-Fi 6E, currently in the latest high-end devices, will therefore only be a transitional standard.See also: Xiaomi Pad 5 Received Android 12-Based MIUI 13.1 Update!The Wi-Fi Alliance says next-gen Wi-Fi 7 will further reduce latency to support 4K and 8K video streaming, AR/VR experiences, and more with the same number of 6E Wi-Fi bands.Wi-Fi 7 is also expected to offer theoretical data rates of at least 30 Gbps and possibly 40 Gbps.This is a significant speed boost as Wi-Fi 6 can deliver speeds of up to 9.6 Gbps while Wi-Fi 5 can deliver speeds of up to 3.5 Gbps.While smartphones will quickly become compatible in just a few years, compatible routers will also need to become available, and then carriers will also need to update their own devices to bring it to a wider audience.It's not yet clear when Apple will support Wi-Fi 7, but it's worth noting that Apple hasn't even embraced Wi-Fi 6E, which has been available since 2019.For this reason, Android competitors are always expected to be one step ahead in this area.I create useful content for readers who are interested in science, technology and software.Listen to the technology agenda from HWP!Subscribe to our podcast.Provided by HWP.com.tr hosting service.
