The first 5G smartphone from Huawei has a lot of battery problems

Until now, few companies have designed their own 5G chips, and even fewer are trying to introduce them into smartphones. One such company is Huawei, but first reports report that it is struggling with some problems.

It turns out that a smartphone with a 5G chip consumes 2.5 times more power than the competition with 4G. This means that new designs will need much larger batteries and very unusual cooling solutions. As a result, the company is beginning to focus on developing even better heat dissipation solutions and energy-saving technologies. It is very possible that Huawei will use cooling from Auras Technology in its first smartphones. Unfortunately, these modules are to be 0.4 mm thick, which will negatively affect the thickness of the smartphone.

The first phones are to be released in 2019 and they will use Qualcomm’s 5G modules – Snapdragon X50. The competition may be the Intel XMM 8000 5G, but they will be added to smartphones most likely later than the competitors.
