Today, the three-day Mobile World Congress 2024 officially concluded in Barcelona, Spain.
The theme of this year's conference is "Future First", focusing on six areas: beyond 5G, intelligent connectivity, AI humanization, digital intelligent manufacturing, rule subversion, and digital genes.
It is reported that this year's conference has about 2,400 exhibitors and 1,100 speakers, including China Mobile, China Telecom, Huawei, ZTE, Lenovo, Xiaomi, iFLYTEK and other 300 Chinese companies.
The new generation of mobile communication technology 5G-A, that is, the enhanced version of 5G, has attracted great attention. Some industry insiders believe that this year is the first year of 5G-A commercialization. Compared with the standard version of 5G, the biggest feature of 5G-A is the leap in network capabilities, the uplink and downlink speed can reach 10 times that of the standard version of 5G, and the latency is reduced and the reliability is improved.
Huawei, China Mobile, and ZTE launched a series of 5G-A-related technologies at the exhibition.
During MWC2024,Huawei launched a full range of 5G-A products and solutions, and officially launched the world's first communication model. It is reported that the communication model will help promote the popularization and application of 5G technology and inject new vitality into the development of the global communications industry. Especially in the fields of artificial intelligence and autonomous driving.
Li Peng, Senior Vice President of Huawei, said that 2024 is the first year of 5G-A commercialization, and combined with the development of cloud and AI technologies, operators have great potential for commercial growth.
China Mobile, one of the three major communications manufacturers in China, announced that it will launch the world's largest commercial deployment of 5G-A in more than 300 domestic cities in 2024and jointly released the top 10 5G-A innovations with global industry partners, continuously unleashing the potential of 5G and creating new value for 5G.
The 5G-A achievements released at the conference mainly include ten aspects: intelligent and lightweight new terminals, new integration of synaesthesia, new connection of space-ground integration, new immersive real-time experience, new business format of low-altitude coverage, new intelligent endogenous capabilities, new ecology of passive IoT, new benchmark for extreme performance, new endogenous services, and new architecture of synaesthesia computing intelligence.
Based on its own 5G technology advantages and one-stop metaverse platform, ZTE XRexplore has launched the industry's first 5G+XR online media integration solution. Based on this solution, it empowers innovative businesses in two fields, namely 5G MR immersive collaboration in the field of intelligent manufacturing and 5G VR large-space immersive theater in the field of digital cultural tourism.
In addition, ZTE also released the world's first upgraded 5G+AI glasses-free 3D tablet Nubia Pad 3D, which uses technical system-level 3D Anytime technology to achieve full free switching from 2D to 3D and deep integration of 5G+AI.
2024 is not only the first year of 5G-A, but also the first year of the mainstreaming of AI devices. In catching up with this wave of generative AI technology, Honor, OPPO, Xiaomi, and Lenovo are more active manufacturers.
First of all, let's talk about MWC's regulars, Glory.
This time,Honor's first global launch of MagicOS 80The operating system integrates platform-level AI and the industry's first intent recognition human-computer interaction. At the same time, it released an AI-enabled full-scenario strategy and brought a series of smart devices equipped with AI models, including the Magic6 series, the folding screen Magic V2 series products, and the AIPC Honor MagicBook Pro 16.
In addition, Honor has partnered with Qualcomm to demonstrate the powerful capabilities of the open-source LLAMA 2 device on the Honor Magic6 Pro.
Secondly,OPPO unveiled a new generation of assisted reality smart glasses, OPPO Air Glass 3 concept productIn the second quarter of this year, the company announced that a series of generative AI features, including AI elimination, will be rolled to the global OPPO Reno11 series and OPPO Find N3 products, and that future generative AI functions will be available in more global OPPO products, including the next generation of Reno phones.
And thenXiaomi officially released the "People, Cars, and Home Whole Ecology" and surging OS for the global market at the scene, the overseas debut of Xiaomi 14, Xiaomi 14 Ultra and other flagship mobile phones, among which Xiaomi car SU7 also made its debut in Europe.
Motorola showcased a flexible display smartphone that can be transformed according to the user's needs, and provides users with a truly integrated intelligent experience by adopting new artificial intelligence generation technology and enhancing the personalized customization function of the device.
Honor Zhao Ming said that the current wave of AI breakthroughs is unprecedented in history and will profoundly affect smart devices.
And in the field of AIPC, we have to mention Lenovo.
Yang Yuanqing, chairman and CEO of Lenovo Group, said that in the era of artificial intelligence, hybrid artificial intelligence using both public and private models is bringing unprecedented changes to the entire industry, promoting the deep integration of multiple devices, software and services.
For the first time, Lenovo unveiled its latest concept product, the ThinkBook transparent screen laptop, which is the world's first 17The most notable feature of the 3-inch Micro-LED transparent screen notebook concept machine is the ability to intelligently integrate virtual and reality. The combination of AI and transparent display technology opens up a whole new way of interacting with data and applications.
In addition, as an upstream chip manufacturer of communication terminals, MediaTek demonstrated its progress in AIGC technology at this exhibition.
MediaTek debuted an optimized Meta Llama 2 generative AI application, which leverages the hardware AI acceleration technology of the Dimensity 9300 and Dimensity 8300 APUs to generate summaries for users based on articles or long-form content, SDXL Turbo to instantly generate images from text and end-to-device generative AI skill extensions. At present, the Dimensity 9300 has supported Baichuan Ai Baichun, vivo bluelm, and OPPO Andresgpt.
As can be seen from the above, with the combination of generative AI on the device side and the general large model in the cloud, 5G+AI will empower various industry applications in more vertical markets. Promote the digital transformation of these industries in the fields of industrial, retail, security, energy, utilities, **chain, etc.
